TOTALLY agree, especially when returning players from past seasons of SURVIVOR get booted-off.

Alright, Tyson's strategy is to get rid of the couples, right? And that's why he wanted to vote out Laura, right? Here's my question about that... Since RI is still in play, and we know that (at least?) one of the players from RI will rejoin the tribe, wouldn't it make more sense to get both family members on RI (like Arras and Vytas were) in order to make it impossible for someone to come back and join their loved one? By having both Tina and Laura on RI, if either one of them wins, the tribe will still have to deal with a team.

Just trying to figure out why Tyson thought it was better to vote Laura instead of Katie. Especially since Ciara said she would vote out her mom (and then followed through)...

Every All Star is a threat because they've played SURVIVOR before, so Laura had to go. Only ONE person eventually comes back from R.I., and it COULD be Vytas (newbie). Tyson probably knows the strategies of returnees, but can glean easy strategy info from newbies who don't know enough to shut up.

Will there be a final three or Final Two? There are 11 people involved. A final 2 means nine jury votes. Final 3 has eight jury votes, unless CBS has the public vote for a winner and count that as one vote to break possible 4-4 tie.

Tyson will probably keep a player that does not need the money (Monica) and a useless-to-the-tribe newbie (or useless Returnee if he has to) for his final three.

I think it really comes down to ... Katie is a lot cuter. They aren't making their decisions based on logic

^^ Ugh. I hope that's not how they're playing. The newbies might be playing that way, but I really would be surprised if that's what Tyson is basing his votes on.

The only reason I say that isn't because I think he's unaffected by Katie's attractiveness, but that he's pretty upfront with the camera crew about what he's thinking/explaining why he's doing what he's doing. I really think he would've said something along the lines of keeping Katie around as eye candy if that were part of his game-play. He seems too strategic for that to be his MO.

Am I giving him too much credit? I don't particularly like the guy (I don't particularly dislike him, either), but I think he's playing a fantastic game.

Sad news: Tina's son/Katie's brother died in a car accident earlier today.

Colton's fiance was was killed in a freak train accident. I really liked Caleb.
