I hate the Burger King man. He is ugly. The square pants ad was tasteless.

When JT found the idol hadn't Taj put it into a bag at camp, and JT found it when he was looking for something to bring back the fish in? Could I have dreamed all that?

I dont feel too bad about Tyson's win going to waste since they were up there less than an hour. If it was one of those 5 hr epic endurance contests then I would feel bad.

I am loving all the characters they have this season.

Tyson cracks me up! 'he felt my warm breath on the small of his back' LMAO

Tyson cracks me up too, and I think part of his act is for the cameras, whereas I think Coach is not hamming it up or playing it up at all for the cameras. I think he's just like that all the time.

LOL, Pamy, I thought that was funny too, especially since my husband walked into the room right when he was saying that and didn't want to hear it.
I hate the Burger King man too and all of their commercials, that goes for the Carl's jr commercials too.

ITA... Tyson cracks me up. I was dying laughing when he was talking about his warm breath on the small of his back. I also agree that Coach is not acting for the cameras.

oh yeah me too! That's the difference in being a tool and not being one. Tyson likes to act like one but it's an act and totally funny. Coach really believes what he says, which is also funny but in a tooly way LOL

Has anybody seen King Julien, the delusional lemur on Penguins of Madagascar? He had a "Coach" quote on the episode I just saw. One of the animals was trying to tell him something and he said,

"That is not interesting to me because that is not ABOUT me. See how that works?"

Of course, it's much funnier in King Julien's accent, but it reminded me a lot of Coach lolol.

In Tocantins, we were several hours by car and nearly two hours by helicopter from the nearest hospital. They looked at his leg and decided the infection was too risky. He was evacuated and taken to hospital and he is doing fine.

Glad to hear he is doing fine... but part of me hopes that he needed some sort of medical help more than an evaluation. It would be a shame had he been taken out of the game, evaluated and "lucky you, it's not as bad as we had thought"

Bon Bon, here ya go

Joe: We went straight to the hospital. It was like an hour trip and there they put me in a room and I guess we did surgery a couple hours after or the next day, I can’t remember. I stayed there a couple days and went back to Ponderosa.

RNO: What did they do?

Joe: They’re calling it a huge staph infection. They put me under and lanced it and cut it open and cleaned everything out – four or five stitches, no big deal.

According to the interview with Joe, it was a 'heavy staph infection', and it did require surgery and an additional 4-5 days in the hospital on antibiotics.

They had already given him four shots while on the island (in the game) but it had not helped sufficiently), so that's why they evacuated him.

Thanks Karuuna. It's good to know they tried to treat while on the island... For some reason they made it look like Jeff was just seeing the knee for the 1st time when they went to the challenge... (I guess if the injections had cleared things up, TPTB didn't want to show any intervention)

I think the challenges are every couple days so there is a chance that JP hadn't seen it progressively getting worse. I think I read that they dont tell JP things that happen at camp.

I seem to recall the same thing Pamy, about Jeff wanting to not be told things so he stays "real".

I'm glad Joe is okay. With the way bacteria is becoming resistant to antibiotics, even the smallest infection is nothing to mess around with.

I hated this episode. I couldn't keep track of who was plotting with whom and I had a real hard time understanding a lot of the dialogue that was not captioned. All that plotting and then no tribal. It could have been editted much differently to show us Joe leaving earlier and the aftermath of the premature tribal plotting. As it was, I felt as let down as Tyson likely did with his impotent immunity.

LOL at your last sentence!! Great way to put it!

I hear ya on understanding uncapped dialog. For some reason it seems the background music on some programs is so much louder than the dialog that it is hard to hear. 90210 is really bad at doing it. I am going to start watching that show with the cc on.

I don't usually have a problem with television shows. I have some small hearing loss but it is usually a problem for me in live conversation, especially groups. Or sometimes the phone. I automatically put on the captioning when watching a DVD. I don't know why but there is a huge difference to me when I listen to DVDs versus television.

Due to massive boredom I rewatched Thursday night's tape, and, just as I posted earlier, JT DID lie. His words were "I don't know if Taj has the immunity idol or not." Since he knows that Stephen has it, he know that Taj DOES NOT. I do not have a problem with lying to the oppsition - just wanted to clarify that it did happen.

or you can take it to mean he doesnt know if she has it in her possession right now and in that case he didnt lie. Giving him some wiggle room! LOL

With Joe being taken out, I actually find this to be a funny NEW unintended twist. Given all the plotting last week with no tribal council, these folks are going to be blowing a gasket and unable to keep their mouths shut.

It's probably going to change the game bigtime, instead of the predictable voting out of the smaller tribe or weaker players!

It must be just me.... but when watching the previews of this show before the season started, Jeff and one of the camera men stated that this is the "best cast ever". I am still waiting to see this great cast. I fell this is the most boring survivor I have ever watched, and I have seen every season many, many times with my tapes. I just I'm just not getting this season at all. To me there isn't one endearing contestant in the bunch. I do like Sierra the best, but must admit she does seem very boring. Hope things improve from my perspective.

Tyson's diaries are brilliant.

JT's accent, athleticism, competitiveness, and willingness to play two sides is kinda compelling.

Coach's toolness is funny to watch on many levels.

I'm liking this season, personally. But I did not like an episode without TC. That was a huge letdown. The final push to the end better ramp everything up.

I think some things are out of the producers' control. They are committed for a certain number of episodes, and an injury that takes out a contestant screws up the timing of the show. With that being said, I really respect that they hold the welfare of the players above the show's needs.

Although I was sad to see Joe go through no fault of his own, I think I am going to love the maneuvering that will go on before the next TC! Look for snakes aplenty slithering on your TV screens!

"Snakes aplenty" indeed.

I remember "The Mole" letting a player leave by taking a bribe, but then also eliminating a player based on votes that same night. Too bad Survivor couldn't do something similar. However, there are now nine players left, and no one on the jury, so is this a return to a final "2" rather than 3?

Glad to hear that Joe is doing okay. Was sad to see him have to leave though. He was my player in the pool at work. Oh well! :-(

Actually, let me amend. "The Mole" didn't eliminate based on votes, they eliminated based on a quiz.
