Sarah's clothing so far seems to consist of:

Medium to dark blue bikini
Cream short sleeve T-shirt
Short black shorts
Light blue long sleeved T-shirt
Dark blue long pants

She has chin length medium to light brown hair, with blond streaks. She has small gold earrings. She wears a white shell looking necklace. She has rings on the index finger of her left hand and middle finger of her right hand. She has a small mole above the left side of her lip. She wears bluish purple shoes.

When the show started, I believe that may have been her throwing up in the bucket.

Opening credits: she is the second Maraamuu, after Hunter. She is wearing the blue bikini and necklace and walking in front of the water. Then she is shown in the bikini smiling and standing by a tree.

As Jeff introduces the Survivors, she is in the cream T-shirt. For her intro, she is shown in an office breakroom holding some papers. She is in the back left of the raft and is paddling. (Someone perhaps Sean says "stroke team 1-2").

She is then in the center of the raft in the bikini, not paddling. She says "hey the flag!" and claps. Cut to a scene of Pat paddling and looking worn out. Sarah is behind her WEARING THE CREAM T-SHIRT. Cut again, she is back in center with the cream shirt on her head. She says "stroke stroke kick kick stroke stroke". Sean's "I'm annoyed" speech. She is leaning back sitting (blue bikini, blue pants, shirt on head, buff tied on right bicep). Cut. She is standing up as the trumpets play. She jumps off the raft into Rob's arms.

Cut, she has taken the pants off and, for lack of a better word, struts. As Sean is wheezing and laying on the raft, she is working to open some sort of rope bag of supplies. They open the crate, she is watching and holding two objects (couldn't tell what they were).

Interview - we knew if we didn't work as a team one of us will starve to death.

Hunter: "what's this?" She says that's a magnifying glass. Hunter talks about the banana leaves funnel. She is leaning on a big walking stick. They get fire. She is excited and claps. She gathers twigs and stuff for the fire.

Night vision cam. Sarah says if she gets any money she wants a monkey. Rob says he wants one too. She huddles near the fire and is cold. She stand up, almost falls over. Vee talks about her "cute body" and says she paid a lot for it. [My comment... even if she paid for her breasts, the rest of her body is extremely fit and she clearly works hard for it] She is pulling some skirt thing over her hips and does a little dance. Rob is enthralled. Rob and Sarah go to the raft. Gina looks pissed. They lay on the raft and make a comment about how it could be their hot tub or pool.

Gina talks about their obvious flirtation. [She is clearly jealous.] Pan of the others lying on the ground together. Rob and Sarah sleeping. She is wearing the long sleeve T and pants. She spoons Rob, she is behind him.

They find grapefruits. Sean and Vee juggle them. When they toast to each other, you notice that Sarah is fairly short.

Sean and Petah "chillin'" on the raft. Petah wants to learn how to talk like he's from Hahlam. Everyone looks at the water map. She is in the bikini with her buff around her neck. At the waterhole, she is in the cream t-shirt and black shorts. She watches Petah boil water. Petah is talking about holes. She wrapped the buff around her chest to cover up her breasts.

They line up for the challenge. She is in the front, on the right. Sean leans on her and she pats his hands. When Jeff asks if they've got fire, she cheers and claps. For the challenge, she is on the left side of the outrigger, third (Hunter, Vee, Sarah, Rob). She says "stroke stroke". Gina and Petah dump over one of the floating fire things. She takes a lit torch and goes to light it again (?) and drops it in the water. [I didn't understand what was going on here, it was already lit!] On the return trip, she is now on the right side in second position behind Hunter. She watches Rotu win and scratches near her armpit. She and Hunter are two of the only Maraamuu that applaud Rotu's win.

She boils water. Gina is telling Petah off about the voting strategy. Sarah is next to her, in the long sleeve light blue shirt and blue pants. The shirt is flipped up a little showing her belly. It is overcast.

Interview. Very sunny. She is in the bikini. Sarah explains she will vote for Petah.

She scratches her arms [perhaps she is this year's Colleen? I remember something being said about all the bugs and bites.]

Once again very sunny. She is swimming with Rob, floats on her back as Sean is talking about her flotation devices.

As Gina explains the possible boots, Sarah is looking through her wicker knapsack. She puts on sunglasses on the top of her head. She is in the bikini and black shorts.

