I'm betting on no baby and at least even odds on no girlfriend.

I actually rather enjoyed this first episode. First they obviously selected fans that matched the fav's. One who is bigger/stronger than Gravedigger, another who looks to be a better swimmer/athlete than Ozzie, etc...

Then in the show itself, watching the Fav's getting it together to build a shelter, find food and even start fire while the newbies struggled. Then in the challenge seeing the team with food in their belly trounced by the team with fire in theirs.

The baby and girlfriend are quite real

That was one thing the first time around, he was ALWAYS truthful in the camera confessionals.

OK, but I still think he was trying to use that as a tool and I'm happy to have him gone.

Oh, and Scaeagels (and others) don't read that previous sentence until you have watched the episode.

I'm not usually a conspiracy theorist, but it seemed to me more that he was just using the moment to redeem himself in the eyes of the audience. "Aww, he's all mellowed 'cause he's having a baby." I don't see what he gains by pretending to ask to be kicked off, in terms of game play.

Of course, maybe he really has mellowed 'cause he's having a baby, but the whole thing just felt way too staged to me.
