I saw JP being booted about halfway through the show. Once the women started their strategy (while on the phone with my daughter) my husband was in the background saying "every year the chicks gang up on the guys." Oh well - it happens. Glad to see JP get the boot and that he was surprised. He did act like King Tut.

I would like Cao Boi to get voted off. I liked him at first but the bird nest incident made me change my mind. I don't think there will be any problem about the mother taking the chick back after it was touched. Wild life rehabilitators recommend putting a fallen bird back in the nest. I hope the nest holds together and stays anchored. I don't like to see someone destroying the environment like that for no reason .

Destroying the nest like that regardless the final outcome it was reprehensible. But at least CowBoy was remorseful. I’m not as invested in the show as I usually am but I was glad he got booted. Just going by the edited version we saw…JP seemed a bit obnoxious by acting bossy while laying around. I’m a big softy and usually get sucked into rooting for the underdog of the episode and the girls seemed to be the underdogs this time. The guys/JP certainly seemed too cocky in going against not only the females in their tribe but the opposing tribe too. They didn’t show any of EI, did they?

I haven't passed judgement on Ozzy yet as far as gameplay, and wasn't real impressed with Ozzy's pity-party, but I was glad to see him go ahead and continue to fish. Man, that dude can swim! Two challenges tonight that he either kept the lead or took the lead by swimming. Would TPTB tend to Jenny's hand? Peroxide, check to see if it needs stitches, something? Didn't look like it was bandaged - I thought the cloth on her wrist were scrunchies. Maybe I missed something, flashing between Ugly Betty, Earl, and Survivor. maybe it's finally time to check into a dvr or tivo...heck, we don't even have cell phones...lol

I know some don't like Jonathan's voice, etc., but I liked him the first week and like him even more after tonight's episode. I'm actually liking most of the people this Survivor so it's hard to root for any one person or alliance at this point. Heck, Ozzie even finally managed to impress me this week! Couldn't feel sorry for JP as he dug his own grave.

I really like Ozzie. I think his reaction to losing a fellow Latino (and a game ally) probably was what he was expressing so soon after tribal council. It was a knee jerk reaction. I don't think the producers always show us that immediately following TC footage. I'm sure a lot of the survivors feel that right after losing an ally, but we just never get to see those post-TC interviews. I really like Ozzy. I think his move to get rid of the rocker guy was smart, and he is playing the game. And he is doing his part, without being a threat to his team. He's my favorite right now. I really like Brad and Yul too. Still hate CaoBoi, and tonight just disgusted me. I don't even care that he was remorseful. When it comes to animals, I just think in black and white. I am pretty sure that the production people will most likely keep an eye on that nest, and maybe have a wildlife person on staff to help out with that. I think one of the main things they sign off on, with the governments, is the types of wildlife that are fair game, and ones that are off-limits and protected. There are certain ways that they are not allowed to impact the land. I am hoping that the next and the bird will be/were taken care of. I'm a bit sad JP got voted off, even though he was totally acting like a prince. He was good on the eyes, so I was a bit of a JP supporter. Luckily, I still have Adam. He reminds me of the actor in that old TV show "Jack & Jill". Hot hot hot. I hope the women vote Parvati out soon, and see that her hesitation to flip the script was a clue that she's not that "with them". I liked that Brad AND Adam also voted JP out. I wonder why....

I am a birder-fairly seriously, but I have to admit, if I were starving for protein, I'd go after a bird's egg, which was the original intent. When they found the hatchling, they did everything they could to replace it in the nest. I think it's a myth that mother birds will abandon their young if touched by humans. I actually liked Jonathon and Cowboy even more after that scene.

I need to rewatch my tape. But it looked kind of like (at first blush) when Cowboy and Jonathan started to return the nest w/baby back up into the tree.... - at first as they started stretching the nest upwards, you could see daylight through the nest, like part of it had fallen out and hardly enough nest left intact to keep the baby from falling through the twigs. - next shot, it looked like a FULL, thick nest (pretty dang brilliant IMHO to locate a pronged/forked branch to send it back up into the sky for Cowboy to place back in the tree without joggling the baby bird further.) I bet some hired naturalist was already in place to make sure the birds stayed okay. CBS sure doesn't want to lose viewers who were outraged because of this. That's why so many movies say "No animals were hurt in this movie...", VERY bad PR & people boycott because it makes them SO mad when creatures are harmed. (Even JUST A LITTLE BIT HARMED, such as BB's critter, James.) Frankly, I was expecting to see them lose the next challenge - - like, some sort of Bad Boogie Baby Karma inflicted on them or something. I'm not surprised that Cowboy and Jonathan were upset, they both seem very human and earth conscious to me.

