I felt the same way.

I was mad they rehid the idol. Last time they did this, Russell found 3 of them and used them effectively. I'm glad that Reynold found it though of all the Fans...I hope he uses it well this time around.

As for the episode, it was truly uncomfortable for me. I wanted to jump through the tv and punch Phillip in the face. He's getting more annoying than entertaining at this point and it's because he thinks he's tough. He still references Boston Rob for his strategy and he's a bully. He's ugh....I can't wait for him to get out.

I'm glad Brandon stood up for himself, but of course he hurt everyone in the process and blew it all too far. But whatever. Hated this episode.

Yes, the Probst massage...I kept commenting on it...it was awkward.

I thought Phillip saying "I am not the leader. This is all a figment of his imagination" was funny because he was obviously trying to cover it up.

Andrea still annoys me.

All she does is cry. She looked like a chipmunk. I can't wait until she gets tool'd at some point in this season (God I hope it happens!!!)

Yeah, for such big happenings in the game, I thought the episode was anti-climactic.

I hope Corinne gives Phillip the boot...that would be wonderful!

Yeah, it bugged me listen to Phillip talk about "making big moves in my season" to people. Bottom line is he didn't; no one in that season did except like 2 or 3 people...and all but one got voted out because of it.

I would love to see Andrea bite the dust very soon. Her woe is me crying spurts and her nosy strategy bugs the crap out of me. Cochran hasn't been getting as much air time and they're spreading it out more which makes me happy. I could be fine with 2 or 3 Cochran confessionals and then spreading it out. Erik got one, Malcolm got some...still not much of Brenda. She is either playing really low key, or she just hasn't been saying anything that pertains to the game happenings.

Was surprised to see Matt leave as well, but I think that's what he gets for sticking with Shamar from the beginning. I'm glad that alliance is burning.

I hate Phillip at this point. I'm sick of watching him. He used to be entertaining, but his craziness mixed with his delusions of grandeur just irritate me.

I'm glad Malcolm and Cochran got good airtime this week, but still no Brenda or Erik.

Brenda was cute during the challenge though!

Yeah I'm excited for merge at this point!!

I'm calling a last minute downfall for Malcolm just like last time. I think Cochran has a good chance of winning this game. Because the Favorites did well on the tribal stage, Cochran hasn't had much of a target on his back and the fact that their first 2 boots were easy. I think not having to scramble like he I'd in SP will leave him in better territory this time.

Dawn sucks.

Dylan @ 31/3/2013 7:02 Phillip has got this game won! The second he said he was playing like Boston Rob I knew he was going to win. Yeah, but it'll take him two more tries. I actually think Cochran or Andrea is going to be the one to take this thing home. Malcolm's edit doesn't smack of a win - if anything, it reminds me of Steph's downfall in Guatemala, where they steadily fed us more and more negative moments until suddenly everybody collectively went "Wait, we rooted for this bitch?" and her ultimate loss made sense. Cochran is providing the entertainment, but from the interviews I've read he is not garnering a lot of respect from the people he's voted for. At this point I'm earmarking him as an FTC also-ran, similar to Lisa last season. Phil has no shot in hell, Michael is Corinne's bitch, Eddie is Reynold's bitch, Sherri won't last ten seconds against Phillip (especially with Reynold and Eddie openly gunning for her), Reynold is way too cocky for his actual skill level and doesn't have the covert skill to keep himself afloat once the idol's gone, and Corinne has the charisma of Hitler, and Brenda and Erik are somehow getting less screentime than Boston Rob. Andrea, on the other hand, is being shown in almost entirely positive lights. Malcolm is dismissing her as an idiot, but that's more of a "Malcolms gonna Malcolm" than anything else, and we've seen enough confessionals to know that she's definitely thinking strategically and has the capacity to do what needs to be done. I definitely could see her winning if she plays her cards right.

I thought you just said you thought Malcolm was going to win?

I thought the new idol was an idol that was put there because of the merge? One for each original tribe and one at the merge camp. I don't know much about their procedure though

This is irrelevant because they rehid Reynold's first idol and then again the second time he played it. There have been 3 idols total I think.

I hope they stay out at this point. But, I still think Cochran will win the whole thing. He's not going to be anyone's main target until closer to the end if he even becomes a target.

I'd like him to win, but would hate it at the same time.

The idol rehiding is the only reason Russell made it to the finale in Samoa and it may do the same for Malcolm...I have no clue.

I hate Dawn so much. I already didn't like her after SP, but after this season, I think she has become one of my least favorite Survivors ever! I was so overjoyed she didn't get to spend time with her husband, as harsh as that is.

And how homo was Erik forming a heart from across the water...

And the Probst close up when he cried! I was dying!

If I would have won that reward, I would have looked at them and said "I just asked Dawn to join me and I don't want to then take it away from her." She would have kept Dawn's vote that round for sure and Brenda would have been able to take one more. 3/6 is half so if she could have secured those votes, she wouldn't have gone this round. I think Brenda made the mistake in giving it to the other 4, DEFINITELY! I don't know if Dawn's decision had anything to do with her not getting her loved ones, but I think had Brenda given Dawn her loved ones, she would not have done that! Plus, I would hope people would see that I worked hard and won the challenge and therefore would respect that I want to see my family members.

Just don't take Eddie, Cochran, and Erik. Erik is already on Brenda's side and if you gave Sherri her husband and son, she wouldn't vote against you. Maybe I'm completely wrong, but I think Brenda ruined her game by giving everyone the loved ones.

As for next week, it seems a med evac. I think Dawn will get med evac'd at final 3 because her tear ducts explode. Calling it.

First prejury to be completed shafted and not get to be on stage. I don't blame them! I wonder why they did that. Kinda bothers me. They spent too much time on silly shit and not enough time trying to force one question on every single player to spread around air time

Good. For the most part this prejury sucked!! Almost every fan this season was awful!!

And yeah I agree. I don't care about Malcolm's aim to be a movie star...I wanted to know more about the game. Like ask Malcolm why he chose to vote out Phillip instead of Andrea or Cochran.

I guarantee he votes off Andrea instead, Erik's vote was thrown to Phillip creating animosity and then he finds that other idol because Phillip would be too lazy to sit around with him all day.
