I have posted a request in the "questions to moderators" thread for a triage unit to be set-up on the board for disoriented posters just like Ketchup.

I'mmaking it official, I'm switching my alliance to Lex after rewatching the show again last night. I still like Ethan, (and will still quietly root for him). But I want Lex for the win! :)

I am with you all the way Grooch. Lex is my man. <a quite Ethan fan, as well>

Unfortunately, folks, Lex and Ethan are in the wrong tribe. I like them too, but I fear that unless something unexpected happens, Boranians will all be eliminated.

The same thing was happening lsat year with Ogakor. But they pulled through and won.

Grooch, they indeed won--although I have to believe that Mike getting burned was the turning point of that game. I'm not so sure we can count on another burn victim

And victims of stupidity are most likely going to come from the Boran tribe. (at least based on what we've seen so far)

Are you including your man, Clarence, in your above statement?

I like Lex and thankfully everyone else seems to like him too at the moment.

Hopefully there will be a few safeguards in place this time to keep one tribe from systematically picking off the other if/when they merge.

I think Lex is a real player in this game. His public alliance is with Tom (can't believe this is the ONLY alliance he has going-Tom is really useful right now when they need a bad guy, tho).

Lex is pretty non-threatening, a team player... I think post-merge he will do really well.

I agree, Car, Grooch and Fruitbat. I think Lex is the man to watch IF Boran manages a comeback. I'm tempted to like Ethan, but there's something missing there (I just haven't figured out what yet!) And after reading his favorites at the top of this thread--I'm more convinced than ever that he is the guy to root for(I feel like we're sharing a brain!--we like almost all the same stuff!) AND he's fluent in French? **sigh** Good thing we're both married--lol. Oh Yeah, and my kids both had baby chucktaylor all-stars too!
GO LEX !!!!!!!

I'm leaving this here as a surprise for Grooch when she returns. Although Lex and I have very little in common, (our only shared interests are trivial pursuit, fishing[I just like to sit in the boat and hold the fishing rod-no worm touching for me], classic rock, cashew nuts, pizza and beer), I am officially declaring my loyalty to Lex from this moment forward. After you pick yourself up off the floor Grooch you can join me in a chorus of LEX ROCKS

Hey Lex-Heads,
Just read on 2 other sites that Lex has been seen with a new Survivor-themed tatoo since his return... maybe that means it was a good memory he wanted to commemorate!!!!