At tribal council, she is in front, second from the left. She is in the cream t-shirt and black shorts, between Sean and Patricia. Sunglasses on head.

Vee praises Hunter. Sarah nods in agreement. Jeff asks her her role. She says some of everything. Some people are better than others at some things, but she's willing to jump in.

She votes for Petah. Says he's very nice but says he did things to throw her off. As Sean votes for her, she has her hands clasped and looks pensive. As she gets a second vote, she nods as if she weren't surprised. Petah voted out, she still has hands clasped. Petah gives the tribe thumbs up. Sarah is the only one to give two thumbs up in return.

------------

My impressions, having concentrated on watching her closely. I really don't think she's as lazy as she's being made out to be. The scene in the raft was clearly spliced together, as evidenced by her in the bikini, then cut to the shirt, and back to the bikini. True, she did sit back and stand up, but who knows why and if it was as bad as everyone says it was.

The only people to complain vehemently about Sarah so far are Gina and Sean. Gina is clearly jealous of her and is IMO a hypocrite. She criticizes Sarah for flirting with Rob and yet says she is infatuated with Hunter. Sean complains about everyone. He complains that Hunter is taking charge and says that he is also an alpha male. But we don't see Sean working that hard, in fact we see him lounging around with Petah. Vecepia seems bemused by her and her body and is probably jealous as well.

I think it's just as she said at TC, some people are better than others at some things. She will find her role and I think the two votes have shocked her into realizing that some think she doesn't do enough.

BTW, the way they voted in TC was Peter, Gina, Patricia, Vecepia, Sarah, Hunter, Rob and Sean. But in the closing credits they flashed this order: Peter, Sean, Gina, Sarah, Hunter, Rob, Vecepia. Another example of editing for the story to get Sean's vote for Sarah last. Mark Burnett is clearly trying to get us to dislike her as we did Jerri.

But I honestly don't see that much to dislike. She appears to be nice and friendly. She is one of the only ones who consistently claps for others or when she is excited (perhaps she was a cheerleader). She really only seems to have annoyed Gina and Vecepia, who may be jealous, and Sean, who should be worried about himself first. Sure, she didn't pull her weight rowing. But as I've said elsewhere, perhaps there was a reason that we didn't see (stood up to see rocks, sick, etc.)

Give her a chance and don't be so hard on her! Now after tomorrow, of course, I may have a different judgment.

That was good Crazydog and I agree with you about Sarah... I thought she always seemed to be busy working... she doesn't bother me:) I don't think she bothers Gina as much as you think though... I think she is part of my Hunter/Rob/Gina alliance theory.

This is exactly where this superspoiling could "pay off" for us. Your insights when focusing solely on Sarah show how she may be edited to fit a "type", and could give us clues to what is actually going on-not just what MB wants us to know. Lex was very well liked by the tribe, but we got a whole different view.

Keep up the great work!!!

Good job!
Actually watching it a second time I did notice that Sarah came off better. The first time I'm obviously focusing on her flaunting her body, and all the negative comments from the others. This time I noticed how kind she was to people (whether fake or not). Like when Peter was talking about his 'holes' she smiled and encourged him, and gave him a big thumbs up when he was voted off. I noticed other moments too that made me think she was probably a nice person..BUT she WAS flaunting herself a bit.

Course I 'could' totally change my mind tonight too! LOL!

Great job Crazydog- and you have convinced me to give her a second chance:)

I don't think Gina dislikes or is jealous of Sara- I just think that she correctly pointed out that Sara & Rob are putting themselves in a bad position (by looking like an OBVIOUS alliance of 2). And yes Gina is smitten with Hunter- but she only spoke of it at confessional and it would surprise me ALOT if she shows it in front of the others.

I think the editing of Sara must be watched closely--because if she was 1/2 as annoying as she came across then surely they would have kicked her off!!

Good job ,Crazydog! A lot of people would have just ripped her up,but you were very fair. I agree she is being edited to look like the "Cleopatra",and after tonight,maybe she won't come off so bad.We'll see......

Thanks all... well here goes for Ep 2.

Show starts. Hunter is giving his weather report. Sarah is in the long sleeve light blue T shirt, hair is pulled back and tied. She laughs at the weather report, Rob's breakfast report and Sean's singing.

