No thread yet? Show starts in under an hour, guys! Or is everyone else boycotting because Gary is gone? Anyway, here’s our description:

This might be the first time I’ve ever seen a player’s name indicated directly in the episode description text. Huh. Interesting. I kind of hope it isn’t because she’s going home this week. I don’t particularly like her, but she’s playing a good game, and at any rate, she isn’t Stephenie, so she’s better than the alternative.

Also: If I’m not around later, it’s because I drank 4 liters (!!) of Mountain Dew (!!!) for breakfast today, and then had this stuff my boss’s wife makes called “Brownie Delight” for lunch – which is basically chocolate-covered crack with Cool Whip. So probably I passed out, or else entered rehab. Just so you know.

Actually it doesn’t start for three and a half hours.

Ha ha! Best exit ever! Finally, someone left and actually showed that they were supremely upset and bitter about it.

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

A few thoughts:

How gay do you have to be to have your _mother_ be your overnight guest?!

Speaking of which, kudos to the ladies. This season is starting to remind me of the gender wars season. Will Rafe be able to pull a Chris? I wonder if the rest of the season will devolve into catty bitchfest 101, with four women and a gay guy. I honestly don’t think it will, but here’s hoping. (It makes for great tv, don’tcha know.)

Danni better be careful…if she loses another 20 pounds, she’ll be almost as skinny as Dolphin Boy. _::shudders::_

As gay as Colby Donaldson, I suppose.

Stephenie has made a terrible mistake in judgment, IMO. She was practically guaranteed a spot in the Final Four if she’d have just kept her alliance. Judd has shown all along that his loyalty is with his “Jersey Girl.” Twice he took her along on his reward challenge and there were absolutely no cracks in his steadfastness in his plan to take Steph, Cindy and Rafe to the Final Four. Why in the world did she turn now? If she was going to vote a threat off, she should have voted Rafe off, who has won, what? 3 of the four individual immunity challenges?

Now not only has she shown that she cannot be trusted, because she stabbed her truest “friend” in the back, but she has also pissed off Cindy.

If Danni can stick it out past this next week, when she’s still in the minority, I think she’ll be sitting pretty. I would imagine she’d have Gary’s vote, Bobby Jon’s vote and probably Judd’s vote vs. any of the remaining players save maybe Cindy.

Gooooooooooo Danni.

Wow, Danni was doing a superb job of shit-stirring this week, wasn’t she? I about died laughing when Judd left. Scumbag himself! He was already counting his million, so it was great to see him get the shaft like that.

So at this point there’s a whole lot of testosterone on the jury. And that’s ALL there is, not a drop of estrogen in sight. I’m still trying to figure out how it will shake out for the final vote – although I’m sure if Steph makes it to final two (which I absolutely _do not_ see happening now that Danni helped her basically destroy her own alliance) we’ll hear some outstanding bitterness from Judd.

It’s kind of sad when even crazy Jamie can summon more pretend grace about being blindsided than supposedly non-crazy Judd, though.

It always amuses me when someone starts to think that they’re the only ones who realize they’re playing Survivor rather than Card Sharks, then get all upset when they’re stabbed in the back. It definitely speaks of a “what’s good for me ain’t good for you!” mentality.

Judd reminds me of Tom last year - he was willing to lie to people when it was a good idea while convincing himself he was the most honorable man in the game. Apparently a lie only counts when someone tells it him.

Oh, I just wanted to mention…

When Judd’s wife was so amazed at Judd actually knowing how to do things, I blurted out “Judd! You’ve become…USEFUL!”

Oh, and HOWLIE!

Judd’s exit was just as classless as nearly his every other action on the show. As a fellow New Jerseyan I am embarrassed by his behavior.

Steph’s also an idiot. I agree she should have voted off Rafe. He’s the only left that I really like and respect.

Did anyone notice that Cindy’s twin is named Mindy? What an icky pair of names! All that time in the jungle has made them look a lot less identical.

I still hate Stephanie. I’m glad she is destroying her alliances…scumbag!!!  
Did you notice how when they were bidding on their loved ones, the two that were trying the hardest (with the help of borrowed money) were the ones that could have sex w/their loved ones…Stephanie and Judd. Well maybe Rafe could have too w/his Mom. 😛

Go Rafe!

Nah, too skinny and her hat bugs me. And Cindy is cuter.

Steph was a lock for the Final Four, and she blew that guaranteed position. Assuming the F4 were Steph, Judd, Rafe and Cindy (S. and J. because of their alliance, R. because he kept winning Immmunity, and C. because Danni wasn’t part of the group), I think all of the players would want Judd along because he’s an oaf. I think Rafe would be voted out because he wins all the time. Cindy would fall in the IC. Steph and Judd to the Final Two.

But Judd’s gone. How’s it going to shake up now? I’ll think on it later.

I just loved the “Everyone’s paying the game, whether they say it or not. …Someone has to go for everyone else to stay and they should just get over it” speech that he immediately seemed to have forgotten giving, as well as his “I’ve never lied to any of them!”

Moron. It’s like he thinks by his saying it, it’ll be true. Judd, we have you on tape lying. You admitted to it and admitted to getting caught lying!

OK, so I went to bed really early last night (seriously, I was asleep by 7:45, but in my defense I took two Benadryl by mistake because I was buzzing around the house from all the sugar and the caffeine and the crack and the chocolate and I kind of forgot how to count there, for a minute), and … wait. I had a point, but now I can’t remember what it is.

Oh, yeah. **jayjay** , it’s a shame that we live so far apart, because I’d love to watch these shows with you. Because this is _totally_ something I would say. It’d hit pause on the TiVo and turn to you and say, “These people _do_ realize that they’re not playing Card Sharks, right?”

So, thanks for that.
