"You're sick and you got attitude?" "Triumphant? Would that be a word?"

Ozzy's such a badass.

James hasn't really learned anything from his first go-around.

Ozzy is the best physical competitor that has ever been on Survivor (at least in water based challenges...).

I just don't understand the moves Joel is making. It's way too early in the game to make moves like that. He's overplaying.

Next week's preview...

Spoiler:
While the reorganization may help him in terms of the strength of his tribe, he's proven himself to be shady way too early in the game.

at these fans. "I'm just -- I'm very intuitive, and I know a lot of stuff. Just because I do, because I'm born with it." I can't believe that worked! Poor Jason. He's the only one left with any sense.

I love how someone finds a way to almost kill Eliza in every challenge.

What happens in the preview sucks, though. That's no fun.

It worked because Tracy is kind of awesome. Of course, it helps that Joel is a strategic retard who can't tell he's being played, but it's doesn't take away from the fact she knew who she was dealing with and "reasoned" with him accordingly.

I like Tracy too, but aligning with two absolute losers on Day One wasn't exactly the height of strategery. She played Joel well, but she was very lucky to have a paranoid mental midget like Joel to play in the first place. I just wish
Spoiler:
they weren't getting shuffled up next week. It would be fun to watch them suffer loss upon loss after voting off two of their most capable people. I don't mind that the game becomes randomly more difficult for certain people in the game, but I hate that it becomes randomly easier for others. It's fine to throw someone a curveball, but you shouldn't get bailed out for complete stupidity.

Ozzy is the man once again.

These fans are about the dumbest fans that they could have found. Sadly, I had a feeling about that spoiler coming after the inane vote.

Joel is paranoid, but what's Peter Frampton's lovechild's excuse?

well, I think the fan's tribe broke into young vs. old very quickly so Tracy, Chet and Kathy was basically ostracized by the 7 young members in the beginning. I mean, building two shelters kind of told the story. I don't think she had any choice but to go with what she had.

Did they even show the two younger women from the fan's tribe? I didn't even think they were at Tribal council until they showed their vote.

Truth! Makes you really wonder if

Spoiler:
the producers planned the tribe switch-up, or it was something they did on the fly because they were sensing the "fans" were falling apart.


Ozzie showed lots of smarts tonight. Very clever strategy with the water challenge. And James the puzzle solver!

Ozzie is the man. Plain and simple. Him and James on the same team is just unfair for anyone else. Especially considering the other team is dumb enough to vote out one of their best players in order to keep the waste of spaces in Chet and Kathy around. Like I said before, these fans are playing the game way too early. They need to step back and make their tribe stronger by addition by subtraction first before they worry about strategy. I hope Joel gets the ax soon, he is by far the worst strategist this season. Lucky for him he'll make it to the merge based on strength alone.

Oz kicked ass!

Chet is usless and should have been booted off.

It seems like the fans are trying to "think too much". Its like they're trying to prove they are Survivor strategy masters.

I liked James alot until he managed to get voted off while holding TWO hidden imunity idols. Then I simply thought he was a dumb ass. Now I think he is an asshole and goes home next. Him and Cire are my too least favorite Survivors this season.

Does that make me a racist?

Yes. You just don't understand their culture.

I cackled when James said to Eliza (something like) "You're sick and you got an attitude?"

No, it makes you intuitive!

You know what's really sad? Only 6 people voted in this week's Survivor poll.

James to Eliza "You're sick and you got an attitude?" That was fucking classic. She is so lucky the Favorites didn't lose the IC.

Mr Hulk is one dumbass. I think the Fans are lucky to be saved by the split next week, especially Chet that useless idiot.

Kathy knew exactly how to play Roid Rage (my pet name for him). When she said, "I don't understand why you are letting him tell you what to do" it was all over. At that point, he had to prove he was in control, so he was going to do exactly what Kathy told him to do. That was a brilliant bit of manipulation albeit with an incredibly easy target. The roids have obviously sizzled that idiot's brains if he ever had any to begin with.

I hope the whole fans tribe gets voted out one by one, they are all idiots. Chet should be gone already.

Agreed. It's almost frustrating to watch. When I watch the show I take the perspective of being a tribe member. If I was in this tribe I'd friggin' lose it. It may be the dumbest tribe every assembled.

I'm pretty sure it was Tracy manipulating Joel (Kathy's the one who always get sent to Exile Island). But it was a brilliant move - she watched Joel enough to know exactly what buttons to push, and she played it perfectly. Tracy's the one member of the "fans" that deserves better, and could go really far. Her physical game seems pretty strong too (for a woman).

I can't wait for Joel to go home. I don't hate him in the "he makes a good villain" sense, but in the "get the hell off my tv" way. The guy seems like a real-life bully and asshole. Once he gets mixed with the favorites, I'm hopeful he gets the Jean-Robert treatment (reserved for annoying big guys who think they're smarter than they are).

It's like they deliberately cast scrubs to make the Favorites seem even more amazing by comparison. Or maybe it's just become impossible to find halfway decent competitors.

Whatever, the Favorites are keeping my interest.
