Dude, you didn't *make* any fire. But the whole "bad wind" thing brought back long-forgotten flashbacks... /cs
Originally Posted By LacyBelle I agree, cstephens. If the causasion tribe had lost immunity, I could see Flicka being the one voted out. That was a pretty bad mistake in lifting that box. They had a great protein advantage with those two chickens and lost it. I was surprised Jeff didn't continue that conversation before the challenge and make them confess to the other tribes that they no longer had the chickens. I also found Cao Boi to make an impression. Every tribe has an outcast that makes things interesting and he's the one there. He did get rid of the headache, though.

Oooookay
Originally Posted By sun-n-fun I thought the "I love you's" were kind of weird at the time, but I wouldn't have assumed it meant "love ,love" How anyone could even think of throwing a challenge at all, but especially this early, is beyond me. No matter how annoying a teammate is, they need the numbers.

I am so thrilled, I love reading past players insight into the current game (although Scout and her novel length posts get old fast).
Originally Posted By hightp Did it strike anyone as strange, that the Hiki tribe did not know how to use the magnesium fire starter? You're suppose to scrape a little pile of magnesium from one side, then get a spark to light it, from the other. They seemed just to try to light kindling with sparks (which they finally managed). I hope their fire doesn't go out, they may not be able to start it, again.
Originally Posted By Shooba I just don't think throwing the challenge was a good idea. Was he really that annoying and was it really that much of a hardship to provide him with food and water? I really think they should have tried to win, and if he were to bring them down and make them lose a challenge, they've got an easy vote to make. Will be interesting to see how this plays out long-term. The last team to throw a challenge had more of a strategic advantage at that point in the game, if I recall correctly.
Originally Posted By Autopia Deb >>>The last team to throw a challenge had more of a strategic advantage at that point in the game, if I recall correctly.<<< True, but if I remember correctly, it still didn't work out too well. Even if it did, 5 players doesn't leave enough cushion on your team for that kind of strategy. They had better be every bit as strong as they think they are
Originally Posted By hopemax What happens if the next challenge doesn't suit their skills and they lose? If they didn't throw this one, then they could jetison the dead weight. Bu,t obviously, they don't think much of the Hiki tribe and think coming in last won't be an issue. But if that guy was as creepy as he came off at last night's tribal council during the rest of the time...
Originally Posted By Autopia Deb I don't think Billy was awake long enough to be stalker creepy with his tribe, lol.
Originally Posted By Kala ^^^ LOL! Well they have me coming back for more next week. No one really stands out for me either, so it will be interesting to see how things evolve.
Originally Posted By LacyBelle It was a risky move to throw the challenge, to be sure. With tribes this small, you never know what is around the corner and could end up with a huge disadvantage numbers-wise. In the end, it may not matter. In the previews for next week, it looks like four tribes will become two. Will they just pair up the tribes and still have racial splits of a sort? Or will they do the old buff pick thing and move people around all together?
Originally Posted By Lisann22 Remember the season where they put them all in the same camp but didn't merge them. Some assumed they did but Probst never said that. That would be kind of interesting at some point. I found it odd that they would so willingly throw a challenge risking that they could end up another Bobby John and Stephanie where they don't merge right away and when they do, you might be the only one going with no alliances.
Originally Posted By cstephens We were wondering if Yul had given Becky the immunity idol for tribal council. Wonder if they'll tell us next week. Loved when Cecelia (?) told/asked Candace about Billy. I think it would have been hard to keep the tribes still separate with that few people. I think the original split along ethnic lines is still going to be in play. Now, you're not just having to decide whether to stick with your original alliance, but there's also the "we're the same kind of people" mentality to factor in. Yul used that on Cao Boi (sp?) to get him to change his mind about voting out Becky. I noticed that after the immunity challenge, Yul made a point of waving goodbye to his two other former teammates, who were now on the other team. Bad move though - he should keep his cards closer to his chest. Is Flicka (Jennifer?) really that dumb? She sounds like an airhead, though she sounded a little better when she was just talking to the camera. Ozzie did *not* look happy after the vote. /cs
