Well, I did not notice it until the screen caps were sent to me ...

Nobody notices nudity on national TV unless it is a celebrity performing at the biggest sporting event in the country. Only at that time are our children are in danger from the realization that humans have boobies or wee-wees.

Boy, Charlie just gets creepier and creepier with this weird, stalker-ish devotion to Marcus.

[DBillyP]

That was the single most pathetic performance in a challenge EVER.

^ so true. wat were crystal and kenny doing just sitting there?

kenny-should have gone home a long time ago. why is he still there?

crystal-right next to the goal ALL 3 times. c'mon, like she didnt see randy at the goal. at least be in front of it?

[adamgreer]

Posted: 10/9/08 at 9:34pm

They were all just kind of floating around- Crystal, Kelly, GC (the most irritating person around), and Kenny.

All of them should be gone.

I am kind of happy, however, that all the irritants, and people I dislike, seem to have ended up on one tribe. Pity we couldn't get Charlie over there.

Randy just freaks me out. During those challenges his aggression is... creepy, I guess. I feel like he could be a rapist.

These people are a bunch of dumb asses. Ace with his stupid fake morphing accent (even though I do think he's kinda sexy - feh); Kenny saying "we need strong people" when he weighs nine pounds and then voting for someone with strength who actually worked at the challenge; Crystal and her big bad Olympic attitude when she just sucks effing rocks most of the time; GC who is dumber than a box of rocks that Crystal sucks; Charlie and his dumb ass crush on Marcus. Gah. I think I hate just about everyone on this show, much like I hate just about everyone on Amazing Race this year.

Oh, and Jeff is an asshole, too. Two weeks in a row he's voiceovered how they "chose" to lead them, when HE foisted it upon them. Ugh.

This season better shape up soon or I may just bail.

I've missed the past few seasons - so maybe my expectation is lower - but I am enjoying this one quite a bit.

I am a little surprised that there are so many "bulge" shots of the guys in their cotton underwear. Not bothered by it, mind you, but surprised. We never got that in the Colby/Austrailia days.

Poor Sugar got screwed over thrice -- being picked last, being sent to Exile Island and getting stuck with a new team of idiots. Lucky she has the idol.

[doodlenyc]

I think it's lame when they have to reshuffle tribes so early. I'm glad the bro-mance is intact and they still have Corrine...I think Marcus is playing a good game so far and am interested to see how he handles Charlie's big crush.

I always enjoy seeing an alliance completely misread a situation like Ken Chrystal and GC did. Get rid of the athletic girl who is as devoted as the lame one to your alliance and ignore the fact that, dumb blonde or not, the likelihood of Sugar having the idol is pretty good. They deserve what they get from here on out...dumb move.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

I liked when Crytal got defensive about her poor performance in the challenge and blamed it on it not being her "cup of tea."

I HATE THEM ALL!

[BroadwayGuy12]

Posted: 10/10/08 at 4:04pm

They really should have sent Kelly home over Jacquie. Kelly contributed nothing to the challenge, and has a bad attitude at the camp (the same can be said for GC and Kenny, who both deserve to go home).

And I really don't like Ace, but there's no denying that he was the star player at the challenge last night. Too bad he's so darn annoying.

Did anyone else feel bad for Bob last night, when he was ranked so high by his tribe but then no one wanted to pick him when the switched? He was a great asset around camp; I don't understand why his former tribe mates didn't pick him sooner.

[NYadgal]

Posted: 10/13/08 at 3:23pm

Just catching up on last week's episode...

Are they nuts? What a stupid move voting Jacquie off.

GC, Kenny and Crystal are among the WORST players I've ever seen on this show. Stupid and attitude. What a combination!

Didn't like that they mixed up the tribes so early in the show. Think it would have been more interesting to watch the dynamics play out, now that Fang was starting to win.

I'm a fan of Bob's. There's just something about him I really enjoy!

[Calvin]

Posted: 10/13/08 at 3:39pm

I don't understand why his former tribe mates didn't pick him sooner.

It wasn't their decision. Because of the back-and-forth pick method, it was former Fangs picking from the former Kodas.

[adamgreer]

Posted: 10/13/08 at 6:49pm

Bob reminds me of Yao-man, which means he'll go pretty far, but won't win, because they'll be terrified to take him to the final two. I'm still rooting for him, though.

GC, Kenny, and Crystal all need to leave very soon because they're lazy, annoying, and full of themselves. GC is playing to an embarrassing stereotype (the "lazy black man"), Kenny is a socially awkward nerd ("I'm picking her because she's hot!"), and Crystal is an embarrassment to all Olympic athletes ("that challenge wasn't really my cup of tea").

Admittedly, they showed a bit of intelligence when they actually had the foresight to plan for what would happen if Sugar found the idol. However, wouldn't it have been smart for them to vote off Ace immediately, thereby breaking up that partnership? Sugar would not be there to play the idol to protect Ace, and he'd be completely blind-sided. But, they don't think logically.

