From [Dalton Ross’s recap at ew.com](http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20345587,00.html): > [@](#): > > After a brief intermission consisting of shirtless Heroes carrying trees and Rupert complaining about Stephenie’s cooking, we were back to the Villains camp, where a cameraman was busy doing his best to recreate a point of view shot of Rob passing out face first in the jungle. Way to commit to the process, point of view reenactment cameraman! Although I do have a feeling Rob’s fall was not quite as dramatic, seeing as how when Jerri found him he was lying down on his back with some sort of strategically placed towel under his head to act as a makeshift pillow. I’m not trying to make light of Rob’s plight at all. He was obviously in very bad shape. However, you do have to admit, it would have been pretty damn funny if Mr. Point-of-View Reenactment Cameraman had shot it in the style of simply sitting down, slowly placing something behind his head, and then lying down on the ground. (And maybe even throwing in a yawn for good measure.) Or maybe it could have been shot all freaky-artsy style like one of Shambo’s visions from God. Hell, if you’re gonna reenact it, why not just go all out and do some network sweeps stunt casting? What about Ben Affleck? He’s from Boston and is no stranger to the Red Sox cap. Have him play Boston Rob for a scene or two. It actually wouldn’t be that far off from his turn in Gigli, and yes, I saw Gigli. Whatever. I don’t care. Just have some fun with it, is what I’m saying. I want to have Dalton Ross’s babies, if the whole thing with Derek Trucks doesn’t work out. ---

I’m in line for Dalton-babies, too, with this line- "Making matters worse is that fact that he was kind of talking in circles most of the time, uttering some mumbo-jumbo about the fact that she outlasted her entire tribe in Palau, although the way he said it was something along the lines of “She has been the only person in Survivor history of Boogaloo Shrimp to lose everyone in her tribe where robot kryptonite she is the only one who zigazigha left.” Maybe I could just have his kittens… ---

Keep an eye out for when the girls raise their arms above their heads to fix their hair, tie a knot, stretch, or what have you. You don’t see it that often because, I presume, the producers do their best to cut those scenes out (arm pit hair not being the most “TV friendly” thing and all). Every once in a blue moon though, there will be an important scene that can’t be cut, and you’ll catch a glimpse. ---

Yeah, every once in a while there’ll be a day 30 challenge where they have to hold their hands above their heads. It’s not a good sight. ---

[Randy’s secret scene](http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor/video/?pid=rW3dYOx30Fneiqpe20MktIZVw1X70kQD&vs=homepage&play=true) after Sugar was voted out. He does a little dance. And he has a shout-out to Corinne Kaplan {barf} from his season who was apparently invited to be a part of **Heroes vs Villains** but declined per the Gabon Survivor wiki article. ---

> [@Skammer](#): > > (although I’m warming up to Jeri, strangely) And, strangely, I’m beginning to agree. I had her pegged as a shoo-in for the “Survivor Wheelz Most Wants to Punch in the Face” award, due to her near-constant self-referencing about what a nasty nasty villain she is. But as of her confessional following the Boston Rob incident, she seems to be dropping the character a bit and allowing us to see her as an actual person. I don’t know how long she’ll keep it up, but so far that’s a lot more interesting than her phony “I’m such a bitch!!!” facade. ---

Friend Wheelz, Also, you have to admit that watching Jeri and Coach flirt is comically creepy. ---

I used to really like Tom. He’s getting on my nerves this season. I knew he was sexist but I’m starting to get flashes of racism from him. Seriously, why would Amber side with him when it was obvious that Colby, he and Steph had a strong alliance which would place her on the chopping block next. They just voted off two women. If I were the women, I’d be seriously worried that they were going to just keep picking off the women one by one under the guise of keeping the tribe “strong.” Cirie and Amber need to get smart and start insisting that some men go next. ---

Totally agreed. Enough with the hot chicks getting voted out! I sort of disagree about Tom in that while I got a definite ugly vibe from his confessional about James, to me it seemed more like a classist vibe than a racist one. Then again, who knows, right? Her name is Amanda, btw, not Amber. Amber’s back at home keeping the homefires burning for Boston Rob.
