Anyone else watching this season? It feels like there have been a few major mistakes, especially the second vote on the last episode. If you're not the strong team and you're deciding between two people, shouldn't you keep the strong one so you don't lose every challenge?

Will voting off Vince and White Collar voting off So before the weaker girls didn't seem like great decisions either. Sierra seems too angry to logically play her cards right now. So far I've been most impressed with Tyler and Kelly on a strategic level, though Kelly was screwed a bit by the team swap.

I get what you mean about voting out Max over Shirin, but that team isn't winning challenges regardless. The swap definitely favored the one team, but in terms of team dynamics, the switch-up turned out pretty great. I wish they had kept 3 teams for another week or two, but we'll see.

I understand booting So; she was caught in a lie and was part of an alliance of two. Jeff or someone also mentioned that she was a drain around camp. Why keep her? Considering they didn't lose again, it clearly didn't hurt them in challenges.

3 of the 4 eliminations have been females, right? With that one tribe being all-male except Sierra and likely to keep winning barring another swich-up, post-merge will be full of guys.

I almost wonder if Sierra will propose throwing a challenge to the non-Blue Collar guys. No Collar's in a weirdly strong position on the red tribe - Carolyn won't team with Shirin, and once one's gone, No Collar controls the vote. Will could be pulled away from the girls though, under the right circumstances.

It looks like Rodney and Joaquin team up, though, so I don't know if that group will stay split along original tribe lines. In fact the Blue Collars considered booting Rodney over Lindsay because they can't trust him, and I wonder if they would have voted differently had they known a switch was happening so soon.

Great moves by Mike. I'll be wildly impressed if he can control one tribe and Kelly can somehow control the other, but we'll see. For now, Tyler's hosed and Mike's my new favorite, even if those attempts to throw the challenge were beyond hilarious.

Really having a hard time caring about any of the contestants. Annoyed by a lot of the sexist comments that went unchecked.

I'm not a fan of Jaoquin, but I feel bad he got sent home considering it was Rodney who wanted to throw the challenge. But then Jaoquin trusted Rodney, so...

I'm not loving this season. It's fine in general, but I haven't latched onto anyone in particular.

I wish Joe had given his immunity necklace to Hali so then Dan would have gone. I don't know why that kind of thing doesn't happen more often since players seem to know for whom the other side is voting (like Jenn last week).

[eurocheese]

Does Joe have an immunity necklace? I know Mike does now. I think he's the only one.

I would love to see Dan go though. Rodney's even worse. Not very many likeable people this season. I hope Tyler wins at this point.

[misplaced validity]

Joe had won immunity, so he could have given it to Hali. But it just occurred to me that he probably can't do that after voting has taken place, so never mind.

And, yeah, Dan and Rodney are both obnoxious.
