    Wow what an awesome episode tonight , This show may be dumb so some people , But to me its more like an escape from reality , to watch some one else have to do all the fighting to get on top well I relax . Tonights episode really brought out a lot of emotions , You can see how 6 people who are total strangers can bond so deeply that they can consider themselves family . It shows us what happens when people are forced to work together at their own will . This show has showed us that and thats what the meaning of what "Reality TV" really is .

    Personally I was disgusted that they fixated on this poor guy's injuries in order to get ratings. They even advertised it last week in order to push ratings. I was pathetic and really turned me off to the show.

    It also shows that no matter how "safe" you think the outback is and how much the show personnel try to make the surroundings safe(try as they may), they cannot absolve you from all of the risk. Even members from the first Survivor said there were times that they almost stepped on snakes or snakes came into their camp and they were a foot or two away from being bitten.

    So, it is still the real outback with precautionary measures being taken. Still, those measures can fail and obviously cannot ensure the safety of everyone all of the time. It's a man vs. nature scenario where man will not always win. In this case, it happened to be a fire mishap. That said...I would like to see a behind the scenes show on the precautionary measures they do take.

    I thought it was funny watching Ogakor read the news about Mike being taken off the show due to injury. They all tried so hard to look upset and saddened, when it was so obvious that they were all ectstatic that they wouldn't get voted off.

    Especially Jerri... man, is she the original b**** from hell or what?

    Dang! Jerri's ass was sooooo gone , I had 80 points on her . I guess that Survivor is just the ultimate Human experiment , with 1 million the prize .

    I still love the show. I was addicted after watching the first one last summer.

    I was really beginning to pull for Mike and now he's gone. For some reason, I've been having a hard time finding that one person to pull for.

    Alicia's ok. I was hoping she was gonna kick Kimmi's ass that day.

    Amber's cute but seems unstable. Always seems to cry after losing a challenge.

    Colby is cool. Gotta pull for the Texas boy. Plus, he's the only one who will stand up to Jerri. Probably because he knows whe wants him.

    Elisabeth is by far the babe of the bunch. What a pretty face.

    Jeff get's on my nerves. He was going to be the one that I pull for because I too am an Internet Project Manager. I've gotten more used to him but he still annoys me at times.

    Jerri. b****. b****. b****.

    Keith, I do not understand. How he can just let Jerri run all over him and insult him is beyond my comprehension. Then he goes and compains about it to other teammates.

    Nick has to be Cuttino Mobley's long lost brother or cousin or something. They look too much alike.

    Rodger is pretty cool. Nice. Laid back. Doesn't get caught up in the head games. I'd value his experience if i were on his team.

    Tina is just there. Does nothing for me. Haven't really formed an opion on here just yet.

    Who are your favs? Who are you pulling for.

    Now that Mike is out, I'd probably say Colby or Rodger or maybe Alicia.
