I'm still enjoying this season, but I don't feel like it would be that big a deal if I missed the show and it didn't record like last season. Shane was psycho, but FUN to watch. As for Flicka, she should have decided to play the game WAY back when Jonathan was telling her how to vote instead of waiting until Cau Boi was voted out. She deserved to go.

There all decent, Jonathan is the closest they have to a villain and he wouldn't stick out the least in some of the casts I've seen in season's past. I'm not hating this season, it's just not as interesting as others I have seen (my least favorite is still Thailand).

Originally Posted By Rsey103 That was the best episode of the season so far----and one of the best episodes ever. NOBODY likes Jonathan. He is misreading his alliance with Candace, yet somehow he survives in this game. Even after jumping ship and going over to the other team. If he wins this game it'll be HUGE. I loved it when the little team of 4 beat the bigger team and won the reward. Then there was Yul figuring out a different way to work the immunity challenge and coming from behind to win----again. Terrific! As much as I like Yul and Becky that Ozzy is becoming a strong favorite. He is just FUN to watch....

Originally Posted By goodgirl Well, perhaps you could preface it with ***SPOILER*** so we can avoid reading it.
Originally Posted By cstephens I know to not get in this thread after 5pm until I've seen the show.

I personally disagree with the East Coast people having to wait until the show has aired on the West Coast. If they want to discuss it after the show's over for them, I think they should be able to. Anyway, with regard to the show itself, I loved it. I've liked Aitu anyway, but Candice and Jonathan's defection made me want to root for them even more, and I'm glad they won both the reward and immunity challenge. I think Ozzy was the only one who showed emotion about the wins after the reward challenge, but you can't really blame him. I hope the four of them are able to stick together. I think Yul is my favorite. Level-headed, well-spoken, good all around - I'll forgive his choice of colleges. Brad has been pretty stupid in what he was doing and saying. He seemed too complacent and not paying attention to the situation. So I guess we'll see what's up with the jury starting at 12. The obvious problem is that there'll be an even number of jury members. Wouldn't it be funny if once they have all the jury members, the jury has to vote one person off before they can vote among the two finalists?
