Well nobody started a thread, so I guess I'll start it. Talk about the merged tribe here.

Russell was sure scrambling tonight and must have shown his HII to 1/2 of old Galu. Too bad Laura won IC or she might have gone. Her feud with Shambo is bad
for Foa. They seemed to connect with Shambo, plus Russ and Natalie worked on Laura so with the 4 Foa's left plus Laura and Shambo, they only needed to
flip one more Galu to have a 7-5 advantage.
So now Russel wasted his HII and Erik left for the jury (JP said juror #1, so do we have jury of 9 and a F3?) with his HII in his pocket, we have no HII's left in the game. Will MB hide them again? |

I cannot believe Erik did not play his HII. In a camera interview he admitted he thought everyone might be targeting himself. When he was egging on the ex
Foa Foa members I was wondering if he was trying to attract votes so he could play the idol and vote out a Foa Foa with a minority of votes.
Glad Laura didn't go. I felt she was getting shafted. If anyone (and by anyone, I mean viewers) still believes Russell has any control, if he ever really did, in this game, they're simply not paying close attention. Since vote number 2, when has any tribal went the way he wanted it to go? You can possibly say Liz, but, with only five people to choose from, chances were high she would have went regardless of Russell's desires. Every other tribal he was involved with other player's dictated who went and several times Russell had to go along with them. Even the first two votes were for people who, historically, had characteristics that would have marked them for elimination no matter what tribe they were on. The only one who believes Russell has any swing is Russell, and we hear it from his mouth every week. I would love to see him last because he is entertaining, but I also can't wait to see him realize the truth, that the only person he's been fooling is himself. |

I sure hope the coming attractions were showing what really will happen. I'm getting kind of tired of Russell. True, he has been paying attention to strategy more than anyone else, but his arrogance and sexism are getting tiring, and I do think he is playing to the camera. But after the merge, he was grasping for straws, showing three people the idol, then giving it up. He didn't read Galu very well. We know there is a rift in Galu between the men and women, with the guys pulling Shambo over to their side (but not really being her ally) and Foa Foa could expliot it. The name was interesting, I was hoping for a combination name like Fru-Fru. My mother's name was Olga and my grandmother (father's mother) always used to call her Aiga. |

I loved Erik's blindside. Hooted and hollered more than I did watching the Yankees win. (Of course I'm a greater Survivor fan than sports fan.) Erik is
an arrogant prick. See ya, douchebag! It's interesting how fractured Galu is. We've got the guys and Shambo minus Brett who wasn't in on the plan
to vote for Erik. We've got the girls. We've got Laura and Monica at the top of the target list. If Russell weren't so aggressive he might actually
have a shot. What good is he to the rocket scientist (can't think of his name) now? And who is Mick? Has he spoken a word all game? Considering the season
has been all Foa Foa all the time, the fact that I know nothing about him can only mean he's boring as hell. lol. Nice casting, Burnett.

I think the reason I'm not into this season is that it's been all Russell, all the time. Every time I watch there are new people I haven't seen all
season and all of a sudden I'm "who the hell is that".

Mick was voted leader of Foa on day 1 and has been seen but I guess is mostly forgetable ( I think he is a Doctor). Jaison and Russell get most of the face
time.

I am glad to see Russhole finally scrambling after weeks of him thinking he was calling the shots over at FF. One more week and poor Liz might have stood a
chance. Please let him go home next week.

Hard to say about Russ when it comes to editing though Skep. When they actually shoot the show, they have no idea of the outcome, what moves they are going to
make later on etc. Sure Russell gives good DR, but he hasn't really said or done anything that others haven't done in the past....starting with Hatch.
So while they are in production, they have no idea what sort of an impact any of them will have on the game and I can't see them risking a fine to keep an
"entertaining" player around on the off chance she or he wins or even gets to 2nd place.
