[QUOTE=John Mace] I forget to mention the best line of the night. I don’t remember it exaclty, so I’ll paraphrase: _The guys are trying to figure out which pole is longer._ Said by Jeff during the RC when they had to erect a series of poles to make a staircase up to the platfrom. Classic!! [/QUOTE] I thought it was, “The guys are still busy trying to figure out whose pole is longer!” Even better. ---

[QUOTE=Little Nemo] The Black tribe and the Spanish tribe lost members when they lost the early challenges. So the numbers were against them in the tribal shuffle. [/QUOTE] Which is even more maddening when you recall that the Latinos threw their challenge to get rid of Loverboy. BTW, may I add that Jenny kicked serious tail on the puzzle challenge? And I’m not just saying that because I have her in my Survivor pool. ---

[QUOTE=Lamar Mundane] As it stands now, there are four of the original five whites, four of five Asians, two Hispanics and two Blacks. [/QUOTE] _nitpick_ Actually it’s 1 Hispanic (Ozzy) and 3 Blacks (Nate, Sundra, Rebecca). Freaka was long overdue for a vote-off. One of the more annoying contestants since I’ve been watching, IMHO. **Brad** : “I’m better at puzzles!” Except that the puzzle doesn’t mean squat if you can’t retrieve the pieces! He needs to get over himself real soon before he ends up in the Rich Rankings “Beef Jerky” category. Jonathan reminds me a little of Sarge (Lea) from Vanuatu–except for a personality! Either he or Brad needs to go next! I still say Jenny from the Asian tribe is the one to watch. Yul will probaly make final 5, but will go by 3. Decent season so far, but a lot of the contestants are BORING! Cao Boi was the most entertaining–sorry he went so early. This season needs a Jamie or In-Shane to perk things up! ---

I have nothing useful to add, except that at one point in this episode, there was a shot of Ozzy’s midriff (is it called that for a man?) coming out of the water, _and for a second I forgot which season I was watching_, because it _totally_ looked like Ian. Also, I don’t care _how_ hungry I am … I am _not_ eating fire-roasted seagull. No way, no how. Also … there are still like 100 people left. When does this season end? January? ---

We’re down to twelve. I’m guessing there will be one or two more double elimination episodes. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/survivor-11-2-same-ol-same-ol/378926.md?page=1)
