My favorite is Ozzie because of how he just has it all - fitness, outdoor savvy and skill, and brains (I thought!). To me, he deserves to win...well up until he had to blab to 3 people that he has the immunity idol! What the heck was he thinking?! Did he not know that the teams would be switched up at some point? Or that his friends are going to have to be his adversaries at some point, when the players dwindle down to just a few?! And even if none of these things were to happen, it only makes sense to keep that information to yourself. ANYONE would know that without thinking, it seems to me. And when he took it from his backpack and hid it on their island/beach, I just knew they were going to have to switch camps and then he would be separated from it. But luckily for him, the new group that he is in is the one that went to the same camp he was at previously. I can see that he might think someone could sneak into his backpack and find it, since that is what happened last season, but still, hiding it on the island seemed risky too. I also like James and I like Cirie too. I know she has some 'anti-fans' and I can see why, but to me, she is playing the game smart, in the only way she has open to her. She wants to win as much as anyone, and she realizes it won't be by strength or athleticism. But, yeah - voting the strong ones off is risky too, with competitions to win. But I think it is a risk she has to take if she wants to have a chance to win. But with her stategy, Ozzie may be the next target. When it comes down to INDIVIDUAL challanges, Ozzie (Ozzy?) will be almost assured to win them all, right to the end. ALthough if James is still there, he may be right up there with Ozzy. I don't feel one way or the other about Chet, really. I realize he is NO help to his team, but then that was just HORRIBLY disrespectful of 'Tank' to purposely and disdainfully drag him along. That guy is just full of spite. Ugh! Not pretty! I don't like Parvati either. Mostly, I think, because of how she uses sex appeal and heavy flirting etc. has her weapon - her leverage to keep in the game. She did it in her other season too, and now it's the same in this one. It smacks of 'prostitution' - not in actuality, but in attitude and spirit. Joel - I really dislike how he hammered on and on at Cirie one or two episodes ago when she dared to disagree with him over how that group should vote. I realize he wanted his way as much as she wanted her view to predominate, but still, he was just so unrelenting and ugly about it. The weak ones banding together to make it farther in the game, at the expense of the stronger ones, kind of goes against what we feel is normal and right, but it certainly is inovative and a good plan for them personally. Otherwise they are just pawns to be dispatched without a thought, as soon as necessary. Oh! And I have to hand it to Amanda for catching that shark! Barehanded, wasn't it? Wow! :) Wanda in South Texas Here is a link that might be useful: The Bee Hive

Sorry the first thread wasn't there when I looked. Both Rob and Russell have new reality shows of their own coming up. Russ is going to be flipping houses in Texas on A&E and Rob is racing around the world using different modes of transportation. Can't remember the station for that one. I thought he said he wanted to stay home and take care of Amber and the kids?? Course I think he works (worked) construction and we all know how that is going........

I was glad Bob won. I think Susie was a deserving second place. Susie gets dogged for riding coattails, but middle age/older females generally don't do well in this game. They aren't physical and usually they don't get much resect from the youngsters. Slow and steady gets it. She was useful around camp. She won two immunity challenges. I wouldn't have been upset if she won because she did what it took to stay in the game. She was a little annoying, but not really mean like some of the others. That tribal council was one of the worst I've seen. I didn't expect that many people other than Randy and Corrine to be so bitter. Crystal redeemed herself. She had a lot of graciousness and just admitted she sucked. I really figure out what was up with Charlie and his cuddling. I liked him better before that. I'd expect Marcus to be more gracious. I was reading some stuff about Charlie, Marcus, and Corrine coordinatng outfits for tribal council. I started watching for it last night. That was too funny.

I don't care for Dan or Rodney or superfan girl she is very annoying. I like the guy that keeps winning I am drawing a blank on his name. He's a very good player. It looked like next week could have injuries involved. I don't like the challenges that could cause serious bodily harm. That's not what I watch to see it's not entertainment. Skill sets and intelligent decision making processing is entertaining. I have lost track of the hidden immunity idols and who has them. How did momma c not know that clue was in her drink bottle? I definitely would have noticed it.
