The show often supplies the swim suits and of course they want them as skimpy as possible. I think they are too lazy and stupid to even try to kill something and eat it. Heck I haven't even seen this group getting coconuts or any of the tropical fruits that other seasons have gathered. They show crabs all over the rocks and beaches and not a single person has caught a crab. I don't understand it. Especially the father and son from Louisiana! They should darn sure know how to live off of the food in the water. I guarantee you I would be boiling me some crabs! I am in that can not stand Missy and her daughter group. They will stab anyone in the back. It's going to get interesting real fast at the merge.

Those punk boys are idiots. I would have slapped my son silly if he treated a girl like that. I would still do it and he's 32! haha Can't stand Missy and Baylor. They don't deserve to win. I think the editing is purposely trying to make the guys look bad. Listen to what they say, DO SOMETHING! Lazy @ss girls aren't doing anything. Very soon they will start voting off the strong guys then we will be stuck with the likes of Missy and Baylor. Gag, they don't deserve to win. At least the idiot guys are doing something. I like Jeremy, ( did not like his wife, which would keep me from voting for him, I wouldn't want her to get the money, and you know SHE will get it.) I like Wes and his dad. That's about it. Well, I guess Natalie isn't bothering me as much as she did before.

Absolutely agree sushi. I am, at least at this point, a big fan of Jenn. She's just a cool cat. I like Joe o.k. I like Tyler from white collar. Those are my 3 favs. I started watching this season with preconceived notions for sure and was pulling for blue collar all the way. I thought white collar would too snotty and no collar would be a bunch of slackers. All 3 tribes had some of each. Blue collar is still hard working but some of them I just don't like. Most "Rahdney", such a tool. And I still don't like Sierra. Dan is just a goof. Can't remember the other guys name, the oil driller. He's o.k., he's playing hard. Great tribal last night. Well played!

Re Rodney, I don't care for him, but you have to remember that every single birthday grumble was squeezed into a few minutes, which makes it seem that much more whiny. And I do think there's some culpability from the other players. They led him on when they said they'd give him the reward. When he was pushing it, they should have said, "Dude! Happy birthday and I'll sing you a song on the day, but this is Survivor. I have to do what the best strategy is at the time." Instead, they got him all excited that he'd be taken on the reward, win or lose, because he hadn't had any and it was his birthday. No wonder he felt gut punched when it didn't pan out. Is it better strategy to hold in the disappointment and work the angles? Sure. But they're all emotionally exhausted, and he isn't a self aware, introspective person to begin with. Thanks for the Tyler interview. It was very interesting. I'd vote for Tyler to get the second chance. :) Is he on the ballot? Re the returnees: I think they realized that this year's cast/edit is a real turn off. I generally work while the TV is playing, but Survivor is visual, and I usually watch it more. This year, I work and just let it run and only half pay attention because I dislike all the people except Tyler. Maybe I could like Carolyn, but they haven't shown enough of her to know. I'm sure they cooked up this vote for people to return thing to get fans of past years to tune in again!! Re Dan, I don't care about his appearance, and I frankly like it better when they cast "real" looking people rather than unemployed actors and models. I also found his clueless unpleasantness fascinating and entertaining. I couldn't figure out if he was trying to be a Johnny Fairplay style jerk without the charisma to carry it off, or what. It did seem, though, that when he went to talk to Shirin after Will savaged her that he was being sincere, and that's about the nicest thing anyone has done this entire season. Survivor is my guilty pleasure. My friends think it's horrible! I try to explain that it's like watching a kind of Zimbardo prison style experiment where the people actually want to be there, but they don't get it. :)
