And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Other than that, good ep. I was happy with the way the vote went.

I agree with everything Jess said. I was actually tense during the reward challenge, when I often fast forward through them.

Also, good thing Jilli doesn't watch Survivor.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I was happy with how the vote went, but think it was wrong strategy -- plus I think a bunch of people became stupid from starvation.

For JT and Stephen. By voting out Sydney, you lose an ally in Joe and keep an ally in Taj. By voting out Taj, you keep *two* allies and the immunity idol. Moreover Taj is more of a final-three threat than Sydney or Joe. Finally, as was pointed out, her alliance with Timbira is kind of a mixed blessing. They probably couldn't know this, but Jalapao is better off being allied with Erinn than Brendan and Sierra. Of course, Erinn didn't seem to realize that the low man on the totem pole switches sides, but maybe they left that for a future episode.

I don't know, I think it is always dangerous to keep a guy's girlfriend around because it is such a strong two-person alliance. And I'm not sure they lost Joe since they talked about it beforehand and gave him reasons for it. It wasn't a blindside.

Plus, they absolutely have to convince 2 people from Timbira to flip and Taj is their best chance for that. And because the 4-person alliance is secret (for now), Stephen leaves his options more open by keeping Taj around. For JT, it's more of a crapshoot, but I think the whole way they handled him finding the "hidden" idol thing was smart and the main reason he chose the way he did.

I do agree about Taj being a bigger threat down the line.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes.

Oh, this is fun -- my haircutter is in the final rounds of auditions for Shear Genius! She said she's going to hear in the next few weeks. Fingers crossed!
