I hope they have to mix up tribes. Will be fun to see the reaction of "The Four".

These people do not know how to play the game. It is really sad.

That's why I never understand why people develop deep big alliances so early in the game. You have to figure on a reshuffle.

Loved that challenge.

Why do most of the people voted out think they are on the cusp of winning the whole thing? If it's this early and they are voting you out it's not because you are a threat, it's because you suck.

But didn't the original Fang alliance pretty much admit that Jackie was voted out because she was a threat, not because she sucked?

Oh PLEASE let the preview for next week not be another lame fake tease

That's my fault. I was confusing Kelly and Jacquie.

Yay! At least the non-Sugar blonde conundrum is finally settled with tonight's boot-off.

First Michelle, now Jacquie. This show is losing its eye-candy way too soon in the season.

With the exception of the waterpolo/lacrosse challenge, I thought that was a fairly boring episode. That challenge looked like fun!

When it was down to Kelly & Jacquie, my only thought was "It's too early for me to even really be able to tell the difference between the two," so I fast-forwarded to the final vote & didn't really care.

Nice work by Randy scoring all 3 goals, and he acted like he'd just scored the winning goal in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup.

It always takes me until at least the merge to remember everyone's name. I'm terrible with names. I can only name Ace & Sugar off the top of my head at this point. Everyone else is the professor, asian guy, gay guy, guy that gay guy loves, etc....

Can you imagine if one of the contestants voted by writing down such descriptors instead of the name of the person they want off the island? Hilarious. Can you see Probst reading it, and grin through the reading of the vote?

I'm kinda glad the skinny girls are going first. They will turn into Skeletor after the second week or so, anyway. I predict that Sugar will deteriorate nicely as time progresses. I hope they keep her around.

Is that the earliest they've ever shuffled the teams? Only 3 people had been voted out at that point. I don't recall it being done that soon. I think the shuffle added some interest to the game due to the nature of the original 2 tribes. The lacrosse-on-a-raft challenge was fun. Is Crystal really an actress portraying an Olympic champion? She's not doing a particularly good job of it if that's the case.

It should have taken about 10 seconds to figure out Kelly is the one that looks, acts, and sounds retarded and Jacquie was the one with the really nice tits and a functioning brain.

For a former Olympic athlete, Crystal sure does tire out easily.

A lot of athletes let themselves go after they stop competing. They indulge in the things they couldn't.

Plus she was a sprinter wasn't she? Endurance probably wasn't her thing.

She still looks pretty buff from what I have seen, especially for someone with kids. And yet she can't even run up a hill....

She's a sprinter. She can probably only last 10-20 seconds.

Thanks for that. Nothing too surprisingly, but it is an interesting read.

Bah. The only two women I think are good looking are sugar and the amazon.

There are some dumb contestants this season. it was painfully obvious that marcus was doing great. So why didn't the other survivors model their paddling after him? Ken was standing up and gently brushing the water with his paddle... dumb.
