I'm not sure how I'm finding this season so interesting when there isn't anyone I'm particularly rooting for (or against).

I guess I hadn't really thought about it that way. I think what's made this season so exciting are the blindsides, and the underdog pulling through.

But now we're down to the last 6. Russell has been the main focus, but I would love for any member of Foa Foa to win. I saw Galu as the enemy the second that Yasmin girl went crazy. They alienated Shambo, they basked in the sun, and they seemed useless (yet surprisingly smug and sure of themselves). I give Foa Foa a lot of credit for coming back from being down 8-4.

I thought the exact same thing. And when Russell was talking about how well he played the game and came back from being down, and Monica said, "You mean you used immunity idols," and Russell replied, "Yea, that's playing the game..." I kind of wanted to give him a high-five. She was probably just jealous because she couldn't find any of them to save her a** last night.

Since I'm rooting for the underdog, I would LOVE if Natalie somehow came away with the million dollars. Just because

Are there just two more episodes now? Next Thurs, and Sun?

There sure are!

I agree!!

Finally, some not-blindsides last night. I really don't think the Foa Foas are suspicious of each other as Monica thinks she's made them. I think M/J/N are too strategically unsound to realize that they should vote off Russell.

If I were any of the Foa Foas, I'd actually be trying to take Shambo and one other Foa Foa that's NOT Russell to the finals. Actually, I would probably say the same for Brett as well. If he had any shot at all, he could attempt to go with Shambo and Russell and hope to make Russell out enough of a bad-guy that no one would vote for him - or hope the Galus vote for him just because. But, if Brett makes it much farther, it's not really his choice as to who to bring - unless he starts doing some hardcore, effective scrambling.

And GOODBYE MULLET!

I realize that they have much, much, much more footage to work with that we don't see during the episode, but how did they even manage to make it look like Russell was in trouble this week?

All my money is on Russell for the win. I don't see Natalie or Jaison turning on him now, and juries typically respect good game play above "being nice". Although most juries also let the game go once they get to the Ponderosa...


One final note, though, that could change my answer above - I read an interview with Monica, and she said that it seemed to her that Foa Foa was working as a group and it really wasn't just Russell that was calling all of the shots. I'm sure he could paint it differently to the jury, though.
