Ahh, my eyes! My eyes! Has anyone else noticed that Heidi is starting to resemble Kane (Julian Beck) from Poltergeist II: The Other Side??

“God is in His Holy Temple! Earthly thoughts be silent now!”

Is Heidi trying to distract the male players with lust or revulsion? I hope one of them cringes when she bares all, I would love to see the look on her face.

If I was in that group, I would **not** want to see Heidi naked. Did you hear the note of terror in the voice of whoever was saying “I’m not looking!”

As much as I don’t like Rob, I think he’s dead-on about Matt. He’s one scary mutha. He seems to be that guy that makes too much eye contact, completely invades your personal space, and is oblivious to the relationships around him. Someone last week referred to him as “Skeletor” which is about right.

Completely reminds me of Crazy Joe Davola from Seinfeld.

After seeing that link, Heidi will always be Skeletor to me.

I have been calling Jenna (the swim suit model) Skeletor from day one. Heidi has managed to catch up with her but even on day one Jenna looked like a walking stick with skin.

man im surprised no one has yet to mention anything about our moral friend **Dave**. Where is his ranting and raving and whining and bitching when he heard the spin job \*\*Roger[/] was telling **Christy** about why they kept her in the group.

I can’t wait till **Dave** … Mr. I’m a rocket scientist, I’m better than you, and i can use big words like semi-translucent when see-through is what i really mean, jack ass of a contestant that totally needs his ass whupped… gets the boot. If he wins I’ll be really frustrated. If anyone wins this edition of Survivor, I’ll be frustrated. hehe.

my favorite castaway is now **Butch**.

Evil looking **Matteo** still scares me, time for a murder at the merger for Matteo. Now that’ll make the show more lively hehe.

**Christy** totally a dim-wit, follow the crowd, they’ll keep you in, then chuck you out when they praise your work ethic, oh and i need to keep mentioning get over the cuz im deaf mentality.

**Deena** playing a good game, insightful, but not really making me a fan.

**Rob** playing the game quite well, scheming-wise, annoying as hell, and please stop wearing that tank top, we can all see your man-boobs a whole lot easier with those giving some support.

**Shawna** finally you get the boot, that energy boost from seeing men is eerie.

**Alex** dumbass move on your part, telling everyone including murderous Matteo, that you’re gonna vote his way. Man, if i were you i wouldn’t sleep, or Matteo will come after you with the machete.

**Roger** nice spin doctoring with Christy, too bad that might spell trouble with your relationship with high-moral-standards dave.

**Heidi** man you’re withering away… still a dumb blond to me.

**Jenna** you must be quite pissed off at Shawna for taking all the men’s attention away from you. I guess that’s why you voted for her and not the psycho killer fish finder.

oh man, next week’s episode is going to be real masturbation television… wait, these girls are skeletons by now, i guess it can be used for eating disorder activists. I hope the merger comes so new tribe dynamics can appear. We can see how the men will react when seeing each other again (since they do have the majority number), and how the women will try and avoid the men ganging up on them. Rob seems to be making a jump with Matt but i need to see what’ll happen…

oh btw when is next week’s episode on? next Wed or Thurs? or is the Attack on Iraq gonna interfere with the scheduling? Oh well, just pray that this war takes only the lives of the those we deem evil and not the innocent.

Rob amuses me. He comes off as this cartoony/nebbish kind of guy who you have trouble taking seriously but underneath it he’s convinced he’s running the game. Hilarious. And he **is** kind of funny (intentionally, I assume).

Did you notice Matt’s skeletal look when he knocked his opponent off the log? Man! There’s nothing in there but backbone! Ick!

I just loved that scene when Deena got beemed in the head with the bone. Am I the only one who thinks she conjurs up images of Alice in The Brady Bunch? Looks-wise and her voice.

Shawna and Alex should’ve gotten an automatic boot for hooking up. What idiots.

Dave is hard to figure out. He may be the winner. Of course, the whole dynamic changes next week.

> Also if Shawna said anything nasty??

Shawna’s comments were basically “This has been a great experience. I had a good time. It changed my life. I like everybody. Etc.”

But sometimes actions speak louder than words. If you look closely as she walks away after dousing her torch, you’ll notice that Shawna literally took her ball and went home. Her luxury item was a soccer ball and she took it with her to tribal council rather than leave it behind with her former teammates.

I wonder if Shawna honestly wanted to be voted off when she said she’d rather go before the other two women or if she may have been thinking a generous offer like that might have instead gained support for her. If that was her idea it was a poor one; one thing that’s always been a bad strategy is hinting you wouldn’t mind being voted off.

She’s not great looking, but she flashed a very nice smile at one point. Of course, Christy still has the best smile.
