That was wild tonight. A Survivor first.

Yeah, you put two total whackos on a tribe together and that's what happens. The women on the favorites tribe were clearly shaken. Their fear seemed genuine.

I think it's interesting that Brandon seems to think he's just like his uncle Russell. I don't think he's anything like him, except for being short.

I hope the favorites continue to win. The Fans had a really bad strategy, almost like they haven't actually watched much of the show. Voting out the strongest players first, just because you don't like the "popular kids" clique of FOUR? You need to worry about beating the other team in the challenges first!

Oh, Corinne. Your plan probably would've worked if you hadn't gone blabbing to Dawn. Even if you had simply said, "Let's go with the easy vote [Sherri] tonight, then figure out what to do next," instead of "I don't feel heard! This isn't a democracy! I'm voting Philip out next!" your plan would've been fine.

I feel bad for the rest of her alliance, but she brought this on herself. At least she had a decent exit interview.

I loved that Cochran won immunity last night. And his cocky little dance. I ♥ Cochran!

Interesting night. So was the whole Malcolm gets Reynolds idol scenario cooked up - ?
Note that Eddie, Reynold, and Malcolm voted for Andrea, after Eddie flirts her up then tells her she is in danger. So she flips from Malcolm and votes Michael and gets a majority to go that route as well.

Brenda winning immunity is interesting. Has there been anyone who has talked less this season than her? By the way, who else has seen her in the cereal ad?

I thought that was a brilliant move by Malcolm because he wasn't sure whether he was on the chopping block or not. He managed to pull out Reynold's idol, not let on that he has one of his own, and saved his own butt for another day. I think he'll be a big target next though, because he showed how smart he is at this game. He is the type of player who could win multiple immunity challenges in a row, depending on the nature of the challenge, so he could continue on for a bit longer.

Actually if you look at the votes at the very end, Malcolm voted for Reynold. He was Reynold's only vote.

Could anyone tell what Malcolm said when he voted for Reynold? I replayed four or five times but never could understand it?

Phillip looks like more of an idiot every week -- for the founder of Stealth R Us, he just can't stop blabbing. It was obvious that his blabber at TC was casuing wheels to turn in Malcolm's head. If The Specialist had kept his mouth shut and if Andrea hadn't let her insecurities get the better of her, Malcolm probably would have been totally blindsided.

And Malcolm's move was brilliant.

Meanwhile, I'd be sorely tempted if it didn't mean money in the retired federal agent's pocket:

The Specialist: The Costa Rica Job, by Charles and Phillip Sheppard

That's hilarious!

He is creepy scary to me though.

Incase someone didn't PM you, Malcolm said:

"The idea was this was a throwaway vote. After Phillips little speech I don't know what's going on anymore. Hopefully someone doesn't screw the plan."

Thanks! All I could catch was "throwaway vote."

Interesting.

I love Phillip's crazy. The season would be much more boring without him. I miss the "?" next to his "Former Federal Agent" title, though.

Another brilliant move! That is truly "Outwit"

I'm on the fence about that being a brilliant move: I really enjoyed watching that Tribal, but I'm still worried about what the future has in store for those three guys. The numbers aren't in their favor - it's 6 to 3. Still, it was fun to see the huge smiles on their faces! I see the move as a temporary "Outwit" for now.

I was surprised... well, maybe not surprised... but I found it interesting that Eric switched. He was the only one, right?

Is it safe to assume that the recently played HIIs will be re-hidden? If so, those boys better start looking!
