    Patrick, Kathy may be the swing vote, but then again, she may be the odd tribe member out if they choose to gang up on her. Despite some grousing, they have certainly been following the path of least resistance voting-wise since John was booted. Regards,

    Okay, I should have worded that better. :) Thursday is the most coveted night for a large chunk of advertisers who are willing to pay top dollar. Regards,

    Matt, Thursday is the most watched night of television. A lot of key advertisers who want Americans to spend money on their stuff over the weekends (e.g. movie studios) spend their big bucks on Thursday. CBS presumably makes more money being a close second on Thursday than they would by...

    I agree with many others here that the Rotu-4 completely missed the point of their alliance -- to make immunity unnecessary. They should not have even worried about whether Sean won immunity. They could just as easily have voted off Vecepia without tipping their hand to the other former Rotus...

    There has yet to be an episode this early in the game where it was more obvious who was being voted off. My wife asked me why they were spending so much more time with Rob last night, and I replied that it was because he was going to be voted off. The person being voted off usually gets...

    A non-specific to last night's episode commentary: I find it somewhat amusing how often a contestant's name is spelled wrong during the tribal council votes. I would love to see an edited together tape of characters discussing how to spell each other's names from all of the shows. I imagine...

    Further creedence that the former Maraamu's made a smart play is evidenced by the fact that Gabe voted for Rob. Gabe was obviously not interested in forming an alliance with anyone, and just voted on merit. He was like an independent candidate who refuses to affiliate with a political party...

    All she needs is a raft to sleep on and a guy with a pronounced Good Will Hunting accent to keep her warm. Oh, and a can of Deep Woods Off. Regards,

    Charles, Find me the person who suggested that and I will agree with you. Regards,

    The most sublimely perfect moment on last night's episode was Kathy rationalizing how she got everybody lost by saying that the problem was that her tribemates just were not used to being lost like she was since they were not from the same sturdy spelunker mindset. That was beautiful. I also...

    Lots of people, be they stupid or genius, speak exactly like Rob. Rob, be he stupid or genius, played the "political game" much better than Hunter. Unfortunately, they needed to be playing the "team game" at this point if they wanted to win any money. I have also seen no televised...

    ***The Official Survivor 4: The Marquesas *** thread

    Personally, I think a lopsided Survivor is a promising Survivor. If they go into the merger at perfectly even strength, that makes for a good dynamic initially, but once the upper hand is gained, it gets predictable until the last couple of shows. If they go in wildly lopsided towards one...

    My prediction for next week: Kathy will use the snorkeling gear to catch a very large fish. She will demand that the rest of her tribe "kneel before Zod" and carve idols in her likeness, praying to them thrice daily. She will be nonplussed when they seem to resent it, claiming that they are...
