I have alway been rooting for Cirie. I think she is someone I could be friends with in the RW. I wouldn't mind in the least to see her take it home.

That said, after Thursdays show I have gained a new respect for Aras. After everyone else sat down on the job and left him to fight for immunity on his own I hope he stays longer then next week. I would think that after they left him out to dry it might just open his eyes to the rest of his tribe.

Now a perfect finish for me would be Terry and Aras fighting it out in the final 3. Of course my girl Cirie would be the thrid and kick their hineys....all the way to the bank.

Cirie has really grown on me too.

I'll admit I was very disappointed in her in the first episode. Not so much on her campaigning to get Tina out, but because of the way she kept referring to her as "that lumberjack lady." I was thinking, with only four people in the tribe (at the time), how hard is it to learn names? Calling her "that lumberjack lady" just seemed like a dismissal of Tina and her "worthiness" to have a name.

But Cirie's observations and humor as she sort of sits back and watches these people self destruct is pretty priceless!

I've liked Cirie all along.

I agree that it is best to consider that Shane just loves his son, BUT, I always keep my mind open and watching because he may just be talking a good game and I'd want to see him with his sone in real life. I do think he loves the boy and that's a good thing, but I think he's a strange one as well (Shane, not the kid). I think he "protests too much".. in other words, he talks about it too much, perhaps to get sympathy?

I don't think Aras had a choice but to compete; he felt quite vulnerable. But I give him props for giving it a go!

As for Tina, now that they've seen the shows maybe they call her oyster hoarder.. and the irony is that she could have shared the oysters. Not only was she gone before her hoarding could really help her, but then they lost that camp anyway. And really, that first vote, the only way to survive was to quickly target anyone else and get someone to go with you. Going on Survivor and not doing that is a sure recipe for you being the target.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone hadn't thought of Cirie as "the nurse" before really learning her name.

And yeah, her humor, considering that she was such an early target, has been really fun to observe.

I have to agree with Seamonkey about Shane. I'm sure he loves his son and I'm also sure, he's playing the game. As far as Terry giving Sally the idol, on the CBS early show Sally said she told Terry if Courtney wouldn't agree to switch, that he should keep the idol. Bruce had agreed to switch but Courtney wouldn't give a answer to Terry.

I wish my 11-yr-old had a quarter of the devotion from his dad that Shane has for his son. I can't imagine being away from my son for that long. I miss him when he's gone for the weekend to his dad's (which isn't very often), although there are times when he's only been home for 5 minutes and I wonder why.

I remember when Colby had the chafing problem. I bet Cirie wouldn't have had a problem looking then.

Native_Texan would have volunteered to put on the powder for Colby.

I don't think Rupert volunteered or asked anyone to "take a look" when he had his chafing issues -- just borrowed a girl's dress for his first skirt! LOL

Roxip's got that right. Except I think an ointment would have been much better.

Teach, I think Rupert had a little more "home training" than Shane.

Native, I'm betting if your ex went on Survivor, he'd talk all the time about how close he is to his son. I'd love to know what Shane's son's mom is thinking, watching this.

Just not wanting to take him at face value.

Sea, you got that right. But we would only have to hear it for the first three days because he'd be the first one out. His team would lose the IC (if he had not already met with an "unfortunate accident") just to be able to get rid of him.

Naw, Native, he would be the one they keep to the end because they know nobody else would vote for his fat, lazy, poor white trash butt! (Can I say that?)

Every season they have the immunity challenge where they choose which person's item to bust, putting them out of the running. If this happens this season, they will ALL go after Terry's. He will need the II then, so I guess it is a good thing he has hung on to it.

I don't think they've used that type of competition for immunity since S7. They only use it for reward these days (which I think is a good thing).

Hi everyone, haven't been here before, am a big Survivor fan, but a Big Brother fanatic. Anyway, I wonder about Shane's devotion to his son. Did anyone look closely at the expression on the son's face during his video. I realize he is a pre-teen and they are all moody, but he didn't look overly thrilled about making that video. Maybe because he knew it was all fake. Although, Shane did shed more than a few tears when he saw it. Oh heck, I don't know. Shane is such a nut case who can tell?

Roxip, of course you can say that. It is the perfect description except for his fat butt. I have not paid that much attention, but I thought he was pretty scrawny. LOL

I don't doubt that Shane loves his son and misses him, but I imagine that Cirie loves and misses her children just as much as he does.

I know people react differently, but her quiet tears were more touching to me than his loud sobs. I do think he is using it to make himself look more likable.

Perhaps he knows he has a grating personality and wants to make himself appear more human and vunerable. Oh, heck, I am not sure he is that smart.

If I was Aras, I would be majorly pissed. They really hung him out to dry. He knew that if they had the idol and decided to use it, he was gone.

Even if they could not win it, they should have at least given it a try. And by getting the food, the others have gained an advantage that he did not get. Major blunder on their part.
