Just a bad move. Sarita is worthless, I really thought they'd wise up there. It's Russell's curse.

Dave is starting to get on my nerves although he may be right. You can't keep a cancer like Stifinie around though.

They keep saying that. Russell was a cancer, Krista was a cancer, Steph was a cancer...

Now that they are all gone, they should be the best team ever now, right? I hope they lose everything til the merge, and I hope anyone that makes it to the merge somehow are the first to go. Their tribe is awful.

I think getting rid of Stephanie was the right move. It's more important to have people who are loyal to you than it is to have people that are good in challenges. Besides it's not like Stephanie is Ozzy in challenges. I don't think there is that much difference between the two of them, and Stephanie would flip on them at a moment's notice.

If the merge happens soon they'll be glad they kept Sarita.

Agreed. But this is where Redemption Island could hurt them. I still think Matt would stick with his own tribe. If Stephanie sends Matt home (Sarita never would), then she'll flip and stick with Rob's team. Either way, Rob's team is in a great place.

The guy I think may be trouble is Grant. He's way under the radar. But surely Rob'll sell him out the first chance he gets that it's safe.

If Matt comes back, I think where he goes depends on Andrea. I give her credit for doing a really good job of keeping her mouth shut. Then again, supposedly Rob and Matt had a good long talk at the last Redemption Island thing. And he did really bond with Krista, who hated her tribe. Basically, I don't think we know yet what Matt is going to do.

It would be funny if he got blindsided twice by the same group though.

As for Stephanie coming back and joining Rob...it's better she does that then betray you as one of your six. At least you really know where she stands in that situation.

Yeah they could be looking at a 7-5 or even 7-4 advantage if they win the next challenge or two (and the RI winner comes back on their side)... though the other tribe will have loyalty (which may just serve to galvanize everyone else as anyone who would flip over to that alliance would clearly know they are an outsider living on borrowed time)

The Ralph tribe shouldn't have thrown a challenge early on and knowing they now have no margin for error heading into the merge they should have stuck with their best shot at winning before the merge. Their fate is pretty much dependent on winning the next challenge or two and having the numbers post merge... If they lose even just one more challenge, they likely start getting picked off post merge unless they somehow can tun the immunity idol into a blindside.

Agreed, they a merged tribe will target him immediately seeing as he's probably the biggest individual challenge threat in the game. I know that he and Steve both played in the NFL, but Grant is killing in the challenges right now. He is like Ozzy and Colby's dreadlocked love child!

I am not too worried about that. If the merges happens when there are 10 players left (3 finalists and 7 jurors), then even if Zapetera loses the next two challenges, they will be down 6-4 entering the merge. All they have to do is flip one person from Ometepe to create a 5-5 deadlock which isn't impossible if you approach the bottom of the Ometepe 6 (i.e., Crazy Phil or Andrea). This isn't even counting the RI player who anticipate will be Matt, but I have no clue where his loyalties would be.

Wow, that nurse is an Über bitch. I love how she equated being in pageants to being hard work. What a waste of space.

I can see where Phil is coming from, but his bat-shit crazy approach destroys any valid points that he does have. If he's acting for the camera in order to get more screen time, then he's killing it. However if he really is like that in real life, yeesh.

Finally, all the jesus talk.

First Ressell, then Krasta, now Stifinie. It looks like Dayved may be next in line after sticking his neck out for Stif. Not a good time to single yourself out in that tribe.

I'm guessing the merge will happen in two weeks, which would mean either Matt, Stephanie, or the person voted out next week will be the one returning. That would give us a 3-person finale and a 9-person jury, as it has been the past few seasons. So I don't think any tribe is going to have that big of an advantage at the merge. There are potential flippers on both sides (Matt, Andrea, Phillip, David), so the game can go any which way.

If a team blindsided a person earlier in the game, it can't really be considered a blindside if they vote that same person out again.

yeah I was chuckling too. Didn't realize it was so "painful" to have to hear the name Jesus for less than 5 min on a tv show.

No, she clearly blamed God for her loss not the son. And why doesn't the Holy Ghost ever get any love? I swear if I ever make it on a reality show every shout-out will be to that neglected third-stringer in the holy trifecta.

I'm sad that Sarah Silverman is gone as she was the only one on that sorry tribe with any fire in her.

I think it is more of the "if I win, it is the will of god" type talk. Just like people playing football. They get a win and suddenly god wanted them to win and the other team to lose. It's just so asinine that that kind of talk gets old quite quickly.

I read someone saying that it was a miracle from god that some Japanese girl found her dog after the tragedy there. I guess they forgot that god let 10,000 or more people die but thank goodness he gave the dog back to that little girl. It's thinking like that that drives me batty. And it is even worse that such a large number of people in the world actually think that way. Sorry for the derail.
