    I don't know. The best thing for Todd might have been for JR to have been voted out this week via some sort of weird collaboration of votes. That way he'd be rid of JR and wouldn't have gotten his hands dirty.

    The smaller tribe was stupid for thinking James would stay with them. He never even really signaled he would, at least on air. He mumbled his support once, but come on, they had to know they had about 1 in 100 chances of him staying with them.

    As long as Amanda is around and walking around in her underwear, the eye candy quotient is sufficient for me.

    The thing that killed me about Jaime is, OK, so James figured out the hidden idols and stuck two of them in his bag. WHY WOULD HE JUST LEAVE ANOTHER ONE SITTING ON THE GROUND, DUMBASS?

    At this point why wouldn't you take Courtney and JR to the final three. Nobody is voting for either of them. I don't exactly understnad why Todd is not saying to James "Hey dude, I gave you a hidden idol and told you where the other one was. How about sharing the love a little."

    Yeah, I'm a little surprised Todd doesn't feel a little ownership over at least one of them. He did flat out hand it over. They simply must have already talked about it. It's way too big of a deal for them to not have found a chance to discuss it at some point.

    The best part was calling the episode "I'm Not As Dumb As I Look."

    Anybody notice any time they show Amanda from the rear, they blur out her butt? Those must be some short shorts!

    Frosti must have been quite crazy from fatigue, starvation and sleep deprivation if he wanted to hit Courtney.
    Dude, she IS out of your league. Way below it. And with Amanda on the same boat (Erik had already used his move card on the departed Jaime)...
    Enjoy the cheeseburgers at Loser Lodge, friend, before James get there.

    Is it possible that they aren't going to try and take out James? Are they that dumb?

    The last two challenges have been balance and memory. There are seven people left. And chances are, they only have to get to the final three.

    Four challenges. Two hidden immunity idols. James only has to win two of four -- not a stretch at all if they involve anything physical -- and he can simply skate to the final three.

    This was the week to take out James. PG had immunity, and there is no chance that she is going to organize an insurrection. She'll surely go next week. Make that three votes James has to live through, with two immunity idols.

    Unless Todd thinks he's such a mastermind that he can take PG to the finals with him, WTF are they doing? This might be the dumbest group ever to play Survivor.

    Amanda owns this game. She's smart enough to sit back and let Todd be the front man for all the plotting (and he'll take all the heat). James is only a physical giant, Pei-Ghee is a drama queen who'll make great jury fodder, Erik is dead man walking, Denise is a complete nonentity, and Courtney...I'll start with spoiled and entitled.

    I just cannot believe that it never occurred to them to take out James this week, just like I couldn't believe it never occurred to PG that her challenge-throwing plan had HUGE holes in it. Just like I can't believe Todd hasn't even ASKED James for one of the immunity idols back.

    Dumb, dumb cast this time around.

    I've got to think they just didn't show it. I can't imagine Todd and and James haven't talked about the immunity idols since the merge. I think they have an understanding, but to have shown that it would have taken a bit of the suspense out of the votes.

    Its an interesting final 7. I wouldn't feel comfortable going against any of the final 7 in a final vote since there isn't an obvious a-hole. Courtney may just win this thing based on the final immunity challenge usually being a perch until you fall off type of thing. And despite the immunity idols James may have alienated too many people on the jury to get their votes.

    I'd love to think that, but two weeks ago they showed a clip where Todd said, "...and he hasn't even offered to give me ONE of them back!"

    And James would crush either Todd or Courtney with the jury. Might be unanimous. The only person he might have trouble with is Amanda.
