For a recap show, I enjoyed it. Compared to new shows. Eh.
I did love the pseudo immunity challenge, and Rob C was great as Jeff. They were fun.
As for who's left, I'm also a little surprised.
Rob -- I'm actually liking him this time and think he's playing the game very well. Would I want to know him? No. Would I want him to be a friend? Not really. Would I trust him? No. Do I enjoy watching him? Yes.

I think they're showing more charm from him this time than last time -- last time it was his "Godfather" scheming and arrogance they focused on. I'm sure it's all still there, but it's not as bad this time. Or, rather, not being focused on as much.
Tom -- I hated him in Africa, I hate him now. He's nothing more than an ignorant, prejudiced "redneck" who really gets on my nerves, especially with his opinion about women. I would *VERY* much prefer to see Rob win it over Tom.
Rupert -- I'm kinda blah on him this season. I loved him last season, but I agree, he seems to lack confidence and strength this time around. Probably didn't have enough time to really recover from Pearl Islands. But I wouldn't mind if he won.
Alicia -- I liked her in Australia, I like her this time around. I think she's a strong competetor with a lot of spunk and I wouldn't mind her winning, either.
Jenna -- No real opinion. Never saw Borneo and I haven't been to fond of her this season.
Amber -- Who's she again?

She just is not memorable.
Lex -- I like him. I think he and Rob are the two best plotters and schemers left in the game this season, and I really liked how he honorably told Ethan he was going last week. Even if I didn't like him getting rid of his friend, he did the right thing in letting his friend know, and I respect him for that. Wouldn't mind him winning.
Kathy -- I liked her in Marquesas (sp?), didn't like her too much at first this season, but she's picking up again. She really blossomed well on her brief trip with Chapera.
Shii-ann -- I thought she was kinda fun to watch previously (where was she again? Marquesas, wasn't it?), but she's really gotten on my nerves this time.
Jerri -- Um. Bye-bye. Didn't like her before, don't like her now.
