Okay, I didn’t see one yet for tonight’s show, so if I somehow missed it, let a mod know. Parvati’s wheeling and dealing so fast even she doesn’t know what alliances she’s in anymore. Pissing off Amanda by making deals for her without consult was a bad idea, though. God, Ozzy works FAST! I have a feeling some quality time was spent on Exile Island last episode. Amanda was not happy about that…Alexis made a fairly major enemy by scooting right for Ozzy’s arms. Alexis reminds me of Nia Vardalis a little… Natalie, on the other hand, appears to be a human/extraterrestrial hybrid. There’s something just…wrong…about her head. And when they showed her walking in the jungle with Amanda/Parvati (can’t remember which) and Cirie, her arms were about half again as long as a normal person’s. Weirdness… What was with the bats on the table?! Ewwww…James just dug into those! I half expected him to start singing “Crazy Train” or something. I thought there was only one Ozzy on the island? 😃 I can’t watch competitions like this one very well, the same way I can’t watch someone having an asthma attack in a movie (_The Hand That Rocks The Cradle_ did a number on me with the scene where the mother starts wheezing after discovering Julianne Moore in the collapsed greenhouse…). I end up having trouble breathing myself sometimes just from sympathetic reaction. Y’know, Eliza really should have told Jason, “Okay, if you’re so sure this is the HII, give ME the necklace and use this one!” Goodbye, Eliza…we barely got 15 minutes of your trademark paranoia this whole season! ---

Going by the preview, we can assume that Ozzy **doesn’t** get voted off next week. That was a bit obvious, even for **Survivor**. But he’d better have a rock-solid allaince, or keep winning immunity, because the idea is out there, and they’ll get him sooner or later. Better hope he can shaft Cirie or Parvati next week, just to be safe. ---

Jason calling Ozzy arrogant was the very height of irony. What a dumbass. He got lucky that his crow nose could push a quarter inch higher through the steel bars and fancied himself to be the better man. And then the whole thing with the stick. I just can’t wait until there’s something actually athletic so Ozzy can beat his ass. (I’m assuming Ozzy doesn’t win immunity next week since the preview showed him hopelessly ahead in the challenge.) All this targeting of him is a waste of energy and strategy. I feel like his monkey is going to help him by sabotaging such plans. (“I’m a monkey, and Ozzy’s the Zookeeper!”) 😃 On Cirie… I like her interviews. She has a good grasp of the overall picture, and describes it well. ---

By the way, **jayjay** , I agree with you about the necklace versus the stick. In fact, if Bugeyes hadn’t been so stupid, she wouldn’t have acted like it was fake. She would have manipulated him into doing exactly what you said. “Ya know what would really be dramatic? If you gave me the necklace at tribal council and then play the hidden idol yourself. We’d make Survivor history together!” He would have been dumb enough to fall for it. ---

And I agree with you on Cirie, **Liberal**. This season wouldn’t be half as entertaining without her Greek chorus in confessionals. ---

[QUOTE=twickster] Serious question – can you tell them apart? or is that completely irrelevant to your enjoyment?

Hell, I can even tell the guys apart. James is Goliath, Ozzy is David, Erik’s a monkey, and Jason’s a douchebag. See? 😃 ---
