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..

The reason I mentioned Dan as a possible winner is because they have given him almost NO air time during the whole season. The only thing they have shown is bits and pieces of "Poor worthless gimpy Dan!" Many of them talked about keeping Na to take to the end, but did anyone mention Dan to take to the end. There is a "LOT" that goes on that we never see. They usually "blindsight" us with the editing. If the winner is obvious, they would lose viewers. From what we have seen, Dan is less "deserving" (although I think anyone who makes it to the end IS deserving) then some of the others. For that matter Jane looked very deserving, until last week! I should be very interesting! I'm preparing our pizza!

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 don't know what Erika did that Xander didn't to win Survivor except that she went to Exile Island and broke an hourglass. Big whoop! They both won two challenges and survived being on the bottom, but Xander found an idol that caused him to lose his vote and he still survived. I think the rest of them may have had a personal dislike for Xander but I don't see why. And poor Xander, even at the final tribal he thought Ricard was looking out for him when he whispered "Play your idol." Ricard was irrationally upset with Xander for not playing his idol for him and assuring him a spot in the final three and therefore the million dollars. Ricard would have never played his idol for Xander. I hope Xander sees him in a true light now after watching the show.
