Trust my rage

I actually thought the villains problem was that it was an individual task. They can band together but the heroes are stronger as individuals.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

You know, they keep saying that but then I start running the numbers -

Boston Rob, Coach, L'il Russell, memfault with the longish hair - all pretty big guys who like to think of themselves as very physical. Not that hugely far off from James, Colby, Tom, Rupert. Sandra = Cirie. Amanda = Parvati. Courtney/Candace, though I can't remember who's on which team. Jerri = Stephenie, when she was around.

They're pretty evenly matched. I know I'm forgetting one or two, but really.

I do agree that the Heroes not being able to let their group dynamic fuck it all up was probably decisive. But still a pretty shockingly shoddy performance from the Villians.

Trust my rage

I guess what I meant, but didn't type, was that mentally, the Villains are weaker as individuals. I think the teams are matched physically but the Villains gain something when they act as a team.

It's weird how much I love Boston Rob. I did not like him at all in the first Survivor. But he's really grown on me.

I think I was reacting partly to maybe TWOP or somewhere where they were repeating the villians about how the Heroes won this because they're so physically dominant without really questioning it.

I totally love him. He's one of the few (only?) reality stars who I like more the more I see him.

Was PR a repeat this week? It didn't show up on the DVR.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The guide said it was a repeat of last week's. ANd the "latest episode" abvailable on mylifetime.com is also last week's.

Finally caught up on Survivor. I'm happy with the boots so far, but Russell, Parvati, James, and Rupert can't go soon enough for me.

TAR watchers, is this season similar to, or better or worse than previous ones?

Pretty good so far.
