I couldnt belive it when Shane Cirie Danielle Bruce and rest chose to eat rather than compete for immunity. I guess I shouldn't be for it was Sally or Terry that was a given to go that night, not any of them.
I was hoping they would do that break a dish was somone's name on it challenge. That lays it out for all to see who is where in the pecking order. And that opens the eyes of those who thought they were higher up.

Is anybody else weirded out by Shane's over-the-top behavior about his son? I think that relationship is more than a little twisted. I realize he loves the son, and I don't mean that he has some evil behavior towards his son, but you need to keep the lines between parent/child a little less blended. "We grew up together...I was only 21 when I had him." - Doesn't every parent feel like they grow up when they have their first child? I was 38 when I had mine and I'm pretty sure I was still behaving like a child...LOL...but I had to grow up to be a parent.

Shane just oogs me out.

I guess you a right in a way. But I just get very touched by the amount of love he gives to that kid. Is there a thing as loving a kid too much?? (Let's not get kinky...)

I agree with Roxip.

But Shane's entire demeanour and behaviour is way over the top and inappropriate most of the time.

I am just hoping it's the Mother who actually has custody...I think Shane is a few sandwiches shy of a picnic.

That bunch stuffing themselves weren't thinking. Sure, they were safe, but they handed Terry another immunity on a silver platter. They gave him two safe weeks. What if Aras had chowed down, too?

Shane makes good TV (man, him & his diaper rash had me rolling last night). I just wouldn't want to be stranded with someone like him.

I don't blame Cirie, Danielle and Shane for wanting to get something to eat. Bruce and Courtney, on the other hand, had just scarfed up pb&j and milk, so I think it was kind of crappy of them to eat again.

I was disappointed that Sally did not wake up and see the situation clearly. She was blinded by Terry's promise of using the idol coupled with his constant tending to her. She was hood winked by a scoundrel!

It would have been wise to tell everyone that Terry really did have the idol and she was with them all the way in ousting him. When he did not save Nick both she and Austin should have started bargaining for themselves.

As far as Shane goes, parents should be parents and not best friends to their kids but he gives him unconditional love and that is the most important thing a parent can do. I know many who have survived much worse to emerge and shine. No one is going to do everything right.

Not one person eating could have beaten Terry to the symbols, memorized them on the first try and made it back to the beach to excute the puzzle in time. Better they ate for the energy needed to compete in a challenge they could win.

We must be up for a less physical challenge next week. Memory game looms in the future along with facts about the others quiz. They only thing I think Terry could possibly fail is personal details about the Casaya members. Hopefully they shared a lot about their lives with each other before the merge.

They should all be anticipating this and grilling each other on details night and day.

My favorite moment last night was Jeff calling Danielle on her comments of Terry being cocky. If Terry is cocky, what does that make Shane?

I agree with Sally that Terry needs that secret idol more then ever.

Cirie pissed me off so much the first week but I've grown to really like her since. I'll be fine with anyone winning outside of Courtney, Danielle or Shane. No good reasons why for that other then they just bug the bejeezuz out of me.

I LOL when Terry won so fast and they couldn't keep eating!

I like Cirie but didn't like her comment about hoping Terry gets his arm cut off cuz they were tired of hearing his Navy stories. Even my 10 yr old said 'he fights for our country, that's not nice'

I think Cirie made a comment about Terry "breaking" his arm (not cutting it off).

Cracked me up that Cirie has Terry's strategy figured out -- she KNEW he would never give the idol to Sally, and in that conversation, I knew the "alliance" would still vote her out, not turn on Aras.

I would LOVE to see Terry win at least one more individual immunity just to see them turn on each other. I don't think it will get nasty, because they seem like fairly nice people, but the stress, hunger, etc. will definitely make them more testy than usual. :-)

As for Shane, definite creep factor w/his feelings toward his son. I sincerely hope that boy is well-adjusted and not a "jerk" because I have a feeling Shane wouldn't know how to discipline him at all. Scares me when parents rely so heavily on their kids for relationships that should better be found w/their peers. Children need a PARENT; the friend part doesn't come until they are MUCH older than his son. I always had a good relationship w/my parents, but there was no doubt who was in charge! We're best friends now and love "hanging out" together, but that came about after I moved out of the house. Love is important, but Shane's dependency on his son truly creeped me out.

Stephanie (yes, "that" Steph, from Guatemala and before) was on a local radio station today. She says Shane is putting on a big act for the cameras. She says he has been in at least five films and aspires to more. I do hope that is the case, 'cause I do agree -- his reactions can be pretty creepy...

there was a link to an EW article that listed his films..very very low budget stuff and it was awhile ago

I was surprised he hasnt mentioned cigs anymore, esp after smoking that one a few wks ago...so yes, it all could be an act

Loved the Owl/Shane/Cirie skit!

I had to LOL that the "reward" on this challenge included PBJ, since its considered a punishment on Big Brother!

As for Shane and his bond with his son. I appreciate reading other's comments here about it. My own life experience makes it hard for me to conceptualize the idea of a man being devoted to his child. Of course I know those bonds exist, but just not in my world.

What bothers me most about Shane's behavior regarding his son is his description of all the relationship categories he has placed him in besides son, such as "best friend", and most creepy and disturbing, "wife". Beside sounding mighty unhealthy, it puts inordinate pressure on a little boy to fulfull his father's needs.

Maybe there is nothing weird at all and he just loves his son but he's not expressing it very well to the Survivor camera?

Good point Jimmer. And I didn't really elaborate on my own viewpoint. I'm not so sure I considered his behavior weird last night. I just remember it crossing my mind how foreign it is to me to see a man so devoted to his child. Again, I know there are men out there that are devoted, in fact I'm sure most are. Just that in my world it never happened, and never will (I found my father's name on the Social Security Death Index on line a few years ago). So, in my world its a foreign concept.

I missed the reference to "wife." Are you sure he didn't say "life?" Just wondering.

I can accept "best friend" reference. After all, that was in the lyrics to the theme song of the tv series, The Courtship of Eddie's Father.

I agree Jimmer, as I said in my post above, he is giving his kid unconditional love and that is that is the most important ingredient. He is well intended and not a bad guy. I have come to like him a lot. He makes me laugh and that is good.

Don't know about the Prince song. I tried Googling, but since I've never really listened to Prince, I wouldn't know if I'd hit on a Google search or not!

But here's the lyrics to the Courtship of Eddie's Father (it was going through my head after my last post, so I had to go find it).

People let me tell you 'bout my best friend,
He's a warm hearted person who'll love me till the end.
People let me tell you bout my best friend,
He's a one boy cuddly toy, my up, my down, my pride and joy.

People let me tell you 'bout him he's so much fun
Whether we're talkin' man to man or whether we're talking son to son.
Cause he's my best friend.
Yes he's my best friend.

I used to work for an attorney who was a 16 hr. a day, 7 days a week workaholic. He didn't even know he had two children. His motto was it was more important to go to the office (yes... even on Thanksgiving) than to spend time with his children. Needless to say, his kids (ages 6 and 10 are an absolute mess). This was a man who would rather go to a seminar than watch his child in a play at school. I actually found it rather touching how much Shane loves his son and would do anything for him, because I worked for someone who would rather work than do anything with his children.
