Now that I'm caught up...

I would have much rather seen Rocky go. Getting rid of Anthony was the smart thing to do but getting rid of Rocky would have been the right thing to do. Then again, I've just known too many people like him and it drudges up some angry memories. Still, Anthony just didn't being anything to the table. I mean, even Yao Man seems the better competitor and Anthony could have made up for his physical deficiencies with a bit of social skills. It's Survivor and you gotta do something in the way of surviving.

Unfortunately, if they continue to lose, Lisi will go before Rocky. She pretty much dug her grave with that stupid little outburst. I love seeing Jeff not take any of that crap.

Yeah, I'd just like to say that Jeff Probst rocks regarding his treatment of Lisi. There's nothing Probie hates more than a competitor who quits (a.k.a. Osten from Season 7) without a good reason (a la Jenna M. from All-Stars). Absolutely the best moment in the season so far.

And, I'm going to miss Anthony...had the tribes been shuffled differently, he may have had a chance...but I'm looking forward to the episode where Rocky, Dreamz and Lisi kill each other on the beach. ;)

And, speaking of which, I found it awesome that the "weaker tribe" with Yau-Man, Michelle, Cassandra and Stacy beat all those big, strong men at the immunity challenge. Talk about underdogs!

Go Michelle and Yau-Man!!! And, what the heck, I'll throw in Alex and Edgardo for playing strategically all this time too!

Was anyone shocked at all that Rocky was voted off? I know I was NOT!!!

I have a strong suspicion that Lisi's days are coming to a close too...not that it breaks my heart if she does leave.

And, with Rocky on the jury...I can't wait to see him during the final tribal council!!!

I don't watch the show but with MC Jeff pretty much admitting (according to a TV blog that I read) that this season has sucked, are you regular watchers in agreement with that?

Yes. There aren't any really interesting, standout personalities. I said it earlier on that I hadn't found anyone to root for.

Eh, there have been worse seasons, but it's not the greatest.

So Rocky is on the jury? Was that said (other than by Rocky in his parting whine) and I missed it?

Yeah, you missed it. Jeff said "...and the first member of the jury...".

Weird.

Then I guess they're doing the same thing as last season. 9 jury members choosing between the final 3. It was pretty lame last time, I can't imagine it will be any less lame this time.

So, YaoMan and Earl figured out within 2 or 3 clues exactly where the Idol should be. Lisi had something like 6 or 7 clues...and the best she can come up with is, "Uuuuh, it's somewhere on this island."?? And what the heck is she doing telling someone else?

She's stupid?