She helps Sean do something with the wood while Gina is boiling water. She watches PAtricia build a chicken trap out of bamboo. She now is wearing a light blue bikini top that covers more of her breasts than the other one, and the dark blue long pants. She leans over to look at the cage. [Yowza!]

Patricia asks Hunter to put sunscreen on her. Sarah looks bemused. Gina says, notice she didn't ask us? Patricia tells him to put some under the suit. Sarah laughs and says, you pervert, go Momma!

Patricia tells them to get coconuts. She is in the light blue bikini top and the black shorts. She drinks water while V watches. Everyone including Sarah looks annoyed with Patricia.

Sean and V are sitting and talking while everyone but Sarah is in the water. Sarah wades out to join them, still in the light blue top. The back of it definitely covers more than the dark blue bikini.

Sarah picks up leaves and weaves them. She looks up and looks annoyed. Cut to Sean sitting on the beach. Sarah, Gina and Patricia are weaving. They look at Sean sitting on the beach. She is still in the light blue top and black shorts.

Sarah and Rob walk in the water, same outfit. Vecepia finds a clam. Where's Sarah? Hunter: where one of them is, you know where the other is. V: I call them frick and frack. Sarah: Me and Rob have more in common than anyone. We're the two youngest. I am attracted to him and him the same. She scratches her arm again (more bug bites).

Hunter thinks Sarah is a distraction to Rob and thinks it would be better if Sarah went. Night vision cam. She is in light blue long sleeve shirt and dark blue pants. Rob: Sarah can be an asset because she's an extra vote, but he feels he is playing for two because she isn't doing much.

They are lying down. [I couldn't catch all of this because I don't have closed captioning.] Rob: You have to do work. Sarah: I do what I have to do. Rob: You don't understand these people. Just make sure they know you're doing something.

Rob interview: I picked her for a reason. I have two votes as long as I have her along.

They are sleeping, he has his arm around her.

Reward challenge message. Hunter reads. She is now in a black tank top and red pants. [I think it was her, I can't remember. New clothes! But then we never see them again.] At beach. Black shorts and dark blue bikini top. Standing on floating dock. She looks eager, ready to get in. She doesn't do anything with the rocks but then again none of the Marammuu women were shown diving down. Hunter and Rob lift boat. (Where is Sean?) She helps to bail. She is in the water pushing the boat from behind. (There were three Rotu pushing as well. Maybe there was only room in the boat for four.) As she helps to get the boat out of the water, another leaning over shot. She looks exhausted.

It is going to rain. Vecepia, Sarah, Gina and Patricia are working with the fronds to get a roof together before it rains. She is in the light blue top and the dark shorts. She looks thoughtful and annoyed.

Sarah interview: She has said for two days to put on the palm fronds to make a waterproof roof. No one listened. Now Hunter says to do it and it's a great idea.

She says to start from bottom to top when putting on the leaf shingles because otherwise water will drip in if you go from top to bottom. [I agree with her, she's right.] No one listens. Gina looks unhappy - in interview says Sarah makes a lot of comments but is all talk and no action. Pat says What's hunter gonna do about the sides. Sarah says he's ignoring me, I've been trying to help for 30 minutes. Pat and Gina have both hands on hips and look annoyed with Sarah. Gina interview: They had started putting on the roof. She says do this, do that, I told you that 3 days ago. She always says she'll do this or we have to do this but she doesn't do anything.

Sarah wants to put tons more stuff on top. Hunter says, we can't that's a lot of work. Sarah says, we should have worked on one side first, now we have two kind of waterproof sides instead of one good side. [Again, I agree with her.] Gina looks annoyed. Sarah says, is no one in agreement with me? I'm going to do it even if no one else wants to. I want to be dry. Patricia shakes head, Gina has one hand on hip and throws a stick.

Immunity challenge. Light blue top, black shorts. [OK I am beginning to think perhaps that was Gina in the black tank top and red pants?] Eating. She looks confident as she walks up to the table. [For some reason she reminded me of Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider.] She eats and nods, as if it wasn't a problem. During the challenge she is very encouraging of others. C'mon Sean. To Gina: [think of] Mom's biscuits. Yeah Gina, you're the champ. C'mon Robby. Sean says it's like that pizza. Sarah: pepperoni. you got it Rob, keep it down. Swallow. She cheers and claps. C'mon Hunter, you know you love it. Tie. Sarah picks "the girl with that" and motions hands to her head. They lose the challenge and walk out arm in arm. She is between Sean and Gina.

