Ok, I have to ask. Rob made some disparaging remarks about Tom's intelligence and even worse remarks about his son. Yet, Rob ran out of matches, Tom didn't. Rob couldn't finish the fire challenge and Tom won. If Tom and his son are lacking so badly in the area of intelligence, I wonder what that says about Rob?

SNORE!! Disappointing episode. That was a very poorly set up competition. Yes, there were a few matches for each person but did the producers try it out and see how difficult it was going to be?? I saw piles of wood available for each person and very little of the grass needed to actually START the fire with. You cant light a branch with just a match!! That was pathetic to watch and was a NON-contest, in my opinion. *** If I was Shi Ann I think I would have ripped up my top to use as fire starter...would have burnt nicely!! *** The TC confused me a bit. Was Shi ann so sure that she was gone? Surely letting everyone know she was going to vote JENNA might have saved her...voting Amber was a waste. If Shi Ann let everyone know Jenna was at least going to get a vote a couple of others MAY have changed their mind at the last minute. ** Another disappointment was the same old comp. where family gets to eat creepy stuff. How many times has this been done already? Even Jeff looked bored. MEN always have the advantage...bigger mouths, bigger throats, stronger jaws for crunching bugs. Not fair to the women. ** ENOUGH of my complaining!! All I really care about now is Big Tom NOT WINNING the $$$. <NK>. Worse of all, Tom did nothing special to get to where he is now.....everyone there is final five only because of alliances. Snore. I dont want anyone to win LOL

Wow Sun, I'm impressed, you sound like you would be good on the show. I was sorry to see the Shi go. "Shi Banged". I was rooting for her and would have loved to see her win. Boy would Alica have been pissed. He He. I know more than anything, I don't want Tom to win although I thought his son was great. I hope Rupert wins but doubt he will unless he and Jenna can convince Tom to help vote Rob off. If Rob wins I will say he deserved it because he understood from the first that this is not a nice game and was never intended to be.

Hmmmmmm . . . What I found disturbing about Big Tom winning the RC were his comments that he'd rather have seen his wife or even his neighbor's sister. That must make his son feel great. And then after that, he makes those comments about Rupert drooling over his wife being sickening. Poor Big Tom. I like the guy but he is clueless sometimes about other people. But I did enjoy seeing Rob eat the dust as Tom won, lol. And then there were Rob's comments to his brother Mike about how the "" Lex actually kept Ambuh only to be "snaked" right after by him, Rob. What a guy! I have to say that people I know who are fairly new to Survivor are enthralled with the romance of Rob and Ambuh so I guess MB knows what he's doing. Maybe us old time fans just know too much already about these people. My respect for Shiiann in the last two weeks has gone way up. I always wondered why the person being voted out didn't say more at TC to stir things up for after they left. I only wish she had gone even further. She was so right about the 'power' couples and the "stupid stupid players'. In my mind, she left on a high note.

Why don't they all just quit and hand ole Rob and Ambuh the money now and put us all out of our misery. I can't believe how stupid they all are to allow Rob to run the whole show. Every single one of them is counting on Rob taking them to the end. Hello? Do they really think he would take anyone but Ambuh to the final two with him? DUH!! I sure hope something good happens next week since the last few weeks have been far too predictable. The best thing was Shi Ann winning immunity last week. Why or why didn't they take the chance to break up the "power couple?" Dumb dumb dumb..... and this is ALL STARS? sheesh

Kappy, what Tom meant was that the way they had the beds set up indicated to him that it was more suited to two couples rather than 4 guys. Hence it was better suited to him and his wife, or even (in jest I'm sure) him and his neighbor's sister, than it was to him and his son. If you've got it recorded, go back and look and see if you agree. I don't think he was disparaging his son at all. These old country boys say some weird stuff, but if you've been around them as long as I have they usually make sense!

I was disappointed by Big Tom last night. His big ole country boy shenanigans never really bothered me, but last night I thought he was a tad spiteful and mean. Especially in his comments about Rupert. I know Rupert has his nay sayers, but no one could deny the feelings that were so evident between Mr/Ms Rupert last night. That kind of love goes deep. Rupert and his wife have a deepness and passion that just could not be hidden. I laughed out loud when Jeff had to say ..."Down Rupert...Down!!" ...and then for Tom to make those comments totally took me by surprise. I've never seen that type of behavior in Big Tom before. It was never displayed in his Africa episode. But I think that if normally inappropriate behavior is treated as acceptable by a group, then others within that group may start to act inappropriately too. In my opinion, Tom has been hanging with Rob too much...

