He may be a much better sport, or actor, than I was giving him credit for.
Glad he’s gone, though. I don’t want anybody sullying my memories of machete-sharpening-restaurant guy from Amazon as Craziest Player Ever.
I didn’t take it that way at all. To me it came off as one of those faux macho overacting moments. You know, pretend you’re not about to start bawling by playing up the “good game yeah dude!” sentiments.
That’s how I took it.
Man, was he pissed at Lydia!
I had to miss the vote, so how exactly did it go? Why would people still vote for Hogeboom if he provided the one shot idol? Didn’t he have to present it before the vote?
And links to stills of the mud wrasslin? 
um, that’s what I meant by “or actor”…
The immunity idol was last week. This week, Jamie & Judd voted for Gary; everybody else voted for Jamie.
How about the look on Judd’s face when he realizes he wasn’t in on the vote switch. Those guys better be damn sure they have a solid new alliance, because they just shook things up considerably. I’m not sure that was so smart.
Rafe has come a long way-- from can’t climb 3 rungs of a ladder in the first challenge, to winning the (very physical) IC last night. Yeah, he better start watching his back, so to speak.
Good show. I felt so sorry for Lydia, but I still couldn’t help rolling on the floor lauching as she inched her way thru the mud. It sucks to be short when you’re fighting mud…
When watching the videos from home, I wonder if any of them noticed what a grand house “landscaper” Gary’s family seemed to live in.
I am beginning to think that there are lot of Sean Keniff’s in the remaining lot. As middleman said, nobody but Gary seems to have a strategy. But, again, since I like Rafe, I don’t care. It’s going to be sad when Gary and/or Rafe have to leave, because I lurve them both so very much.
Just one question about this: is there really a wrong reason to vote out the monkeyshit-crazy person? That aside, I actually think getting rid of the people you don’t like is as valid a reason as any to vote someone out. I personally would want to keep my friends around me for as long as possible so that I can butter them up all the way to the Final 2. But, I’m also nuts.
The 15-year-old kid who cuts my parents’ lawn gets $25 an hour. Landscaping can be lucrative if you’re any good at it.
I was so hoping one of Gary’s kids was going to say “You’re in the red zone now! Throw a touchdown daddy!”
… or that there’d be a bunch of football trophies behind the couch, and his helmet on a pedestal or something… “oops…” but you figure his family had to be in on it… kind of like Johnny Fairplay (“she died, dude…”).
I’d just like to say that if Judd has actually changed the way he’s been shown, he’s done some amazing work cleaning up his act in just a few days. I realize it could all just be creative editing, but as it stands now, I wouldn’t mind if he won. If he can go from that look on his face at TC to winning the game, he’s earned it.
Matthew said in interviews that the machete thing was blown out of proportion. He was using the machete to shave every day so he needed to keep it sharp.
“LAH LAH LAH!!! I’M NOT LISTENING!!!”
I remember Amazon Rob wondering whether he was going to murder them all in their sleep…
Unfortunately, I am hearing spoilers that say Gary is going to be voted off next episode, so I guess his charrmed life ends soon. Shame, but not unexpected—with the exception of Tom, no one I like ever wins Survivor.
There most certainly is. You need to vote in a way that gives you the best chance of winning. Duh!!! Jamie was very good at the physical challenges, so he’s a threat in that sense, but you’re just courting peril when you break up an alliance.
Jamie would’ve been the perfect partner for the final two, though. You’d almost certainly win in a vote against him.
I gotta wonder if Judd has a big target on his back now. Steph said she was with him from the beginning, but obviously not enough to let him in on the switcheroo. And, he’s a big challenge in the physical ICs (although if it requires 1% brainpower, he’s toast; witness last night’s IC).
Also known as the “Colby Donaldson”. So very true.
Remember when he blew the million dollars in Australia?
Or when he got ousted by Jerri in All-Stars?
He made Howard Dean look tame.
YEAAAAAH!
That’s what I was hoping too! I did notice that his family was filmed more close up than the others, except Danni’s dog. So maybe it was to hide all the football decor.
RikWriter, out of curiosity, where did you read that particular spoiler? Because I’ve seen something else. Just wondering.

So, of course we’re all focused on the drama in the survivor camp.
Meanwhile, somewhere nearby is a little compound where all the jury members are kept while they await their next cameo appearance at tribal council. And the only two people there are… Bobby John and Jamie!!! There’s a testosterone explosion waiting to happen!
I think we have to look for new bruises and scars when they come into the next tribal council. Or, if only one shows up, we’ll know the reason why. Perhaps we have a new spin-off series in hte making: Survivor - The Jury