Sean to Vecepia: Sarah or I are going next. Hunter said she's not doing her share. She knows she's the weak link.

Vecepia interview: Sarah knows she is a liability. She's just here for the ride. Then whoever wants to will carry her for as long as we can go.

Rob to Hunter and Gina: no doubt this one's killing me. Hunter: then why are you letting it? Strategically, (shakes head).

Rob interview: if Sarah goes tonight I have to decide if I'll join Hunter and become the worker bee again, or go with Sean and risk looking stupid.

Rob and Sean talking. Trying to convince Sean to vote for Patricia. Sean says Pat is loud. But says I'm not telling you who I'm voting for, I'm not asking you who you're voting for.

Tribal Council. Sarah is in back row, middle. Long sleeve light blue shirt and black shorts. Sarah talks about Pat: I think we're all adults and no one needs to be told what to do. I'm 24 and my mom hasn't told me what to do in 8 years. It's hard to take sometime sbut you just bite your tongue and continue. Sean says work is wearing him down. Sarah: I work 16 hours a day at home. I didn't come here to do that. A bemused Jeff: What did you come here to do? Patricia looks amused as well. Sarah: I came here to play the game and meet cool people and have this adventure. We're definitely working. I do admit I do less than others. (Hunter turns to look at her, Gina looks up.) I'm saving my energy. I don't want to be the one to lose a challenge because I don't have enough energy. Gina: I totally disagree. If I expend more energy to take up for someone not working when I go to the challenge I will be twice as weak as I should be because I had to pull somebody else's weight.

Voting order shown: Patricia, Sean, Rob, Vecepia, Sarah, Gina and Hunter. Hunter votes for Sarah: You know I love you. But the beach party's over. We gotta work hard.

Votes: Sarah. She nods. Momma. Sarah. Stone face. Patricia. Sarah nods. Sarah. Stone face, swallow, slight nod. Patricia. Last vote: Mom. Sarah turns and nods. Gina looks absolutely disgusted. Pat torch out, Sarah stone face. Jeff: a tribe divided. Sarah nods.

Next week, on Wednesday. Hunter: Please don't be sensitive about it. Sarah: Apparently I have to be. Hunter: No you don't. Sarah: Apparently I have to be. Vee: There's just too much DRAMA in this place. [apparently they left their Mary J Blige CD at home!]

Voting order in closing credits: Patricia, Sean, Vecepia, Sarah, Gina, Hunter, Rob.

---------------

My comments: Well well well, Sarah didn't come off that great, but neither did she look horrible. She seems to have toned down the body flaunting (or we don't see it). She is now wearing a bikini top that is a lot more modest than the stringy dark blue one, so perhaps she realizes the other females were a little annoyed.

She was completely right about the palm roof. The way they were building it, top to bottom, rain will collect in between each layer. Her way, bottom to top, not as much. She was shown working on the leaves and helping out with other stuff. Sean was shown this time being lazy.

Gina and Hunter are definitely annoyed with her lack of work. Vee seems to be as well. Sean recognizes it. If Sean knew it was either him or Sarah, why didn't he vote for Sarah? He had to have known Gina and Hunter would vote for Sarah. I suppose he knew Sarah and Rob would be voting for Patricia and he didn't like Patricia so this was his chance to get her off.

Sarah still seems very nice. She was very encouraging of the others during the reward challenge. She was laughing during the weather report.

She also seems very honest and is not afraid to say what she thinks. When asked if Patricia annoyed her, the typical Survivor answer would have been something like "of course not, we all know that we need to get things done and Pat was just reminding us in a nice way." Instead she says of course it did, I'm an adult. She freely admitted to not doing as much work. I was a little surprised Gina cut in and said I totally disagree. [Can we say catty? No one on Survivor has ever spoken out of turn without being called on, except for Mad Dog during her infamous "Tina is a constellation" bit]

Ok, bottom line, Sarah knows Hunter and Gina don't think she does enough. Rob has told her to do some work. Now that the tribe has gotten rid of its two most annoying people, perhaps she will step up. The next Maramuu boot will surely be her or Sean. I honestly don't think Sean and Vee are allied with Rob and Sarah, as evidenced by Sean's I don't wanna know talk. Next week Sean and Vee could very well vote Sarah and she is gone. If they do ally, Gina is gone.

