Now that the season is further along and we are able to see their personalities emerge.....what are your observations and impressions.

I see Kathy as the same bossy woman we saw in the first episode despite Johns comment that she had changed.

Pappy seems to have been riding on the coat tails of the stronger players on Rotu. Now that he has been seperated I see a very passive man who is keeping to himself. We have no idea what lies under the surface. Time will tell how this will serve him. I don't see him making it far.

Gina is brittle and edgy. She is not compelling to me or others on her team as far as I can see.

Zoe was firts to draw the blue buff and I think Gabe was second. (someone correct me if I am wrong) Neleh commented that the first two back to Rotu were two of the strongest members of the team. They are still my contenders for the final 2.

Robert sat out on at least 2 challenges and I am beginning to think he is the first of their own to go. They may like him but not as much as the others.

Tammy? no clue yet but a strong woman.

I like John.

I would say at this point that Zoe, Gabe and Tammy have an alliance that was formed early on but kept in the back pocket, unspoken. It stemmed from a mutual respect and rapport.

MsBat, see my observation of Paschal's behavior in the "My Observation of Paschal" thread. This is not the "real" Paschal we are seeing. It just can't be. I think more of the real Paschal will be shown later, certainly after the merge.

I agree. I did see that. The reason I started this thead is that we are talking about our impressions all over the board.

Time for some threads to die. The twist is over, etc.

My favorite part of this show begins now that we are seeing a little more of how they operate.

You cannot sit out 2 challenges in a row so Sean, Rob and Robert will team up with 1 other Rotu member for the next IC. THAT will be good.

Wow...good piece of info Fruit! Maybe they will lose and have to vote someone off finally!

I wonder what their reasoning was as to who sat out. They clearly wanted to win but why Robert and not Vee?

About Kathy....doesn't this woman EVER learn! It sure didn't take long for her to become the Boss Woman from hell...again!

Rob is SO coniving! The son of Richard Hatch!

I like Gina, but she better ditch the Boss Woman and start kissing up to the passive duo of Seet Pea and Pappy. They may speak softly...but they carry a big stick.

I agree that when the Rotu people finally get around to voting out their own...Robert will be among the first to go.

Gervase lasted as long as he did because he was so "charming". Sean needs to go to that school. I don't think the Rotu people are finding him at all funny.

Hang in there John! All of Omaha and the surrounding area are rooting for you!

Fruit I agree on the Gabe, Tammy, Zoe alliance. I like all three especially Tammy from what little has been shown of her. I thought Gabe's decision not to respond to Sean's rant was a wise one.

I think Gina is in a very tenuous position and even tho she and Kathy seem to have a lot in common she would be wise to try and schmooze Neleh and Pascal. With 3 Rotu at Moomoo I think the only way Gina can save herself is persuading Neleh and Pascal to vote out the abrasive Kathy. The problem with that of course is that Pascal seems pretty useless as far as a helping hand around the camp which is definitely one of Kathy's assets.

Not to overload the mental note section of your brain but the title for the next episode is "The End of Innocence" . Does this perhaps indicate that the Pascal and Neleh alliance can be fractured or is it simply a reference to the lovefest at old Rotu?

Kathy's response to stress is to put it on autopilot and "cope." She copes by barking out orders, be they right or wrong. She doesn't like things to be out of control, and she wrongly assumes she is the only one who will assert control. She was right back to fire anxiety on the new team.

Wink, My guess is that the title refers to strife in Rotu.

I agree Juju. It doesn't matter who is voted out on Mar either. Kathy or Gina. I don't care for either one of them.

Mar gets along well now. Kathy is pushy but that is old news. The focus will be on Rotu.......at last.

I also agree on the Zoe, Gabe, & Tammy alliance.

Kathy...she didn't learn a thing from the first go-round with a new tribe.

Gina...I can't warm up to her but enjoyed that she didn't have any fake waves or blown kisses to Sarah last night.

Robert...I see him going first from Rotu.

John...I enjoy him. I am hoping that he is in some alliance we haven't seen yet. Maybe with Zoe?

Paschal & Neleh...Both are easy going but I think Neleh has some spunk & might surprise people.

Vee...I'm happy to see her distancing herself from Sean & Rob.

