Everybody loves Steph. Where's Loyal? He'd agree with me.

Okay, watched the first episode. Actually... it was much better than I expected. I think I enjoy seeing people suffer, especially Bobby Jon. It's even more evident to me that he is there because of Steph. They wanted her back, and he likely just was asked because of her. Although, he probably didn't know how grueling the experience would be again. Hope to see him screw up some more, and get sent packin'.

I wanna see Bobby Jon "devolve" further into a Troglodyte and start yelling/screaming at every challenge, like the deranged manimal he is.

If she's not voted out first from her tribe, well, I won't do anything but I'll be mighty upset.

Hurray for strong women (other than Steph)

Boo for weak vomiting men.

Dumb twist btw

So ahh, why didn't Yaxha use Stephenie in a one-on-one tug of war challenge? Anyone? Bueller?

CAN SOMEONE TELL JEFF TO STOP REVEALING THE WINNER BEFORE HE EVEN REVEALS THE FINAL VOTE????? HE'S BEEN DOING THAT FOR A FEW SEASONS NOW. HOLY CRAP, PEOPLE.

Now that I got that off my chest, I'm just going to say that I loooove Stephanie, and I'm really liking Lydia. Glad she wasn't ousted tonight. I'm mighty pissed Jim, the old guy, was voted out on the first episode. The older people are the COOLEST people on the show, damnit.

PEACE, Mike.

Was I the only one that could see how absolutely pathetic Rafe was in the reward challenge and how Lydia was able to get a bag and actually made up some time? And they think she's the weakest link?

Last night's elimination was rather anticlimatic, as Morgan had hardly been featured at all up to that point. I wonder if Brianna (the young brunette woman) of Yaxha is going to turn into another version of Palau's Jenn, as I don't think they've even showed her saying anything yet.

I also noticed how poorly Rafe did in the reward challenge. It seemed like Lydia was working hard to me (she wasn't even *that* slow, I don't know why they were so down on getting her out first).

I loved when Danni outed Gary, although he made up another lie about not being a quarterback. He's going to get into trouble for that later.

It was because of the notion that Morgan was going to be better at all the balance challenges they have to do *eye roll* because Lydia was just stumbling around all over the place. I still don't get where they determined the better balancer, I think it was Amy who brought that up, maybe she's a better balance inspector than I. I'm glad Lydia stayed and that someones on to Gary.

I didn't catch the first episode.. but this one was OK. I really don't understand the point of the NFL star not to tell others that he is a retired NFL star. Really. Funny that one of the others noticed him and was trying to confuse the other team. But those conversations... seemed set up for some reason. I know we're past the stage of trying to prove if Survivor is real or not, but it just seemed scripted for some reason.

Exactly. Lydia actually got a bag and got it back, whereas Rafe was just pathetic.

Finally saw the second episode yesterday. Can't say I'm overly enthralled with this season. I wish Big Brother was still on...

He thinks it's going to expose him as a strong member of the team.

Although he doesn't see that he has almost no body fat and looks like a professional athelete anyway.

Which would be bad, why? Most gameplay strategies in the early part of the game involve voting off weaker/older players. I guess he likes thinking ahead.

But if it's ever "revealed", then he's going to lose trust unless he does some good explaining. He better get a 2nd boat next time he goes to tribal council to fit his ego in.

It think he'd be worried because he already has enough money, if he was a NFL player he doesn't need the million.

Wow, I'm so glad Brianna is gone. She was pretty useless in the immunity challenge, she just stood there and didn't do anything. At least Lydia works hard at camp and actually tries in the challenges. Yaxha just seems to plain suck, even though I want them to do well.

Attention, Brianna: If you want people to not vote you off in this game, don't stand around (literally) in immunity challenges in a catatonic state.

I think Judd is a favorite to win. I see him going far. Brandon too.

Um, ew? I don't like either of them.

God, they're all so unlikable. What's the guy's name with the curly black hair on Steph's tribe? Hate him. He's so goddamn arrogant. And an idiot. Amy reminds me of Twila from Vanuatu, and I hated Twila. Steph is the biggest fucking sore loser I have ever seen. Poor baby. Her tribe lost all the challenges last year, and her tribe lost most of the challenges this year. What does that tell you?

And who gives a fuck what a pick is? Ooh, they weren't in sports, they must suck! Bullshit. The only one I actually like is Rafe.

There we go. Now that's actually a good reason. I thought he was just doing it so he wouldn't be a big threat.

Steph, Rafe, Lydia, Jamie, Cindy, Judd, Margaret, Brooke? Um...they seem a tad outmached physically against the new Yaxha.

Steph has the worst luck ever.. I think she dooms any tribe she gets on.

Um, bye Brooke?

Judd is, most likely, an idiot.

Judd made a good move. He didn't feel a loyalty to that tribe (damn, it's only been like 9 days) and to position himself with Jamie and Steph seemed too good to pass up. Besides, I don't think Jamie and Steph are that loyal to Rafe or Lydia, so it's not like it's beyond the realm of possibility that Judd could not stay over them if it came down to it. People shift all the time in Survivor, I bet Margaret is just pissed it wasn't her.
