"I loved that Elaine won and her comment about her ability to win red neck games. I would love her to win but after that nasty tirade from Missy instructing her menions to rip her apart as she was leaving, she has a big target on her back." But Missy was giving this instruction only to Elizabeth. Tommy and Karishma had both voted with Elaine to oust Missy, so I don't know if they will necessarily go along with Elizabeth against Elaine. Especially Karishma, because she hates Missy and Elizabeth and Missy were tight and operated as one. And I think Karishma will know that getting Elaine is what Missy wanted and would, therefore, not vote for Elaine. And wasn't it Elaine who warned Tommy that Missy was gunning for him that night? If so, he'll have some gratitude towards her, I would hope, and wouldn't want to vote against her. But who knows?

"I hope to God that next season is just Survivor without them trying to bring in all this ridiculous drama." Is this a serious comment? I can't stomach the show and leave the room when my wife is watching but I've seen enough snippets over the years to understand its thrust and posturing for its audience. Be real. What this show is about is voyeurism concerning manufactured and phony situational drama. That's about 95% of what's going on. Other so-called "reality" shows are the same. The drama is front and center, there's nothing else to the show. You can be sure that even those among the production staff who seriously found the guy's behavior to have crossed the line, were delighted that a new and unexpected plot element got introduced to the show. They don't care who wins and who doesn't, they want things to happen to engage the audience to react. A bad reaction is as acceptable as a good one.

And Ricardo, whispering to Xander "Play your idol". What snakes-in-the-grass. So far they haven't been able to trick Xander out of his idol. I'd like to see him win some challenges if he wants to go to the final four.

That was crazy! Why give up your immunity idol & trust anyone near the end? Gabler is the only one who doesn't "need" the money....but....he's smart and playing a really good game. Jesse may "need" the money, for his family...but that is too villian for the jury to back him. Karla is playing hard. I watched Amazing Race. I usually fall asleep, so I've missed a lot of it. That was a good WIN!
