Well 8 eastern would put me at 5... So that can't be..must be really delayed here.. Sunday night football starts at 5:30 here..or so says the Steelers fan in the house..

I can't wait till Sandra is on a team that doesn't need anyone to sit out and she HAS to play! SO ridiculous that they allow her to never play! I have to say, I thought that firewood challenge was over the top hard... I really didn't see why they would require them to do 20 trips... even 10 would've been a feat to accomplish. They are barely eating and it's hot - what if Ethan had really had a major problem? Is pushing them that hard worth it? I was really disappointed in the whole thing. I was sad to see Tyson go - Nick would've been my choice (after Sandra of course but no one even mentions her!) Next week will be interesting to see how the merge goes!

I was very happy with Tony winning. I would've liked it if Natalie had won as well. I was SO happy Sarah didn't make it to the final 3 so we didn't have to listen to her drone on and on. I liked her in the season she won but not so much this time around. I actually felt sorry for Michelle not getting a vote. She was the easy choice to take to final 3. Michelle seemed like she was making fire easily. I think the only thing Nat could've done differently was to pick Sarah and then make Michelle & Tony battle out the fire challenge. Boston Rob is crazy for saying Nat should've taken her chance beating Tony in a fire challenge - no way should anyone give up their guaranteed final 3 spot ever. There's no way he would have done that so I was disappointed he'd say it. Natalie did have a huge part in the game. When she re-capped all the advantages she sent back into the game, I was impressed. But I think Tony did play the better game and he's certainly entertaining to watch! The time he thought he had an advantage that turned into a disadvantage, his reaction as he was reading it was my favorite part of the entire season!

OK! Yam Yam is Puerto Rican and the Y is pronounced like a J. Had to go to Yam Yam's private online feed for THAT explanation. And...Carolyn does have a REAL idol. Quote: About Sara.... Not only did she have the unused Inheritance Advantage from Journey Island, but she also was in possession of what she thought was a real immunity idol, but was actually the birdcage fake planted by Carolyn.
