I am not convinced that Carl was all that strong physically. He is 46, my husband is 55 and is in much better shape. Looks younger too.

The younger ones may be stronger than they appear. With youth comes stamina and agility. We shall see.

<Fruit, Farrah looked that way on Regis and Kelly a few weeks ago>

Tonights show was alot better than the past two weeks has been. Boran smoked them in the IC. There SOS was great. Sambura put forth little effort and it showed. :)

I agree Kady about Samburu and the IC- Frank even said outright that he wasn't gonna knock himself out on it. He seemed as if he wanted the team to lose. Sick of waiting for the showdown I guess.
A team that divided can not go far. I predict good things for Boran:)

The Sambura dynamic may change. If Lindsey goes they are back to equal numbers. It will be interesting to watch.

Good point Fruitbat- I hate to wish a hospital stay on anyone - but if that rumor turns out to be true- it wouldn't hurt my feelings none

Well, that may mean that Linda stays, Judy. I am rooting for it to be rumor so Linda will be outnumbered.

Well, slap me naked and call me Wanda. I got one right. I oughta get about 0.5 points this week. Damnabbit. Who'd a thunk Carl would get the boot. I think it was pretty poor in the strategy department and Lindsey gets all over my nerves. If the younger folks of that tribe think they're gonna make it without the brains/brawn of the others, here's a newsflash. Ya can't drink a bead necklace.

Go Boran. I'm liking them more now. Blow my dress up for thinking they were sunk. Loved the feather/thong/white undies, etc. Yeeehaw.

Dumb, Dumber, and Dumbest, and just plain moron, that's all I have to say about generation x of Sambura. I am so happy that Boran won both challenges, They are my favorite people, I even laughed at old rednecks feather in his butt. That was a lot more than I needed to see. Generation x is going to start whining and fighting with each other when the older ones are not there to do all the work for them.

I am trying to figure out when the merge is, he said 100 gal of water , enough for each of the 6 to have 1 gal a day until merge, that is 16 days or 5 shows. There are 13 people left and with five gone that makes 8 for the merge. Wasn't it 5-5 last time. Someone help me out. I am confused.

I swear,I don't like anyone on Samburu,the old ones are smug and boring,the young ones are smug and immature!!!! I didn't expect Carl to go though,but after listening to him go on and on about gen X for an hour,see ya!
Boran is gonna get the definite upper hand,if Samburu doesn't pull together(which by the looks of the previews they don't). They are more fun anyway,stripping for Immunity!!!LOL

ok folks, is it too late to get in the pool? plz tell how?? also i was sorry that carl left, if lindsey is smart she may want to try to align herself with the "older/wiser" group, at least then she is guaranteed to have water and food because if she sticks with the others who just lay around and do nothing, she is really going to suffer. hey maybe that's why she was possibly in the hospital...they voted off all of the "older/wiser" group and no one left would get water or food.

Squaredsc-I think you need to email Grooch (do you know her?) to get the pass word. Do a search if you can't find her listed anywhere & you can get the email address.

The Old Folks of Sambura really screwed up. They deserve to lose one of them. They made an obvious open alliance, tried to recruit one of the younger members to take out the other three. Continually berated and sneered at the younger people. They were Out-Witted

I agree with Battlestarx. The older people really did themselves and everyone in their tribe in. They started with the scheming too early on, and they alienated the younger people by doing so. I think the fact that Frank seems to utterly lack social skills hurt them, and Linda and Carl weren't very good at hiding their disgust, either. At first I was rooting for the "old folks", but after hearing some of their comments (Carl's broad generalizations about Generation X, Linda's lack of sympathy behind Lindsey's back), I'm glad they lost control of the alliance. I'm not really a fan of the younger ones (well, except maybe for Silas, but that's pretty much just for eye candy appeal ), but I guess I like them better than the older ones, except maybe for Teresa.

I think Samburu's done for. It doesn't matter how many people they have when they merge with Boran - there's just such big fractions in their tribe that *someone* will turn and join with Boran. It'll probably be whatever of the old folks are left, unless there's a split in the Gen X group. But in any case - Boran will take advantage of that, and someone from that tribe will probably win the whole thing. At this point, I'm happy about that, especially if it ends up being Ethan or Lex. :)

Re the immunity challenge tonight...did anyone else think it was odd that mama kim brought paints as her luxury item? It seemed just a tad too convenient to me. Or I may just be a hopeless conspiracy theorist.

Fruitbat, it looks like Farrah had a face lift (in fact, I can say I'm 99% sure of it). That's the puffiness--it looks like either a bad job or the swelling hasnt yet gone down, but if that were the case, why go out in public?!

