I just wish Eric would have manned-up and voted out PG, along with Aaron and James. That would have solidified him with Aaron and James, and if there is an eventual merge, hopefully that would have been a gesture that kept him in good with the OTHER tribe (Aaron and James could save him by returning the favor).

<100> Wow. It is insane that these two girls would throw challenges so early on! Absolutely crazy. Can't wait for next week.

I agree when they were laughing at the fact they threw the challenge! I hope next week somehow James gets immunity and one of them gets voted out! If they loose again.

I really felt for James and Aaron tonight. What a raw deal for them to walk into. I always wonder what the producers are trying to help orchestrate behind the scenes when they do this small switching up of the tribes like this. (Maybe I'm just feeling cynical after this past season of BB.) It was so apparent that those two ladies were throwing the challenge. I don't blame James at all for being upset. I would like to see both of them out before James. And I agree with you about Eric tonight, Eeyore. He's okay to look at, but certainly doesn't seem to have much of a mind of his own.

The shot of Courtney sitting with her team, showing her backbone protruding thhrough her skin was downright scary. This girl is way too thin even for a Survivor participant who hasn't had much to eat. I know this has been discussed before but she looks skinnier and weaker every week.

What makes Jamie and PG think that Sherea would want to vote with them? Frosti wasn't too happy with that bunch, either. Serve them right if, at the merge, (if they last that long), they find out they're alone. That smug grin on Jamie's fact at TC made me want to throw something at the TV. Eric would have been better off bonding with James and Aaron. He wasn't thinking ahead, either.

OMG, I am watching the West Coast feed now, and I forgot to comment on how STOOPID the small tribe acted, by thinking they were just going to GET two players, yet not have to give players back. This shows where all the intelligence is, with regards to the tribes. PS - the shot where Sherea is sitting in the pink dress on the right of the screen, talking to the camera, makes her look like she has a cross-eye problem. I don't think her eyes follow each other. Oh and I am sad Aaron is gone because he was the HOTTEST to me. Like an Abercrombie ad or something.

Stupid move by the PG and Jaime. Eric should've jumped ship right then.

I agree with you all. I totally dislike PG and Jaime...stupid game play. This is the point where you try to win challenges. DUMB! Oh well, these are the people that couldn't figure out that they were going to lose two of their players. Brilliant.

That was such a stupid move! The only way it's going to work is if there is only one more elimination before the merge, the HIIs don't come into play and if neither Frosti nor Sherea defect. Sherea didn't seem too enamoured with her old tribe and Frosti is intelligent to work the new tribe - plus they will like his personality and talents over someone like John-Robert. Stupid. And yes, Eeeyore! Hard to believe they really thought the twist would be one-sided!

I couldn't believe they thought the twist was one sided too. I was like, OMG how ignorant can you be and then they proved themselves how ignorant! I'm glad I am not the only one upset over PG's and Jamie's stupid play. Aaron and James were a class act, while the two girls acted classless. The only way their plan would work would be a guarantee game play from their other members, but there was no guarantee and with Survivor there is never a guarantee. The only way to boot James and Aaron's butt out is to get rid of the stronger players to give yourself a chance in Individual challenges. But that was their LAST reason for doing what they did. GEEZ.

With Jaime and PG on the team there's not much room for intelligence. LOL

DH and I kept waiting and waiting for Jeff to say at Tribal -- "Oh, and by the way -- you can't vote out one of the two new guys this week." That would have been 1)hysterically funny and 2)justice personified. As it was, I was relieved James stayed, but thoroughly PO'ed at the two girls, Erik's lack of a spine, and Aaron's ouster. GRRRRRRRR!

Did anybody notice that several of the women have new swimsuits? Where did those come from? Maybe they got them for tonight's swimming challenge? Jaime had one, Courtney, and Amanda for sure. Not sure if anybody else had one. Oh, maybe Aaron. Tonight he was in surfer shorts, and I think he arrived in a suit.

They all had new swimsuits at the challenge, men too. Maybe the producers wanted to avoid having to blur out parts again! I'd have loved it if Jeff was ready with Teach's twist!

I don't so much have a problem with PG and Jamie's plan as I do with their inability to execute it without acting like a bunch of teenagers. I just couldn't believe how they giggled about it during, after and even at tribal council.

I agree. I thought it was quite an interesting plan strategically and it was great to see someone thinking out there and trying to play strategically. If people had used the same technique in some of the prior seasons where there were switches it would have probably got them farther in the game. So that was okay. Unfair to Aaron and James (due to the bad break they got from Survivor), but okay from a player standpoint. What I didn't like was how they handled it with all of the smugness and laughing. That was completely unnecessary and stupid on their part.

The thing that struck me was how they are so sure that the members of each tribe will stick with their old tribe after the merge. While at the same time, one of the reasons they gave for voting out Dave was not being able to trust him after he had spent time at the other tribe. But they can trust Frosti and Sherea? Strange they can't see the inconsistancy in their thinking. Haven't these people ever watched the show? The loyalty to the tribe is only skin deep. Any one of them will jump ship at the drop of a hat if it gets them futher in the game. And that is really the way it should be. I do not question their move on moral or ethical grounds. There are basically none in this game. I question it on stategical and intelligence grounds. I think it was a stupid move. And we have seen tribes throw comps before to get rid of players and it usually ends up biting them in the rear later. I am not sure why they kept James unless it is because they think he will do the work around the camp like he has done since he came over. And they may think he is less likely to bond with Eric than Aaron was. And they have to keep Eric with them for their plan to work. These two girls are just not thinking. There are two many what ifs in this game. For example: What if there is another twist before the merge? What if there is no merge? What if the merge comes before ten? What if the merge comes after ten? What if one of the guys had had the immunity idol? What if James finds the immunity idol? What if Eric had not remained loyal? What if Frosti or Sherea do not remain loyal. It would only take one for their play to fail. What if the other team would not have thought like they did and voted off Jon Robert and Courtney instead of Frosti and Sherea? What if someone is injured or becomes ill like has happened in the last two seasons and has to leave early? Any of these things could throw their whole plan off, and it is not unlikely that at least one of them could occur. If their plan works, they will look like geniuses, but I still think it was a bad move. Kind of like going for it on fourth and 1 when you are on your own 20 early in the first quarter, when you are down by one touchdown. You go with the odds, and the odds said they should have punted. And I agree with their behavior. It was silly and childish. They were voting a person off and ruining their dreams. The least they could have done was be serious and not just giggle in their faces. As Dani would say, "That was just RUDDEE!"

I would love for someone on the red tribe to find the hidden idol before the reward challenge, see what they've done on the yellow tribe and during the reward challenge somehow let James know where to look. Then when Tribal council comes, he has the idol and they have to eat one of their own ...

I agree, Jimmer. Throwing immunity after a swap has been a good move ever since the very first swap in Africa (S3). Boran threw the challenge to get rid of Silas and it worked out well for them -- they were able to dominate the votes after the merge. In Vanuatu (S9), Bubba tried to signal his former tribe to throw immunity after the swap but they didn't figure it out and the other tribe (the women) took control after the merge. In a way, I'm even a little happy that PG and Jaime seemed to tick Jeff off and I wouldn't want the producers to change the game to punish them. I've always thought the swap twist was unfair and it's the producers' fault if they forgot about Boran or never anticipated a weak or unlikeable tribe taking advantage of the swap this way. I think there's a good chance future seasons won't have these straight-up swaps again.

The swap twist is boring and overused now. Just another pagong. <yawn>
