What security? The spoiling community is getting better and better at figuring things out before the seasons even begin. They had the Amazon nailed thanks to the ChillOne spoiler and the online betting scandal, and they’ve had the F2 of this season more or less figured out since the cast announcement. MB seems to have come to the conclusion that additional security would do little good–spoilers don’t hurt the ratings, so why worry about it?

Nothing of substance to add except that **elf6c** made my week pronouncing Darrah to be “the female Boomhauer.” I shared it with my husband and we haven’t stopped laughing.

I have to think that best added security is to throw a few decoy spoilers out there to cloud the picture.

If you’re talking about Lil, she’s from Cincinnati. And you appear to be from…Minneapolis?

I’ll leave it at that…

Well, since the merge, of all the rewards that have involved two or more people, excluding the reunion reward, yes, she has.

There was the breakfast with Burton on that little island.

Then there was the beer and pizza on the boat ride with Jon.

And, in the latest episode, the dinner, the overnight stay, the breakfast, etc. with Jon and Darrah.

So, in other words, all the RCs that involve food.

All I can say about this week’s episode was that my enjoyment of watching Darrah and Christa playing topless reward challenge was spoiled by the fear Lill would fall out of her clothes as well.

Thank you for nailing exactly what I have been thinking about her!

According to the Yahoo Premium extra interviews (extra footage not broadcast), the interview the day after Christa was booted and named Rupert one of her best friends in the game,

She had to get away from Rupert and tell him to chill out because all he does is bitch and whine about getting voted off and it was driving her crazy. That’s just pathetic.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Rupert was like that with Tijuana and Ryan also. Ryan, especially, when it was just the two of them. I mean, just looking at him at the past two tribal councils, it is very obvious that he is still pissed.
