Survivor - Fiji (spoilers)

[Mark CMG]

Moto Lisi, Moto Lisi,
Men unclaimed you . . .


`Bout time, IMO. Plus, good to see that, of those three (Alex, Edguardo, and Mookie), it was Mookie who got the immunity idol. Nothing personal against the other two, but Mookie needed to catch a break since he's been on the tough island the whole time and hadn't had very strong players with which to make a solid alliance up until the split.

I'm looking to see Stacy get the boot soon, too. The way that she and Lisi treated Dreamz and Casandra early in the game needs to be finally redressed. I have no doubt that Stacy is just hoping that all or most of her old alliance buddies hang on until the merge. It'll be interesting to see the faces of the Ravu people when the next challenge comes up. I think Stacy will see the writing on the wall when she sees that Lisi is gone and realizes that Alex and/or Edguardo must have voted Lisi off, thus the old alliance is definitely broken and unlikely to reform when the merge comes along. I think after the next reward challenge, before the next immunity challenge, we're going to see Stacy scrambling with Boo to make a new alliance with anyone in Moto who will listen.

I think Earl will need to get Yau Man, Cassandra, and Michelle together to firm up their fearsome foursome alliance. I bet we hear some talk about what to do after the merge, too, from the fearsome foursome about Mookie and Dreamz as a potential fifth person to add post-merge.

Then, again, maybe they will merge at the start of the next show, or allow Ravu to choose one member of Moto to come join them, or rescramble the tribes again, or feed someone to the sharks or that Orca they keep showing!

Anyway, we'll see what really happens soon enough.

Lisi's decision to tell them the immunity idol clues is as dumb as those guys then telling Mookie, who's not even in their alliance, about it.

I thought it was pretty funny of the editors to have Michelle saying that she and Stacy fill the same role, and then show both cute Asian girls laying out on the beach together. Yes, the marginal-utility-beyond-eyecandy role definitely is filled by both of you.

I hope Lisi gets royally ticked when she watches the series and sees that she lost the immunity idol through her own dumb actions....

I'm glad she is gone. I didn't see anything that she brought to the table.

I actually started to like Michelle after last week's episode. She did a good job as the caller in the immunity challenge, and then- at least the way they edited things- she seemed to be the major force behind their deciphering of the "cannibal island" clue, which shows she's got a pretty good head on her shoulders.

Mainly, I thought it was hysterical how she fell off the platform while calling out to Yao Man.

I thought she might be a good sleeper pick to click but now that they have shown her more, perhaps she being set up for a fall (pun intended).

Odd question, how many camera men are there on survivor? Is there a camera man for every person? That way if they all split up there is a cameraman for everyone?

I guess the reason this question came to me was I wonder what happens during editing. I wonder what scenes they cut....who they chose to focus on this week because they know what happens next week...how much do we get jerked around because of editing....

For me this is my first time watching survivor. I have avoided all the ones before, but my fiance likes the series....hence I'm watching it.

I know that the show doesn't air within a week of being taped, anyway. There's an online Survivor Live show you can watch through the CBS website -

http://www.cbs.com/innertube/

- (the episodes are also available there the day after being televised, including all the way back to the season premiere). Within a couple of days of the episode, Survivor Live will have the person who was last voted off the show. Recent dump-ee Rocky appeared to have gained a good twenty pounds. I think I had heard that all contestants have NDAs until after a season finale has aired, so I assumed they tape the whole thing and then edit the episodes to put together as compelling a season as possible, whilst taking full advantage of the whole cast to weave a confusing through-line. Hard to say if they focus on someone new to show how well they are doing or to make sure we see them for at least a little bit before they get axed.

Bye-Bye, Michelle.

Bye-Bye, Michelle.

That sucked.

I can't believe that idiot told Dreamz about the Idol! Some people are clueless.
