I would have liked to have seen Jill throw her vote at Marty. I know she didn't know how the numbers would shake out, but it would have made it interesting, since we already know those people are terrible at contingency planning. And it's not like she would have anything to loose - one of them was going to be gone anyway. I think it very well would have been an opportunity for them to get rid of Marty without Sash "breaking his word".

What the heck at us being at the merge next week and I still don't really know everyone's names. I see the Kelly that's still around and I think "Who the hell is that?".

I don't know why, but the sound effects they were using for Jud during the reward challenge were cracking me up! And el oh el about him peeing in the pool. Yeah, gross, but he had a point about the water already being nasty-dirty.

That would have been awesome, but it would have taken Jill and someone else to vote for Marty to keep her in the game -- otherwise, it would have been a tie and Marty probably would have won the tiebreaker.

Meanwhile, I really couldn't believe he gave Sash the idol. Yeah, he was going to lose it either way, but if he had played it, no one else would have had it either.

And what about Sash's slip? Brenda and Jud both seemed a bit taken aback at that.

Ah, Sash... I don't think they can trust him as far as they can throw him. I think he meant what he said. I also think that if he's going to lie, he needs to get better at it. When Jeff asked if he would hand the idol over, he should have immediately responded in the affirmative (and then he could have thrown in the caveat that there was no reason to at that point). And I'm still convinced that he is gay. Not that means anything other than he was a liar from the start.

At Nay's behavior on the preview. Not that I expected less, but I hope it backfires big time.

Me too - that is going to be ugly.

Okay, about the Marty non-vote, I don't get it. Was Sash trying to be honorable?

You mean the fact that they voted Jill out instead of Marty, or Sash not voting for Marty?

Per the voting clip at CBS.com, the agreement was that Jill should be the one to go. But it apparently was also decided that Jud and Jane would vote for Marty just in case there was a second hidden immunity idol and Jill had it. Were she to play one, that would result in a tie between Marty and Jane, and Marty would have lost the second vote.

Had it been me, I would have lobbied to take Marty out instead of Jill.

And did anyone notice that at TC, Purple Kelly was wearing Jud's shirt? And speaking of Jud, I now take back what I said last week, when I took back what I said about Jud early in the season. (Follow that?) We did see strategic thinking out of Jud last night -- we even saw Sash asking him what he though the plan should be -- and we also saw that he wasn't as enamored of Marty as last week made it look like he might be. Propst makes an interesting observation in his blog:

Everybody keeps saying Fabio is crazy, or maybe not the sharpest tool – but I wonder how crazy he really is? Is he playing everybody including us? That was my question from day one. I was never sure if his surfer boy responses were 100% genuine or a bit of a character he’s created. I’m guessing a bit of both.