I agree that the oldsters on Samburu started scheming too early and did themselves in. I don't care for any of the GenXers (especially when they agreed to make breakfast and then ate it all) but they do have the upper hand now. If I were the oldsters I would go on strike during the Luxury challenges so they get nothing. Although that could be cutting off there own nose to spite there face if they win the immunity challenge. Should be interesting. I really like the Boran team better! Especially Lex (of course).

Samburu, though divided, could have more at the merge and wipe Boran out. Way too early to tell.

Most of us were bummed, last time, watching Ogakor pick off our favorites.


<Farrah has had cheek implants. She cannot smile as broadly as before and her sunken cheeks are gone. Hideous effect and she was acting oddly too.>

I thought Farrah looked spaced out. She wasn't clear on her answers and didn't seem to be totally "with it".

Ok, I am bummed that I would be considered "old", in that group. (Anyone over 35)

Battlestarx, Muse, Resortgirl I agree...
Samburu--who looked so strong in the beginning--shot themselves in the foot when the oldies lined up so strongly (and obviously-wtg Frank) against the youngies. Not only did they overplay their hands and WAY too early, they've successfully written their own names on the wall now. What is with Linda? I was prepared to like her at first, but her whole "goddess mother africa thing" is starting to work my last nerve.(lol Fruitbat!)
Why blame the youngies?
For playing the game and staying alive? Were they supposed to roll over and play dead for Frank and Carl? (Hey Carl, next time don't let on how much you make or what kind of car you have--i myself even as an oldie can't stomach hearing about your Merc and your porsche when I'm driving an 18yrold volvo and a twelve yr old honda--I would come to the same conclusion-he don't need the money!)
Meanwhile the only other complaint is about the work ethic...On this topic the oldies remind me of the Mom who doesn't let anyone help with the kitchen or the laundry and then complains that they're all spoiled--Oh Wait a minute! I AM that Mom!!!! rotflmao

On the other hand, Boran who had to suffer adversity right off the bat (no water, 2 TCs...) are much more of a unit while Samburu turned itself into a house divided against itself...I think we saw a bit of that in both challenges last night. Not to say that Boran isn't already thinking along alliance strategies, but they seem much more able to put that aside when it's time to focus and work as a team!

Go Boran!
Go LEX!

I'm 2 for 3 this week since I gave Silas too much credit for having a brain and thought he would cleverly play both sides and sacrifice Brandon to
appease the oldies. It turned out to be pure dumb luck for the youngies, because the tiebreaker could easily have gone either way...

Let's face it...we'll probably never see anyone play these things who's as smart as our boy Will K. again!

(apologies to TVCH alliance 1 who already saw almost the same message....but i needed to vent and couldn't bring myself to retype/reword the whole thing! lol)

<sorry off the subject> didn't Farrah act really spaced out last time she was on Letterman? I didn't watch last night but saw a clip and she looked really bad...ewwwww!

Linda is kind of off the wall with her African Mother act...but so far she is the only one on that team that I like.

Fruitbat, once again I agree with you! First on the whole Lenny/Karyn thing, now on Linda! On the first show when she rambled that this was mother Africa and everyone doesn't appreciate it, ok, I allowed her her opinions. This time, with her "the goddess is angry and she punished us" act, she really got on my nerves. She doesn't look like she's going to help her case next week with her mock bowing "thank you" to Lindsey. This tribe is going to fall apart. I despise Frank, and Linda is moving that way. I don't particularly care for Brandon. Teresa and Kim are nonentities. I tolerate Lindsey - she can be a little immature sometimes, but I sympathize with her on Frank. The only one I like is Silas. If Lindsey does go out next week to the hospital, then it'll be back to 3-3. If not, I am looking forward to the old ones kissing butt to Silas next week.

Yes, the younger ones may be a tad lazy, but the old ones are the ones who set up the conflict so early. I can understand the old ones' frustration at the lack of work, but if I was in that tribe, I would be a whole lot more agreeable to working if I worked with them as part of the team, rather than working for Frank who is barking orders and yelling what to do. Interesting how Boran had an identical old/young demographic and their tribe has split along gender lines instead.

Maybe I'm old too, but, those young fools are just that. They've been whining since the getgo. And lazy doesn't describe them. If the older folks didn't see to their needs, they'd be dead- they don't seem smart enough or strong enough to make it on their own. Lucky guess, Lindsey, with the tick (which is a well know remedy by the way). If they keep ousting the strong ones, they're gonna be gone as a tribe. Boran has outwitted them with their ability to at least work as a team until they merge. It seems the younger Samburu's would rather "hang out" complain. I thought that was pretty sad when they ate all the food instead of sharing with the ones who went on the journey to hell for water. I'd have dumped theirs out and said, "there's more over yonder if ya want some". Babies in Africa.

How bout those lions? Looked a little sickly to me. Still scary... but sickly too.
