Ugh I am so tired of Crystal! I REALLY hope she goes home next week.

Randy: yes, that was poor sportsmanship and probably will come back to haunt him. I was starting to change my opinion about him after the last couple of challenges until the taunting.

Crystal: absolutely worthless. I can't wait until her pissy attitude is outta there. She contributes nothing and complains non-stop.

Dan: what is up with the hogging all the food?

Mattie: he is emerging as my favorite

Kelly: good riddance. I cracked up when Ace made that comment at tribal council about how she probably wouldn't understand what he said

I could have written this post!

Me too! If that girl can win a gold medal, I CAN TOO! She doesn't appear to do anything.

I am glad to see Kelly go. And loved Ace's comment also.

I'm starting to like Ace more and more. He is playing the game! Starting to for Sugar also.

I liked Mattie, but saying he has a pact because he gave his word on his girlfriend and Ace did the same on his Mother, that's going to get him into big trouble. Just can't be done in this game.

Crystal has too big of a chip on her shoulder, but I am wondering if her body is so use to certain diets due to her training if it is shutting down. Just a thought.

Dan eating all the food was just ridiculous and Randy was just wrong!

Can't wait for the next episode.

I still can't figure out why Sugar trusts Ace so much.

She was telling Kenny?, the gamer, why she aligned herself with Ace. I can't quite remember what she said but I believe she wanted to align herself with one of the stronger players. This has been done many times in seasons past. But you can see she doesn't totally trust him, she took the idol back as Kenny? suggested. But in doing so, confirmed that she had it to the others.

I agree that this is a lackluster season. I was expecting more since it was in Africa.

I think the one I am going for this season is Sugar. I still don't really care too much for Ace (that accent has got to be fake - it seemed different last night) but I want him to stay in the game longer just to keep Sugar in the game. Mattie and Kenny the gamer seem to be growing on me as well. Still don't like Randy.

I thought Crystal showed poor sportsmanship too. She gave the finger to the camera when she revealed her vote for Kelly during tribal council.

I saw that. That is pathetic they would act like that. Crystal seems crazy (in a bad way).

I usually hate it when one team wins all the time and the other one loses but it will be nice to the Fang tribe gone. I don't dislike Mattie or Ace but the others are a sad lot.

 

[swandiverpatt]

He had little to no accent while talking strategy with his team mates, but it came back thick for tribal council. Cracks me up, like he's trying to impress Jeff.

 

[gometros]

I got a kick out of Ace's reaction during his interview when he heard the elephant behind him.

I also loved how Sugar gave Ace the idol, then casually took it back without telling him first

 

[JBurke]

Didnt Crystal win her medla in track? If so, I would have thought she would have performed a little better in the running around with the snake on your back challenge.

She is pretty useless.

Yes she is useless. I believe she did medal in track but everytime they have anything to do with running she appears so slow.

I thought they had said she won her medal in the 2004 olympics. If so that was some time ago and if she hasn't been training she wouldn't be in shape. I just googled her and it said she currently works as a high school track coach.

 

[NowaSki]

I too think Ace is faking his accent. There are times it comes on so thick, and other times he has no accent. I think he is getting too cocky and if Sugar is smart she will get Matt to flip on Ace before the merger.

I can't wait for Randy to be sent home. From day one I did not like him.

That was really immature of Crystal during the vote.

 

[TnTsParty]

Crystal also won her medal on a relay team so it wasn't soley based on her abilities. I agree that she probably isn't training like she did for the Olympics but if she is a HS track coach then she sould be able to give a better effort then she has been!!

 

[4greatboys]

I don't expect her to be in her best shape ever but I expected her to be in better shape and to do better in the challenges.

Aside from that I just don't like her. She seems to have a really nasty streak in her.

 

[shirleyb]

I know, I'd have voted her off. For all her being a Gold Medalist, she's been terrible in challenges.

I have to agree about Crystal - she just seems mean. And I went into the season hoping she would do well. DD does track so she is always in favor of anyone involved in the sport. Now I just want her gone!

Randy is so aggravating I would like to see him go too. The current favorites at our house are the science teacher (Bob?) from Maine - he's kind of hometown. But I don't think he'll make it too long, he isn't physically that strong. I think Sugar is smarter than she comes across - not sure why she has hooked up with Ace. He's another annoying one.

She may not be in good enough shape for the Olympics. But, she should be better conditioned than most of the rest of the Survivors. I keep thinking back to the first challenge they did. Running through the dessert, then up that hill. She was the last one up that hill. Even the old lady beat her(and they both had people pushing and pulling them up). Really pathetic. If she told the other Survivors that she is an Olympic gold medalist now, I don't think any of them would believe her.

Could this be part of her strategy? Could she purposefully be doing bad in challenges so she isn't seen as a threat? And then when they merge and go to individual immunity, she brings it on?

A lot of coaches/PE teachers are not in the shape that you would think that they would be in. I think that she may have held back in the run up the hill but honestly feel that she just hasn't had the strength in the last couple of challenges.

Coaches and PE teachers are not Olympian class athletes. My DH is a coach. And he was never in his life been in good enough shape to be an Olympic class athlete. She is either holding back for strategy. Or she just doesn't have stamina. And being a short distance runner, that is probably true. I don't think track athletes(unless they are marathon or cross country class) have a lot of stamina.
