Was I the only one yelling at Ami last night? The tears, the lies, all of that BS she was doing to save her butt. And "thanking" Eric so sincerely for bringing all this to light so as to make her feel like she was finally a member of the tribe. Phooey! She was trying to make him feel stupid. And she was lying to Ozzy's face when she said she never would have voted against him. Wasn't she the main instigator 2 weeks ago to get rid of him, blind-side him? I thought Eric was outstanding last night in his quiet kind of way. He worked hard at the reward AND played the game, too. Too bad Ozzy didn't get to see how hard Eric worked to bring home the reward. I blame Amanda for giving him HER last turn, that's when he hurt himself. If she had pulled her own weight, at least he wouldn't have gotten hurt AND gotten the most blame for losing reward. I bet he cracked a rib or 2. Next week does look fun! lol And a bunch of peeps know that Ozzy has the hidden immunity idol, I am sure some of them will blab it to others.

I was laughing so hard last night. Sierra tells Coach that he looked hysterical doing his "special, you can't even Google it" brand of mystical ritual BS and he said, he actually said "I don't care what anyone else thinks of me." Oh, REALLY? Then why are you such a poser? He's so full of hooey I don't know how he can even see, his eyes have to be brown. And he must think the whole world is stupid if he thinks anyone but the most gullible believes a single word out of his mouth. He's such a liar. I just hate how they edit the show to lead you to believe that this is going to be the night that Coach gets voted out. And I hate hate HATE how Jeff started quizzing them about who has the hidden idol(s). That was none of his business, not that he doesn't already know. Brendon told the truth, the dope, and Taj and/or Stephen lied. So much for the secret alliance of 4. I thought Brendon's plan was great and it would have behooved a lot of them to join him. They all just made a big mistake, not getting rid of the annoying Coach while they had a good chance. I feel bad for Sierra, having to beg to not get voted off next week and I really want someone to knock the smirk off that slimey Tyson's rude, ugly face. He's the bitterest, meanest person I've seen in a long time. And he's supposedly a member of the LDS religious group? They need to boot him out, he is a lousy representative for them.

Dink, do you blame your parents for your disease? No, I didn't think so. Just like your son, if he's smart and not petty, won't blame you for what's happening to him. We all inherit medical conditions from our parents, it's just a fact. My SIL had a kidney transplant, her whole family has kidney disease. It was hard to find a sibling that could be a donor, but one of the 8 qualified. Most of the others were in no shape to help. NONE of them blame their parents. I hope your son makes a full recovery or gets a transplant so you can stop blaming yourself for something you had no control over. Good luck, sweetie, to the whole family.

I am so amazed at everyone here. We all have a story to tell. Some are harder then others. When it is said that you don't know until you have walked in their shoes, this is truier then you could ever imagine. I remember my sisters last battle with cancer. She decided not to do any treatment. Her doctor was wonderful to her. He told her if it was his mother facing this he would advise her in the same way. We had thought we would have my sister through the hoildays. She died two months later on September 4th. Sadly, it was on my youngest daughter's 30th birthday. I lived about an hour away and went every other day to spend time with her. When we knew time was running out I packed my bags and told my hubby I wouldn't be back until it was over. I am so thankful I was there. My grandma died a horrible death with cancer. I saw her for the last time on my wedding day. We went to her house after the ceremony. While on my honeymoon I called every day to check on her. We came home early so I could see her one last time. She died 30 minutes before we got there. She was a fabulous lady and only 54 years old. I have lost 17 loved ones from both my family and my hubbies.. It changes a person's life forever. For myself, I don't think of it often. I go get checked when I need to and live my life to the fullest every day. I worry about our daughters and grandaughters having to someday deal with this. But, that being said, we can't sit back and wait for it to happen. If it happens we will do all we can to stand together and deal with it.. Cancer is no longer a death sentence like it was years ago. I also know when you are first told it is the first thing to come to a person's mind. It is hard not the think this way. I pray everyone here has the best that life has to offer them. For me I think of my wonderful father-in-law so much. I know when I have a really great day he is smiling down at me and saying, "Great job, Susie." Some days I really feel like he is patting me on the back. Enjoy all you have..
