Okay, now that I can get to the computer... my thoughts...
Someone asked if anyone felt duped by the previews -- nope, it was pretty much as I expected.
After this episode I'm liking Ted more and Ghandia less. Yes, Ted was wrong to be as close to Ghandia as he was, but I can believe his story, and he did seem to be sincere in his apology. He also handled it in a much more mature fashion than Ghandia did. I think of Ted as the "gentle giant" who has a problem controling his unconscious urges. I really don't think he would have consciously done something like that.
As for Ghandia's "tantrum"... I'd much rather she get her frustrations out by attacking a fallen tree and throwing rocks in the water than by taking it out on other people or, just as badly, bottling it up and allowing her anger to fester and destroy the whole team. Now that may happen anyway, but if her method of relieving frustration works for her -- hey, sometimes a good scream helps. And she did at least move away from the others a bit before getting out her frustrations.
Now, the reward challenge... I just DIED laughing at the stupidity of the anxious young brats. And Jeff's frustration was pretty obvious when he had to call out what, half the team? LOL! Go ChewingGum! I loved how Ted tackled the challenge of knocking others out of the way in the combat zone. And who was it that was strangling Clay? That guy needs to be taken out of the game entirely for the way he was going after Clay. Granted the idea was to knock people off the bamboo with physical force, but since when did physical force in a game include putting your hands around someone's neck??? I hope Jeff seriously investigated that action and considered disqualifying the strangler (that was Robb, wasn't it?). I also loved Shii Ann's look when she was challenged by Ted. Poor girl, and the "I'm sorry, but I have to do this" kind of look Ted gave Shii Ann was very kind. And the reward was very cool! I'm sure they learned a LOT from that experience! I hope someone had a journal and was able to take notes...
Jed losing the net... Hah! Serves them right! And I love how the camera men knew right where it was and showed that it wasn't that far out. Did they just not think of taking the boat and rowing out to see if they could find the net farther out?
Is their boat even still functioning?
I really hope the camera men or someone retrieved the net after it got "out of bounds" so it didn't hurt anything.
The immunity challenge -- okay, am I the only one who has ever done the "Towers of Babel" (or whatever variation you want) game before? That's very obviously what this challenge was only instead of three poles to slide the rings over, it was three platforms. I loved Shii Ann's comment about how she and someone else who knew the puzzle could have stepped in and said something but chose not to because they wanted to get rid of someone.
As for the votes... I'm not counting Shii Ann out of the game yet. I hope she goes far, and have a feeling she'll make it to the merge. I sure hope I'm right!
My prediction for who's going to win... If my theory is right, it will be a male and probably not Ted. If the winner is female, it'll be Shii Ann. Ted will make it to the merge, Ghandia won't... I'm going to guess the merge will be Shii Ann, Ted, Helen, the "voice of reason" (whatsisname), Clay, Robb, the old guy on SookJai, Jan, and two others from Sook Jai, but I haven't gotten the feel for the other players yet -- I'm thinking whoever was holding the Immunity Idol -- was Penny her name? Stephanie will be one of the next to go.
Now... let's see how wrong I am!
I'm glad Ted decided to call everyone together and talk about it openly - that just diffused the whispering in the background that would have gone on and on otherwise.
