I don't know if they tried this or not, but if I was trying to convince Sugar the person I would have try talking to her is Bob. The others just seem shady.

Speaking of Bob, his fake idol was awesome.

Bob's idol was great. Hope it comes up in the future.

Smart to get rid of Charlie. Corrine's true colors will really start coming out now (that she's a complete bitch). Hopefully Bob can somehow stick around. Couldn't care less about Randy, Crystal, or Susie.

Charlie's infatuation with Marcus is a *bit* disturbing.

Another fun blindside!! Now Charlie can spend 100 % of his time lusting after a guy he will never have. Pathetic.

Yeah, Corrine is a real asshole. I hope she gets the boot soon.

Right now I like Kenny, Bob, and Sugar.

I love tonight. The look on Corrine's face says it all. I think Bob's HII is better than the real one.

Randy's comment when he held up his "C.C" vote was LOL funny.

Hope Marcus doesn't need to get a restraining order now that Charlie is in the jury house with him, just the two of them.

Should make for some interesting camp life w/ Randy and Crystal. The two biggest mouths in the game and they HATE each other.

Bob's idol was much better than Ozzie's!

I think Matty winning the immunity challenge last week really turned the game around.

No, what turned the game around was the stupid tribe switch that effectively punished the successful players and rewarded the sucky players. It's the same thing that got Michelle eliminated a few seasons ago. Everyone on Fang from day 1 was a bad, irrational player, and now those people are rewarded instead of picked off one by one.

Meh. Survivor has been doing this for years and if they were such good players they would have anticipated it and planned for it. How about not alienate Susie until you are merged and have the obvious advantage. They made it obvious that she was the bottom of their group and she had no incentive to stay loyal. That is on them. They got too arrogant, especially Corinne and Randy, and acted like their group was untouchable, entitled, and a lock for the final 5. So fuck 'em.

Bob needs to make a move and cut ties with the 2 assholes. I think he still has a shot if he can get in with some people, maybe Matty and Sugar.

The golf challenge looked fun.

Bob did a great job with that fake idol. It will be interesting to see if he can use it in some way.

And now that arrogance will likely flip to the other side. I really don't care who wins at this point as long as it isn't Crystal.

That's how I feel about Corrine.

Amen. Actually, that tribe split should have helped the tribe with the numbers if anything. That's if their group was a solid group, which it was not. I loved Kenny's response to Corinne saying that Marcus didn't deserve to go. I don't get why they didn't get Randy out this week. Old Fang knew Sugar didn't like him so that would be the easiest sell. I guess Kenny really is running things because he's the only one that would rather have Charlie out. I think Bob should just lay low right now. Randy and Corinne should be the next to go and then it would be 6 left. At that point he can start talking to whomever he trusts most and try to end up being a swing vote. There's a good chance he will be in the final 3.

I just watched the Ponderosa footage on cbs.com, and their relationship is odd. At one point Marcus says its like sharing a dream experience with your best friend. I know a straight guy and a gay guy can be friends but I can't really see them being that close. That's basically like a guy and girl being best friends. 99% of the time that doesn't work out. Someone always develops feelings and it gets in the way of the relationship.

I agree. Not to mention, Kota treated Sugar like dirt until they needed her vote. Don't you think Sugar was probably holding a bit of a grudge for them sending her to exile 6 or 7 straight times? Randy is stupidly burning bridges right and left (if there ever were any bridges to begin with). He's so abrasive and insulting, there's virtually no way he'd ever win a jury vote. I actually thought Corinne (even though I hate her) was smart enough to hide her bitchiness. Not so. Charlie at least keeps his mouth shut, but obviously isn't smart enough to see any danger coming his way. The only 2 really good players from Kota are Bob and Marcus, although Marcus was dumb coming at Crystal with his guns blazing for Ken. For me, the most likeable players are still in the game: Sugar, Matty, Ken and Bob.

OK, Randy is an ass. We already knew this, but every episode it gets more painfully obvious. The reward challenge incident with Matty was beyond absurd. Then he continued to beat the dead horse at tribal.

Kenny seems to getting a big head over the last couple of episodes. I think Matty is in a pretty good spot to win the thing. He can let Kenny piss everyone off and then swoop in late and take control.

Well, now that Sugar made her move, I think the power has completely shifted to her side. I imagine Randy is next since 1) Sugar wants him out and 2) He's on the team with fewer numbers.

Sugar has a strong chance of being in the final 3 now since she has the numbers AND the immunity idol. I agree with those above that Bob could still get far if he plays his cards right...and his fake idol. :P

He has. Plus Crystal always has that smirk after votes that you just want to smack off her face.

How do you expect him to use his fake idol? Matty, Kenny, and Crystal knows that Sugar has the HII. The only people he can fool with that fake idol are Randy and Corrine.

Well, he can convince Randy and Corinne that it is real and then use that to fool them and make a move to the other side.

Randy and Corrine will never try to vote him off, so why would he need to show them his fake idol? Do you expect Randy and Corrine to try to convince the other side to vote for Bob to fish out the idol or the blind-side the other team? The other team is controlling the game right now.

I just don't see any benefit Bob would get from the fake idol. The other team will be gunning for Corrine and Randy next. So the best move for him is to lay low and try to form an alliance with matty and sugar.

I'm surprised that it never occurred to Bob that Sugar's got the idol.

I thought he said that was a possibility after he couldn't find it.
