*EDIT: Thanks to whoever stickied this!

Well I'm a huge fan of Aras and Nick right now...haha. I think you know why.

Anyway - this season is AWESOME. I love how there are 4 diff. tribes. Let's you root for whatever sex/age you want.

Ok, they made a HUGE mistake by voting out Tina. Are you kidding me? Wow.

I missed it. Poop.

Wow. Despite the dumbass move by the old women, I LOVE this cast. I really do... They are all hilarious.

I'm so bummed at Tina being voted out. That sucks

Loved it, could be better than last year! My only complaint is that Tina was voted out over the ridiculously annoying Cirie. I wonder what that was about???

The younger men are a joke which really surprises me. I thought the women would struggle ala Amazon, but this wasn't the case.

So far my favorite tribe is the Older Men.

Tina was great. I thought she was sweet she was a hard worker but she failed to get to know her tribe. She isolated herself and that's a no no in Survivor. You can be the hardest worker but you need to play the Social Part. I thought Cirie was so ghetto. I loved her.

My early favorites are Cirie, Ruth Marie, Sally, Misty, Shane & Terry.

Jeff Probst has said he had many personal favs this season. And it was hard for him to see a lot of people go. He said this season was different for him.

I missed last night's. I will catch it next week.

Yeah, Danny, that's so true. Tina did isolate herself. I can't really fault Cirie for going after her, but it still SEEMED like a dumbass move and was definitely presented as one in the editing.

I felt so sorry for Tina being voted out. Her story about her son dying was soooo sad...

Anyway, what will happen if a tribe is left with only two people? Will the other tribes have to sit people out to level the playing field?

As for the Exile Island Clue I think it was Jeff's comment about "not bothering with the water". The fate speech came off as a decoy...

32 makes you a mature woman?

OMG, I would SO be on the mature woman tribe then, if I were on the show.....that stinks. I'm NOT old!!

Yeah, Danny, that's so true. Tina did isolate herself. I can't really fault Cirie for going after her, but it still SEEMED like a dumbass move and was definitely presented as one in the editing.

ICAM. The are the *older* women, and really should have kept the strongest one (Tina) at least until

the tribes got switched around. Stupid move on their part....I hope they go DOWN now!

I don't think Tina was the strongest. I think Ruth Marie is the strongest. Tina showed some major problems during the challenge.

Also, Survivor: Pearl Islands comes out on DVD tomorrow.

And I heard Palau is now the next season to come out on DVD. I really disliked that season.

when does africa come out. why are they releasing newer seasons and not in order?

It's all about popularity. Expect Africa to be one of the last seasons. They now have both Rupert seasons out and watch them do the Stephenie seasons next.

I hate when alliances dominate the show and becomes predictable.

I want to see some back stabbing dammit! Not the crapfest that was Survivor: All Stars!

Really hoping Cirie does some major scheming next week to get Shane voted out... he has too much power and control over the others.

Looking forward to how the Exiled do once they return to the tribe and have to vote.

Previews look interesting: Shane going psycho

Big wrestling fights between girls and guys.

Wow I felt really bad for Cirie & Melinda. I really hate Aras & Shane now.

My Top 3 is still Sally, Cirie & Misty.
