You were right. However, they made it seem like we'd be getting half an episode with nothing but her tirades, but we didn't hardly see any of her - NOT THAT I'M COMPLAINING. And once again, she's the feature on the previews.

I like how Espada was trying to say that the Medallion of Power was the reason they lost - even though they were WAAAAY more than two items behind. I wonder if La Flor was practicing the way Espada was, because they seemed to have a system in place as well (and their members actually LISTENED to Brenda).

By the way, I remember in the episode that they were talking about the Minorities alliance, that Nay and Sash called Brenda "Asian". Her profile says she won a Hispanic Beauty pageant, but her last name is Lowe. This all confuses me. I'm thinking that she's half Hispanic, half caucasian (dad, obviously by the name), because I don't think she's married. Not that this has anything to do with anything.

Next week: Drop your buffs...apparently the pecking order has become to obvious. That's usually when the team switches occur. It kind of defeats the whole theme of the season, though, if you mix them up. So, the question here is: Do we believe that it's an actual team swap, or are the producers bluffing?

I know. I laughed. Meanwhile, I think Marty may be the one having delusions of grandeur. I just don't get the sense from him that he's as savvy as he thinks he is. I know he talks too much and shows his hand too much.

Well, from what I said above, I think thet are mixing the tribes up some, though it could be a bluff. As I thought about it, it seems like often when they have had what I think of as these "gimmick" tribal make-ups (older/younger, men/women, but not Heroes/Villains) they don't let it go too far into the season before they mix things up. We'll see I guess.

I can't see Dan sticking around too much longer if they do swap. He can't do challenges, and he's a moron. I don't understand why you would wear $1800 alligator shoes on Survivor, much less admit that you're weak at challenges that involve mud when you're in the middle of the rainforest. They should have saved him for Survivor: Sahara. His only shot is either his new team going on a winning streak, or ending up on a team with Nay who doesn't appreciate minority status like Sash and Brenda do.

The Wednesday-not-Thursday reminder.

Don't know if anyone has seen it or not, but the preview at CBS.com shows which tribe almost everyone ends up on. I won't give that away in case anyone wants to be surprised, but there are a couple of people in particular for whom things could be very interesting -- and difficult -- tonight..

At least the new tribes are somewhat more equal physically.

at Nay. GO HOME HEFFA! I think they made a huge mistake last night.

Also, that challenge was terrible. That water that the girls were sucking in looked NASTY!

I found it really interesting that when there was discussion about sending Nay's soap opera twin home last night, we didn't see Chase mention that she has an idol. Did he keep that info to himself? Was it actually clear that Nay wasn't really in danger? Did he tell but the editors didn't show it (yet) because it didn't matter last night? Hmmmm.

Meanwhile, Marty needs to learn to keep his mouth shut.

I thought about the HII as they were at Tribal...I was wondering if she was really that ready to quit that she would let herself get voted out holding the Idol. I really think she's about the most insecure person I've ever seen on Survivor. Between the lashing out, oversharing, and literally being *afraid* of *rain*...
