I liked the end Dave spoke it well. It was definitely a well played game by Rob. The $100K Well........Jeff "Ambers' going shopping." Rob "~~~Oh yeah." LOL I sure would if I were in her place. Matt probably could have used it but his constant whinge proselytizing was not playing the game it was just whining about his lot and giving God all the responsibility to take care of him. Someone ought to tell him God helps those who help themselves. Love his hair cut. He is a handsome guy. Many of the guys were handsome or cute to some degree even Ralph 'cleaned up' had sparkling eyes and a boyish grin under that umm? facial hair. Russel and Phillip just looked icky/creepy/sneaky to me. Natalie She got her staying in the game so long money and had to do absolutely squat but use ROB to keep her there since she wasn't playing she wasn't a threat. I loved that "I used my strength of Social Skills." comment she made. Social skills to use people doesn't get you winning votes and the judges saw through her so well. Julie did drop the hammer a little hard. The kid was only doing what she knows to be in the game. Phillip????? He caught on he was only left because Rob knew no one would vote for him. He got his staying in the game so long money and I think that is the biggest reason he went along with Rob. He knew he would never win no matter how he played the game. His personality was awful even in the reunion show. Will Phillip ever answer a question without babbling nonsense? Will he ever shut up period? OMG burning those awful undies I wanted to gag. Had I been there I would have been WAY UP WIND! I don't think I have ever had the 'ewww my skin is trying to crawl away from that guy' feeling from a person on TV before. I'm still ewww when I think of him! The Former Federal Agent crap was a dominant issue in the reunion too. Proof or not still doesn't mean he is sane or in any way capable of being a stable dependable friend/person or fedderal agent. The supposed proof Begs the Question "WHY "Former" Federal Agent?" Usually death is responsible for folk leaving a federal agency's employment. A lot of benefits to keep them working until old age. Unless they are kicked out for being WACKO or they retire by age or request (usualy infractions of rules and regs constantly over and over will cause a request for leaving or firing). We still don't know what branch of the Federal Government besides FBI CIA AND other Security agencies USPS workers are Federal agents too! They have badges and take training. LOL Well fall is only a few months away. Enjoy what the summer season has to offer. LIL

I couldn't even finish the EW interview with Natalie, oh heavens, the whole world was against her and she was only trying to teach people how to do things, and Jeremy hurt her on purpose and her back hurt the whole time (at least while Jeremy was there) and she was just portrayed so wrongly. That's exactly why no one wanted to play with her, she sat on her tush the whole time and blames everyone else for everything. Yikes, I wanted to feel a tiny bit of sympathy for her but I don't think so, she's way too deflective.

Yeah, you all are probably right, I'm missing the idea of a dog and not the reality. Life's been kind of heavy here a lot the last few years. Interacting with that dog was so rewarding, even for as little time as it was. Instincts and habits are a very real thing that sets in when the initial fun is over. Even our low maintenance cat brings his share of issues to the table that need to be dealt with on a regular basis. I've always been around cats, so they are relatively second nature for me to deal with. Dogs are a little less so and require much more energy. Cooper, I'm so sorry about the little squirrel. That's the kind of thing I have to remember. Cute and charismatic as they seem on the surface, they also have instincts that take over and are still animals are heart. Yesterday I asked teen DD if she ever thought we should get a dog. She was a hard no. Told me that if I want a dog that maybe that would be a good thing to do when she leaves for college, lol. Maybe she has a point. Still, I'm waiting for this sadness to pass and trying to convince myself to not look at the shelter website- if she didn't turn up there the last two days, and we've seen her here before, it's probably safe to say the neighbors knew where she belonged.

"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.
