Arrrrgh Cay, he's been that way from day one. And his first Survivor too!! I hated him then, I hate him now. He is soooooo arrogant. I just hope all of his tribemates (esp. Rupert) wake up and see who he really is before it's too late. I think Rupert's biggest problem in the game is seeing the good in everyone. I love him but I don't see how he could possibly win.

Finally BR is shown as himself. This is the Robfather I remember from Marquesas. I also don't believe Rupert was being arrogant. I think it was his way of holding on to his self esteem. Rob only caught fish for the sole purpose of making Rupert feel insignificant. When someone tries to make me feel small, I usually remind myself of what I am good at. Its a self defense mechinism. Last night Rob went lower than I've ever seen him before. He reminded me of the mean kids at school...who were part of the "beautiful people" and had mean streaks. There simply was no strategy involved when he sat there and made fun of Rupert while he fished. And even if he felt it was time for Rupert to go, there was no reason to try and make Rupert look and feel small. Rob is just a nasty immature person with no respect or empathy for others.

Dont forget Rupert scoffing at Ethan when Ethan tried to fish. Rupert is just as arrogant in terms of his attitude and he believes that he is the only one entitled to fish. His arrogance is there. I just find Rupert sneaky. His comments about Sue when she had her problem with richard. If you look at the insider video he kind of eggs his tribe on about Alicia. "Oh where's Alicia". I will take Rob any day over Rupert.

Rupert may have laughed at Ethan's one fish during private confessions...but he didn't blatantly ridicule Ethan...nor did he sit around with another tribe member and openly discuss Ethan's abilities and shortcomings. Rupert also didn't "decide" that Ethan wasn't worth a spear or bag of rice. Rob did all those things. And more. For me, there is no contest in the arrogance division. Rob wins again!

I'm with you Kep... There is a world of difference between talking about something in a private confessional (and probably being asked about it by the person behind the camera) and making snarky comments in front of others. I'm sorry, I will never like Rob, his attitude, his looks, or his game play.

Don't know where to post this, but here goes... Remember Kathy stating how happy they are, well why wouldn't they be, they have never been to TC - and only lost one player because she quit. Pretty hard to be sad when your tribe is winning everything. She acts like her tribe should be all happy too, well how can they be when they lose everything and make stupid decision to vote off the strong players when they don't know what MB will do next. I read in an interview with MB that he said "the players should play the game and not try to 'think ahead' of the game". I think he was talking about Mogo Mogo voting players off thinking there will be a merge. I mean come on Lex, does he really think those 3 women can win him anything??? Just my opinion.

Voting off Ethan was probably one of the dumbest moves I've ever seen. Lex is not thinking. C'mon Lex. What was going through your pierced nipple when you decided to oust your best athelete? Ethan is a little hyper, but he's a much better contender than Jerri or Shi Ann. Cr8ofdata, you are so right when you said there is no guarantee of what Mark Burnett plans to do. He's going to have a huge twist come up pretty soon I'm sure that will rock this tribe. Also, does Lex really believe that the women won't bind together and get rid of him? The ladies always do! Mogo Mogo is making the same mistake that the Ogakor made in the Survivor 2: Austrailia season, putting your trust in Jerri!!! Jerri's tribe did the exact same thing back in Austrailia. They let her take the lead and that tribe slowly deteriorated. If it hadn't been for Mike Skupin's injury they would have been totally wiped out. Jerri is not someone that can be counted on to lead.

Ethan would have been harmless later anyway. Yeah- he could win an individual immunity, but there are a lot of strong people left and he wouldn't have won them all. And he'd have been easy to get rid of anytime cause he didn't have any support really. Jerri is pretty non-threatening but I'd still drop her. She's sure not helping them win anything. And Kathy said that their stuff (Chapera's) was safe- she made it seem like she put pretty meaningless stuff down. But if they had lost- that would have more or less taken apart their shelter. I thought it was nice of Jenna/Chapera to bring Mogo Mogo a few items and leave them some extra rice. Pretty good move since they had to take something.

so glad ethan is gone! what a <>! dude you won your million and it was lex who carried you then. imho it would of been lex in final 2 if survivor hadn't of messed up on the q and a's. i couldn't believe ethan said jerry had his life in her hands and blah blah blah. wasn't that him crying last week after he lost a darn good lead going into the woods? i'm tired of kathy too. she is another one who thinks she is entitled. and this will top it off I LIKE JERRY THE MOST!!!! i love it how she irratates the others. for some reason i get such pleasure in how she gets under their skin.

