Tonight’s episode looks like it’s going to be fun. Ghandia fighting with Ted, Tommy Lee choking Clay, very interesting stuff there.

So, who’s going to get the boot ?

From the Chewy Tribe

Ghandia- The whole sex scandel and she seem like quite the drama queen

Helen- She doesn’t really seem to fit in with the group, but I don’t really think she’s going tonight.

Jan-Older, weaker and shown iritating Helen

From the Sucky Tribe-

Tommy Lee- Could be voted out for killing Clay

Stephanie- She’s sick and she doesn’t seem like she’s getting along with anyone

Jed- Doesn’t want to work with the rest of the tribe.

What do you think ?

I’ll stick with Stephanie, especially because I think her sickness will be what costs her team the immunity challenge.

And, while both Ted and Ghandia probably had a hand in whatever goes on tonight, I’ll say the bigger fault lies with Ghandia just based on her character development from the previous 2 episodes.

This may or may not be news to you guys, but there’s an article **with pictures and video clips** on the Playboy website pertaining to the Used Car Salesman dude, I can’t remember his name. It seems that, in addition to selling cars, he’s quite the porn star. Has been in many movies. I THOUGHT he looked familiar!

I’d link to it, but the mods would just remove it. But it’s there, shouldn’t be hard to find.

I’m all over it, **dragongirl**. 😃

Ghandia clearly needs to go soon before she rips her tribe apart. Like I mentioned last week:

She thinks she’s smart, attractive, and good under pressure. Pardon my _patois_, but **she ain’t!** It quickly became clear to me why Burnett & Co. gave us a nice shot of Ghandia resting her hand on Big Albert’s **inner freakin’ thigh** once we saw the accusations hinted at in tonight’s teaser.

It’ll be interesting to see the mayhem ensue!

Hey **//\etalhea|)**, his name is Brian. The smoking gun had something about his career as a porn star. Pictures too.

Tonight’s episode had _better_ make up for last week’s yawn-o-rama.

I’d like to see the Soup Guy tribe lose immunity this week, or the Chewing Gum tribe is really gonna be in trouble.

And I think Brian’s porn career is pretty much limited to the soft-core variety.

If Soup Guy loses immunity, I hope Jed or Stephanie goes. Robbb’s an idiot, but I guess we need him around for entertainment value.

If Chewing Gum loses yet again, I hope they boot out Crying Granny Jan. She annoys the crap out of me.

I really enjoyed Ghandia’s vote for Helen last week.

Something along the lines of how she felt Helen didn’t perform well under pressure.

Ghandia, who failed miserably at a minor logic puzzle thinking the woman who instructs and works with Navy Seals can’t handle pressure.

Part of me desperately wants her gone because she is a pretty irritating person. The other part wants her to stay because she is really, really high on the unintentional comedy scale.

Ghandia- Not to mention she singlehandly lost their first challenge and didn’t do well on the other. Loud and slow.

Jan- lazy (nice floating!!), slow, none-too-clever, lost the challenge for them, and cry’s at the drop of a hat. She will stay for now, but not beyond the next 3 weeks.

Stephanie was gone last week if they lost. Unless something changes- she still is. Jed is next. They both made major mistakes setting themselves apart from the team so much.

“Tommy Lee Wanna Be” got back into the team a bit more last week. If he avoids actual homicide he is safe till Jed and Stephanie gets the boot.

Mmmm, Survivor.

Like last week when she wanted to lift her shirt and flash her boobs at the other team to throw them off … during the game when they were all BLINDFOLDED?!? :smack:

Ghandia, you are a moron.

Not to mention full of herself. Umm honey look in a mirror. **Nobody** on that island want’s to see you naked. Especially the other team which is loaded with some real lookers.

And that shattering scream on the beach from the previews? Ghandia loves her some drama.  
I’m going to go with either Stephanie or Ghandia.

From [TvGuide.com](http://TvGuide.com)

The tribes compete in a reward challenge to gain the help of two soldiers who will assist them in making the most of their resources at camp. A third contestant is voted off the island. Jeff Probst is the host.

Ghandia is toast if Chewing Gum loses. If Soup Guy finally goes to TC, it’ll depend on whether/how quickly Stephanie recovers from her illness. If she’s healthy, I think they’ll toss Knobb, since the editing last week was clearly designed to make it look like he was redeeming himself prior to an imminent boot–remember Jerri?

The TVGuide thing is not a spoiler, **elf6c**. They always say something similar at the end of the preview. Island, tribe, all the same in TV capsule writing.

Mark Burnett has been much more careful about giving away the boots in his promos this time around. He telegraphed nearly every one of the early boots last time around, and things were fairly predictable once John and the Gang of Four were overthrown. I think Acme is flailing around a bit this season.
