It's on now, people.

Well, I didn't like that the yellow tribe (can't remember their name) lost immunity, but at least they got rid of one of the annoying people. I've come to the conclusion that Hunter is probably Superman on his spare time, and should definitly be the one to win. By the way, did they cook those shell things they found? It didn't look like it. Also, why didn't one of the people that had no problem swallowing those things in the immunity challenge pretend to not be able to swallow it. They knew what would happen if there was a tie, so it just makes good sense to try and fool the other team. You would think after it was done on previous Survivor episodes they would understand that the other team picks the worst eater. Oh well, maybe next Survivor. To recap, Sarah is an idiot, Hunter is the man, Survivor contestants should watch more Survivor episodes.

Although I initially liked Patricia, her nagging really got on my nerves, so good riddance. The part where the guy was eating the fish and vomiting is the grossest of the gross-out contests from all four seasons (IMHO). Things are definitely coming to a boil, but just wait 'til the merger.

When your friend is fighting not to spew forth his stomach contents, the one thing you DON'T yell is "Keep it down, Rob!" But OK, no one can ever be prepared for these challenges. It looked like Patricia was pulling her weight, even though she was getting on some nerves. But I really can't wait until Kathy, the Rotu mother figure, hits the road. MAN, is she irritating. She's so preoccupied with trying to justify her worth that she's overlooking all the little things she needs to do to earn acceptance. When you go out and obsess over finding food, then make a big deal about it and imply that everyone should be patting you on the back, no one is going to appreciate what you're doing, because it's glaringly obvious you're not trying to help anyone but yourself. I figure she'll be voted out faster than you can say, "Hey Kathy, do me a favor and shut the hell up."

One thing that grabbed my attention was the dead middle split between Maraamu at the end. Hunter, Gina, and Patricia (the hard workers) voted for Sarah because she's unproductive and pretentious. Sean, Vecepia, and Sarah (the lazy asses) voted for Patricia because she's overbearing and they quite simply resent being told to do anything. Rob was the deciding vote, and he stuck with the lazy half, probably to reinforce the bond he has going with Sarah. He talked about wanting to use her as a pawn in the future, but it looks to me like it might turn out the other way around. I feel the nobler motive belonged to Hunter, Gina, and Patricia (the hard workers) and I was disappointed to see Rob choose the path of least resistance. He was a good worker.

Oh man, I noticed that too. Maraamu has a major fissure forming between workers and whiners. Rob, it seems to me, is cutting his own throat by attempting to use Sarah. I guess it's possible that it could work-out the way he described it, but more likely he will end-up carrying her only to find himself alienated from the rest of the tribe, taking the long walk with Sarah's knife stuck in his back.
