I also am totally off the James train. He isnt even attractive anymore. I agree with what Jeff writes in his blog. James has some ugly stuff going on inside or something because he is almost painful to watch. He can kiss fan fav goodbye forever.
Such a shame, James was such a gentle soul. What he said to Randy after throwing the bag on him was pitiful. Did they make you feel like a man, James? yah you beat a man half your size and half your age. Your mom must be so proud
I think Rob will get it this year anyway

Pamy, didn't you mean half his size and "twice" his age?

I never was on the James bandwagon in any of his seasons. I didn't "get" what everyone saw in him.

Not loving the Russell Love Train that much this season. I'm really into my Boston Rob. That's who I'm going to vote for when Fan Fave time comes around.

Have always liked Rob. He, Sean and Vecepia would crack me up in his first season.
I don't really care for anyone on that Heroes tribe. seems like some of them have used the fact that Jeff & Co. call them heroes to be holier than thou buttheads
Parvati amuses me. Every single person there should know how she plays, but she's still there. She has that charm thing going for her. She can charm both men and women, as was shown when she won with her all girls alliance, and yes, I think Jerri was jealous because she saw that Coach was being smitten. She plays the game in a way that I wouldn't, but hey, it's for a million dollars and she's playing in a way that works for her.
Sandra still cracks me up ... anybody but me, indeed, and she can come up with some zingers ...
Russell? Whatever ... didn't like him last season, don't like him this one either. His ego is a big turn off for me. I do think he's getting played by Parvati, though, and I will crack up laughing if she's the reason that he gets voted out.
The others? whatever ... I really wanted to see more Tyson snarkiness, but haven't yet. Hopefully it will be soon.

I'll go on record as saying it was a huge mistake that the villains voted Randy instead of Parv. I think this will come back to bite them all big time.

Can't believe Tom and Colby can come into the 16th season thinking the game is about honor. Yes Tom, totally naive. Survivor was never about honor. It's a strategic game that calls for outwitting, outsmarting and outplaying, not out-honoring. (insert eye roll here)

Hey Pamy... curious what you thought of the Russell / Parv snugglefest in the tent? I for one thought it seemed a bit more than strategic. In fact, as I saw Russell and Parv chuckling together while he caressed her shoulder I couldn't help wondering whether I'd ever even seen Russell laugh before and in fact, I do think that was the first time I ever saw him laugh. He must have really been enjoying himself!!

Naja... appreciated your comments about Parv calling Jerri a bitter old cougar. I was thinking the exact same thing when I watched it during the episode.

Have to say... is there a bigger poser anywhere than Coach? The guy is so over the top!

Interesting, when I was sort of half-watching the episode on TV last night, it seemed a bit lackluster to me. When I rewatched it on CBS.com this morning, it was much more exciting and the strategizing was interesting. Loved JT's move of telling Cerie that Candice doesn't trust her. Brilliant move as long as it doesn't come back to bite him.

Can't wait to see Coach crying next week ((-:

Just watched the tribal council voting and have to say, I too am perplexed by Coach's "number." What the heck is he talking about?

PS to my post above... don't know why I said 16 seasons. Yes, it's 20 seasons! I think I was not quite yet awake yet when I wrote 16.

My favorite part of Dalton Ross' EW blog this week:

* I'm sorry, but did Coach just quote Martin Luther King, Jr.? I'm sure that's exactly what the Reverend had in mind when he set off on the civil rights crusade over 50 years ago: that a Steven Seagal wannabe with a feather earring would be quoting him on a reality TV show when deciding whether to vote out either a flirty Perfect 10 model or a crotchety white guy who prides himself on having no friends. Congrats, Coach: You just transformed King's dream into a total freakin' nightmare.

My guess is that Coach is counting down (or up) the number of people voted off...he's probably got some Zen idea that if he keeps the number 20 in his head (there are 20 players this year, right?) and counts up to it, he'll make himself the winner. He does that magical thinking stuff.

I'm kind of intrigued with Jerri's play. She seems much more thoughtful this time out (despite her attraction to Coach -gag!!!).

