Survivor San Juan del Sur/Blood v. Water (SPOILERS) (Page 2)

I disagree with Jeremy's objections and I also think he's letting too much emotion show.  He stated out well with making friends, etc, but when his pack fell apart he didn't make any attempt to ingratiate himself.  Instead he's all angry and fed up.  I don't think this will last much longer for him.

Ultimately, other than the tarp, I don't think they had to give up anything really important.  They have the basics and need to learn to make do.  Apparently an extra cup of rice really helps (first three Hunahpu wins...), so I say they start going through that bag and eat twice as much as usual.  NOW they have more rice and less people/days.    In fact, it seems kind of smart now...

I was first thinking that few of Hunaphu stayed on Hunaphu, so it was not fair that the Coyopa peeps had to suffer their poor decisions.   However, it was split about 4/5 old/new.  In light of that, the 4 poeple who were on Hunaphu to begin with, really ended up with a lot of rice out of the deal.

Jeremy is pretty full of himself. Another guy that has it all figured out and everyone else is an idiot. Can't say I dislike him, but we'll see how far that gets him.

OK.... surely that had to be editing. I can't possibly imagine anyone falling for Dale's offer. Yes, maybe the dumb pretty people, but not the whole tribe. As usual, the drum up anticipation, but the vote goes exactly as expected.

"IF" it was real idol... who in their right mind does not play it, when they know they are next? Who then, promises NOT to play a "real" idol and give it to someone else as long as they don't vote them? I mean the whole thing makes no sense. It's all good Dale tried... but ya, I can't imagine any of them bought it off camera.

And I agree with Jeremy, it was silly to give up all the stuff for rice. But the fact remains.... who plays that badly and eats all their food? How many people have played this game now, and none seem to have lost their mind. Some have dumped food, but not ate it all. The whole thing is super silly.... and then the other members going over to the other tribe and eating their food.... wow. Bunch of lame brains.

At this point, I have no favorite. And it sort of strikes me that I don't care for any of them. There isn't any likable people really. Not monsters either.... but ya. Meh.

Yeah, that episode stunk.  Julie is an idiot...1. for hoarding food and 2. for quitting.  I hate when people quit...makes me mad because I would have wanted that spot!

Early merge....I wonder how many jury there will be...Probst didn't say Julie was going to be on the jury...and all I kept thinking during their "talk" was that it seemed unfair to everyone else that she got to have that big of a discussion about quitting with him outside of a tribal setting....that's like having a confidant to help you make a decision...

Julie could have turned that food hoarding around if she was smart. All she had to do was convince them that she knew people would be starving and that it would really be good to eat something besides rice before a challenge!

And yeah, I can't stand anyone that quits on that show

That has to be the lamest quit I ever saw. It's too hard, and I can't be away from my boyfriend. Wow. So lame. And ya, stealing food...  It might happen, but you can't be that obvious. Everyone was hungry and had a big feast, and nobody is going to leave anything behind.

Jeremy dodged a bullet. But now he is down. But he seems pretty arrogant. So what does he expect. It's not over though. Something could swing his way next week.

I hope Jaclyn stays on the beach for awhile! 

Probably a good move last night...Josh was popular, non-offensive, and a strategist.  Not a threat for immunity, but still a strong player.

Keith looks to be in trouble next week...if he doesn't figure out that they know he has an idol he's gonna be in a world of hurt.

But, sneaking around and looking in people's bags is a sure way to get yourself on the "enemy" list too...

I need to check out the ponderosa videos tonight.  I love ponderosa videos!

Yeah, looking in bags definitely seems dirty.  I know it's been done before (China...they found the gravedigger's idols), but still...

Also, it says they find the CLUE to the idol in his bag...not the idol (which I think he said he keeps in his boot).  SERIOUSLY, Keith?  BURN THAT SHIZZLE!

Oh yeah, one more thing....

Cool that post-merge the idol is on exile...I mean, you have nothing better to do.  So now Jon and Keith have the idols, right?

