Talk was mostly about Lisi (did she really want to be playing the game, does she fit in) and Rocky (does he trust the others). Funny how Jeff seems to know where to focus the conversation.

Rocky's Final Words
Aaaahhh! I'm extremely pissed off . . . . they got me really good. . . smacked in the mouth with a cinder block . . .

Jeff Probst's Final Thought
Based on what I heard tonight Rocky didn't see it coming and if it can happen to him then it could happen to any of you.

After a meltdown and a night at Exile Island, one Survivor must prove to their tribe that they're ready to play the game. Can this Survivor turn the tables and win over their tribemates or will this be the end of their time in Fiji?

Rumors

Jeff Probst admits: This Survivor season sucks!

From TVgasm:

Survivor host and keeper of the flame Jeff Probst is biting the hand that feeds him, coming out and admitting what viewers have known for weeks now: This season hasn't been up to snuff.

"I cannot argue with the audience. I can feel that it has not been as fulfilling because it has been unfair. " Jeff says of Survivor: Fiji. "If you look at this (the rich-versus-poor twist) as a mistake then we certainly didn't have luck but I will say the season isn't over yet."

Survivor heading to Canada?

From TV Squad:

Finally, one of my wishes might come true: Survivor is seriously considering moving the show to a colder climate.

Rocky v Anthony; Earl Overconfident?

Rocky Knocks Out Anthony
Early on I kind of liked Anthony, I thought he was going to be a cunning player due to his quietness. I mistook his meekness for strategy and playing more of the social game. Well, I was really wrong.

However this does not mean that I think Rocky was justified in his harsh treatment of Anthony. Rocky appears to be a real ass and who would want someone like that in an alliance with them?

Earl Overconfident?
Big Earl is sure full of confidence, he thinks he's in charge of Moto. Will the others sense this and turn on him? He hasn't been a hard-ass leader and his alliance with Yao-man is a smart one, who would really suspect those two of being in cahoots?

Note: now that my computer situation has stabilized, I intend to post more. If you're interested in my computer woes then you can read about them here: My Ubuntu Project.

Adios Anthony