That said, I'm on the Boston Rob bandwagon! Hope he wins it all - baby needs new shoes!

Oh crap, my theory about the number must be wrong - Randy is only the third voted off, right?

OK then it's some other magical thinking thing! LOL

I think they are all underestimating Russell, thinking he is just a little buffoon. They didn't see last season or they would have had more respect for him.
They are all just busy trying to outwit each other and are failing to see that Sandra and Russell are lying in the bushes waiting.
And so the mighty will fall.

Can someone explain to me why Russell would want to hurt his team by hiding the machete. I know he wants to stir things up, but wouldn't it make more sense to do things like that once the tribes merge?

Gidget Parvarti's teeth gnashing drives me crazy. I have actually looked in the mirror while doing it.

Naja you are so right! Oh to be in my late 20's again!

I agree, Mimi, why would he sabotage his own tribe? But remember, he did that from the beginning last season and it worked out for him.

Holly, I loved watching Russell last season. But this year, I have Boston Rob (who has always been one of my all-time favorite Survivors in 20 seasons) and Russell just isn't even in his league.

(... and yes... maybe I am a little fickle)

He's hoping to sabotage the team alliances - if team members start throwing accusations around as to who took what or hid what necessary items are needed, they start to "splinter." This will make it easier for Russell to 1) draw attention away from himself and 2) more clearly identify the "alliance" lines so he knows who to break up. What I found funny was that no one on the tribe seemed all that worried about it! Their lacks-a-daisical attitude about shelter evidently extends to the machete! LOL

I think if they'd shown the scene emphasizing the missing machete and everyone suspecting/blaming Randy, we would of all known who was going home this week. They edited it to look like it might be Parvati, when in fact, other than Jerri, no one really wanted to vote Parvati out before Randy.

I don't like Russell's chances this season, not because he won't play another brilliant game, but because Rob doesn't like him. Rob will push to get him out and the strength of his personality will probably win out.

James acting like he is will cost him a lot of money, I think.

I thought I'd like the "Heroes", but the "Villains" have way more personality, and are a lot more fun to watch.

Yeah, unless James has a little breakdown next episode and reveals some emotional story about why he's been acting like he has I don't think he has any chance of winning the public vote prize. He and JT had good odds to win that at the beginning I'd think, and even JT might have blown it too, although I suppose that depends if anyone else picks up their game and proves popular.

I'm going to give James the benefit of the doubt for one more week. I know I'm in the minority here on that one. The way he over-reacted when he beat an old man in the challenge, and then threw his pillow in his head and cursed at him was very over the top. His team was leading 7-0 -- there was no chance they were going to lose. So to be so aggressive was really uncalled for. But I will let it slide for one more week and see how he behaves next week because I can understand how excited they were to finally win.

I hope you're right Lycan about Rob getting Russel out. I'm going to be so mad if it is the reverse. I enjoy Russel, but no one can top Rob. Would like to see him every week!

Jeezed, I hate anything to do with Parv. I actually think Russ kinda crossed a line the way he is acting with her. The way they were laying together was like 2 lovers giggling and flirting. I would love to sit on the couch by his wife as she watches these eppys to see if she smacks him on the head.

James throwing that heavy mat at Randy was boorish, unsportsman like behavior. Randy was down and out in the mud, he didn't need that added indignity.

I think this will definitely knock James out as "fan favorite" so he'd better hang in for the end.. he sure lost Probst as a fan! I think his lack of talk in the past was interpreted as classy, but he's simply not actly or talking classy this season.

I don't like the way James has been acting, but I still like him better than a lot of other people such as Russell, Tyson and Coach. I also don't care much for Tom's hypocritical bit about "honor" after the way he manipulated Ian in his season.

Hey Lexie, no worries. I know you loved Russel last season and I was only pulling your leg. When I read your post about getting off the Russel 'love train', it just made me smile. Personally, I can't stand the guy and never could.

B-Rob has always been my favorite Survivor player too, so I'm not the least bit surprised that the Russel love has diminished when you stand him beside Rob. BTW, I think the little blowhard would be playing with fire if he dared to touch Rob's B-Hat.
