Thank You!! Thank You!! Thank You!! for the castaway popup!. It really helps me keep the players' names straight. Now I can have that floating around as I read all the comments and spoilers and know who I am reading about. And now I will be able to refer to them by name. Gosh I wish that in Real Life everyone walked around with their name in a bubble overhead. Thanks Draheid for doing this, and Sea for checking on it

Why all the Randy hate? I don't have Randy hate, but I gotta wonder why anyone would want to hire someone who hates weddings to photograph their wedding. I think Randy needs to change professions.

I don't think Randy said he hates weddings. He said he didn't believe in marriage. But maybe I missed something.

LOL bonbon, ITA! Our wedding photographer sat with my out of town friends and ate his way through our wedding. We were lucky he managed to find some time from stuffing his face to take a few pix. Oy!

Okay, this old lady confesses that she bounced up and down on her couch and yelled "Get rid of that old gal!" I was also glad to see Michelle go - not a fan of whining! Hard to please, aren't I? Gillian was too cheer-leaderish and Michelle was a moaner!

I liked the budding showmance with Michelle and whatsisname. Oh well. I also liked Gillian, but she was relatively useless and should have been dumped first.

"Is it me or does GC remind anyone else of the guy who won the grooming show on Animal Planet this year?" Roxip, I knew he reminded me of someone! Thanks! In life, I doubt I would be friends with Randy but I like how he is playing the game right now...his best strategy IS to keep his mouth shut just like he says. I lol at the crush Charlie has on Marcus ! funny to watch! I loved reading Jeff's blog and seeing the video after. I loved seeing the difference in the HD. It looked great before on our hdtv, but it looks even better now with them shooting in hd, especially those wide scenic scenes, just beautiful! I love being able to see these places and the beauty in nature that I know I'll never get to see in person. Gillian should have played a different game. I guess that is all she had though. If I were her, I would have just tried my hardest in the physical challenges, worked around camp and kept my mouth shut trying to fly under the radar. I assume she has seen most of the seasons since she is a huge fan of the show and has applied every season. But she should have known better. Trying to boost everyone's spirits that way is not an asset to your tribe, a positive attitude is not going to be the only thing that keeps you in the game. And to boss people around, not going to get you far, especially if you are a 60 year old woman. Not saying anything against her personally but that stuff doesn't work on survivor. To her credit though, she didn't take anything the other survivors said against her personally and that was nice to see.

The ironic thing is Gillian got booted for being annoying and not the reason her tribe lost two challenges. She had nothing to do with them losing the two IC.

GC is a supervisor so I am surprised at how he takes offense to the way people say things to him. He doesn't exhibit supervisor behavior, but I know we only see a glimpse into all the things that went on due to editing. as a supervisor I would have expected him to take on a leadership role, I guess he is just too afraid of being blamed for things but that's what a leader does, takes the blame and protects his staff. I guess I am just surprised that he is fighting the leadership role but Randy did make a good point about not wanting to lead that group! LOL I think what GC is missing is that as Leader he should be able to persuade who gets voted off and therefore keep himself safe.

I think Gillian probably had a LOT to offer w/her Africa experience, but she really went about it all the wrong way. And while GC may be a supervisor, he's still a young kid. He may not be a "good" supervisor yet, as he still needs to learn how to convince others to follow rather than being "bossy" once you're put in the leader role.

Another thing Gillian should have done is to cut and color her hair just days before leaving for the show. I'm prematurely gray, and when I decided not to color it, I looked much older. When I colored it the difference in the way I looked was amazing, but the difference in the way I was treated was very noticeable. It's not fair, and it's not nice, but a significant age difference can really make you a target. They can justify voting her out very easily. They were doing the old girl a favor. She was over her head and just couldn't handle the tough conditions. Blah blah blah. In this game you need to give yourself every edge possible. Nobody likes a know-it-all or a cheerleader. NOBODY wants to have their mom with them out in the middle of nowhere for over a month either. Early in this game you need to shut up, listen up, and carry more than your own weight if possible. You need to not complain or act like anything annoys you or bothers you at all. If you get a bruise, you better not flinch or complain about it. It helps if you're charming, but if you're not, just don't be abrasive. That's where I'm out. I'm an abrasive know-it-all mom! LOL! Oh yeah, Gillian drove me nuts. I'm glad I don't have to hear her and cringe so much.

Go to www.pinkisthenewblog.com Sep 27th blog. You can clink on a link and CLEARLY see what Marcus is packin'. Looks like something peaked out of his underroo's during the challenge. Confusing how they played the storyline, but, who's team does he bat for?

Marcus said he is straight but I got the impression he has at least thought of batting for the other team

I never thought Marcus was gay for a second. I think he is a nice guy. Some guys would be so freaked out and homophobic if a they knew a gay guy was attracted to them. That video is hilarious!! Oh yes Pamy, I wondered why there was so much burring. Maybe they don't even want you to see any "outlines."

I don't understand why they don't always let them have proper clothes to wear so they don't have to keep blurring everything. Some seasons they are allowed to be in shorts and swimsuits, others they are reduced to their underwear. I don't see much difference in game play, but it's nice not to be distracted by all the blurs.

I miss the 1st few seasons where the Survivors were allowed to bring 1 "luxury" item. Whether that was backgammon (Tina from "Survivor Australia") or a ukulele (Sonja from season one), or Colby's Texas flag, or the one Ioved was Ethan's hacky sac... remember him showing the kids in the local village how to play hackysac? Those were fun. And it said a lot about the individual what they choose to bring... Now they all wear necklaces, belts, etc...

That was a hilarious video. I can't believe CBS didn't catch it either.
