You mean unblurred? Nick? :-) :-)

Yeah, JR is really a professional poker player.
In some of the pre-show previews, Jeff said he had a discussion with the show's head-shrinker and she had confirmed that, Jean-Robert's plan would've worked in normal human conditions of relationships. But we all know how Survivor is nothing normal and how much first impressions worth in the game! -- There's a lot more to Jeff's analysis of JR, I'm not sure if everyone here considers it spoilers or not, so if you really want it, we can go dig it out from the Pre-show discussion thread.

Leslie seemed just sick and clueless. It might be merciful to send her home soon. Who knows what the tribe dynamics would be by the time FeiLong needs a date with Jeff? JR or Leslie, unless someone else offers themselves up in a bad way.

I really wish they wouldn't edit so much. When they finally showed the fire being started, I could see a black smear where there had previously been a fire. Geeze we're not that stupid. I wish they would show more camp life and the interaction of people meeting people competing for a million dollars.

Up thread someone kind of mocked it. But why wouldn't you want to get to know each other? I thought Sheree was making a valid point. Let's get to know each other as we work and live together.

I would much rather see them getting to know each other and working together or apart than to keep seeing someone snivling and crying over some stupid thing. I'm sick to death of seeing these contestants on all these shows crying about any little thing and if they are so damn home sick why did they leave home in the first place?

The reward challenge was the best part tonight. My first reaction was "Oh ~ that's just NOT right!!!" but then it got to the point where I was hysterical with laughter and none of them seemed too upset by it.

The editing is making it hard to see all of the individuals because they're focusing so much on a few.

During the mud challenge last night I was laughing my head off! I know they were working hard, but that looked like so much fun!

So they kept out-of-shape older model guy and kicked off buff wrestler woman. Makes sense to me--NOT.

Boy I'm glad Leslie likes the gay guy! There would be no end to the debate if she didn't.

Well, has the airline steward even announced he's gay to his teammates? I'm thinking he hasn't. When he does, I wonder if we'll get a reaction from Leslie.

She indicated she told him because he's clever. I think she made a bit mistake in telling him, but it's too soon to know. The way the other tribe is falling apart, Leslie's tribe may not got to Tribal Council for a long, long while.}

that will even be better! She makes alliance with him and is all ready established a friendship with him and then finds out he is gay.

I hope it won't matter.

I'm just waiting for this airline steward to eat them all alive, or get caught be everyone he says he has an alliance with. That will be a good episode.

After watching this episode, I really wish they would go back to the early years of Survivor when they let them wear clothes. I really don't want to go all season watching them in their bra's and falling down buffs...

I agree bonbonlover -- the lack of even a t-shirt and pair of shorts (not to mention a bathing suit) is just a bit too much. I would think they'd get tired of having to blurr stuff all the time. But actually, maybe they enjoy it.

I'm betting Leslie will treat Todd they same way she does now. With trust and respect. Him being homosexual will make no difference.

I dunno about that Kearie. I don't think Todd's outed himself yet, and I'm pretty sure Leslie doesn't know his sexual orientation. If she's that religious that she crumbles if she can't read her bible (shouldn't she be able to recite entire passages?), and if she can't participate in a Buddhist ceremony prior to the game starting, then the homosexuality is likely to be an issue. A BIG issue, too.

Sorry, I don't like her. Her response at the temple was just plain rude. I don't believe in god, yet when I go into other people's churches, I treat them and the church and their ceremonies with the utmost respect. This includes the many monasteries I visited while in Greece and the cathedrals in other parts of Europe.)


Bonbon, I've been fervently hoping that one of the reward challenges in the not too distant future will include some clothing or sewing items. So at least ONE tribe will be dressed. Some of the guys are cuties, but I'm not sure I wanna see 'em walk around all the time in their undies. And if they keep losing clothing during challenges, I think we'll miss most of the action (the blurs are distracting).

They don't seem to have a lot of bugs at this place. Is it because of the rain or the location? I imagine that they would all be more comfortable if they could just run around naked and get it over with, trying to keep yourself covered in those comps is just rediclous. But then what would we get to see?????

Todd is a morman also. So that would be something else Leslie would hold against him.

I agree with Costacat that her actions at the temple were rude and probably a sign of things to come.

I don't really think Leslie is there to win the money. I think she is using the show as a way to position and promote herself as a Christian role model. After the show she can increase her motivational speaking fee and write a book. She'll make more in the long run doing that and securing a spot for herself in that arena.
Poor Todd. I see a "love the sinner, hate the sin" speech in his future.

There's a mullet haired lady????

Yeah, I saw her once in that episode. Guess this means she is safe for a few weeks because they haven't shown or talked to her at all. Or maybe she just doesn't give good sound bites.

I, for one, did not see Leslie treat the temple with disrespect. She just chose not to participate in what she deemed a ceremony that goes against her belief system. How is that rude? Perhaps it was rude of the Survivor staff or the monks to expect everyone to participate? When someone comes into my home I try to make them comfortable, not necessarily expect them to conform to my ways. They have the freedom to pray at the dinner table or not. It should always be a choice, without the label Of "rude" put on it.

If Leslie truly has a strong faith and relationship with her Lord she will have no problem accepting Todd for the nice young man that he is. She would know that it is not for her to judge. I suspect she will be gracious and loving toward him with regard to who he is....not how he is.

I guess what surprises me is how quickly we tend to like or dislike someone because they do not happen to do what we expect they should do or perform or behave the way we think is acceptable. Why can't we just let people "be" who they are and comment on how they play and strategize not moralize?

I have what was stated above "a strong faith and relationship with my Lord" and I also have worked with many gay coworkers. Never have I treated any of my coworkers with disrespect. Neither can I deny that I believe it is sin. However, like Auntiemike stated it is not for me to judge, it between them and the Lord God.

I love all of my coworkers plain and simple!

Why is it so easy for you all to assume the worst of her? It seems as though people are creating bad things that she has not even done yet? LOL

Wow. I can't believe people are already condemning Leslie for how she MIGHT treat someone. My family are Christians, and we have no problem with Mormons. We respect their right to have their beliefs, and they respect ours. I've actually borrowed a couple of books on Mormon history from a friend of mine and found them quite interesting.

And how do you know Leslie doesn't already suspect Todd might be gay? We don't see every single interaction between these people.

I have to admit, I find this kind of insulting because I probably wouldn't have been able to take part in the "bowing" part of the ceremony either. That doesn't mean that I didn't think that the temple was beautiful and that it is interesting to learn about the beliefs of others. Just because I couldn't do something that is in DIRECT OPPOSITION to something I believe doesn't mean I have no respect for other people.

Is the HII (hope you figure it out)mounted on the cross beam of the entrance to the camp? I think it is! Hope she finds it soon.