So, how come no one feels this bad when they kill the chickens? Aren't chickens birds?

Chili, Cao Boi showed a lot of disrespect for the habitat in what he did. He is a guest on the island. Biscotti, I too was "amazed" how the nest got thicker and fit right back on the branch.

Adding, wasn't there some place where in an eating competition they ate unborn chicks. It was a local delicacy. I remember not wanting to watch.

they ate unborn duck eggs when they were in guatemala i think. i couldn't watch it either. i was terribly upset by him knocking that blue-nosed booby's nest out of the tree. they have plenty of fish and crabs. that was just cruel in my opinion. they have no way of knowing if they injured that chick or not. and, i listened closely to jonathan's voice. he does sound a little like alan alda with a very bad cold. the chickens were given to them for food. chickens are commonly eaten by most countries in the world. blue-nosed booby's are not.

So, how come no one feels this bad when they kill the chickens? As an animal, your chances of being well thought of and well treated by humans, greatly increases if you are cute. It's even better if you are young and cute.

I guess I'm not an environmentalist, because I just don't feel that emotional about the bird's nest incident. Yes, the next probably should have been left alone, but they were looking for food. And they worked really hard to rectify their mistake. I'm not going to hang them up by their ears to make them atone! I think when you are trying to survive in an unfamiliar situation you should find every food option you can. Eggs would be a welcome break from seafood, IMO (but then again I am allergic to shellfish).

Sometimes I get so annoyed over the sneaky CBS editing. I mean we know that Parvati had issues with JP, but they show us her so-so answer. And they never even showed anyone approaching Adam!! Interesting how Parvati and Adam were originally on the same tribe but we never even see them talking. I wonder if this is typical CBS/Mark Burnett misdirection

I could SWEAR that CaoBoi said there were no eggs BEFORE he hit the nest down. Mind you, I'll admit I probably have subjective memory.

It's a wonder that that momma bird didn't poke Cao Boi's eyes out with her long beak! I was pissed about the incident until I saw the momma bird get back on the nest and saw that Cao Boi felt bad. Jonathan impressed me with his care of the little bird but I wished they would have stopped Cao Boi in the first place. With all the fish Ozzy is catching they didn't need to mess with the birds. Ozzy is my favorite as of right now with Stephanie coming in 2nd. Ozzy is such a little cutie pie and seems genuine. Nathan seems a little ditzie with the Parvoti comments. I'm so glad JP got what he had coming, sitting around like some kind of king!

I can't get behind Ozzi only because he acted just like JP before the teams were split up. He was way too sure of himself. As JP mentioned this game is about a lot more than brute strength. I'm kinda rooting for any of the females besides Parvti (sp...sorry). I still like Yul and Becky. I want them to be a couple. LOL CowBoy is an interesting fella...odd enough not but not odd enough to grate on my nerves. I'll give him a pass on the brid nest dystruction but I don't want him to win the $$$$$$.

Wow I had to rewind this episode as I thought I had missed the lead in to the reward challenge. To my surprise there was no lead in. I miss the days when we saw the survivors get tree mail and try to decifer the clues...or practice their stilts before the challenge...Tonight was wham Bang right into the challenge...

I felt worse about them eating the octopus than what happened to the bird but then food is food whether it's an octopus, a bird or an egg. You eat what you can when you are hungry. My neighbor's cat eats any bird it can catch and it doesn't care what kind it is.

Well I guess this incident does bring up an interesting discussion. That little bird was so darn cute and innocent -- we can't help but go Ohhh. But is their hunting for food any different from catching all of those fish? or octupus? or chickens? wild boar? shark? rats? crabs? and didn't someone catcha shark one year??

Ozzy, Nate, and Yul are my top three favorites. I agree Bonbonlover...there is no difference between hunting. It is what it is. Cao Boi's actions didn't bother me one bit. I might have thought eggs would be a nice change from seafood as well. He showed remorse when he saw the baby bird.

That't true, Bonbonlover. I found watching them hack that live shark with a dull machete much more disturbing than accidentally knocking a baby bird out of the nest. At least they treated the bird humanely; not the same with the shark. Besides, with some carrots and onions that bird might have made some good soup. Sorry, but I grew up in the country where that cute little calf that you nurtured all summer and fall turned into your winter hamburgers.

okay so cute little birdie, I am glad he is safely home...but I can't fault Coi Boi for trying to find eggs... But let's think about this...If there had been an egg or two up in the nest, don't you think it would be scrambled and broken in the dirt after Coi Boi tossed the nest from atop the tree? Now for that I can fault him!
