Good point about the food. But, it seems like the ladies might have figured out the fishing part. That last one they pulled out was a keeper.

I'm a guy, but I say, good for the girls on this version of Survivor. The smartest thing they did, was sit down, have a meeting, and push a leader forward. Like it or not, you cannot default to group decisions/discussions on everything you do. Just not efficient. Looks like Deena has that group on the right track. For this tribe, the thing I worry about is the beginning of a pretty girl/average girl clique thing starting up.

As for the guys, well they shouldn't worry too much. Most Survivors have one tribe race out to a big lead early, and the other tribe then catches up. They were organized and super-motivated early on. But it looks like, lately, they've sort of been riding the wave, relying on momentum, and playing the who-should-we-vote-out-next game. They need to re-dedicate to the tribe, catch some fish, gain some confidence. I think there's a lot of deeper stuff in Survivor, I really do. For instance, the guys have done well setting up their camp, but I don't see comraderie, and I think that can carry over into the challenges. It's tough, I know, because comraderie is usually based on trust, and trust is a touchy word in this game.

Did I mention that Survivor Amazon is probably the best Survivor since Africa? Might even be the best since the first show. They really did a good job casting, IMO.

Wow, I hate to disagree after being AWOL since Amazon started, but I really do. At least as far as it being the best since Africa. I liked it a lot at first, but this "Dating Game" sideline sucks. It was interesting to see relationships develop in the other versions -- but this is just too much like a jr. high school where the boys are checking out the girls across the room but too scared to do anything about it.

(OK, I did like the girls bathing scene -- but that's different.)

You got that one dead on. I think they were about to go down in flames until then.

"Looks like Deena has that group on the right track."

I hate to give credit to a lawyer, but if I'm gonna be honest I have to agree. I'm hoping her (presumed) feminazi beliefs will do her in when the tribes merge. (But I may be totally wrong in presuming she's a feminist, I'm just going with the sterotype for now.)

No, no! That's the kind of thing we want to happen. That's what makes Survivor fun!

That's something along the lines of what our founding fathers were thinking when they developed our Representative Republic and shunned a pure democracy. Mob rule just doesn't work when the mob keeps killing off the smartest guy - all you are left with is a stew of idiots.
