Ah, the pitfalls of not seeing the first episode. :)

No one has commented on the happenings in a while. So I'll revive it

I think it is so funny, amazing, flabbergasting, sickening.....whenever a power player who has said he'd do anything to win gets so miffed about being voted off.

Judd was outplayed by the people he mocked. They turned Steph. He was so cocky and self assured, claims to have never lied, and then was so angry at being played himself.

While he bugged me, I actually respected the way he played - mince no words, say it like he sees it.....but then he lost all respect from me tonight. He turned into another whiner that thinks only he's allowed to play the game and strategize.

Yup. And AFTER he gave a big ol' speech about how everyone needs to deal with being voted out. Uh huh.

What a hypocrite. :rolleyes:

*cough* Lex *cough*

I mean...within minutes of saying, "Hey, every one of us needs to stop saying we'd be conflicted about voting someone out and just deal with the fact that it has to be done to get further," he's calling them scumbags. Retard.

Although I do feel bad for him in one respect. Based on what he said to his wife, he was 100% honest about wanting to take Steph to the final 2. So it kinda sucks that that got doubted. BUT, he made the fatal mistake of assuming his security, and for that he deserved to go.

My preseason hottie was Danni. While she is dangerously skinny, I still thought she was hot (sans the pink cowboy KC hat, anyway), and last night she was looking mighty, mighty fine.

I thought she played a great game. Only played a few cards but played them well when she needed to.

I would guess the final vote count was 6-1 (because they only showed one vote for Steph). That surprised me a bit.

I think Cindy blew it by keeping the car. Not that she would have won.....but she obviously liked those people. How often do you have the capacity to give 4 people a new car? I would have given it up in a heartbeat just because that would be so cool.

I liked this season. Next season looks interesting. Looking forward to learnging what the whole "exile island" thing is and how it will work.

Once again it is that most uncomfortable time... Time to review my Pre-season picks.

Overall I'd have to say I've done worse (a sad comment to be sure). Cindy turned to out be a dweeb but she went fairly far and Judd well, it turns out he was both funny and ornery.

We'll just skip over my whole "The returning survivors will not be real players" comments.

I do want to know what in the hell is up with the effeminate white guys? Last season Ian wimped out at the end and this season Rafe gave it all away with his "I release you" speech. He should have gone with: HELL!! You will burn in HELL woman if you don't keep your word and take me to the final two.

Great season.

For the first time, the attempts by the producers to mix things up by switching tribes around actually WORKED. Alliances were changed. Danni was from the underdog tribe.

The returning survivors had a real shot, unlike in All Stars where the previous millionaires were dumped quickly.

Good share of nutcases and hard workers. Rafe's winning streak, Steph's one win, Lydia always coming in last - there were a lot of fun angles to watch.

I adore this show, and am continually impressed with how fresh it is, season after season. :)
