Katlan, you're right about the tribe size, but they've also had small tribes snatch people to add to their numbers, and they let Stephanie become a tribe of one.

What I like about the three women Katlan named, and Abi-Maria for that matter, is that I remember them. There are a lot of people on the show I don't remember at all! Some people like the drama that a person like Abi brings, so would have voted for her. And some guys who didn't remember her might have voted for her just because she's cute. At least she's memorable! Survivor wouldn't be fun if everyone were nice.

I knew that tribe was going to tribal council just because they got air time. They've been telegraphing the outcomes something fierce! The whole depleted resources thing, however, was lunacy. Big Survivor no-no -- don't stand between hungry people and food! (Something Kimmie learned her first time out.) Yes, overfishing is bad, but if the clams were endangered or something, they would have been off limits. Another big Survivor rule, ration the rice, but eat what protein you can as fast as you can because you never know when you'll get more, and you never know when you'll be gone. Leaving it for later, when they might be abandoning the beach, due to a twist, that very day, makes no sense. Nor does going hungry. Unless they didn't show Monica saying look, there's a whole bunch of right sized clams/fish/crabs there, which would be better to take than a big clam, hunger wins over planning.

I'm not the big Joe fan that everyone else is. He's okay. It wouldn't bother me if he won. I'd rather see someone more interesting make it, though. Like, can you imagine how much it would take for Kass to win? Or Keith?

What worked out? The Recap? Something on the show?

I was glad to see this week that the challenges were challenging rather than brutal. And I was ROTFL over these "alliances" that only last until they actually go to tribal council. Did none of them learn from Boston Rob?

I was glad to see Monica go, she was unstable. They turned on her and it worked.

Dear Estreya, Check with your local waste-management firm or city/county government. MANY companies and local governments across the US (and Canada) provide subsidized--low-price--compost bins as part of the almost universal effort to reduce waste going to landfills. Your local government/waste-management firm may also offer classes in composting. Sometimes attendance at a class is required to qualify for a subsidized bin; it's all up to the local authorities. There are TONS of Internet sites on how to make compost. Many of them have lists of "green" and "brown" ingredients (hint: do NOT go by color of the ingredient) suitable for compost. Also: most of those same Internet sites will give conservative lists of ingredients. Many who post on these forums are more radical/free-wheeling with their compost ingredients. As a beginner, it might be good to start off conservatively and then, as you gain experience, make more radical choices. I'm somewhere in between after 20+ years of making compost. It becomes a lot of FUN once you get used to throwing stuff into the "pile" rather than the "garbage." Welcome to the world of compost. in el cerrito

Oh I'm squealing with delight to see this reveal. I missed it earlier somehow. Amy, you have one of my all time favorite kitchens. I'm serious....I have had your kitchen picture saved for a looooong time. It would be my dream kitchen if I could chose one. I love everything about it. I had actually posted a picture of your kitchen on someone's thread a while back who was wanting a similar layout. Yours is going to inspire so many. You and dh did an amazing job. That hood is awesome. You should be so proud because it is truly stunning.

This year's late freeze/frost survivors.

I personally only use pots for things that don't overwinter well outside. Like Mariesii Variegata. Made the mistake of planting and re-siting it four different times, and the darn thing got completely killed by the 27.7 freeze. I have it out of the ground bare-rooted hoping it shoots something out, otherwise it's getting composted. Of your three there, I'd keep Paris in a pot. They don't get very big anyway, so most Citylines can live in 5-10 gallons and never have to leave. Any white macs are better in pots. Outdoors they're completely inferior to the arborescens varieties. Do whatever suits you though! I like to stick pots anywhere where there's bare soil or mulch to brighten up an area. Some photos I posted here last year highlighted this!

'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved... hostas

Welcome back!! The quotes were very enjoyable. Sorry for your experience, but glad you are ready to "get back out there"! Nature and life march on. You have lots of empty space to fill (and nature abhors a vacuum). You don't have to fill it all at once, but do as little or as much as you feel like........on whatever budget you want and can afford. Show photos of what survived and is thriving. Gardening is good for the soul, although you get the occasional curveball thrown at you. My Hostas were thriving and I had some big beautiful clumps of 'June', 'Great Expectations' etc. along with some rare streakers I was propagating and multiplying. One winter, a combination of voles and just odd weather caused many of them to "Dissapear" over winter (and this included some BIG well established clumps). Actually I am not totally sure what happened...............it has been a few years and things are recovering nicely. Around the same time I had a couple years of SEVERE drought.....one summer seemed like EVERY storm went north or south of me. Even some big old trees in the neighborhood succummed to drought. I do have problems with a heavy soil and tree roots that is somewhat a battle. However we had fairly regular rain the last two-three years and things are doing really well again.

I don't know if I would have called her unstable. She was just playing the game. The whole thing about depleting the resources was a little much, though. But at least she was thinking globally, and not selfishly. Probably not the time or the place to worry about resources though. I loved the look of shock on her face when she saw her name. Total blindside. I'm not really sure of what I think of that tribe yet, and they are not spending too much time on the people I know I do like (Joe, anyone?)

I told DH at the beginning of the show when Monica and Kimmi were arguing about the crabs, ( or whatever they were), that Monica's gone. When she started with the "all girls alliance" I really knew she was gone. Kimmi ratted her out in the blink of an eye. Everyone should take note of that. Although, Monica was the one turning on the alliance. Calculated risk, didn't pay off for her.

Wonder how long til they merge. Or will the size of the tribes determine when the merge comes? If Woo's tribe would have lost yet again I wonder if they would have merged sooner, simply because the tribe was shrinking. I was very glad to see Woo's tribe win, although that means Abi gets a win, gag! haha

I'm o.k. with Monica going home, didn't really care about her, or Kimmi or Wigglesworth for that matter.

I am with Sleeperblues-loved the shocked look on her face. I was glad to see Woo's team win just for Woo's sake. I would like to see Abi gone, who would vote for her to come back is what I wonder. I would love to see Joe win, but alas I am afraid he will get vote out because he is a strong player.
