It just occurred to me that if they give a way a car by audience vote this season I think Denise may win. Everyone has a lunch lady in their past who was nice to them when everyone else was mean. I have a feeling she won't be a backstabber and will be an audience favorite by season's end.

Anybody else feel like there really isn't much going on story-wise, because there's more than enough drama in camp? I mean Courtney v. JR, Courtney & Todd overhearing JR & James smack talk, PG vs Dave, Dave vs his tribe.... maybe that's why we haven't been shown an over-riding theme this season.

The only solid potential winner who was portrayed mostly positive early with only a shadow of negativity cast over him in recent seasons was Ozzy. However, Ozzy had something looming over him that Todd doesn't, a CLEARLY brilliant player in Yul. There are no clearly better players than Todd right now.

The Billy boot was incredibly negative to those involved. It wasn't a shock to see the ex-Aitu's at the bottom of their new tribes' pecking orders.

Stephanie lost and we saw her whining and negativity VERY early on. We were given all of her negative attributes during Guat in the beginning. People admired her on day 1, but that didn't last very long.

We were lead to Brian's shadiness as we saw his smugness and arrogance in his confessionals. He still won because Clay was portrayed very negative very early on.

We haven't really been shown any real negativity in Todd yet. We are going into episode 5 and still...

Amanda rocks in the challenges and the personality aspect...

she lies low and works in camp...

I predict Amanda/Todd/JR for final 3

Amanda - due to hard hitting naked comps
Todd - due to HII
JR - due to bullshitting

but overall A/T for final 2...

Yeah, I'm thinking along the same line with Jaborwok as well.

I thought they were preparing us that, even though JR is in his phase II mind game by being a better mate(Jeff's words in TVGuide preview before Thur. show.), it was too late.... That is the constant opinion Jeff had about JR. Being big, strong and knowing Chinese, JR could have done much better. His down fall is that he never even bothered to watch any old Survivors! JR thought of himself as able to read people...

I'm not expecting anything fancy this season. Todd's the frontrunner all the way 'til the end until the last vote is read at the finale.

If Todd wins, it's expected because that's pretty much the way Earl and Yul were edited.

If someone like Amanda wins it's sort of expected in terms of the way females are betrayed-flying below the radar and being less objectionable.

Nothing different-it's just a matter of what kind of post-All Stars...

I thought this episode revealed some kinda interesting stuff. I'm not going to arc everyone just those I thought had some interesting editing.

Todd: Todd seems like a good guy and a good player. He isn't overreacting like some (James and Courtney and Sherea) or overplaying his hand. He has good insights into how to deal with people on a social basis as well as a way of strategizing with them in mind. He is also good at the little...

I didn't think last night's episode did very much story telling. We've known for a while Dave was going, so we wrapped that up. Sherea suddenly went from mildly pleasant to heroic and then lazy, so, um, I'm guessing we just set up her imminent boot. Denise gets to speak, so apparently she does play some role in the game. Zhan Hu is happier without Dave, and manages to function. Fei Long is still complex, yet well-functioning.

I was interested by Frosti's edit...
