I don't usually get all het up by Survivor, it's a great show and I enjoy it, but I agree, those two girls got me so annoyed tonight, I had to come and express it right after watching my tape, LOL!
As Jeff said, it was either very clever, or really stupid, and I'm hoping it was stupid, because I feel just as James did, hate that kind of play.
Being so obvious about it will hurt them as soon as it gets out to the others too, no one will trust them again so they'll be on the (s)hit list.
Serve them right, silly cows!
SusieS, you said it perfectly!
Now I can go watch another show, got that off my chest.  _________________ "One kind word can warm three winter months." ~ Japanese proverb ~

I had such a totally different reaction than the majority here.
I thought it was funny. I didn't get mad or disgusted with them at all.
I also thought it was an ingenious plan.
The biggest mistake female survivors have made in the past is not getting rid of strong and popular males. It may not benefit Pei Gee or Jamie, but it will benefit some of the "smaller" types in the final 10.
Also their thinking about numbers... that was good reasoning IMO.
I wonder if some of you gals are just mad because some eye candy left.

I didn't mind the plan so much it was the way it was executed. I hated the silliness and the giggling and Jamie's facial expressions throughout. JMO.
Yep, Aaron was nice to look at  _________________ "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

ITA. This game has been so physical so far that the smaller have to try and outwit to make it further in the game. Why help the other side kick off a girl and a smaller guy from your original alliance when you have the numbers in your tribe to kick off 2 huge threats in the game? Also, Peih-gee was the odd woman out if the new tribe of 5 alligned with each other in some way.
I wish the women could have played it off better and kept it to themselves (Jamie!!), but I thought they were no more obnoxious than other teams who have pulled off something together. And no matter how they played it, Jeff Probst seemed determined to call them out on it anyway. WTF with throwing that extra puzzle piece? I used to love him, but he's getting on my nerves. It may or may not have been obvious to the others who were competing what the women were doing at the time. Television made it obvious. And Jeff made it obvious more than once and drove the point home at tribal council for Aaron and James.
Yep, Aaron was nice to watch.  _________________

| Darn...I missed the episode and forget to tape it so cannot really comment. However, I will say that Jeff's inteference in the past has gotten on my last nerve. I've heard those tribal councils go on for hours with his poking and prodding the players (verbally, that is). |

ITA that the challenges have been so physical that the smaller people may have been smart in using this to get rid of some of the dominant males.
The laughing was a bit obnoxious but I'd probably be a bit silly myself if I was in their situation. It doesn't take much to give me a fit of giggles and have lost it myself once or twice in inappropriate places.
I'm giving the girls a break this time and we will know soon if it was a smart strategic move or just stupid. |

I hardly knew Aaron, so losing some eye candy didn't bother me, but it was the WAY they carried on that annoyed me.
It was a clever plan, IF they'd kept it under their hats, but to be so blatant about it lost them points with everyone, so it might come back to bite them in the butt. That's what was so silly. It's how you play that counts and they didn't execute the plan very well, you have to keep stuff on the downlow until your endgame plays out. Now that it's out in the open they've possibly screwed themselves over!  _________________ "One kind word can warm three winter months." ~ Japanese proverb ~
