    One of the returning guys had it right: the young folk are too eager to jump into alliances on the very first day.

    It's not a bad idea to make sure you survive the first vote, which some seasons (not this one) can be pretty random, but yeah, it gets ridiculous.

    I actually was disappointed Zane was voted off. Like the therapist, would have been interested in learning more about those tats.

    You need to buddy up with at least one person - if for no other reason than to have a second set of ears in case your name gets mentioned.

    I hate when they don't have two challenges in an episode.

    If I was on and knew who Kent was, I wouldn't tell him - I'd just drop little zingers to make him uncomfortable.

    Kent would be somebody I'd want to take to the end.
    Being independently wealthy shouldn't count against someone the final judging, but in reality it probably would.

    I'm surprised we haven't seen the Chilltown strategy -- from the one season I ever watched of Big Brother -- employed more often on these shows, Survivor in particular.

    Get a core alliance of say three people and tell NO ONE. Then each person forms a strong alliance with one other person. Your alliance now controls six votes and, as long as the outer three never realize they are in the "outer" part, you dominate.

    What about Kent's knee injury before they even got to the island? It was like he was almost giving up then I wonder if one of the show's producers told him this isn't the MLB where they have a DL where you can come back from anything from knees to watery eyes.

    Sad to see Angie, who has to be among the hottest contestants ever get voted off, but it was the right move. Russell sucks at challenges.

    If RC can survive the developing fiasco with crazy Abi, she has potential to go far. She's good at challenges and seems pretty bright. Malcolm is similar (minus the fantastic rack) but he's in a perilous position because his tribe can't win a challenge. I'm expecting a tribal shakeup soon.

    Seems obvious that a shake-up is coming. The blue tribe doesn't have a shot at winning anything. Way too dysfunctional and Russell is a liability in physical challenges. Again, obvious. I'd be surprised if it plays out any different.

    I expect them to lose again, and I expect Russell to go home.
    Then they send each of those last two to different tribes.
    Then maybe we can get two challenges instead 45 minutes of boring camp footage.
    The pacing and tempo of these episodes are terrible..