I agree with Kaili -- I like Kathy, but her telling Chapera they would be fine w/out the stuff she wrote down and then finding out she wanted both the tarp and the parachute! Shame on her. She's lucky they didn't win. She would have lost any good will Chaerpa has toward her. If you're going to play hard, fine, but don't pretend that you're not.

I had to laugh at the image of Lex as Gollum...that is so funny and so true! I think Kathy and Shii Ann made a huge mistake last night. If they had voted out Jerri instead of Ethan it would have made Lex less confident about his standing and shown him that he should have been asking their opinion instead of telling them how to vote. He is getting too high-handed and that usually spells doom on Survivor. I thought he made a mistake getting rid of his strongest players at this point and I also think the other women made a mistake in not getting rid of Jerri.

I am with Maris. Rupurt sounded condensending to me when he said I hope he (Rob) catches one fish. Also the way he babied the sling, was disturbing. Rob may be cocky but at least he can walk the walk. Is there any physical challenge he isn't good at??? I haven't found Rupurt to do the same. Rob is definitely the strongest competitor this season. But unfortunately that also makes him the biggest target. His personality may grate on some people's (in this forum most people's) nerves, but he is still a good looking guy.

Good looks have nothing to do with the game. Just like how much or how little they need the money. It shouldn't be a determining factor.

I think Rob is more intelligent & physically skilled than Rupert. Both are very self-interested and manipulative but in different ways. Both have their own brand arrogance and neither seems particularly tender-hearted to me. Neither seems unequivocally awful to me either - both are generally decent people with occasional character slips. Rob is more glib & can be more cutting with words. Rupert seems to have more insecurities, which to me makes him scarier, not a better person.

you know I when watching Survivor Africa I thought Lex went a bit off the edge, got a little wacko. But when he returned home I was able to listen to him on our local radio station doing interviews and I really thought he was a nice guy, Extremely warm and compassionate and a people person. But tonight he showed his Survivor self again. I really didn't like him. He is totally wrong about the business vs. friendshiop thing. Since Lex and Ethan were good friend comming into this and fortunate enough to be put on the same tribe, he could have used that to his advantage. What a strong bond they could have had to bring them to the endgame. Isn't Survivor about alliences and trust??? Oh lex, you made a bad move...!!

Right Lauram. And despite his argument to the contrary, I don't think these people would vote for a previous winner. They should have stayed in this together and Lex would have come out the winner.

Sasha, you're absolutely right. He took that sling as if it belonged to HIM and then he sharpened it and customized it for his pleasure. And the way he started laughing about Rob catching ONE fish in a completely predatory way was just icky. People can dog Rob all they want to about arrogance, but at least he didn't dig into the beach to make a hut against the advice of his tribe. Which lost the reward challenge. And gave the other tribes things like tarps and blankets.

At this point in the game, I'm not really sure if I think any of the contestants are worthy to win. I know the premise is Outwit,Outplay,Outlast but on second acquaintance with their characters, I find myself feeling none of them should win. Rupert I find the least offensive but I am disappointed in how the SAS game has played out. Here's hoping MB does not reprise this idea again.I think I enjoy fresh players. No matter how good a meal is, it never tastes as good reheated the next day

These guys and their pissing contest regarding the fish is starting to grate on my nerves. I was rooting for Lex last week but now he is losing my favor. BR is smart and strong but his cockiness turns me off. Ethan is a great guy, not the least bit arrogant like some of the others. I know that some may say that is irrelevant but I never seem to root for the nasty ones. That's just me. Ethan worked his butt off more than Jerri and I think they should have booted her first. Roxip, I agree with you that the women made a huge mistake. I was surprised with their voting. The women are in the majority by 2 now. I wish they would ban together and show us some really smart strategic moves.
