Sorry to keep beating a dead horse but AMANDA IS SO HOT!

Now, you want it on your feet, or on your knees beggin'? I ain't much for beggin'. Nobody ever gave me nothin'. So I say, fvck it, let's fight."

Re: Survivor: Micronesia (Fans vs. Faves) Premieres 2/7/08
This episode has some fascinating parallels and they really made me furious. You have Jonathan, playing his heart out, with an abcessed knee, forced reluctantly to leave the game in tears. Then you have Chet, just begging to get off the island. I can't stand people who go to the trouble to be vetted for these competitions and then collapse like rusty lawn furniture and want to go home? Jonathan had been given a second chance of a lifetime to compete and you could tell he was all in. How much better to include Terry (fighter pilot) from Exile Island or even a fan that was strong and competitive. How many folks would have killed for the spot Chet just gave away.
I'm going to join the chorus for feeling an entire all-stars competition would beat this format. The fans as a group just can't hold a candle to the strength, and competitiveness of the all-stars.
Ozzie best watch his back. If Cerie is smart she'll pull an alliance switch with the fans in her tribe, pull the other favorite defector with her and take out Ozzie next time they lose. Cerie is running alone and will happily throw her entire tribe under the bus and go to the merge solo if she must. She is one of the most effective people manipulators I've seen, all while seeming sweet and likable.
My vote for player of the episode was James. That man is a bull, carrying the platform and Parvati through the water. Other tribe coulda used Kronk, but Cerie engineered that ouster to her benefit and no one elses. I also appreciated James comments. He recognizes that he's not the best talker or people player (hence his alliance with Jonathan); he also recognizes that in this tribe of women, he has a target on his back. His only way to survive long term is keep winning for his tribe and later for himself.

Re: Survivor: Micronesia (Fans vs. Faves) Premieres 2/7/08
Jonathan certainly got a tough break from that infection. I was sorry to see him leave...but with that oozing puss wound on his leg and pain up to his groin there was never any doubt that he would have to. Too bad....he was one that I wanted to win it all. 
I guess Ozzy and his team are sorry for releasing Kronk too early now.....they could have used his strength in that immunity challenge. With James power lifting those platforms across the course like that, they didn't have a chance.
Also......very glad that Chet is gone. They finally got rid of some useless baggage instead of strong, interesting players for a change. Hopefully Cirie is next.
Have to agree regarding an all-stars edition over a fans vs. favourites.....for the most part, these fans are a boring and weak lot. All the strong and interesting ones have been voted out already (Chet obviously not included among them)...those remaining are relatively uninteresting and annoying.

My wife kept wondering why we didn't see Jeff Probst rip Chet apart at tribal like he has done with the other survivors who have asked out of the game. Probst has, historically, shown no patience or tolerance for anyone who wants out.
My guess is it happened...but to simply keep the suspense for the reveal of the vote (Chet or Ozzy), the editors didn't let us see it. Whaddya think?

Oooops! Thanks for the correction on Tracy/Terry!
There's Jessie the yodeling cowgirl. Bullseye, he's Woody's horse. Pete the old prospector. And, Woody, the man himself. Of course, it's time for Woody's RoundUp. He's the very best! He's the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west!

Most likely......If I were Jeff, seeing that shiftless sad sack in the challenges and at camp would have irritated me to the breaking point. I'd have to make an example of him as a matter of principle - especially after seeing a worthy player like Jonathan devasted by being forced out of the game.

And don't forget his powerfully dangerous medical condition! 
I hope he didn't face amputation.
I love the way they made it look like right after Chet announces to the group "Well, I think I've got to go home."...Ozzy runs over to him, gives him a hug, and says "that's too bad!"

Oh....I can think of a couple of things that need to be amputated. He certainly didn't show any need for them while playing this game.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but there was something about a little smirk that flashed across Tracy's face after they lost that led me to believe she threw the challenge so she could get back the numbers. It's possible they edited out the part where they wanted to lift the thing, but she declined (they did try to do that with Amy after all).
The whole fake HII was absolutely hysterical. I loved when they did a close up on the hastily carved face. My wife and I cracked up over it.
I don't think there is any way a group of inexperienced fans could rise above a group of tested and experienced favorites. Throwing in Kathy and Chet imbalanced the game even further.

I just hope Jason didn't get any splinters from the faux HII after he stuck it inside his pants.
I was even digging's Amanda's Axel Rose look.
