I finally got around to watching it last night. Gabler sure was getting the "taken to the end because he can't win" edit. Nice blindside of the audience. It really helped that neither Owen nor Cassidy were overwhelmingly deserving, even if both reasonable well at tribal. I don't know what Jesse could have done differently. Sucking both at challenges and making fire really diminished his chances to make final three.

Oh, Jan. You're just jealous that YOU'RE not the president of the Davy Jones Fan Club.

Supposedly as a show of trust, which of course doesn't exist in Survivor.

I share most of the sentiments already posted. I too was pulling for the twins, but Derek and Jenna Elfman Claire were a close second, so had no problem with them winning. I'm not a Big Brother watcher, so had no previous impression of them. I enjoyed the season overall, but hope they are able to bring back at least some of the old format eventually.

Jesse has definitely been playing, and it is really good of him to recognize the flaws in his game and to do something about it. We'll so how he does now that he no longer has the biggest target to hide behind. It wasn't clear to me whether Jesse played Cody's idol or Jeanine's. Did they show Cody giving him back the idol to hold? If so, I missed it.

He moved about 5 feet back.

So Jade is a chef at Costco?

He said he was in Mesquite. What did you expect?

I think in your case, it's Big Ben Nation.

Why on earth would you try to out aggy aggy? You are making me agree with futureman. That's haw dumb this idea is.

Previews can be misleading, but I doubt they are in this instance. I hate to see any team struggle with that type of injury, but it's especially sad when the team is likeable and had a real chance to win.

Gabler is going to end up being the idiot who gets to stick around because he can't possibly win, isn't he? Ugh. Elie and Jeanine didn't appear to do a very good job of solidifying a Baka/Vesi alliance. If Elie was going to through Cody's name out there as a misdirection, she probably should have cleared it with Cody. The original tribes are even in numbers now, but there is no way that Baka is voting as a block unless an obvious target emerges that the vast majority want gone. After making some early mistakes, Vesi actually seems to be the most solid from a tribe alliance standpoint. Things will change, but at the beginning of merge, this is how I have the survivors grouped. Winner is likely one of these: Cody Jeanine Owen Sami Karla Could easily become a contender: Jesse James Has work to do: Noelle Dwight Cassidy I don't see it: Gabler Ryan

If these FT stats reflect actual improvement and not merely a temporary hot streak, then I will be very gruntled. Of course, if the 3PT stats are also the new norm, then I prefer last season's Luka.

This has been me the past several seasons, but eventually I have managed to find a rooting interest. Give it a little more time.

If Vesi had taken care of the tribe weakness last week like they did this week, they probably would not have been at tribal this week, and Justine would still be in the game. Being a good person is only going to get you so far in the early stages if there is no part of any challenge at which you are at least moderately competent.

I can't decide which is more of a beating...these threads after a loss, or after a win.

What site do you think this is?

Wonder what his limit is on schnitzengruben?

I just singed up for 2 years for $4.99 per month. I only have the one radio in my car. It works out to $6.09 after taxes and fees. It auto-renews at $17.99 per month after the two years is up, but I have a reminder set to cancel a few weeks before that.

Why is there a Saguaro cactus on a poster epitomizing Texas?

I am serious...and don't call me Shirley.

One of the least impressive multiday champions that I can recall, and one of the luckiest.

I record and FF through commercials and promos, so I thankfully miss those.