I like all of the viewpoints, but am not agreeing on some. I think Kenny is playing the game fantastically. He picked Kelly because she knew Kelly, although a former Kota, would vote with Fang. The "hot" part was a cover. You should be able to notice, as actors, what these people are thinking. Ace, although a total antagonist, is really helpful at camp. Crystal, Kenny and GC made the right choice. If they kicked Ace out they'd be starving and uncomfortable. They still couldn't trust Jacquie totally, but they knew Kelly would vote with them over Ace and Sugar any day. Jacquie didn't invest in them enough to earn their trust. Sugar's really smart in sticking with Ace, so long as she knows when to jump ship. I'm really disliking Dan. He's retarded. He's supposed to be a lawyer, and yet he cannot read the game for his life. Marcus is playing a great game: being the true leader in spirit, thus choosing who will go home, but not being the leader on the surface, thus sparing himself from elimination: basically what Dan wanted to do but couldn't because he's retarded. Kelly was immensely stupid picking on GC and Crystal at tribal, and was lucky to get away with it. If I where them, I'd just switch my vote from Jacquie to Kelly. Kelly showed she was not willing to be loyal, which is tell tale for betraying them (when/if) they make it to the merger. Matty, although promising, is not playing the game right. He's just not thinking enough. He has everything else going for him. Bob is playing a good game. He's bound to be underestimated by his tribe once again. It may mean they don't think of him as a threat and let him stay, only for him to dupe them and win the game. It may also mean that he'll be deemed worthless (not out of the picture, unfortunately) and get the boot early. Susie is making the best decision by working hard and keeping quiet. It earns her major points. She might have a chance of winning if they underestimate her enough (doubtful, but still). Randy is smart and does well in challenges, but he's kind of a douche and a drama starter. Charlie is hardly even playing the game: he's just fawning over Marcus. Marcus is smart to keep him their as a vote. This leaves me to gush over my favorite, Corrinne. She is amazing. She is playing everyone, she's reading people, she's forming alliances, she's anaylzing each move and she's in it to win. She is my pick for the final two, if not the winner. That's my rant, thanks, good night, I'll be here all week.

As an actor, I've noticed that Ace's accent is wildly inconsistent.

[StockardFan]

Posted: 10/14/08 at 6:37pm

GAH!

My cable company is in a tiff with CBS and I haven't seen this in 2 weeks now. I'm starting to get really po'ed.

[adamgreer]

Posted: 10/14/08 at 7:05pm

StockardFan, the full episodes are online, just so you know, at cbs.com.

At least one of the players has pointed out how wildly inconsistent Ace's accent is, and most viewers, I think, recognize it as some bizarre ploy. I love when he called their loss in a recent challenge a "strategic withdrawl."

[StockardFan]

Posted: 10/14/08 at 9:12pm

Thanks, Adam. I knew that, but my stupid laptop disconnects from the freaking internet whenever I try to watch a video of any kind on-line, so it would probably take me like 5 hours to watch it.

I think I need to snag my husband's computer and watch.

It's just so aggravating....LOL

[myshikobit]

Posted: 10/17/08 at 2:47pm

Haha, I knew G.C. had screwed himself over and had no chance of winning, but I never thought he'd implode. Next to go is probably Kelly. The preview showed us that Ace has all the power, so he'll be around for a while now, unless he does something really stupid. The problem is that you can't win if you peek before the merge, so Ace just killed his chances. I'd watch Corrinne: she's been playing the game perfectly. Dan bugs me more every week, and his annoyingly amount of team spirit has made him a target for elimination. I'll be elated if he goes before Susie. As much as I can speculate, there's nothing even close to an official exucution order list, which makes this season spectacularly interesting.

Before the show started, Jeff was on The CBS Morning Show discussing the new cast..when they got to Corrine, Jeff said she is the one we that the audience won't like, that she is not a nice person and loves being mean. So they ask Jeff if it was just an act? A strategy? And Jeff thought about it and said, "No, it's not an act. She is the kind of person that would be insulted if you said they were nice"

So all season I'm looking to hate her and...nothing..She's kind of dull. I'm thinking it's gonna get ugly after the merge.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Posted: 10/17/08 at 3:10pm

So, as actors, what was their motive for not flushing out the idol that they knew Sugar had?

[Mister Matt]

Posted: 10/17/08 at 3:33pm

Ace put a target on himself way too early in the game and will probably have to rely on individual immunities to make it after the merge. Marcus and Corinne are definitely the ones to watch. Both are playing well and remaining under the radar, especially considering how they keep winning challenges and stirring up very little drama. If Charlie can hold on to his alliance with Marcus, he could find himself in an F2 with Marcus because honestly, who would vote Charlie to win out of that duo?

Bob is great, but he would definitely have a difficult time getting to F2 without winning the final immunity. I have a feeling Matty will paint himself into a corner with alliances. Either he will align himself with one too many people and they'll turn on him, or his alliance will get picked off and he'll get Stephenied. Dan started out pretty strong, but as of now, he might be one of those who ends up causing his own demise. Randy has to go. Not only is he detestable, but he is cunning. He's not one of those stupid awful people you want to keep around because nobody would ever vote them the winner (AMANDA) but he is one who could end up pulling the rug right out from under you (CHRIS).

I love how Susie is the new Lydia. I like her and I'll cheer her on even though there is no way in hell she'll win. She'll probably get strung along for her vote for while, though. And Sugar...do you honestly think Ace will take you to F2? Seriously? The only way he would do that is if you ask him how to vote every week and become a worthless bitch that nobody likes. Oh, wait... Seriously, the only way she could have sucked worse at that immunity challenge is if she just stood there and said nothing at all. I sort of wondered why nobody ever brought this up after the challenge. I mean, GC saying he wanted to go home was not a huge surprise, so when they were discussing votes, why didn't anyone say, "Did you notice how completely useless Sugar has been in the last few challenges? What does she do besides hang out with Ace?" Or maybe they did say it and we never saw it. Whatever. That Fang alliance changes their strategy week to week. Last week, they kept someone strictly for numbers. This week, they vote out one of their own. They are doomed for failure.

[adamgreer]

Posted: 10/17/08 at 3:42pm

You know, I honestly thought that Fang was about to make a wise decision last night, in realizing that that was their ONE chance to blindside Sugar. But then....they disappointed me. I would love to know what their rationale for not voting out Sugar was.
