How many are left? Hopefully we get a merge soon, particularly since the one team sucks ass.

I think we're at 12?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Fang will lose both challenges.

Sugar has to be one of the most immature people ever on Survivor. She just acts like she's about 10 all the time.

As a whole, there are more socially inept people in this season than any I remember.

At this point I would like anyone to win except Randy, Corinne, or Crystal. Any of those 3 winning would make me vomit.

Go Sugar!!!!

Nice blindside on Ace. I wasn't sure Sugar would go through with it.

Did Randy even get any letters? If he did, it was probably some bills or junk mail.

Yay, pompous Ace got the boot! Dan's paranoia got the best of him.

I think this (Ace) was the first blindside this season, which I thought was awesome.

I remember there were a bunch last season - Mikey B, Joel, Ozzy, etc.

Ace got a pretty raw deal on the immunity challenge. Not being able to see what the other guy on the barrel roll was doing put him at a huge disadvantage.

He was pretty dumb to face Sugar though. Given her previous performance he should have known she'd be the first off the barrel.

I do enjoy Sugar quite a bit, but nothing irks me more, even on silly, unimportant reality shows than someone literally not trying and topping that off by smiling during a challenge.

The girl that went last week was useless and simply had no athletic ability, but Sugar has some. She was good in that log roll event and no one expected her to even be among the top 3.

So that makes me more angry that she didn't bust her butt jumping around and hustling to try and break that ball.

I never get why people are interested or cast for a show like this who have the "it's only a game" attitude. Stay home if you feel that way. I know the want to fill their quota of having their token people who fit into a certain personality category and that's fine. But the one thing everyone should share is their total and complete desire to give everything they can to win once challenge time comes around.

Anyway, she has no chance of winning and Survivor has carried on the tradition of having far more eye candy for the women viewers than the men, so I'll get my fill while she's there. But I actually had been rooting for her and now I'm on the fence. If she does that again, I will hope she's rewarded with a quick exit from the game.

Jeff's post-vote comments frequently strike me as odd. For example, his comment re: the loser-tribe voting off Ace: something to effect of "21 days here and you're finally learning how to play the game?" Why? Because they blindsided Ace? Um, okay.

Letters after only a few weeks in.

Bring on the merge already.

Did Sugar write down Ace-Hole? They blurred something out. I assume it was that. I can't understand why they had Sugar in the middle on the one challenge. They couldn't require that all people do it since it was best 2 out of 3. I didn't really have a problem with her on that because it was obvious no matter how hard she tried, she wasn't going to even get to the person with the ball. They should of had Ace, Matty, and Crystal if anything.

Corrinne and Randy are getting cocky and I hope they get blindsided at some point. Anyone else get a Micheal Cera vibe from Dan? He just looks like he has absolutely no self confidence. Would anyone in their right mind want him as their lawyer. He seems like a nice guy but still.

I was wondering what Sugar wrote too. Ace was the better player, but he did say he had Sugar in his "pocket," which was stupid.

And really, why was Randy the only one not reading/crying? Kinda pitiful.

I like Bob. He's older and skeletal but he still goes all out on everything.

I like Corinne; maybe it's her feistiness. And I like Bob too.

Ah, that's a good point.

That is what I assumed as well.

I am glad they didn't beat the letters from home into the ground, like the did in the past.

Pretty smart of the power alliance in Kota to successfully get the tribe to split the vote for Dan and Susie in case Dan had the immunity idol.