Other observations: Hunter and Rob are safe until the merge. Why didn't Sean help them lift the boat? He says he wants to be the alpha male but yet he doesn't do any work either. Hunter and Gina clearly will continue to vote for Sarah over Sean so unless she changes a lot or convinces Sean and Vee to vote for Gina she could be in trouble.

Again the voting order was mixed up, just to make the final displayed vote a vote for Sarah.

If I have more thoughts tomorrow, I will post them. Going to bed!

Thought more about the Sarah situation. Her situation is very much like Kathy's. They have both put themselves under the magnifying glass in that the tribes will be watching their every move and trying to find fault in whatever they do. I don't think either of them can fully recover. Survivor is so much a game of first impressions, and these people are heartless. Can anyone think of an example of a Survivor who made a bad first impression and recovered to last fairly long in the game?

Sarah is honest and forthright. She won't hold back. Next week's preview shows her getting defensive and upset. I think this is probably her reaction to the vote at TC. It doesn't look as bad as Lindsey's reaction on S3 though. I admire the fact that she doesn't seem fake and calculating. Unlike John, whose every move seems to be planned carefully, she just is who she is. She doesn't seem overly concerned with what others think of her, and I think that's a refreshing change from the manipulative backstabbing Survivors in the past.

So what if she is just here to get the Playboy spread? She beat out tens of thousands of applicants just to get on the show. She probably already considers herself a winner and if her only goal is to have fun and meet people, I say more power to her. She won't win the game but neither does she have to be so vilified. Nick Brown was the laziest and most boring Survivor ever and I didn't see other Survivors on his show complain as much about him as the ones this time do about Sarah. They're all just trying to find someone else to deflect the attention to. Being under the radar so far seems to have helped Vecepia immensely. Everyone thinks she is a saint!

Sarah definitely makes the show more interesting. I'd say she is perhaps the focal point of Marammuu and is one of the reasons why Marammuu is so much more fun to watch than the boring love fest that is Rotu. [BTW, I dislike the name Rotu, especially the way Jeff yells out ROW TOO! Everytime I hear "Rotu", it makes me think either 1) they couldn't afford seats in the front, or 2) for some reason I think of R2D2.]

Great insight- I wonder if Mark B. will be doing some manipulating earlier this time to keep Sarah around at least until the merge. I did think of Lindsay when I saw that preview of the post vote tirade- of course Lex threw the hissy fit and came in third!:)

Richard Hatch made a not-so-good first impression on one of the first episodes of Survivor I. Remember him sitting on the tree branch barking out orders and we thought "what a tyrant"?

Of course, I still don't like him, but he did play a good game and ultimately won.

I kinda agree with you about Sarah so far (I thought her roof idea made sense too)and I'm glad she wasn't voted off. She's more interesting than Patricia. She makes for better TV. I want to see a relationship form between her and Rob, and more conflict between her and Gina. I want to see more than just 'the game' like we saw in S3. I hope Maramumu win IC next week, I'd hate to see them lose another so soon in the game..I'd like to see what kind of group dynamic we get out of them now that they've lost two. Not too mention, I'd like to see more of Rotu, so they need a TC to shake things up. It's getting boring just watching them abuse the abrasive Kathy all the time (then make up).

Mindy, I hope that Rotu loses too, so we can see more of that tribe! And my ulterior motive is to see that Kathy booted! She drives me nuts!

Sorry, crazydog, but Sara really rubs me the wrong way. When she admitted to being lazy at the tribal council, I didn't admire her honesty, I wondered how anyone could be so foolish and shoot themselves in the foot that way!! She would be much better served by acting contrite and then pitching in a bit harder!!!!

She's acting like she deserves to sit back and relax while others work hard. In my opinion, that does NOT A SURVIV0R MAKE!!!!

Well,I'll give you,yeah she's honest. And she was right about the roof,but really,she annoys me too much to care. Fact is,she isn't there to play the game.She's there for the fame.

Crazy--great job in being objective and fair of your reporting on Sarah. She is not a favorite of many people at this time (nor was she from the start).

I agree that Vee showed a bit of a catty side by the bought body comment she made. I explained thaht in another thread about how t's just a matter of degree. Fake nails, fake hair color, make up, breast job. The idea behind each is the same, just some costing more than others. That said, I have to say I'm not impressed with her, especially after the second episode.

