Surprised. I think they made a mistake.

The current watchword is paranoia. Or just because you're paranoid doesn't meant they're not out to get you. :) Yeah they got the right person out. The one thing that can not be tolerated and worked with is instability. Obnoxious, lying, backstabbing, yes. That becomes a big ol' game of B---S---, and same as with cards, it's about reading people and working people. With someone like Kass, however, who can be quiet and subtle or totally unpredictable, it's like playing with a handful of sand. Ciara (sp?) for all that Andrew thought she was dangerous, is so completely transparent, she's not that much of a threat. She went frontal assault with her whoppers, rather than dropping bits and pieces for others to pick up.

I would have loved to see someone like Kass win, just because it would have been a hoot, but I don't blame them for booting her. She didn't learn her lesson. It's not just feeling trustworthy. It's making everyone else believe you're trustworthy. In a game of deception.

I agree. Ciera is an open book. Kass was manipulative and cunning. I think they got the right person out, for sure. It seems to me that the level of play is really upped this time. It's confusing as to all of the old alliances from previous times played and then the old alliances from this time. I can't keep it straight.

I am delighted that chaos crazy lady Kass got what was coming to her even her so called alliance voted her. I didn't like her last time and even less this time. She really thought highly of herself, she thought she was running the show.

Joe just keeps amazing me, the man has skills. I would like to see someone like him win for a change. He is deserving.

I LOVE Joe, but think he'll be a big target. He was my pick the last time and this time. He's too pretty to be a man. Wow...that hair!!!

The Fireman, Tom?, won from the lead, and so did Boston Rob the time he played. Joe is lucky (though helped create his own luck) not having gone to tribal council before the merge. That means he has no scorched earth. :) He's going to have to start scrambling big time, however, because he also has no one who feels obliged to him, or other tight bonds, and there's that huge target. It's a long way to the finale, and if they don't get him out at their first chance, they're fools. He's young, strong, skilled, humble (at least on the surface), and actually rather nice. Everybody wants him for a boyfriend or son. Unless he does something stupider than we've yet seen from him, he'll have no trouble getting votes from the jury for sole survivor, mayor or prom king.

I'm fine with Kass going home. I really wanted it to be Ciara. I absolutely cannot STAND Abi or Ciara. I'm o.k. with anyone winning except either one of them. I hate that players like Joe carry their tribes then as soon as the merge comes all the do nothings band together to get the strong players out.

Savage was a little irritating last night. Why don't you just cry Savage? haha I'm glad Spencer is still in it too. I like Jeremy also, but he's going to have a target on his back. (I almost don't want Jeremy to win because his wife is a hag. Didn't like her at all.) He seems way, way too nice for her.

Right now I want Keith to win. I wanted him to win the last time he was on. His face cracks me up, he looks totally clueless sometimes, lol.

I hope all the alphas band together and get rid of the bums. It would be nice to see 3 actual deserving people sitting at the finale.

Plllog said, "The Fireman, Tom?, won from the lead, and so did Boston Rob the time he played."

Boston Rob won the third time he played. The first time he was on is when he met and fell in love with Amber. The second time he was on, Amber was also on again, and Amber won. The third time Rob was on, Amber had just had a baby, and Rob ended up winning.

Good catch, Lindsay. When I was editing I accidentally zapped a word. The sentence was supposed to read "the fourth time he played". My point was that he figured out how to control his game and keep it going from the lead. He had no choice that time because he was targeted for being experienced. It was lead or be the first voted out.

It was Redemption Island (22) that he won, and only he and Russell were returning players. Russell went early. :) He met Amber on the second go round for both of them, which was All-Stars (8). He was first on Marquesas (4). She was first on Australian Outback (2). Between All-Stars and Redemption Island, Rob played Heroes and Villains (20) and was voted out.

Oh my, I despised Boston Rob by his third time playing. I truly feel that they manipulated that game and the challenges to play towards his strengths. Then they have all the ditzy adoring bimbos on his tribe that all they could do is say "yes" to whatever he said. Amber was a doll however.
