Corinne had it if she didn't tell Dawn. POOR MALCOLM. I hope he leaves next. While I am happy that Phillip is still around I think Erik made a bad move.

I think Erik made the right move for sure

Really? I think Malcolm would of stuck with him in the boys alliance. He is definitely the Carter of this season. Same body type, equally bad hair.

The STRONG MEN thing did probably seem like a good deal for Erik, but I don't think it had much of a shot at lasting. Plus Erik had no one within that six

Much safer bet to go with the other six I thought. Cochran, Phillip, Dawn, Andrea, Brenda, Sherri. There's gonna be more dissension within that group I think and much more wiggle room for Erik. Not to mention little physical threats to him. I would've done the same thing

The amount of fans being used by Corinne/Malcolm would have raised a giant red flag for me too. I think Erik ultimately felt like he was being used. I mean he hasn't been getting much screentime so whether or not he was in a good position in that alliance, we'll never know for sure. But if I was in his shoes, I'd feel weary.

Plus, there's a ton of big threats in the game that I think Erik can afford to play both sides a little bit. Reynold/Eddie are going to be constantly targeted until they're both gone. Phillip's always going to be on the radar. Andrea already has a wishy washy reputation even more than Erik.

Yeah, Erik definitely made the right call. Malcolm and Corinne were clearly calling the shots, and had more loyalty to their minions than they did to him, so there was absolutely no point in going along with them.

Cochran's immunity dance was probably my favorite thing about this entire season, second only to Malcolm attempting to do a big "YAAAH I WON!" pose only to turn it into a pissypants tantrum half a second later when it turned out he lost. Here's hoping that the Micronesia retreading continues, and the big uberthreat douche with the idol goes home next, a la Ozzy.

I seriously hate the lack of screentime that Brenda is getting this season. She was an interesting character the first time around, and it's annoying to see her getting Purple Kelly'd in favor of people like Phillip.

Theme for next season

This sounds bad

BUT,

I can see some hilarious situations coming from it. Imagine people blindsiding their dads or moms or daughters. Kind of a hilarious thought

Spoiler + Yesssssa! Boston Rob vs Amber! Russell vs Brandon!

I think they meant more along the lines of Colby's Brother or Tarzan and his Wife.

I don't think that highly of them

If they have

Spoiler	+
Malcolm and his brother

I'll riot

Tarzan back at all would be incredible. He was the only decent crazy person they've had on there for a while, since he legitimately didn't seem to be doing it on purpose.

Seriously, though, whoever had that idea deserves to be dragged out and shot. I mean, seriously, who are the other returnees going to be? Sonja and Purple Kelly?

Or, oh, maybe if we're lucky we'll get Malcolm again, and his insufferable brother.