She is there for the adventure, and not the hard work. Her right of course, although frequently there is a price to pay for that. Although so far they are picking off people that are irriating to them before picking off the worst workers.

One thing she didn't get a fair shake on was the roof ideas she had. They were accurate, and well said. I agree with her that anything hunter says at this poinmt is gold, and she is basicaly ignored.

I think she could have really helped herself out by taking a different approach to the work--starting with getting to shore. If they lose another challenge, I think she is in trouble, unless someone else really blows it in the next 3 days.

Sarah's actions and words make me see Lindsay or Shannon (BB) every time: Lazy, Outspoken, Self-Centered, Naive yet Brazen

Yes, she was correct on the construction how-to's, but she did not implement the construction by working on it, she just worked her mouth. (Sean only wants to get rid of Sarah because, according to him, she is a weak female and therefore expendable, the same way he felt about Patricia. I'm sure if he had his way Gina would follow, then Vee.)

I really tried to like Sarah and keep an open mind, but she set me off when she said she was saving her energy for the challenges.

She may actually sway Rob, Vee, and Sean to vote Gina or Hunter off in the next tribal immunity loss.

I too find that Sara adds a lot of conflict and interest to the show. As does Sean.

I will go and check my tape for the clothing you spoke of---I didn't notice it while spoiling Gina...

OK- false alarm about the red pants LOL
Sara is sitting on what appears to be a life jacket. You can see the corner of another lifejacket that someone else is sitting on in the top left corner of that shot as well.

During that part Gina is wearing her black bikini top and tan pants.

OK, here it is.... sorry for the delay.

Episode 3

Right after tribal council, nightvision cam. Everyone is around the fire, Sarah asks if there are ferns on the bottom. She looks like she is doing something with the fire. Vee asks if everyone is OK. Sarah says, "This morning when I woke up and you guys were already gone, I knew immediately that you guys were talking *bleep* and saying I wasn't working when no one bothered to wake me up. You need me to do something, dammit get me up." Gina looks at the fire. Rob looks uncomfortable. Hunter: "You're being paranoid, please don't be sensitive about it." s: "Apparently I have to be." H: "No you don't." S: "Apparently I have to be." Gina: "What you said tonight caused me to vote for you. I was wavering between two people. When you said I want to save my energy...." (Everyone talks over each other.) Vee exclaims about all the DRAMA. Sean talks about lack of communication and how it's a form of disrespect. When you don't communicate, you just assume people will get up when you want to get up. Gina interview: Sarah and Sean don't want to be asked to do things, they think they should just know it. And if asked, they get pissed off. What kind of communication do they want. Hunter talking to Sean about the water. Sean says he felt like Hunter TOLD him to do it. Sarah says something about see, asking not telling. Sarah is very annoyed the whole time, lots of hand gestures.

Next day, everyone laughs during the wake up show. Sarah is sitting next to Rob, in the long sleeve light blue T shirt. Sarah looks at bug bites. Rob talking about nonos. Sarah is now in the cream T shirt as she scratches her face and arms. Now cut, back in the long sleeve T. Sean talking about black and white nonos. AS he is still talking, we cut again to Sarah, BACK in the cream short sleeve T. [Did they film this "scene" twice?????]

Raft building. Sarah in the light blue bikini top (the more modest one). Straps off shoulders. She helps to get the bamboo. Everyone quietly looks at it. Meanwhile Rotu is shown working hard and working together. Sits in the water near the raft. Hunter and Rob do almost all of the work. Sean consistently looks irritated and annoyed.

Sean lays in water, with shoes on. Hunter is with machete and coconut. Sarah in cream shirt, sits and scratches. Rob wearing olive jacket, eats coconut. Sarah now in light blue bikini top, sits on Rob's lap, who is now shirtless and in olive shorts.

Sean sleeps. Rob and Sarah sleep. She is in the dark blue (stringy) bikini top. Rob talks about washing hair. Sarah is now in the cream T.

Talking strategy re raft. She sits on the left side, middle, between Rob and Gina. She tries to pull up the first box, Vee helps her. She rows hard, in unison with Gina. Sean rows terribly. Everyone is dejected when they lose.

Talk about losing, Sarah is eating a coconut or some other white thing. Vee reads about the immunity challenge. She is in the light blue long sleeve shirt, eating something.

Challenge. Cream T and blue shorts. Vee is first caller. Sarah follows her instructions. In the hole. Sarah next caller. Does a great job of calling, they seem to get it in quickly. Rob is the third caller. He is simply awful. So much so that Sarah directs Vee how to pull at least twice.

Hunter talks to Gina about going after Sean. Sean is talking to Rob. Sean: I looked over at your girl, a lot of times she just looks like she's cheerleading you on. Do you have feelings for her? Rob: I don't know. I'm just playing the game. Rob to Sarah: The game always keeps you thinking. (She is in the dark blue bikini and blue pants) We need to keep the team strong. Sean isn't that strong. Sarah seems to agree. (now in cream T shirt)

At TC. Jeff talks about 5 straight losses. Getting along? Sarah says yes, we cleared the slate. Hunter talks about rebuilding, Sarah and Gina nod. Hunter votes for Sarah: Sorry. I don't think you're taking the game seriously, and I want to protect someone.

Reading of votes: Hunter. (blank look from him) Sarah. (she nods). Sarah (she nods). Hunter (he looks shocked). Hunter (he has stone face, Gina sighs and closes eyes). Hunter. He says good luck you guys. No one says anything. He thumbs up. Sarah waves back. Gina and Vee wistful.

------------------

Sarah didn't look half as lazy as Sean during this episode. Sarah seems to recognize that she needs to work hard, she was very angry about not being woken up. Why didn't Rob wake her up? It is clear to me that Rob is playing her and using her. He admitted to Sean he doesn't know if he has true feelings for her and that he's playing the game.

Sean doesn't like Hunter and apparently Vee is voting with him... Rob talked to Sean about how the two of them controlled everything. Hunter approached Rob about voting off Sean, Rob was reluctant. Why didn't Hunter and Gina convince Rob to vote off Sean? Conclusion: Rob wants to be the alpha just as much as Sean and he needed Hunter gone as well. Sarah does whatever Rob wants and is being majorly played.

Again we saw creative editing. I don't know about the morning show - I find it hard to believe she would keep changing tops. I think it was filmed twice, why I'm not sure. This time around, editing made Sean look bad. Sarah didn't really do anything to warrant annoyance this episode. She talked about how frustrated she was that everyone walked off without her and talked about how she didn't do work.

Hunter and Gina voted for Sarah, probably because they realized their only shot was to hope Sean and Vee voted for Sarah. In post boot interviews, Hunter said Sean was lazier than Sarah.

Overall, I'd say if there is no merge at the next Tribal council, I think for Sarah to survive there might need to be some lying. Sean knows Rob controls Sarah and will feel threatened that Rob has two votes. Sean (and thus Vee, although why I can't figure) will try to boot Sarah. Gina will undoubtedly vote for Sarah. Rob needs to convince Gina that they need to boot Sean. Or he needs to tell Sean that they need to vote for Gina to get rid of her, and then he and Sarah still vote for Sean.

If there is a merge, I think the merged tribe will vote off whoever they find the most annoying. Rotu would have the numbers advantage so they will probably vote off Sean.

Great analysis! Although it didn't give us much this time, catching little details like the shirt switching may pay off with some clues later in the game. I totally didn't notice that when I was watching. Keep up the good work! :)

For Sarah,

I don't want to be influenced by anyone else so here goes.

I thought Sarah spoke really well at the end. Simple but well. She didn't dis anyone, she wished Gina goodluck, I think it was pretty classy. I liked that.

I will be interested in her post boot interviews.

I suspect she will be a lot like Lindsay, who didn't have a clue how she came across on the show.

I think classy is the way to go; after all she wants a life after survivor and if she comes off all sour, it won't help her. Hunter could have eased up a bit, too, or just put things a bit more diplomatically.

I'll be very interested to see how she is dressed on the Early Show tomorrow.

I do agree she won't have that much of a clue, Car

She is waiting tables in California now. So far it hasn't done her much good.

I never liked Sara, but all through the show I kept hoping she would start fresh and work. She had a chance to stay if she just had of tried, Kathy was obviously getting on everyones nerves.

I also liked her exit speech especially the part for Gina.

I guess the romances are gone now. I wondered what Sara thought has she watched the show tonight how Rob and Sean talked about women.
