Synopsis:

A contestant becomes emotional when he is confronted about his past; a new alliance is formed as another one is broken; a contestant is eliminated.

Maybe it's the editing, but Ozzy is looking like an ass lately. I think he's trying to be Rob ("likable" prick), but he just comes across as a prick.

The RI challenges are just stupid at this point with all the poor players. They waste too much time there, giving worthless players too much air time.

Surprised to see Albert go out when he did--just lost concentration, I guess.

Kind of a lame vote but she wasn't part of the circle.

Fandango

Elyse looked amazing!

I never found Rob likable.

It seems like the more well-liked players return to Survivor, the more dickish they get. Thinking of Rupert and James from Heroes vs Villains. (If that was someone's first Survivor, they would probably be wondering how those two wound up on the Heroes team. Oddly enough, Rob actually came off as likable on that one.)

Then, you have someone like Coach who seems to realize how he came off the first time around is actually working to change his image for the better.

And, yes, Elyse is fucking adorable. (She competed in a Miss America pageant a few years back, representing Washington and got in a bit of trouble when a picture of her surfaced giving the finger while wearing her tiara.)

I continue to enjoy this season so far. Random thoughts:

--I'm not sure why such a big deal was made of the swimsuits.

--I thought for sure that Dawn would win the challenge for her team after the bit about her feeling like Rudy. Still cool to see it come down to her and Stacey since both felt like they were on the chopping block.

--I hope Stacey sticks around. She amused me with the way she seemed to keep her lips sealed most of the time, but waited until someone turned their back or the cameras were put directly on her to let it all out.

--The attempted hug thing at the end was one of the most hilarious/awkward moments ever witnessed. It was also funny to hear Coach suggest it, and see everyone leap to their feet without hesitation.

--What's with the ridiculous "Tell me the most annoying thing about..." lines at TC from Probst? Seems like such a cheap way to stir things up. And it's unnecessary, at least from what we've seen from this group already.

Red Dog

Yeah - Probst is really starting to annoy me more and more.

Eddie W

Isn't this the first time that's happened on Survivor? If I had been wearing the same underwear for a week or so by now, I'd be escstatic at a new swimsuit.

Josh-da-man

I suppose it's possible that Probst has always asked questions like that, but it was never aired. From what I understand, those tribal councils run for hours and we only see heavily edited portions.

Yeah, Coach is looking good this time, except for the awkward hug thing (assuming he orchestrated the vote-off as well). Jonathan and Eliza also struck me as former contestants who really boosted their images the second time around.

Women and new clothes--what's not to like? Women and bikinis--what's not for the viewers to like?

madcougar

Man Brandon is such a wack job.

JayDerek

I've never felt more uncomfortable for the other players than I do when I see him. Man, I hope he gets booted soon

Jeremy's Power Rankings after episode four.

1	Sophie	Likeable, getting a friendly edit, seems like she'll do well strategically
2	Cochran	Standard contestant-looks-weak-and-in-trouble-in-early-episodes-but-makes-a-deep-run contestant.
3	Dawn	Might rise up the chart if she isn't on the wrong side of alliance numbers
4	Mikayla	Probably just getting a friendly edit because she was the primary target of Brandon's craziness, but she gets the benefit of the doubt for now.
5	Coach	Would be a favorite to win if Rob hadn't won last season and if it wasn't likely that Coach is gonna Coach.
6	Jim	Sorry Jim, but three is less than four. He'll probably go down for scheming too much.
7	Ozzy	Still sucks as strategy, and too big of a threat to win individual immunities.
8	Elyse	Interchangable young woman #1
9	Whitney	Interchangable young woman #2
10	Edna	On the outside looking in.
11	Brandon	Might go far due to people wanting to sit alongside him in the final, but too crazy to win.
12	Keith	Too invisible.
13	Albert	No confessionals in the first four shows means you have no chance.
14	Moustache	Was he even in the first three episodes?
15	Christine	Dead woman walking
16	Stacy	Dead woman walking

Details have emerged about the format for the next season:

madcougar

I wonder which one of Russell Hanz' relatives will be included in this cast.

davidh777

Russell's twin sister, the mother of Little Russell (joking: I know nothing about that family tree)

TheBang

I was surprised when they quietly added a new member named Rick to the tribe at tribal council.

LiquidSky

Is that the first time we have actually heard him speak?

Joeboo835

My eight year old daughter who watches the show with me said "Who's that guy on the end? Is he in the game?"

Joeboo835

The Hantzs like to cry a lot.

Shannon Nutt

Unless it's Keri Russell, I don't care.

sven

Sophie looks just like my cousin Seth.

Double_Oh_7

She's related to Russell Hantz? Because her last name is his first name??

Goat3001

Anyone watching this season of Dexter? Doesn't the bad guy for this season remind you of Brandon? Just a psycho Catholic that cries a lot?

DJariya

I just watched this episode tonight and Brandon is so fucking stupid. The apologies and religious rants along with the crying...C'mon dude, did someone steal his balls?

Russell was an asshole, but he knew how to play the game well. Brandon is coming across as a weak pussy.

at Stacey turning down Coach's hug at Tribal. I was so sure Edna was dead meat coming into it.
