Wow... glad to see I'm not the only one who thought the Idol was in the water barrel. It made perfect sense to hide it there when Jeffie told water was useless unless she had fire to boil it.

... also agree with everyone here that in the 12 seasons (I have yet to miss a show) of Survivor, last night may go down as the worst eviction of all time. I was really hoping Tina would go far in this game.

Since Jeff mentioned the merge coming in the second show, I'm wondering why they even bothered to start off with four tribes to begin with -- if they're just going to go to the usual two tribe format within a couple of days... (Especially after making such a huge freaking deal out of the whole men vs. women, older vs. younger)... JMHO of course!

Sallycat, I don't think he'll have much choice this season, LOL. (Nor will we, methinks.)

Because this show had a lot of information to deliver the editing did not show us why Tina was targeted. Since it was a unanimous decision I have to believe it was not stupid or unfounded. I like Cerie, she stood out as my favorite last night. Foolish of the young woman to elude to finding the idol. Very transparent and silly. Keeping silent would have been the better clue to create doubt. Roxip, I don't see the word why having anything to do with it. It sounded as if that was a rehearsed speech. Paper/rock/scissors was the why, not much to ponder there. Why do some think the II was in the water barrel other than it was to her "left". Jeff said the water was useless without fire to boil it. Where is the clue there?

The reason I immediately thought the II was in the water barrel was because Jeff told her the water was useless without fire to first boil it. Obviously, as she had no fire, unless curiosity got the best of her to check out the nasty water, she had no reason to open the water barrel.

Exactly. I can't see anyone on exile Island having fire. It's hard enough to make fire with sticks with two people doing it, one person has almost no hope, so why give them water they can not drink unless it's been boiled? I think because it's in the barrel. I read somewhere, maybe here, that each time the II is found it's replaced and hidden in a different spot...is that true?

I don't think that's true unless it's only replaced after it is used. Otherwise, they could have a situation where everyone in the tribe has immunity.

We can speculate about where the II is until the cows come home but it doesn't matter until somebody finds it...I wonder if we'll know beforehand...probably not.

I would think that say this week when someone goes to exile, they could take the flint with them, then they could boil the water...although now come to think of it, I don't know what they would boil it in. Nevermind

Why have four teams? To see if the age/gender early hook ups (first two weeks) would form alliances/bonds that might carry through to the end, even if they ended up on opposing teams. I am quoting Jeff on the Regis & Kelly show.

they could use the skulls to boil it in. and, why would anyone go on this show and not know how to start a fire without flint?

Cnd, that fact amazes me with every new season of Survivor. Not only not knowing how to use a flint, but a lot of them have no clue what to do when they get out there. Most of them couldn't build a shelter alone, how to start a fire, or find food. If ya know you're going why aren't you studying and practicing?? They might not have an idea of where there going, but they could learn some of the basics once they know they've been picked. The old thing bugged me, lol. Golden girls...sheesh, none of them are old or even close to it! Everytime someone mentioned the old men/women or the golden girls I started screaming at the tv, where the heck are the old people?? Ok, so my pup kept looking at me like I was insane, but my definition of old certainly doesn't follow theirs!

I have no idea how to use flint, wouldnt know what to do but I guarantee I would learn. Now for me I would love to see a merged tribe of the golden girls and the young men, what a riot to watch a team of total incompetents. The guys will be playing baseball, while the women walk around with their index fingers in their mouths being indecisive.

It's disheartening that they are the old lady tribe when 2 of them are around my age. I think Melinda is actually younger then me.

I thought it was the younger women who were indecisive. At least I remember them as such cause they couldn't decide where to build a shelter. But I agree it would be a hoot to match up a "young" tribe with the opposing gender's "old" tribe. I'm only younger than one "old" woman in their tribe...and I'll "match" her age come Monday!

<the women walk around with their index fingers in their mouths being indecisive> LOL. That's a pretty accurate description of those three, Maris.

Good thought on the II in the water barrel and who says Misty didn't find it! She doesn't have to reveal she found it does she. She could have gotten into the water barrel just to wash up <wink> and tada found it maybe...just a thought. Bad choice bootin Tina ....and can someone get the moon tan astronaut some sunscreen

I wish/hope they would keep 4 teams for one more show -- I'm enjoying the older teams more (work ethic, ability, etc.), and even though I thought Chire was none too bright in orchestrating Tina's eviction, I cracked up on her "couch" comment. I think I'll like her after I get over her manipulation from this week. LOL -- Ocean my DH and I said exactly the same thing!!! Astronaut man was reflectively white! I'll be interested to see if his mini-alliance with Navy Pilot man lasts through the next set of teams. I liked both of them.

LOL, I thought the clue was "behind a rock." Because she was left "behind" because of "rock," paper, scissors. That's what my peabrain came up with.

Jeff did say that the astronaut was the palest survivor, ever.

I thought Jeff said there was only one chance at the II on exile island…once it’s fond that’s was it…did I miss-hear. Are the clues consecutive…like does everyone’s first trip to exile have the same first clue. If it’s your second time there do you get a second clue? I don’t think it could work that way or can it…Jeff spoke sorta specific to Misty. Or is the clue specific only to that particular stint on exile and they move it each time? Is it the losing team from the reward challenge that throws one of their own into exile? Would it ever make sense to want/volunteer to be exiled? Just asking…

Wow ~ I was watching Tina from the beginning and thinking 'this is great - these old ladies could easily win this!'. And then what happens?! Sigh . . . . Has Cirie never watched this show? Did she not know about the bugs? Did she not know about keeping the strong to get you ahead? Mark my words, the minute they merge with the young ones, Cirie is history. She won't even make the jury. As for the guy who decided to wait until he got there to kick a 3 pack a day habit. I really like the four tribe concept. Sorry to hear it doesn't remain that way longer.

The II can be used until there are three people left Lil. And I believe Jeff said, 'here is the/you first clue'...so the next person will get another clue. I was thinking the II is wood or metal and maybe would not be put in the barrel (unless it was possibly wrapped in plastic first)...I just have a feeling people would at least take a look at how undrinkable the water is...so, I guess there's a possibility she did find it...