Kappy, I have to seriously agree with you about Shii Ann the last two weeks. If it weren't for her, it would have been another boring set of episodes. I give her 'props' for that, and going out the way she did. She really did shake things up a bit, and I was glad that someone finally had the courage to say things to people's faces instead of being meek about it. I didn't like her at first, but her courage has grown on me. Wish she could've accomplished the swing vote thing, so the show could change gears. We're coasting in "neutral" right now!

I liked Shii-Ann's departure a lot- I wish we could have seen if she said more. She must have said a lot because when Jeff asked if she was done ranting yet, she hadn't really said a lot that we saw yet. I bet the jury was doing their best not to crack up laughing. I would have been I've never been to impressed with Tom. He reminds me of the ex-husband of one of my mom's friends. Seems like he might be kind of fun to party with and comes off as a pretty happy, silly guy but has a hidden mean streak in him- especially when he drinks. Bo sounds so much like him it's weird. Their little dance together was kind of funny though- can you imagine their family gatherings/reunions/holidays!? Also, I know Tom did it for the alliance thing and to kiss some Rob butt BUT pretty much everyone was telling him to pick Rupert, which I thought was nice and I thought he would. It just seems like a wife visitor would be more meaningful than a brother who you're just joking around with. I guess maybe Tom didn't want to watch them kissing all night. And he doesn't like him...

IN regards to rupert and his wife... Can I just say it was nice to finally in all the seasons of survivor see a husband and wife showing real affection to each other. Every other couple has only given a hug and a peck, I'm sorry but if I was out there and away from my hubby, I would be all over him to. I thought it was cute to see mrs.boneham throwing her leg around rupert. It's about time somebody acted like they were in love and weren't afraid to show a little PDA. I don't like what tom said about the drooling because i just chalked it up to jealousey and missing his wife. But I can see why he did bring rob. Would you want to sit and watch a couple making out all night for something you won? so i can understand his choice, stradey or just plain wanting to have a good time with just the boys!

Jake from the season Brian won...he & his wife looked like they were still crazy in love after all these years. He cried, just seeing her, when they first stepped out for the gross food contest. I thought Jake was cool.

I got the impression from Tom's comments last night regarding Rupert and his wife that Tom thinks he's a "manly-man". I have a bet going with my husband that if Tom is on the jury and it is a man and woman in the final two, Tom will not vote for the woman. I think it's funny that Tom get sub-titled so much. I only wish they did it all the time because I have a hard time understanding him.

I agree Avery. He barely hugged his son and I think it's for the reason you said.

Sunshyne4u you made me laugh, thank you. That would have been great for ShiAnn to do with her top. I like her and think she played the game great. I don't know why they dislike her so much and keep Jenna who is a true pain in the butt! If I could have a man who would love me as much today as he did they day we met and continue to show it and be turned on by it, WOWOWOWOW! Too cool! I want Rupert and/or Big Tom to be in the final two. They are the only ones who seem to be human with human feelings. The others are too cold for me. Tom should wonder what we are thinking when his son showed up and not his wife, unless there is something I don't know about. Jenna will be next and then it will be Amber/Rob and Rupert/Tom fighting it out.

I agree with you too Avrey. I kind of get the impression that Tom doesn't hold "wimmen" in very high regard. Like they are there to fulfill a man's needs and fantasies, and other than that they are useless. As you can see by the way I spelled it, even the way he pronounces "women" sounds disrespectful. Of course, I could be all wet too, its just a gut feeling. I know Mom hasn't watched a whole lot of Survivor (and didn't see Tom's original series), but she got a bad vibe from him right away and he is her least favorite.

Jake was in Thailand (he was the one that chose the members of Sook Jai including Shii Ann.) Paschal was from Marquesas (he was the one that got the purple rock, Neleh's best pal.)

Lol...thanks Essence Yes...that IS the guy I meant. Kinda cool 'ole' coot ...lol ;) He and his wife...you could see he was crazy about her. Pascal was the judge. He was too kind to Neleh and too loyal but that made him the sweet old guy he was.

Well, as usual when we get down close to the end it seems like it's been going on forever, yet coming to a close so quickly. I'm sorry Rupert didn't get to shine the way he did in Pearl Islands, he fit right in with the pirate theme! There hasn't seemed to be a theme this time except it's the Rob show.... Just an episode next Thursday May 6th, then the finale on Sun. May 9th and it will all be over. Hopefully, the next Survivor will be better.

Whoami- I agree with your Mom. The minute I saw Big Tom in Africa I got a very bad feeling. There is just something not right about him.

Have we forgotten that RUPERT has done two straight survivors. To me he is looking really weary. Rupert certainly didn't begin ASS in the fresh rested state of the other players. So taking into consideration what a really long time he has been separated from his family, no wonder Mrs. B got an enthusiastic greeting.
