I wondered, too, how Ozzy felt when he realized that James and Parvati were no longer on his team and he had told them about the Hii he found. Tsk. I sure can see why anyone would want Chet gone. He just looks so sad and down and out of the loop. His directions from above were not very crisp and directed, either. They went from being way ahead to losing that challenge. But I sure think Cirie was smart to do what she did!!

that challenge was brutal. You would think they could come up with challenges that wont totally injure the players. It was so hard watching Chet, it almost felt like elder abuse

Chet has no business being there - so clearly out of any way of dealing with it. That being said, I felt so much for him when he was forming friends with the chickens because he felt they had that "pecking order" thing in commen. It was both funny & sad to watch.

I can't imagine how much I'd resent someone like Chet after a few weeks on the island. He does NOTHING at camp, he was always sick, and he sucked at challenges. Like really, I'd be pretty resentful and hostile toward him too. This is Survivor; you can't be that weak and unwilling to step up even though conditions are hard. Gosh, last episode he did nothing; at least Eliza tried to mask feeling sick and said she was ready for the challenge, and ready to fight. I hate Chet, and while it was hard to watch, I don't actually begrudge Joel for snapping and treating Chet the way he did in the challenge. When you're there to win the challenge (and game), and this guy just gives NOTHING to the challenge, you get desperate.

While Chet isn't fit, healthy or apparently useful around camp he's out played Joel in the social part of the game. He aligned with people that do his dirty work. It looks to me like it's Cieri's game to lose and perhaps going to be a female endgame. So far this season has kept my interest.

I'm glad they picked Joel too. I was really ready for Chet to go, but when Cirie explained it to Ozzy and Amanda, it made perfect sense. I know they are worried about the strength factor, but I don't think they've seen yet what Cirie can do in rough challenges. Clearly they still don't trust her though, but she hasn't given them much reason to. Still, if they lose again next week, I'd like to see Chet gone. He really doesn't contribute anything. I'm not happy about the changing of tribes either. I wish they had just waited until the merge, but then again, Joel might not be gone otherwise. Wonder if there will be tribal next week, looks like Jonathan might have to leave.

Angelicfairies2 I agree on Cirie! And what she isn't looking at is she is getting way to confident and that will be her down fall! In that game as soon as you <ass>ume your controlling things ! Your Gone <76>

I was under the impression that Amanda DID find the shark dead. She never said she killed it, she just said she found it in the net. Ozzy assumed that she killed it, and the editing seemed to want us to think she killed it, but I'm pretty sure she didn't. For all that some sharks can eat like garbage disposals, their systems are actually fairly delicate, and as noted by another poster, they have to keep moving to get the oxygen they need. It would not take long for a shark caught in a net to die on it's own, plus I didn't see any sign at all that the shark had been beaten lol.

I agree with Nerohv. Amanda never said she killed the shark, she said she found it in the net. Didn't she say something about going to clean out the net when she found it?

While I don't like to watch the fish getting speared, spearing is a quick way to die. Struggling in a net for a long time is a worse way to go. I wonder how often they check the nets.I couldn't figure out either why Ozzy gave Amanda credit for the shark.

DH was a bit perturbed that Chet is still around, and although he understood Cirie's logic, he's nervous that Cerie will target Ozzie next -- since he's not only a huge favorite, he's athletic, useful and a tremendous threat! If Cerie goes after Ozzie, well, let's just say she won't be on my "Favs" list anymore!

Chet just always looks so pittiful. Anybody else notice the lump on the middle of his spine - wander what that is. He isn't healthy enough to be out there. It was really sad to see big, burly Joel just dragging him & knocking him into everything in the path. Why did they decide to have these two work together? It was cruel & I'll bet it was Joel's idea so he could be the hero for dragging the "dead" weight - if so, it back fired on him didn't it.

I just saw another survivor preview on TV!! On the 1st preview shown last thursday they show Jason finding the fake HII and looking all excited. I was upset because I like Jason and I didn't want him to look foolish on TV. The new preview said something like "will Ozzy's plan for the fake II backfire on him?" then it showed Jason on a clip saying "Ozzy already found the HII." It sounded as if he was announcing it to EVERYONE! But I couldn't tell if he was saying just in front of his tribe or in front of both tribes. I'm happy that he realized it's fake before it's too late, but my question is this....how did he come to know that his was fake?? Did he find out from James and Parvati?? Would they betray Ozzy like that? The only scenario I can come up with is that Jason thinks he found the HII, goes back to his camp and tells everyone or just James or Parvati that he found it (though I don't know why he would do that). Then James and/or Parvati say "That's not possible because Ozzy has already found it". That has to be the way it goes down....but I'm not sure what the outcome of this situation will be. It might not look to good for Ozzy.....

