Julieboo, I was wondering that myself especially since it was supposed to be such a unanimous decision to vote Cristina off.

It seems like we are missing something. I mean wasn't the decision to boot Cristina unanimous? Why not save Stephannie for next time and get rid of the irritating one now? I just wonder what alliance we are not getting to see? (If there is one.)

Maybe in the end, they did decide Cristina was more valuable for challenges.

That's my only guess, but why wouldn't they give us at least a little clip of that discussion? Unless they did it on purpose so that we'd talk about it!!

It's called MBE - Mark Burnett Editing. If you get attuned to it, you can figure out, in advance, exactly what will happen at tribal.

On the Early show, Stephanie said she really didn't have any clue. She went to tribal thinking they were voting out Cristina. The only thing she could guess was that her statement the previous time about being the weakest link was rekindled when Nate told everyone about the mashed potatoes comment. So no real help there.

LOL...I thought the women were comparing how much hair they had under their arms...didn't realize it was about a rash!

I'm not liking one of the Asian women but I don't know which one it is...Becky I think (the one on the Raro tribe). She seems to be getting to the point where she thinks she is running the roost. Probably because she has a strong alliance with Yul and thinks he will protect her to the end. She is kind of raising my hackles. She has this look on her face when she doesn't like someone and it isn't pretty.

Jenny is in the Raro tribe but Yul is in the Aitu tribe.

I didnt want to see Stephanie go, either. But she said a few things to the camera, one prior to the vote, and one after, to the effect of not being totally focused on the game, and how quick the others pick up on that. I thought the mashed potato comment was innocent, too, but it may have been one of several suggestions that she really was homesick or tired, or whatever.
That being said, I don't like the way Nate seems to be tattling. I think he'd better watch his step, as last week he was the only one in the dark about voting JP off. That says to me that either he doen't read people very well, or his teammates don't trust him.

Maybe Nate was just ensuring it would not be a man voted off.

There really isn't anyone I can get very excited about. The only one I'd care to spend time with is Cao Boi and he would get on my nerves if he never shuts up. I would like to pick up some of his wisdom tho.

Roxip, one of the eliminated people said in their interview that Becky was called Bossy Becky by her tribemates and Cao Boi did want to vote her off right after the merge. He called her a princess and said she was the weak link but then I think Yul turned the tide.

I think they decided to vote Stephennie out for the reasons she said in her goodbye message... if you think someone's head is not in the game, that person could become more of a liability than an asset. And since it appeared that most of the tribe thought they were both weak links, they also probably thought it was better to get rid of the one who didn't seem to want to be there. Granted, I think she was kinda joking around when she made that comment about eating mashed potatoes and gravy to Nate, but she had also said some things that kinda were a bit "off." Even her comment at TC about "being there when needed, but not being there when not needed" sounded kind of weird.

I'm kinda liking Yul (I think he's honest) and Flicka/Jessica (although she seems to be a bit wishy washy). And I, too, was impressed with Adam and Nate during the challenge. They really supported each other, and really showed their strength. Especially together. They are gonna be a threat if they make it to the merge together, but I dunno if anyone sees that.

I was also impressed with Flicka's balance and determination during the immunity challenge. That girl has some strength, physically and mentally.

I thought that was a bizarre thing for Jonathan to say about the II. It was there, but it's not there now. So he basically declared that someone has the II. That said, I still think that if the person holding the II (Yul) played his cards right, he could use the II to his advantage. What's his name didn't get a chance last year, and Yul would have to really trust someone, but he could use it to oust someone without them knowing they were the target. We'll see if they smarten up about the II and use it.

I'm not really into this season, for some reason. I dunno if I'm just bored with Survivor, if the contestants are too predictable (there's the bossy woman, the flirty woman, the hunky young guy, the know it all older guy... always the same "types"). And I think the fact that I don't feel real strongly about anyone winning may be a telling factor.

I made cookies during this last Survivor and was surprised that I wasn't as involved as in the past. Maybe we just need some time to get to gel with the characters. Hoping that is just it.

I think some of it has to do with the fact that for the past two seasons, they've had 4 tribes at the onset and couldn't spend as much time with everybody as they did in the past.

So it's taking longer to get to know or get a feel for the contestants.

I'm finally getting around to watching S2, about a year from when I bought it! It's very startling to see how pure and real this season was compared to about the last five. Maybe I'm getting burned out on the show and just don't LOVE IT, love it like I used too. Maybe the show was just really more fun back then.}}}

I was thinking the same thing. Both Survivor and TAR this season are boringish. I think it's the people; they are hohum. No one to really despise and no one to really cheer for above the rest.

I use to be so excited on the days that Survivor and TAR came on. I could not wait for the evenings to arrive. Now I do not even care. I think it is the people, too. So disappointed that MB went looking for people instead of using the people that tried out. Clearly some of these people on Survivor have not watched the game.

I too, don't like the older bossy contestants unless they can back it up with more than their mouth like the guys in the last 2 seasons. That being said, I think both Jonathan & Christina are not going to be long in this game. I don't care for the girls who flirt their way through either - so we all know that means the girl with the unusual name (Par something) needs to go IMO. The lazy floater girls can go too. The strong mouthy young guys who don't do much except excell in the comps. usually go home early too - like JP. I like Coa Boi alot but want him to shut up a little because if it gets too much on the other's nerves, they'll get rid of him purely out of stress relief. All of the Asian players are standing out to me (except for Becky) as possible winner candidates. I really like Adam & Nate too. Flicka seems to be one of the girls with the right guts & determination to be a contendor. It's hard to pick a single stand out this season or a single "gotta get them out of there" person. I think that's a reason it isn't as interesting to some because they have no one to Love & no one to really Love to Hate.

Has anyone noticed that none of the whities or Asians have been eliminted yet. So far it's two blacks and three hispanics that are gone. Coincidence or not? Comments?

I didn't like Flica at first but she is growing on me because she seems to be enjoying herself so much and trying to get the others to have fun with this. She appears to be fiesty and up for anything. Her hair is just nasty though. Can we have a challenge where you have to shave your head?

Chili, I think that eliminations had nothing to do with race at all. Remember that the first few eliminated were sent home by members of their own tribes/race. I'm betting this is the kind of talk that the producers wanted all along. Personally, I don't want to go there because I truly don't give a rat's butt what a player's race is, it's about game play.

Ok, so this is what's bugging me about this years Survivor...and it's petty.
The girl with the name Parvati - she pronounces it Par-va-dee and when the players say her name it sounds like poverty (as in the state of being poor)...and this bothers me because I used to know someone with the same name (from India, via England) who pronounced it Par-vat-tee (par, as in on-par, vat, like vat of wine, and tee like t-shirt).
So everytime I hear one of them mumble her name, it bugs me cause I'm hearing "poverty", lol
is that silly or what?

Yowie, it has also been making me crazy. I thought her name was pronounced like the same as "harvati" cheese, (except with a "P") and I noticed that everyone was pronouncing it as "poverty." Jeff also calls her "Poverty."

I noticed the same thing. They must be pronouncing it right though or you'd think she would say something.

I don't care about race either. I just thought it was an interesting fact and wanted to see what anyone else thought. Sometimes this type discussion can enlighten you on things you've never thought of. Still, comments?
