The reason..Keith and Whitney actually made a half, big time move (it would have been a whole move if they hadn't chickened out and voted for Dawn instead of Elsye). But a half move is better than none. It takes alot of guts to make this move. Last season, would have been different if ANYbody would have made a move like this. I am glad to see that backstab courage return to this game. Makes it a great deal more enjoyable.<br /><br />Thanks to Jim for initiating it and to the aforementioned Keith and Whitney for their courage to do it.RonSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287535895548901963.post-76276378080136862602011-10-14T12:10:43.335-04:002011-10-14T12:10:43.335-04:00Sean, I love reading your recaps!

Now he always has this dumb look on his face all the time and gives off an "I'm better than you" vibe. Chipwrecks - I think they kept Ozzy because he helps them so much in challenges. But I agree, I'd love to see him go sooner than later. I'd really like to see Cochran go all the way. Personally, I think he's really funny.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287535895548901963.post-49266581308749490752011-10-13T22:32:41.146-04:002011-10-13T22:32:41.146-04:00I read every week.

When Stacy was going off this week I couldn't help thinking, "I hope Sean doesn't ask for another translation, that's just too much!"<br /><br />While it was taking place I felt like it would be good strategy to actually spit as much as you could after spitting out the meat. Everyone doing that would add up to a lot more than two ounces. Little did I know the winners would actually wind up keeping and eating that pork. I know Survivor had a couple of those gross eating challenges early on but I've felt that they moved away from the "gross-out" factor and I think they are better for it. This went back on that a bit and I didn't like this challenge.<br /><br />So glad God was able to drop in again and help Coach and Brandon. I could use a little help paying the bills this month so if He could help out with that, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.<br /><br />Sean, you're ingrained in my Survivor watching. Definitely agree that the editing is blatant and spoilerish. And the spelling, my God (there He is again) the spelling! Knew you'd be all over Jim for that one. <br /><br />Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to kick it to start up a bee's nest...R.P.

Nice job Sean on the translation -- we too rewound it a few times to hear what she had said. <br /><br />I liked the no hand chew challenge when it was in Brazil - a link to the Piranha. this time it was just gross. And they got to keep the meat afterwords? what about all the spit that in the basket too? ewwwh. <br /><br />thought we were going to have an awkward moment with Mikila and/or Brandon getting meat caught in their teeth and having to have the other pull it out..who knows where that would have led to. <br /><br />is it time to get rid of Cochran's shirt. really he looked like Dracula with the high collars. I liked him better as sleeveless Cochran. <br /><br />Great blind side on Elise - Ozzie seemed to be a little too comfortable/confident -- that is usually the downfall in this game, overconfidence -- they all need a little paranoia to survive. like last season with the buddy system. <br /><br />I would love to see another reshuffling of the tribes before the merge.Brackenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14806676225475250811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287535895548901963.post-63397957289333782762011-10-13T09:49:17.431-04:002011-10-13T09:49:17.431-04:00Thanks Sean!Thanks Sean!Julienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287535895548901963.post-77065050175105981272011-10-13T09:27:10.039-04:002011-10-13T09:27:10.039-04:00I've never understood why EW doesn't have ...I've never understood why EW doesn't have registered comments.

Regarding the foreshadowing, I see that they do pretty much spell out the two who will be receiving the votes, but I was genuinely surprised that Elyse went. <br /><br />I'm curious to see what kind of effect Keith and Whitney's votes for Dawn will have for them.<br /><br />I, too, am tired of hearing about the Hantz family and seeing Brandon's tears every time he gets air time.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01563142738245530462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287535895548901963.post-77702721759108194812011-10-13T02:01:55.997-04:002011-10-13T02:01:55.997-04:00oh....my....the visions in my head...choirchick, I...oh....my....the visions in my head...choirchick, I'm going to have to go bleach my brain after you put those images of skinny little Cochran in my head...<br /><br />I have noticed the editing too. Every show, they seem to focus on the 2 that will be going up for tribal almost from the absolute start. Gets kinda boring. <br /><br />Ozzy probably won't even make it to the merge. He's playing like he's only half in the game and he's assuming (up until tonight anyway) he has full control of his tribe. He does absolutely nothing to keep in touch with Dawn, Cochran, and Jim. He just assumes they'll do what he wants them to do. That kinda makes the tribe ripe for a hostile takeover! Tonight will either be his wake up call or his demise.shipaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01177190263452000979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287535895548901963.post-20710227014497953402011-10-13T01:21:18.661-04:002011-10-13T01:21:18.661-04:00Ozzy is such a tool!

I thought it was a great blindside, the look at Elyse's face when her name was read for the first time was priceless. <br />The challenge was disgusting and I have to say that I miss when the reward and immunity challenges were separate.
