lol Mayflowers, I think that's one of the reasons I like Christian. I hope he does make it to the end, he's my favorite currently. I didn't care for the vote either, not so much that I thought Lyrsa was playing a good game, I just don't care for Angelina's game. The sooner she gets to Ponderosa, the sooner she can stop whining about a(nyone else's) jacket.

I agree - snooze fest so far. I still have no clue what most of their names are. The buff switch meant to switch things up did absolutely nothing! I kinda liked the guy voted out - would've preferred the girl who wasn't feeling well but she really didn't want to go. I thought maybe with their love fest going on she'd volunteer to get out of there. lol

"So, after they come back from Idol Island, are they not allowed to tell the group they have met Rob and Sandra?" It's up to the player to decide what to reveal. This is discussed in one of the articles that last week's recap links to. It's interesting, to me, that both women who have been to Idol Island have told a story about there being urns. Those women are from different tribes, so they certainly haven't had a chance to discuss and agree that the second woman would say the same thing the first woman had said. I'm curious as to what will happen next week when whomever goes to Idol Island returns to their tribe. Since the next person to go will be from the same tribe as Elizabeth (the first one to go), they may get together and discuss. Then again, though, they probably won't have a chance. But, obviously, the more folks that go, the more everyone will know the truth about meeting with Sandra and Rob.

Gargamel wrote, "I’ve come to the conclusion that I like the 39 day format much more than the condensed 26 day format." Then sushipup2 responded, "Gargamel, no, there are still the number of hours of the shows aired, regardless of the 26 or 39 day format." Yes, sushipup2, the number of hours aired on tv remains the same, but I agree with Gargamel that the pace of the development of the show is much faster. There used to be a Tribal Council every three days, now it's every day. We would see what happens when the tribes get tree mail, and there were the days between Tribal Councils when the tribes would have a whole day at camp to search for idols and plot and scheme with other tribe members.
