Okay, after seeing the end of the episode (15 minutes ago for me), Joel doesn’t seem that dumb - his plan did work. I still don’t like him, though, because he’s arrogant and power-hungry.

I don’t really like most of the fans, either. Joel and Mikey are trying to take control too early, Erik’s an arrogant moron (like Mr. Ice Cream Scooper can go toe-to-toe with Ozzy), Kathy’s a loudmouthed moron, and Chet just plain sucked in the challenge today and worse, made excuses instead of owning up to it.

Tracy, Jason, and Alexis seem okay. Natalie - I think I’ve heard exactly one line out of her. She could become this season’s “Anonymous Jenn” if she keeps it up.

Goodbye, Mary, we hardly knew ye. But BLINDSIDED! NICE! NOW THAT’S HOW YOU VOTE SOMEBODY OUT! Loved the look of shock on Mikey’s face - and the arrogant smirk on Joel’s.

Rooting mostly for Yau-Man and Cirie now.

Fire!!!!

I’m about to pull my hair out. As fans shouldn’t they know the metal match has the flint - but the REST of the match is magnesium?

Scrape a few flakes off the back into a pile, place some small tinder above it and then strike the flint down into the magnesium chips.

Loved, loved, last night's show. I like the fact that this group, at least most of them, have some idea of how the game is played and strategy. Joel saw Mikey B taking control, didn't like it, and took some risks to upset Mikey's plan.

Also, did you notice, Joel didn't vote for Mary. He voted Tracy. He knew he didn't need his vote to eliminate Mary and now can truthfully say he didn't vote Mary out. Don't know if it will actually do any good, but at least we're seeing big-time gameplay on the "Fans" side.

On the "Favs" side, I'm a little surprised to not have seen more gameplay, particularly on the "couples" alliance side. They have placed huge targets on their backs and should get picked off one by one, starting with the girls (Parvati first). Course, things can change in a hurry.

Any way, I'm liking Joel and Alexis on the Fans team and the Jonathan/Ami alliance on the Favs. Oh, I almost forgot Cirie. She's gonna be a wildcard this season and mix things up, I predict. She's very good at gameplay and a likable person.

I believe this will be a very, very good season.

OK, I give you the point on Joel being the author of Mary’s demise. I was overreacting to the arrogance. Truth is, Chet and Kathy scream “vote me out”. Not sure how Tracy got lumped in with them by the others. She had to hook up with them because she was already on the outs. As far as I can tell, the only thing she did was build shelter why the others were running around whining about the fact no one was doing anything. Duh!

I think Tracy might be a good player but she’s already a target with no alliance. If she is smart, she’ll go to Mikey and make him see that Joel has his number — unless he forms an alliance with her and Kathy.