Though it does make it harder to find the idol at camp when people are watching you.

I know it's been done before...in China that is how they figured out James had two of them.  I don't agree with it.  And I think Reed only did it out of spite.  He was upset about Josh getting voted out and so he went on the offensive.

Everyone really messed up last night though...they failed to oust either idol and they totally could have.  They eliminated a big threat, but there are still two idols out there....

Should get good from here...

Almost forgot...I think giving up your reward is STUPID.  It's been proven time and time again in the past that doing good deeds never gets you anywhere...you just gave up your reward for someone who could turn around and immediately vote you out.  Stupid stupid stupid....

Interesting episode.  Amazing how many people were willing to step down for food.  Though, you never know how close they are to giving out...I mean, if I knew my hands or feet were about to give out I might opportunistically wait for food....

Good tribal...they managed to oust BOTH idols.  Poor Wes...no win for the Father/Son duo on that one though.  Jon owes Twinnie his loyalty...she totally called it and saved his butt.  Then he was all "I'm so glad I played that" vs. thanking her!  WTF???

Is anyone else having a hard time figuring out what the alliances are?  I'm a bit lost. :-D

This season is weird. Here we are late into it and I honestly don't care about any of them. not that I hate the show, or them... but, meh.

This is odd in that there is no alliance. Everyone ids flipping on everyone. Which, in reality means, they are all playing. I think Wes had a better chance than his Dad... but odd man out. 

I'm glad the plan to get John out backfired. Not because I like John, but because it was funny. 

Solo Twinni is not that annoying. I seriously can't believe Taylor or her Mom is still there. So worthless.

With two idols flushed, this week should be interesting. Not sure if they will put both back in the game or just one. there has always been only two... but last week there were 3 live.

Well, I think one idol was an "original" never found by the tribe on the beach where they now all live.  Someone had that clue so the producers couldn't exactly go dig it back up.  I guess maybe the plan was always to move the idol to exile so they had to put a third in play?  It's a shame Baylor knows about Solo Twinni's idol.  That is a bummer.

And you are right.  Solo Twinni isn't annoying.  In fact, I don't think she has made anyone made, she just saved Jon's butt, she is aligned with Baylor who isn't well liked, and she has an idol...watch out!

Here's what I don't get about last night's Survivor...

They were *so* upset that they couldn't blindside Jon...WHY DIDN'T THEY GO AFTER HIS GIRLFRIEND INSTEAD???

You saw how bad he was after just a couple of days away from her...he would cave FAST if you took her away.  Stupid stupid stupid...they should have gone after her last night...break up the "swing couple"....

I'm watching but not really invested in anyone.  At this point, maybe root for Jax for the win?

I guess we all think the same.  As soon as John won immunity, I would have gunned for Jax.  THAT would have heated things up a bit.  Just weird.  I think you need to break up the power couples since you know they would vote the same.  On second though, maybe not Missy and the daughter.  They seem to have very different way to play this game.

It would be interesting if a couple makes it to the final 3 and how they argue.  I wonder what the thought process would be for the jury.  Give it to the odd man/woman out or figure if you give the million to one of the people in the couple, it's sort of like giving it to both?

Well, if she has to participate she can at least crawl...but I think they have to be medically cleared for challenges...if medical says no, but won't pull them from the game, then I think they are OK.

Yeah, should be fun watching Jax fall apart now. :D

Edit:  I am sure Jon has the idol in his pocket...you take the idol to tribal..you do.  And I'm sure once you are voted out you cannot hand the idol to someone....

I'm thrilled with how things are going.  Natalie is playing exactly how I wish I would play if I were on the show.  So fun to watch!

I was thinking about Jon and the idol, too. It would have been really smart for Jaclyn to have held it for him until he was ready to play it.  I would do that in the future if I was more likely to be voted out AND had a trustworthy partner.  In his Ponderosa video the first thing he says, I think, is basically "why didn't I play the idol?"  D'oh!
