I can’t blame Probst much for being irritated. I can imagine him thinking, “you just need to write down a name. A goddamn name! How f\* hard is that?!?” ---

How do people like Crystal think that being a complete asshole and complainer will get you anywhere in this game? Randy, too. He was so intent on just staying in the background early on, and then he just starts yelling at everyone. Maybe those many days playing the game just gets to you. I do think Charlie was happy to get voted off, so he could spend some time with Marcus. He may find the real life Marcus (as opposed to the in-game Marcus) less interested in his affection. Kenny is great, and I hope he wins. He’s had a huge confidence boost, though, even if he doesn’t. And, yeah, Bob’s fake II was fantastic. I’ve liked him from the beginning. He’d be my second choice to win if Kenny doesn’t. ---

> [@John\_Mace](#): > > How do people like Crystal think that being a complete asshole and complainer will get you anywhere in this game? Randy, too. Randy might be trying to play the “I’m so unlikeable, take me to the Final Two/Three with you and you’ll be sure to win” card. Crystal, on the other hand, just seems loopy. Her emotions are all over the place, crying one minute and crazy ranting the next. I think she’s just losing it and has no plan whatsoever. ---

> [@squeegee](#): > > I can’t blame Probst much for being irritated. I can imagine him thinking, “you just need to write down a name. A goddamn name! How f\* hard is that?!?” Same here, and one of the many reasons I wouldn’t make a great game show host is that I would probably end up saying something like that. ---

As if we needed more proof of Ace’s toolishness, he was arrested for punching a woman in a bar… [QUOTE=IMDB] Former Survivor contestant Ace Gordon has been arrested in Florida after he was reportedly tossed out of a bar for hitting a woman. Gordon, a failed contestant in the hit U.S. series Survivor: Gabon, was taken into custody at Collier County jail on Sunday and released the same day. According to the Naples Daily News, he was charged with disorderly intoxication, obstruction of an officer and resisting arrest without violence.

Snerk. ---

That’s even better. And it wells up certain feelings of joy in me that I can’t really describe. I think the Germans might have a word for it. They have a word for everything. ---

I actually came in here specifically to check if someone had posted about this. Maybe he was distraught about having to watch himself get booted and then see the game go on without him? Or he could just be a jerk. ---

Did you guys see the previews for this week? Randy has a plan to act like a jerk to everyone. Possible because Bob has tricked him into thinking that either he has the fake immunity idol and will save Randy with it, or that Randy found the fake one at exile island. Crosses fingers!! ---

The “be a jerk” strategy is a time-honored tradition. It can get you into at least the final four, because everyone hopes to go up against the jerk in the final vote. ---
