Sad to see Candice go. I mentioned it before, but I didn't see the season she was on previously. She looked to be really strong, but she and John were sabotaged by not being inserted into the cast until the last minute.

It's painful to watch Rupert's wife. She looks lost out there. Her attempts to interact and/or stir things up failed miserably.

Yeah, if Kat can see through Laura's ruse, you know it has to be bad.

No doubt. She's a HORRIBLE actor. She acts the way actors act when they pretend they're acting. Those returning players see right through that garbage.

I wonder if the producers are kicking themselves for allowing the loved ones to swap places. They would love to have Rupert back.

I loved Kat doing her best Kenny from South Park imitation at the end.

I still have no memory of Laura M. from her previous season or even this season, for that matter.

I wasn't following this show that closely - what does the title of this episode and the description refer to?

Who sacrificed their own life in the game for a loved one?

Well from now on she'll be remembered as the cougar that was stalking Aras.

Glad to see that the million dollars hasn't changed Aras. He's still a douche.

I think mrs the culpepper volunteered herself to swap with him.

Why do the castaways get medical treatment for a dislocated shoulder but not for large scrapes and foot fungus? They're allowed sunscreen, tampons, and condoms but still don't get to brush their teeth. Is avoiding permanent tooth decay really going to affect the game?

I have no recollection of her either but I do know that she's hot. Can't believe she has a daughter that age.

If me and McGyver can figure out how to keep up dental hygiene regimen while abandoned on an island I don't see why Survivor contestants can't figure it out either.

I believe it is in reference to redemption island. Normally someone voted out wouldn't be able to mix things up, but when they are voted to redemption island, they can somehow still air dirty laundry. ie. Candice talked about how Brad was controlling things from what she heard form others voted out, and it had a small part in leading to his exile to RI.

At the start of the game, Rupert traded places with his wife at RI when she was sent there. Otherwise, no one else has done so.

Considering that was his 4th time playing and he may get a 5th or 6th shot down the line I feel like Rupert would have been a douchebag if he didn't trade places with his wife.

Thank god for the opportunity for them to swap. That saved us from having to endure Rupert even longer.

I always see them with some kind of self-made toothbrush. It's like a piece of palm frond with the end tapered and feathered.

I'm going to miss Candice. Sucks that a stupid stunt and pre-game alliances that shouldn't be allowed torpedoed her chances even before she showed up.

The scene with Katie's foot fungus reminded me of The Fly when everything was falling off Jeff Goldblum.
