I thought the slip-n-slide was really fun and cool! Overall it was a great episode! Oh, I was SUPER surprised that Bob the PHYSICS teacher didn't win the 'math' contest!!! What?!?! I mean, math and physics go hand in hand! :unsure:

Yeah, that did look great! Wish I could buy one for my property! And, ICAM about Bob. He must have felt really stupid when he was like, "Oh, I got it now!" and he was wrong again!

Yep, he'll never live that down with his physics students I'm sure!! :haha:

I was glad that Sugar found the immunity idol. She deserved it after getting through all of those clues. At the end, right before she found it, they kept showing that alligator and I was like, "Hurry up and get the idol and GET OUT OF THE WATER!!!! LOL!!

Do you mean something happened to Marcus in real life, Beckie?

Okay, I finally watched last Thursday's show. I also expected Bob to solve that math puzzle first. When he didn't, it was like Crystal not being able to climb the hill in the opener.

I also had a change of heart about Sugar. She seems sweet (pun intended), and I felt sorry for her when she was talking about losing her dad.

Don't care much for Randy. He's got a bad attitude. And he's just plain obnoxious.

Did I hear Ace right? Was he talking about losing the first challenge on purpose, the one for the blankets and bedding?

Yeah, I have to say that I had a change of heart about Sugar, too. She revealed her "human" side and I have to say that I like her a little bit more.

Yes, Ace did say that, but I forgot what reasonining he gave for that. Does anyone remember?

And, please, Beckie, enlighten us about Marcus. I'm curious, too!

ETA: Did anyone see previews for this next week, about the tribes being re-arranged? Should be interesting. I am just hoping that Ace and Sugar are not on the same team!

I don't know what logic there would be in throwing a rewards challenge. Tribes have lost immunity challenges on purpose in the past because they were eager to get rid of certain members. But rewards? :think:

Beforehand, Ace was saying that they didn't really need the bedding, hammocks, etc. Which is true enough. But still, by letting the other tribe win, you're making their lives more comfortable, and that's never a smart idea.

Well let's just Marcus had a wardrobe malfunction. And of course some rude jerks gotta make a big deal out of it.

Was this on air or off air? :think:

Yeah, and I think, also, when tribes have purposely thrown a challenge, then they go downhill (not winning anything) for awhile. I guess they were so bent on getting rid of Paloma, they were willing to risk it?

I hope Ace and Sugar get separated too!

Oh please don't leave us hanging Beckie---I need some elaboration! Enquiring minds want to know!

Hmm, can't think who Randy is right now Rob...guess I need to go check out the CBS site. I'm still learning all these names!

Ace didn't say he wanted to throw the challenge persay...actually he came out and said just the opposite, "I'm not saying we should throw the challenge." He was mentioning that they shouldn't send their strongest people in to do the 'reward' challenge, considering that it's only for 'comfort's sake. He was suggesting they work harder on winning the immunity challenge, which I think was ideally a good strategy. However the girls got ticked off with that because he seems to be taking up this leadership role and calling all the shots. I don't like him, he is cocky, but he does have some good thoughts from time to time. But yeah, you're right Rob---making the other tribe comfortable (ie: better sleep, better eating, etc...) is ultimately not good for the immunity challenges either!

Randy is the guy who cut his head in the first episode.

Thanks for clearing that up about the reward challenge, Amy. I don't remember now... do the reward and immunity challenges happen on the same day?

Ah, I hate that. It always takes me a while to get it straight as to who's in which tribe. Then they go and scramble things around.

They usually don't switch up the tribes this early.

Oh, ok---yep I know who you mean and yeah, I'm not a fan of him either. But, I can also see where GC or whatever his name is really is wearing on his and everyone's nerves. He is the one I hope goes soon.

As far as switching the tribes up, I really don't get that. You're right Teresa, they don't usually do anything this early! I wonder what the deal is. It's not like it's a merge or anything major, but they have sth up their sleeves, that's for sure.

Ok, so curiousity killed the cat. What a shame that publicity was called to it---now the poor guy has to deal with the humiliation, like you said Beckie.

Survivor Fans Ready????

I'll go tally the votes............

LOL Teresa! :haha:

:haha: Along with "Come on in, guys," and "Survivors, ready!", those have to be Jeff's most oft-spoken words.

I was actually just going to edit my post....

DId you guys notice that Jeff didn't say that, either last week or the week before?! We all looked at each other like: :unsure:

I love Jeff's little quotes! LOL!!!! Also, at the reward challenge, he'll say, "Getting your first look at the Kota tribe. So and so voted off at the last Tribal Council."

And after the challenge... "[Insert tribe name], I got nothing for ya. Head back to camp." :shifty:
