I think Cirie volunteered for Exile Island because she never got to go there and search for the idol when it was her season. Those two worked well together, but it didn't seem like they'd worked out what would happen if the TWO of them found the ONE idol! I don't think they did find it, or they'd have shown it. I think there must be quite a few more clues, otherwise it would be too easy.

I think Joel didn't vote for Mikey because he thought the rest of the team wouldn't go for it, because there's always the feeling that you need to keep the strong players at first. Getting rid of Mary hurt Mikey and was a safe bet with the rest of the team. I think it's made Joel a target though, Mikey didn't seem like he was stupid, he'll work out what happened and his ego is as big as Joel's, so he'll try and deal with it.

It didn't seem like Chet was comfortable in the water at all - did he volunteer for the swimming? Why?!?

Yep Kitt. That's what she said. It just shows you how far she has come. She went from being afraid of leaves several years ago to feeling confident enough to want to experience Exile Island. Love Her!

I used to not like Cirie at all, but I'm starting to like her much better this time around. I'm also finding Jonathan less annoying than last time. I still can't stand Parvati, though. I might like her better if she wasn't so flirty/giggly/jiggly all the time.

"Why were the 3 kicked out?"

I think they were feeling 'put out' because ALL the young guys kept yelling at them to do some work, while they were standing around flapping gums. Then, when the one guy was working to clear out the small cave told them they weren't sleeping there (think he had already figured there wasn't likely to be shelter before nightfall & he didn't wish to spend another night under the elements). Then they felt Unwelcome and got to work building their own 3-some shelter.

The one lady (one of the three I believe):

Tracy - Age: 43 - "Occupation: Commercial and Residential Builder"
most likely had the knowhow to get busy building/repairing the tribal community shelter. Instead they worked on their own private little niche. Not smart gameplay IMO.

"but it didn't seem like they'd worked out what would happen if the TWO of them found the ONE idol!"

My Sister's take on that was maybe the first one to spot & snatch the idol would be the one to keep it. Of course, there might be some negotiating after the snatch, but I don't think that would happen. I would be stuffing that idol under my bra so fast the cameras & the other lady wouldn't see it. Would be neat if Cirie found it and surprises us later!

My Sister and I BOTH agree that this looks like another GREAT Survivor series. Unlike most AllStars in the past.

In the "Mary's Secret Scene" found on CBS website, there is a secret alliance between Alexis and Natalie, so I guess Joel is part of that. Pretty smart for the Incredible Hulk.

ok, the thought did slowly wander through my brain that maybe it was so Joel could say he didn't vote for her.

I really liked Cirie the first time around. I liked the way even though she was totally out of her element, and admitted it, she still threw herself whole heartedly into the challenges and other things. And her confessionals were always so entertaining.

I kind of got the impression they were looking for the idol for Cirie since Kathy already had one, even though hers was only good the one time around. I'm so naive lol

I love the way Joel says Mikey is orchestrating everything and needs to be stopped, then he immediately runs around and orchestrates everything. Doesn't he think someone might decide that He needs to be stopped? I find him so very unattractive too.

I don't think I have ever heard so convoluted a voting plan in all my years of watching survivor. I am amazed that anyone was able to keep Mikey's strategy straight. I lost him after girls vote so and so and boys vote so and so, then if blah blah blah wow lol

Parvati is amazing. she comes in saying "I'm not going to just flirt my way through this time" then immediately latches onto James. again.. wow

You would think the fans would have a little more savvy than they seem to. I know it's different actually being there, but come on, you know you have to stick together as a team. They totally need to communicate better.

ok, I think I'm done lol

I DON'T like Joel AT ALL. First episode I like to quickly pick my favorites and I also pick who I dislike right off the bat. And I DISLIKED Joel right away. I agree with you Cricket, about Joel coming off sharp-tongued with the other people. He is very rude and offensive when he talks to his tribemates. Gosh....he is just so gruff. Especially during the competition when he was yelling at Chet to get out of the water AND when he was talking to Kathy when she came back from exile island. He offered her no explanation he just said "Vote for Mary" and told her not to question it. The guy just rubs me the wrong way!! <25>

Oh...and he acted like "Who does Mikey think he is, trying to control the tribe". AND THEN HE BECOMES THE CONTROLLING ONE, basically taking Mikey's place!!!! LOL ok I just wrote this and then I noticed that you had the same thing Whisp!!

I love the way Joel says Mikey is orchestrating everything and needs to be stopped, then he immediately runs around and orchestrates everything. Doesn't he think someone might decide that He needs to be stopped? I find him so very unattractive too.

AMEN!!!

I don't think I have ever heard so convoluted a voting plan in all my years of watching survivor. I am amazed that anyone was able to keep Mikey's strategy straight. I lost him after girls vote so and so and boys vote so and so, then if blah blah blah wow lol

Actually I thought what Mikey was saying made perfect sense. I was wondering why everyone was getting confused?? He may not be as good at speaking "numbers strategy" as Yul but what he was saying was smart. He knew that if they ALL voted for one of the older tribe members and they so happened to have the II, then whoever the three older one's picked out of "the young group" would go home. So if they all voted for Chet and the three older people voted for Jason, Jason would go home if Chet was given the II. Mikey wanted to prevent this by having half of "the young group's" votes going to Tracy. Then if Chet was saved, Tracy would be the next to go before Jason because she would have more votes against her.

WHAT's with the Fans '3 Old-timers'? They were yammering about (while STANDING AROUND!) needing to build shelter, while the guys are wasting away 1/2 of the flint TRYING to get fire.

Oh No! Oldsters had to WAIT for the machete, just have to flap their gums & hang around while they wait for a machete. So what was to stop them from collecting some palm fronds or try to work with the bamboo to get even started repairing the existing Community Hut? Collect some fire wood? SOMETHING, anything.


LOL Well said Biscottiii!!! I was so annoyed by their whining!!

During the early part of the game, I have no respect for a tribe when they vote out a stronger member who is more beneficial to the "overall" tribe, just for for strategy. They have plenty of time to make the strategic moves before the merge. The important thing now is to WIN the challenges so I think it was a BIG mistake not to get rid of Chet. It just irritates me that they would allow Joel's troublemaking to effect their voting. They need to make smart decisions for the tribe's well-being right now. I think voting out Mary was stupid...stupid...stupid. I think if they lose again, they will think twice before they disregard the "older/weaker" members of their tribe.

True, I agree with everything you posted. I thought Mikey thinking the vote through was smart. Too bad it back fired on him and the others thought it was too controlling.

At least Joel recognizes what he's doing and that it may be risky.

I expected better game play from the favorites.
