Apparently, Jeff doesn’t have his blog up for last night’s episode.
Hey, Jeff, you didn’t tell us you were going to let contestants go off on rants. At tribal council, it’s douse your torch and get off the stage pronto so what’s with the rule change on Redemption Island? Or did you just let Russell throw a tantrum because it made for good tv and you needed something to save face? Yeah, I’m trying to like the RI twist, but I’m just not diggin’ it right now. It’s taking away from getting to know the contestants and watching them strategize.
Ok, so who didn’t predict Russell would cry like a baby when he lost? That was a given. Russell didn’t give out any deep dark secrets. It’s not like they can hide who leaders and followers are (whatever their names are). It’s not helping the other team knowing/suspecting Ralph has the II. Ralph would have brought out the II if the gal (see, I don’t know anyone’s name because we haven’t seen them enough!) hadn’t told him not to (duh, Ralph!). But the real question is, will the RI challenges continue to be puzzles? If so, did Burnett chose challenges that leaned to Boston Rob’s skills? Not that his tribe was smart enough to send him packing on day one.
Speaking of Rob’s tribe, the scary wacko Phillip is still there. Why??? Sure, he’d be a great pawn for the final 3 but he’s a loose cannon right now. Who knows which way he’s going to firing off. Rob better watch out or he’ll be the next one who gets hit.
Well, might as well say it. Since I hardly know anyone’s name or anything about them, the only one worth cheering for now that Russell is gone is Rob.
I don’t think Russell ranted or threw a tantrum or cried like a baby. He cried briefly, but quickly regained his composure. He briefly expressed his disappointment in his teammates for throwing the challenge. And, he showed dignity in his exit.
I am tending towards rooting for Ralph. He is a lot of fun and seems. . . stable.
I like Rob of course but can’t imagine, even if he makes it to the final two, that a jury would vote for him to win the million.
Of course Rob’s got the people skills, so I suppose it’s not out of the question.
It seems from the previews that Rob is starting to figure out that he might want to keep Phil around. He’d be a good one to be in the final two with! He sure does make for interesting tv. Unstable! I hope competing in Survivor doesn’t hurt him. I think he is a nice guy.
Matt seems to be emerging as an underdog favorite. Even Russell had kind words for him. Rob seems to be the only one who doesn’t like him; probably because he knows he is a BIG threat.
