    Maybe he did it as a cover-your-ass-type move. Now he can tell Mike, "Hey, I didn't vote for her."

    But nobody knows how anybody voted. It just seems weird that he would take a vote away from what he was trying to do, especially in a situation where the voting was so fractured.

    Yeah, I know. But if the shit hits the fan and people start pointing fingers, Joel can say he didn't vote for her. Honestly, who the fuck knows what he was thinking? Maybe he'll spill his intentions.

    Maybe Joel didn't think his plan would work. Reminds me of the "LA Law" episode with the managing partner vote with Brackman, Markowitz and Rosalind Shays, and Shays won on a 3-2-2 vote. Brackman voted for her because he didn't think he could get a third vote, not realizing Becker voted for him.
    I can't decide whether Chet looks likes Johnny Fairplay's older brother or Carson Kressley on meth.
    If I were Jonathan, I'd have asked Cirie to sing a duet of "Let's Get It On" outside the shelter just to frost the cookies of their four furiously humping tribemates.

    But as soon as he does that, the others can step up and say he orchestrated the whole thing. It just doesn't make any sense. Of course, he doesn't seem the sharpest knife in the drawer. Mikey B trying to split the vote six different ways was stupid too. If the one chick had found the immunity idol, why give it away? If she has that, she's covered twice at tribal council. She could go a long way with both. Unless she's a dumb ass like James and hangs onto it.
     
  6. How many out and out makeout sessions have been shown on Survivor?

    I know the idea of romance goes back to season 1 with Greg and Colleen, but they never were shown making out.

    The only other ones I can remember were Rob and Amber on All-Stars and Candace and what's his face from Parvati's season. Amanda and Ozzy sure went to town. I am not shocked coming from pornstar Ozzy, but Amanda came off as somewhat innocent in China ... not so much any more.

    They all still seem like they're trying too hard. This is the second week a player has come up with some insanely elaborate plan of questionable intelligence. Though maybe it was smart because if Mary got in deeper a few more days into the game, she'd be harder to get out, it might also have been really stupid because Joel's "alliance" might be shattered by getting rid of Mary. Maybe when things form back up, he'll be on the short end. It was probably the best thing and the only chance the old morons had.

    Meh, I'm not sure a grown woman sacrifices her innocence by making out with someone. She's still virtuous enough for me. :)

    I think Mike actually had the right idea, making sure none of them would get screwed no matter what might happen with the immunity. He just didn't do a good enough job explaining it or something I guess.

    Here's a question to ponder:

    If your spouse was on the show, how far would you allow them to go with a member of the opposite sex, understanding that his/her ultimate mission is to make you guys millionaires?


    Another thought: Ami ought to start talking like a straight woman. Her deep seductive vibe would make slaves out of every man on the show. She was an excellent mind-game player last time - throw in a little sexuality and there ya have it. Might even cause the gay guy who almost got voted out last night to make a change.
     
  10. I was being a bit facetious but I still did not see that coming (aside from the preview from last week of course). She surprised me.

    Mike's idea was sound but was way overthinking it and if he hadn't done that Chet would have been gone and Mary would still be around. His overthinking caused Joel to jump ship.

    My favorite part of last night's ep was the two shelters the Fans built, straight out of the Brady Bunch. All we needed was somebody asking Chet where he got the extra palm fronds.
    And Chet reminds me of a British rocker, Charlie Watts maybe? or maybe actor John Hurt. Dude caught a major break last night.
    Adios Mary, you were very hot.
