Ok who is going to watch Survivor with me?

Mike flipped him off, after Tarzan admitted he was still there because he helped to take out the other guys. Not sure why Kat got teary about Tarzan wearing her panties on his head; maybe she thought she was being made fun of? Or did she think it was a dig at her being so blind-sided that she didn't take all her things to TC? Whatever, it seemed like a small thing to cry about. Those clothes were gone and she wasn't going to see them again, anyway.

It will be interesting to see how Tarzan gets treated at Ponderosa.

Alicia thinks she's in charge? Hahahahaha!

ETA: And yes, this is the first time the final five will all be women.

The "I love you" exchange on the boat between Chelsea and Kim was kind of weird.

Yeah, it kinda took me by surprise, too, as I hadn't gotten that vibe from either of them. Did it seem to be more Chelsea than Kim to you? I wondered if Kim was being calculating by saying it, too. But then I wondered if Chelsea was being the calculating one first, trying to guilt Kim into taking her to F3. Not that I think Chelsea could beat Kim at the end, but maybe she thinks she can.

My family always tells each other "I love you" when we say goodbye, and I have one friend who tells me "Love you." as it is something her family does so that there will be no regrets if it turns out to be the last time they talk to each other. I don't have a problem saying it to her, but I've known her 25 years. Kim and Chelsea have known each other a little more than a month, so it struck me as odd and I wonder if it was genuine or one or both of them just playing the game.

Still digesting all of it.....

I suppose Kim did deserve the vote out of all 3 women but I don't have to like the outcome.

Riley, I agree with your comments/thoughts about Colton. He may never grow up enough to be a real man.

I think Tarzan is (was?) very underrated.

I am glad that Chelsea didn't get any votes.

As for next season, I think that the burned guy will be back and who ever else they showed (I will check back as I taped it) will, too. It was quite obvious if you think about it. I sure do hope it's more interesting than this last season. As much as Colton was a controversial person it sure did get a little less interesting when he (and when Tryozan) left the game.

I think this season will go down as one of the more boring ones. (JMO)

Jeff pointed out that Russell was a Survivor that people loved to hate and Colton was a Survivor that people just hated.  When Jeff asked the audience whether Colton should be invited back, the audience was not enthusiastic.  I think we may have seen the last of Colton.  Pity his poor mom.

From the lack of posts here I'd say this season was a bust/waste. Onward.....

I think the problem started (quite a few seasons back) when they quit showing us interactions with all of the castaways in favor of "pushing" a particular character or storyline. How seldom do they show any of the castaways in the opening credits? How long has it been since they showed all of them, every episode? There were just as many people, but we knew who they all were, at least. Last season's nearly invisible winner (Sophie) was the worst example of this pushing a storyline in favor of showing us what actually happened.

I blame Probst for increasingly inserting himself into the game, from casting to voiceovers. The "previouslies" voiceovers at the start of each episode are blatantly slanted pro or con against certain castaways. The "narration" at challenges are full of "so-and-so misses again!" "they're really slowing their tribe down!" and other things that will influence the tribe's opinion of that person, while ignoring blatant screwups by his favorites, not to mention calling out when a person has figured out a better way to do something, so the others can quickly copy it. He has increasingly stirred the pot at Tribal Councils to steer things the way he wants to go. And he has pushed obnoxious "characters" that HE thinks are entertaining, whether we do or not. Russell (and NaOnka, and Cochrane, and Coulton) aren't characters we love to hate; that's his "spin" to justify why America often disagrees with him over who is entertaining and who makes you want to put your foot through the TV screen.

Whew. Rant over, and it felt good.

And Probst needs to quit fighting the aging process with his botoxed brow and dyed hair. He looks ridiculous at each year's finale when he shows up with his hair freshly done (an unnatural, matte blue-black with no highlights or low lights - it looks like he shampooed in shoe polish.)

OK, now I'm really done.

When does the next season start, anyone know?  

I heard it was Russell Swan, Johnathan Penner and Mike Skulpin.

OT but I just watched the new Big Brother and Russell's brother is one of the contestants, he got called out on it right away hmmmm he does look like him but did the Hantz thing and denied denied denied

All of the Hantzes can just go away, as far as I'm concerned.

Good, those guys give me hope that this season might be interesting. 

TV Guide network has been playing a one hour preview, interviews with the cast and crew, it's interesting.

I'm not really sure what to say.  Maybe they shouldn't have brought back anyone.