Sean & Rob...The gruesome twosome. Enough said.

I like Vee. Her whole strategy works, too. When Sean was complaining she steered clear.

I'm feeling good about Tammy as a strong contender for the win. I think she's gonna bust out shrewd, sneaky and strong after the merge.

The Tammy, Zoe, Gabe alliance will be tough to beat. John may be in or on the periphery of this alliance -- if he is, he's my pick for the first one cut loose.

Rob, Sean, Vee & Gina - Maraamu is going to get picked off like "fish in a barrel".

Kathy - I find her exhausting and irritating but I believe she just might bushwhack her way to the final five.

Neleh - I'm with Willi on this one...she'll get stronger and more competitive.

Paschal - time will take a toll on him.

Robert - has he really done anything besides cut his toe? Either he gets aggressive or he's a goner.

Gina....seems like a tough competitor, if she could get in with the right group of people, but I still think she would have something to gripe about no matter where she was.

Kathy....don't think she is going to last much longer, if Marraaum loses the next IC, she will be out of there. She doesn't know when enough is enough.

Neleh...she does seem like she has spunk, but she is also very tiny, I think she will become too weak.

Paschal...I like him, but like everyone has said he is way too passive.

Gabe...I really want to like him, but I am having a really hard time getting past the Boogie connection. This guys has got it together though, he is strong, smart, and pretty perceptive, he knows what is going on in that camp, he's got himself in a really good position, hopefully he can just stay there.

Zoe/Tammy...they haven't shown them a whole lot, I thought from the beginning these two would be strong, I agree with the theory of the Zoe/Tammy/Gabe allliance.

John...he's expendable, hopefully he has gotten himself at least half alligned with someone. I don't think he would be the first to go, but he won't be the last either. I like him though.

Robert...half the time I forget he is even there. Makes me wonder if he is not being shown as much for a way for a reason. I think he will be around for a while, they need his strength, if he makes it to the merge, he won't last much after that.

Vee...I still really like her, I think she can fit in with the Rotus pretty well as long as she carries her weight. She will be there for a while. She better distance herself from Sean or he will end up bringing her down.

Rob/Sean...You know that cliff they want to climb over to so they can do nothing all day? I hope someone follows them and pushes them off of it. People (if you can call them that) like that are not entertaining to me at all. I see no need for them, if one of them wins, I swear, I will never watch another Survivor.

Gina...a hard worker who is loyal to her friends. I think Kathy, Paschal, and Neleh would vote her off if they lose immunity next week (or the week after), but only because they feel they have to.

Kathy....because Rotu bonded so much, I think she'll make it through another few TCs. But she's too aggressive and emotional, so it's unlikely she'll make it much farther than that.

Neleh...not that strong physically, but her likable personality will keep her around for awhile. She's the Colleeen/Elisabeth/Kim P. of the season. :)

Paschal...same as Neleh. He won't make the final two, but I expect him to be part of the jury.

Gabe...I like him, but his leadership potential and intelligence seems to make some people insecure. Additionally, he tends to speak his mind, which might get him in trouble. He's a threat in individual ICs, too. So while I think most people like him, I can see him getting voted off because he's too much of a threat.

Zoe/Tammy...who? :) Kidding. I have a feeling that Tammy might go very far. She seems to get along well with everyone. I'm not sure about Zoe since we've seen so little of her. I like both so far, though.

John...he seems a little too paranoid and uptight to make it to the final two. His nervous energy and temper might hurt him. But the fact that he's semi-athletic, self-aware, and a hard worker might help him stick around a bit longer.

Robert...seems strong and nice, but not necessarily a pushover. I'd have to see more of him to make a prediction for how far he might make it, though.

Vee...flies under the radar. I think she stands the best shot of all the original Maraamu of making the jury, especially if the new Rotu is unwilling to lose deliberately. I'm kind of tired of her claiming to not be part of the drama when she *is* involved (although to a less extent than some of the others), but she doesn't grate on the nerves like Rob or Sean do.

Rob/Sean...Lazy, lazy, lazy. I hope they're the next two voted off. Both seem arrogant and crude, and they seem amused by how un-PC and underhanded/nasty they are. It'd take some pretty disappointing behavior from the original Rotu for them to make the jury, IMHO.
