Good for Christine calling her on her really bad attempt at lying. And shame on Mikayla for voting with that crew after Coach asked her to excuse herself from the private conversation that was going on!!! And, sorry I have no sympathy for Brandon. Editing or not, he blames Mikayla for him being attracted to her!!!! What a crock!

the reason why Jim inherited the honor...Hey Sean, <br /><br />the reason why Jim inherited the honorary title of *Michael Buffer voice* Puzzle-Master can be seen in the very first challenge. In the first challenge, also called "hero challenge", Jim helped clueless Ozzy to solve the pyramid puzzle. The editing makes it impossible to see exactly how good and how crucial Jim's instructions actually were. However, we can make some interesting observations. Jim gave his instructions in a very clear and confident manner, as opposed to the other team. The other team had 3 people screamin different instructions back and forth, Jim's instructions did not encourage his teammates to interrupt or to correct him. Also, judging from his confident and comfortable composure during and after the challenge, the/his instructions to Ozzy must have been spot on. Considering this, I assume that Jim did a good job as instructor.<br /><br />Anyways, these observations might explain why Jim was hailed King of Puzzleland, rightful heir to the throne and liberator from the tyrant David "Puzzle Master" Murphy. Also, to Ozzy pretty much anyone must appear as some kind of puzzle solving guru.Daniel K.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287535895548901963.post-77555459667306774342011-09-22T19:05:24.366-04:002011-09-22T19:05:24.366-04:00Vyrastas likes Cochran.

Last I knew these people were allowed to pack a small bag to bring with them. Now judging by the totally non-island appropriate attire that many are wearing (dress shirts, sweater vests, ...), and the fact that most of them do not appear to have a bathing suit and are marching around in their undies -- it almost seems like they were just plucked out of wherever they happened to be when it was time to do the show. They seem totally unprepared.

The facts that he lied to Coach (and admitted it) and has a penchant to “get” Mikayla for no reason, other than his throbbing Johnson, should set him up for immediate extinction. Mark my words, it won’t and he’ll survive much longer than he should.buzmeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433842045682197703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287535895548901963.post-77781922242818571642011-09-22T09:05:10.985-04:002011-09-22T09:05:10.985-04:00two weeks, no spiders.. although there was some...two weeks, no spiders.. although there was some kind of weird "gyrating digesting root looking thingie" -- anyone know what was that ? <br /><br />loved the paper hat thing worn by Edna.

I think Brandon is really gonna screw over his alliance big time. He's just as dangerous as the big Russel in the sense that he's a wildcard and totally unpredictable. Remember Dreamz from Fiji?? that dude single-handedly destroyed his original alliance because he was so inconsistent and wacko just like Brandon. I love the Coach alliance but i don't know if they're going to have such a smooth game...I hope I'm wrong.Max-ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06864775176483352999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287535895548901963.post-74452427147740502632011-09-22T03:45:43.797-04:002011-09-22T03:45:43.797-04:00I don't think the alliance was really terrible...I don't think the alliance was really terrible on who to vote for. I think they wanted to vote for Christine and Stacey, but Brandon kept mucking them up with his refusal to let the Mikayla thing go. I do think that like his uncle, he wants to be in control at all times. He said Mikayla should go, he THINKS that should mean that the others should come around. <br /><br />As for Brandon being creepy. I do think the editing is a factor in how bad he is looking. I also take into account that just because we aren't seeing her being flirty and working her feminine wiles doesn't mean she isn't actually doing it. And we aren't seeing it because it makes for a better story. Although if that is the case shame on the editors for making Hantz look so bad if he doesn't deserve it0. <br /><br />But even if she is playing a "Parvati" game Brandon is still majorly over reacting. The guy clearly has some issues he needs to work through, and is not emotionally ready to play Survivor. <br /><br />His telling a lie then wreaking havoc because he couldn't handle the guilt so soon afterwards was just a train wreck to watch.Dan Survivorfanhttp://survivingdansreviews.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287535895548901963.post-58544280682879186532011-09-22T01:19:56.627-04:002011-09-22T01:19:56.627-04:00Anonymous..u say ur not a mean spirited person but...Anonymous..u say ur not a mean spirited person but clearly ur post was mean spirited!