Yes, Joel ended up NOT voting out Chet, but that was because he was convinced by Cathy not to. She convinced him that he could take out Chet whenever he wanted to. It was the very fact that he had target the weak group that made her realize she had to do this. He made no bones about the fact that he wanted Chet out, followed by the rest of the "weak" ones. I just think he might have been a little more subtle about it. Didn't he understand that although they might be weaker than he physically, that they wanted to be there just as much as he did and would fight to stay in the game. All he did by being so open about it was target hinmself. Cathy and Cirie certainly had no incentive to go along with his plans, knowing they were on his list. I find it incrediable that these people just have to tell that they have the idol. Lord, it it was me, I would tell NO ONE. Especially the favorites that have been through this before. What I can't understand about it is what good does it do to let them know you have it? If one of them is in danger of going, they are going to want you to use it for them. That's nuts! I wouldn't tell anyone. When they go to the challenges, do they take all their personal stuff with them every time? Did Ozzy have the idol in his bag? He hid it at the camp and I just wondered if he took it with him to the challenge or if the staff had to retrieve it for him? Wasn't he one who went to a new camp.

I think James would just blurt out that Ozzy had the idol, if Jason said that in front of him. He seems to speak first and think later at times. If it's Pavarti spilling the beans she'd be more sneaky about it but James would just say it to prove Jason is wrong. I thought Ozzy hid that idol and didn't have it with him at the tribe-swap. He was lucky he went back to the same beach!

I don't think James would just blurt out that Ozzy has the idol for no reason at all. (Of course, I could be wrong.) Jason looks smart enough to figure out that Ozzy was the last one to go to Exile Island if he has any hint that the thing Ozzy left looks like a fake. I like Ozzy, but so not smart of him to tell so many people he had the Idol so early in the game. Hahaha, James got such a huge kick out of seeing Jamie use her non-idol, he would probably keep mum about it just to watch it happen again.

It is interesting to see that even the favorites will repeat the mistakes of the past: blabbering about finding the idol way too early in the game. Also, I found it quite amusing and ironic that Joel was so angry about being voted out over a weak player like Chet after he had done this two previous times to his team members. Somehow I guess when Joel votes out a strong member over Chet it is brilliant strategy, but when people vote out Joel over chet it is just an insult? These people crack me up.

Wasn't it Tracy and Cerie who plotted Chet's salvation (not Kathy)? I'm still not completley clear on all of the fans, but I think Kathy is on the team w/James, not w/Ozzy.

I don't understand it either. I was certain that Ozzy would keep it to himself...especially when they showed him admitting to the camera that he will "probably not tell anyone"....2 seconds later "Hey James! I found the HII!" It was just funny how they edited the show. I was like "What?!??" I don't really see how it benefits him to tell anyone (at least right away). I guess we will see how it pans out. I like to think that, if it was me, I would have kept it a secret too....but who knows!

That's WHY YauMan and Earl (my absolute fav pair of Survivors ever!!!) were so powerful in their teamwork and use of the HII(2). They BOTH kept their mouths shut. They played that game like an Ultra-Chessmatch, kept everyone guessing and in the dark. And, oh my, did that ever work!

Sorry, wish I could help you out. But I've already taped over those episodes. Maybe at CBS? Personally, I haven't been able to make their videos upload for me, but maybe someone else knows the ropes. Good luck!

Cox Cable - no "on demand" for broadcast (just HBO). Yeah, I know the episodes are at the website, but konashark can't get streaming video in Afghanistan. And I don't know how to get something from CBS saved to my computer - not sure if they will still have those episodes online in September (but we can hope).

I have no idea if this works w/CBS's site, but it does w/youtube. First, open the video and get the url. Then, download the link using http://keepvid.com/. When you download file, be sure to add .flv to the file name. Next, go to zamzar.com. Upload the flv file, choose 'convert' to your choice of files types (we use AVI for Windows Media Player), give them an e-mail account and hit "convert." It won't work w/files over 100 mg unless you buy an account, and it takes about 24 hours, but it works beautifully. Like I said, I'm not sure this will work w/CBS's site, but it's worth a shot.

Here's a couple of interesting interviews: Tracy - explains why she felt the Favs were throwing the immunity comps & about Eric the flipper. http://tinyurl.com/2k99cr Kathy - explains how the 2nd cave was found. How Jonathan turned into a really sweet and helpful guy before he had to leave. Plus, she was looking for the HII, which Ozzie then found. http://tinyurl.com/255ybn
