Buh? The immunity that Twila won _was_ an endurance immunity! Why do you think she won’t win another one? Eliza’s a stick with no long-term strength, and Chris is a big lummox with balance issues.

I think Chris’s balance issues arise when he is moving while balancing. If he had to stand in one place for a really long time without moving, I bet he could do it (he IS a highway worker, after all). But he also strikes me as something of the Richard type – if he survives to F3, then he is the sort who would strike a deal: “I’ll step off this log and let you two battle it and hope that you’re both convinced that the only way you have a chance to win is if you take me with you.”

I just had a thought–

Get over it.  
Grow up.  
Get on with it.  
You’ve been had.  
Screw you!

I want that on a t-shirt.

And just in case anyone didn’t think Ami was a _total_ bitch, allow me to direct you to \*_DavidB_’s interview with her over at RNO:

Yeah, Rob. He was one of my favorit Survivor players. Never cocky, always self-depricating.
