Did I miss something? What was with those young guys when they all had their hands "stacked" without touching? I couldn't figure out what was meant by , "do you feel anything yet?" Huh??? Can anyone explain what in the world they were doing?

I think the yoga instructor was trying to get their energy chakras focused or something.

i remember someone doing that years ago. there is sort of a gravitational pull or warmth or something that's supposed to happen as the hands all start moving closer together of their own accord. but why was one guy excluded? the women were nuts in keeping the couch potato over the go-getter. if they don't merge soon, i hope both the other gals end up out and the poor scared-of-a-leaf couch potato has to spend the night alone! she'd freak on exile island! i wonder if it would have changed anything if tina had become close to at least one of the women and told about her need to be alone for a few minutes each day for her late son, charlie. somewhere between a sympathy vote and a you're the hardest worker here vote might have saved her.

Isn't it the spiritual art of REIKI? Every person I've ever met that has claimed to have whatever levels of "reiki master" (or whatever they get called), has never caused me to be healed, or feel anything different. And being here in Hippytown Canada, I know a few friends who are all over that stuff. Love 'em to death, but yeah.....that whole energy thing doesn't work. But I've gotta say, those yoga and reiki retreats keep the nuts in a cluster!!! LOL JK

I liked how they showed the two older tribes both buckling down and getting right to work. The younger men spend more time batting a coconut (or whatever that was) around, and make a half-assed attempt at a shelter. And the younger ladies wander around incapable of making a decision. But you know if any of those younger people were mixed up with an older tribesman who was trying to show a work ethic, they'd do the familiar "I don't need a mama/papa on the island telling me what to do." I guess this episode shows they do need someone older telling them what to do! LOL. I was really disappointed in Cirie. I was prepared to like her. She looked so strong and confident in her profile picture. Boy I guess looks can be deceiving! I hate when someone incompetent (or just doesn't deliver) whines about the person who does deliver, and suggests that "well, if they hadn't done it first, any one of us could have done it too." That just reeks of jealousy and immaturity. IMHO of course. Bruce also isn't going to last long if he keeps whistling and barking out orders. He's another one that sort of disappointed me. A little off from the personality I thought he'd have after seeing his profile.

Stupid, stupid eviction. I like the studs and the tarts, mostly because the tarts seem somewhat crazy. Looks like the geezers get along pretty well, except the nicotine addict (hi! lose your habit BEFORE the show!). The old ladies are a hot mess.

Wow! What kind of job does Shane have? It takes a long time to smoke 3 packs of cigarettes a day: 20 smokes in a pack = 60 smokes a day If he smoked 1 every 10 minutes = 6 per hour That would take him 10 hours per day just to smoke. That's some heavy puffing. When does he find time to work?

No, it only takes 5 minutes to smoke a cigarette, but you do have to count the time that it takes to get to a place where you can smoke. I used to have a 3 pack a day habit, but quit in 1993. Nicotine habits die hard, I still occasionally dream that I am having a cigarette - and that is after 13 years of no smoking at all!

I agree....it was a dumb eviction. My feeling is that it was too early in the game to let a strong player go. I was awed that Misty could remember as much as she did when Jeff was talking to her. I would have been nervous, scared, and ready to cry...and wouldn't have remembered a thing he said. I never thought about the water barrel...but I like it...I like it. IMO...Shane will crash and burn. I was impressed with the older men and women...could it be that I could relate to them??

I taped it and just watched it this am. Good God, why on earth would someone like Cerie even try out for Survivor and even worse, why would the producers chose her? And what's up with the friggin swimsuit she brought. Couldn't she figure out that her boobs would fall out every time she bends over slightly, never mind the physical competitions she'll have to do? Guess we'll be watching a lot of blurred out footage ala Richard Hatch. And how stupid and petty are the other two "older" women. They should start giving these contestants an IQ test as part of the screening and save us all from having to suffer idiots. It's just getting old. I hope all three of them go next.

I thought the water barrel was on the older women island, not Exile Ialand. Didn't Tina find it, build a shelter & trap a fish. It just goes to prove, we are all anoyed by over achievers. They just take it all too serious and want every one to get in step with them. With her out, the older women look pretty young now. I think her problem was that her personality just didn't click with the others on her team. In past Survivor shows being a loner type never works. I think it was a little too soon in her grief for something like this. Her family group back home looked pretty supportive however.

I thought the older women had more sense and it would be the younger tribes getting rid of people for stupid reasons. I guess age doesnt endow you with wisdom. People who quit smoking just before they enter the competition, those who have never enjoyed the great outdoors, individuals who don't know how to start a fire with a flint---should not be on the show! How come they are!! They are wasting a space someone better equipped could have. I like the four teams and the immunity idol one can whip out to ruin the mechanizations of those who think they are controlling the game. Can't wait for the first time someone doomed to leave, brings it out.

Cirie managed to get the other two to vote of Tina. Was it a dumb move? They had their shelter built, she showed them how to start a fire and really, even if they don't know it, she didn't catch a fish she found it. Her personality didn't suit them and Cirie was smart to play on that. She's still in the game and Tina isn't. And since it looks like they merge next week....it was a good move. I really liked Misty. She's really smart and she ate a worm on day 2!! WTG Misty!

I agree HotFudge... Cirie thought she was the first to go, but she was quick to pick up on the undercurrent of dislike of the other two women for Tina and played it to her advantage... ...and that's what this game is about.... Go Cirie...

I am wondering about the Immunity Idol. As others each week have to go to Exile Island and Jeff continues to give clues to it's hiding place, will Misty look a little foolish in her play acting? (which was no academy award by the way) I thought there would be an Idol placed for each exile to try and find. All that has to happen is for the next person to declare they too found it and all down the line. Liar Liar Pants on fire!

Cirei commented that Shane was ready to quite the game. How would she know unless she was on the same tribe as him. Although it could be a big trick by the producers.

I think Tina sealed her fate when she went on at tribal council about the other ladies not pulling their weight. She made it seem that she was the only one working, no one likes to hear that and I think it probably ticked off Melinda, who it seemed was ready to keep her.

My thoughts on immunity idol...Jeff said Mysti must consider "Why she was left behind" (or however he phrased it. While she was talking about it she was standing in front of a tree which clearly had a fork or a "Y" in the branches -- the cameraman made a point of kind of panning toward it. She stuck on the word "behind" but the "Why" stuck in my mind.

Yep, stupid eviction. If they don't merge next week, they are screwed. I'm wondering if Melinda and Ruth Marie planned to evict Cirie, but changed their minds when Tina said they weren't working as hard. They both seemed very complimentary of her until then, and then, at least Melinda, seemed a bit peeved. I know I winced when she said it. Too bad.

On an interview with Jeff (Regis & Kelly) he mentioned the merge coming second show. The point is to see if the groups bonded in that first week and will stay loyal to each other despite the merge. As they lost members, the teams would be too small to compete on big contests. As I remember it is going to be that old playground thing of "I pick_____".....back and forth until no one is left.

They had better merge or those stupid "older women" are doomed. I can't believe the other two let a woman who is afraid of leaves talk them into voting out the one who was taking care of business.

She isn't afraid of the leaves, it's the bigs under them. Jeff in same interview talked about her. Said she was a person who sat on their couch and kept saying "I could do that!" got up, entered and then she saw how tough it was. He seems to believe she was a "star" on the show, so I think she may shine as it goes along in other ways. I hope so.
