I had a real problem with the "beautiful people" at the beginning. I can't stand cocky, snotty, full of themself people. But I have to say, I CAN NOT STAND Shamar. I was just waiting for him to play the race card. I guess he sort of did when he was telling them he was going to quit coz he doesn't want to be the angry black man. But changed his mind so quickly when everyone started begging him, ugh, gag me. Quit already. No self respecting Marine would act the way he does. He is offensive, lazy, and a jerk. I really, really hope they send him home soon. I agree the water challenge was great. What an effort it took. Poor Cochran, talk about a fish out of water. . . . always. Haha I'm glad Survivor is back!

I've missed TAR first episodes because of Truman Capote and the Swans on FX at 10pm. I think TAR was airing beginning at 9:30pm. The FX show is over for now, so I can watch the other. How many teams are left?

I like pretty much all the TAR teams. I’m not a huge fan of Cesar & Ricky, who have had the lead 3 times now. They seem overly confident, and I don’t see them as all that capable above the others really. I also didn’t get why Danny’s Mom kept insisting she could do all the challenges either, when she didn’t seem suited for them. Maybe you’re correct, schoolhouse, and Danny is keeping his turn until the end. Not that I think he can do better at any of the physical challenges.

Too bad about Kevin although his shoulder injury made him vulnerable. I really dont like either of the women on that tribe and they dont like each other. Sai better stop the eye rolling.
