But the Barbie crew is absolutely no threat to him. They share one brain and all Rob has to do is be the one holding it at any given time and they're gone. They're really a waste of space in this game.

I don't understand how it was honoring Matt's god to give up all this thoughts (that he didn't wind up executing, not to mention outing Andrea) to Rob. Especially since after that he was shown hemming and hawing about what to do. God does not care about you on Survivor. Get over it!

I retract all the nice things I said about Matt. He's a moron and deserved to be voted out again. Yes, God was trying to send you a message -- "I don't give a flying shit about reality television, dude." At best, maybe he can win enough duels to get voted out a third time!

While that might have seemed like an interesting blindside, it's really set it up to be a pretty dull season. (I said this last season and was wrong - I hope I am again) There might be one or two interesting blindsides, but probably nothing game-changing, and without an idol, the five whatever-the-loser-team-used-to-be-called members are toast.

(eta -- As some have mentioned on other sites, Sarita might have generally sucked in challenges, but wasn't it convenient that Matt got a big old bandage to pad his foot for a tiny little cut that might have made the duel a little bit easier for him?) Updated On: 4/8/11 at 10:58 AM

I'm still not quite sure I get the vilification of Sarita. Unless there was just a lot of terrible stuff not shown on tv, I don't understand why she was the one everyone turned on. And I don't think a person has been booted with more grace than her this season.

Rob needs to realize that if he brags or if his ego gets bigger it could be the downfall for him when comes to the jury votes like in "All Stars"

This season is getting less and less intereting every week.

[Calvin]

Posted: 4/14/11 at 12:32am

Yup. Worst since Thailand. Phillip's crazy is not entertaining in the least, and I can't take any more kowtowing to the homophobe. I think tonight might be my official checkout from the season. I think just reading the summaries will suffice from this point.

In two weeks it will just be Rob, his whores, Philip and that hot sexy stud Grant and we'll get to watch Rob pick them off one by one until he's in the final two with one of the whores who will win a million dollars for doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in the game except not being Rob.

Grant should have flipped tonight, it was the only chance he had at staying in this game.

It's weird watching how they all do what Rob says. It really looks like a cult. No one is allowed to be left alone, he doesn't let them eat their food, he has them hating the other team. It sounds like Scientology.

[Calvin]

The show's heavy-handed editing indicates to me that they might turn on Rob -- but probably not until they're down to four. And we're going to be left with Phillip, who makes my skin crawl every time he's on the screen, and two of the three girls who don't even have a distinct enough personality for me to have figured out their names by this point (unless their names are That Girl Who Liked Matt At First, Spa Girl 1 and Spa Girl 2).

And Redemption Island to this point seems to have been a time-wasting bust.

Which one's the homophobe this season? As bad as Shannon from last season?

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

Posted: 4/14/11 at 11:51am

None of these people have a thought in their head, Doodle. Well, except Phillip, who hears the thoughts of a Cybil-esque amount of people in his head.

[Calvin]

Posted: 4/14/11 at 12:42pm

doodle, that would be Rob, who revealed himself as one in his first season and has never really done anything to dispel it (as far as I know)

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Posted: 4/14/11 at 1:02pm

Yeah, it's becoming pretty torturous. I am total agreement about Phillip. It's really uncomfortable to watch. He reminds me of Sarah Palin the way he seems to string words together without any actual regard for meaning. He's clearly relishing being "in" for the first time in his life, leading to his downright nasty diatribes at council that still lack almost any semblance of sense.

So now there are three people on Redemption Island? WTF is that about?

Also, that Dave is really a puzzle monster, just like he said. Two other people trying to solve that puzzle and he didn't come close to beating either of them. Idiot.

Is there any rule against tampering with the food supply? Because were I on the wrong side of an us vs. them situation on there, and was about to be the last one voted out, I think my last step would be dumping their food supply on the ground and accidentally starting a fire too close to the shelter to give them a really pleasant last week or so together.

Crazy ass NaOnka stole the rice and cooking utensils when she thought she was going and didn't suffer any penalty other than the tribe being pissed at her. I'm thinking that someone did something to the rice in one of the really early years. Anyone?

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Posted: 4/14/11 at 1:47pm

This is my first season watching with Russell on it, so I can't be certain, but I thought I heard he messed with the food during one of his previous times on the show?

[Calvin]

Posted: 4/14/11 at 1:55pm

I didn't watch Russell's first season, either, but didn't he hide somebody's clothes or something like that?

I know in the second season they basically lost everything because they built their camp in a dry riverbed that flooded, but I don't remember anyone really pulling out a full scorch-the-earth game, which is surprising.

Of course Rob is the homophobe...he was mean to the dreamy John Carroll in Marquesas. I assumed there was another one.

[SonofMammaMiaSam]

Posted: 4/14/11 at 2:34pm

I'm sure that Matt, the bible beater is but since there aren't any mo's this season, it hasn't come up.

[Calvin]

Posted: 4/14/11 at 2:35pm

Well, no others that we know about -- it's hard to tell, as the show hasn't had a gay cast member since Spencer (though, as Shannon proved last season, you don't need one to reveal the ugliness).

"Rob pick them off one by one until he's in the final two with one of the whores who will win a million dollars for doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in the game except not being Rob."

Actually, there's going to be a final three. Jeff Probst said that he perfers that over a final two. It really would not be smart for Rob to take Natalie, the brunette, to the final three because she will win for not pissing anyone off. He wants to take Phillip because he knows that no one will vote for him to win.

After watching tonight's episode I'm done with this season of Survivor.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Posted: 4/21/11 at 12:50am

I was feeling that way, too, Dottie. This episode just made me uncomfortable.
