Ok, so only one out of the three duelers leaves. Interesting. I'm not sure I see where they're going with that. Are they going to let two people back in the game, or at one point are two going to be eliminated from a duel?

Oh, Philip...you went there. You. Went. There. You are crazy. And by crazy, I mean mentally unsound having nothing to do with the color of your skin. That kind of crazy.

My guess is they'll get to a point where one person gets back in the game. And there were a few moments last night when I really wondered if they were foreshadowing my dream scenario, where Matt comes back in and wrecks Rob's plans.

That would be awesome. At this point, the two times it makes sense (to me) to bring someone back is when all the Zapotera are gone or the final challenge.

I forgot to mention my big question mark from last night...why Julie? She's not a challenge threat (as much as Ralph & Steve) and I doubt her stealing Phillip's shorts had anything to do with it, since she only admitted it right before the vote. Strange.

I also wonder when any of the Omatepe are going to wake up and realize that there are only 2 Zapotera left before they have to start turning on eachother and SOMEONE has to go. Does Rob really have them all THAT convinced that they're going to Final 3 with him? I know Andrea realizes that she's not in Rob's F3 plans, but will she do anything about it? They're running out of people who could help with a blindside.

That's what I don't get at all.

For me, I'd like to see the RI exodus coincide with the final challenge. Actually, I'd like to see a final challenge with the winner deciding which loser will stay at camp and which loser will go to RI. The three people at RI would compete in a final RI duel, and the winner would join the two remaining Survivors to make up the final 3.

Random thoughts regarding current RI folks - I bet Julie is relieved to be away from Phillip! Why is Matt so down on Survivor? Is it the game itself? RI? Would he be belly-aching like this if he were still at camp? It just seems so out of character for him. I can see either Mike or Julie beating him now. (I kinda hope it's Mike.)

I'm really pulling for the underdogs here, so I'm hoping Steve and Ralph find a way to make a monumental move. I'd like to see Andrea and Grant team up with them.

One analysis I read said it was because Steve and Ralph have proven so ineffective at challenges lately -- Steve sat one out that he knew he couldn't do, and has said numerous times he's "done" -- that Julie was the best chance for beating Matt. Given the clip last week of Rob talking about how he keeps sending people to RI that he thinks could beat Matt, I'd say that's a reasonable guess.

Just a random "What if.."

What if Ralph or Steve finds a hidden immunity idol, and what if one of them wins the immunity challenge tonight?

Obviously it's a long shot, but I think it'd be fun to watch Ometepe scramble to decide on who to vote out.

And I kind of wonder who would be the first Ometepe to jump ship and befriend the 2 remaining Zapatera members in order to try and secure extra votes..?
