Well, I missed most of last week's episode, but I saw enough to know that only Russell was eliminated from the game.

I saw bits and pieces of last night's episode (I watched the VT/UNC game), but again, I saw enough to know the end result.

I'm not sure I understand why Shambo is now the leader at Galu. I get that the producers want an identified leader of each tribe (have they told us why they want this?), but I don't get why SHAMBO - of all people - was chosen. Was it random? It just seemed so odd. But then, at the challenge, she had to identify someone to make decisions about keeping the point or the matched item. Was she not allowed to make the decision (even though she's the leader) because she was not participating in the challenge?

I'm starting to feel very lost. It seems like there are lots of random rules thrown in this season. We're still in the dark (AFAIK) about the hidden immunity idols (can Evil Russell, who doesn't seem so evil anymore, use the one he found at his own camp?); we just learned last night that a leader has to be identified in each camp (but we haven't been told why); when Good Russell had to be eliminated due to injury, no one else was voted out, but when Borraci (is that his name?) had to be eliminated due to injury, Foa Foa still had to vote out someone else. There just seem to be a lot of rules that don't have much backing. Maybe I've missed to much of the season to be making these comments... I'm sure if that's the case, someone will fill me in.
