Survivor update #3

Not much to say about last night's show. It was your basic paint-by-numbers pre-merge episode with zero suspense at tribal council. However, I did enjoy the immunity challenge immensely because it was so brutally primal. I'm sure it was just a coincidence that the first group of contestants in the sand wrestling contest were the women, three of whom were wearing skimpy bikinis. Yep, pure coincidence. When I saw the first group line up I thought, "um, Cirie's got this one." Anyway, I thought Misty's strategy for success involved playing dumb, keeping the fact that she's a freakin' Rocket Scientist under wraps, and pretending that she found the immunity idol. That didn't seem to last long. And the fact that she looked like she was stricken with some bizarre medieval pestilence probably undermined her ability to play cute with the younger boys. So, adios Misty.

If I were the blonde (Sally?), at this point I'd ally with Ruth Marie and try to convince the older guys to change their alliance and pick off the young guys before the merge. It's the old, "who do you want to go up against in individual challenges--a strong man or little ol' me?" tactic that works because it's true. But these people never listen to me. . .

That was the roughest challenge I've seen in Survivor in all the years...I think they could have used a few more rules other than no choking. (I was a little worried for the men as I don't suspect they were well protected, as they would say, where it counts) But better than Survivor, The Amazing Race is back tomorrow!!

Keep those Henry updates coming...they provide entertainment and lessons for those who aren't ready to have children yet:). Sorry that Bob the Builder is all the rage!
