Would guns be allowed as a luxury item.

Dick Cheney could take over for Probst

I can't believe no one has asked this yet, but did cute little Kat completely destroy the myth that girls don't fart by cutting the cheese on this weeks episode?

Why do the Scientists automatically have to be agnostic?

Lots of Scientists are religious. Some of the greatest minds the world of Science has ever seen were very religious. (James Clerk Maxwell is one that comes to mind just off the top of my head).

Your team is a disaster, Kat is a disaster, you haven't won anything, and you could vote out Kat, make the team stronger and the alliance would still be up 4-3.

Nope.........keep the weak link and vote out the stronger player at the beginning of the game and keep getting your arses kicked.. So stupid.
Agreed. A strong five doesn't mean anything if those 5 don't make it to the merge. To have your 5 in the merge your tribe needs to win challenges.

Last few seasons a solid alliance went far, without Russell there to throw a wrench in things. But, what happens when that 5 gets to the end? They turn on each other. It is inevitable, so you build trust for 30 some days to shatter it and draw bitter, bitter lines in the sand come the jury vote.

I don't know, maybe I would go home quick with this attutide but I would be all about the tribe, like how Tom ran it or the asian doctor that won, his name eludes me. A strong tribe wins challenges, winning challenges means less people have to go home.

Fair enough, I just interpreted "science vs religion" as a believer/agnostic divide. I'm sure they're are plenty of level headed scientist who are able to reconcile their religious/spiritual beliefs with their profession.

But let's be honest, level headed people with good reasoning skills don't make for strong reality TV do they?

Very true. Sorry didn`t mean to jump down your throat, this is a debate I have had before with friends. I used to be on the extreme side of anti-religion, coming back to reality and a more level headed view has been a process.

Well Dangit! Last time I had first pick on one of these things I went with Ozzy in his first year where he made the finals. I guess you can't get them all right.

I was quite sure Bill was going home yesterday. Not sure how much longer Bro-Brah will be able to stick around. For the first two episodes I saw Matt as a straight-shooter, no-nonsense kind of guy. Yesterday he just became a dick.

How did I pick Colton of all people? I wish you could watch the first episode then pick. He's just such an unstable person. I predict a bad ending with him.

How/why did you pick him both rounds?

Here is how my logic went for that one. I picked 8th overall, so on the way down I thought he looked like a decent pick at 8th. On the way back up I picked 11th and he was left along with the leftovers. So I thought that I wasn't going to win by picking any of the others and if I let him slide to what would have been the top seven pickers of the first round and Colton won, I would lose because their second pick would be better than mine.

Does that make any sense?

He's this seasons Brandon Hantz for sure, unstable, stirring the pot through his own "chicken with the head cut off" tactics... and a cry baby to boot.

Wow, I've never thought this before. But people like Brandon and Russell and other so called villains were labeled villains because of the way they play the game.

Colton is a disgusting and repugnant human being, and a outright racist.

I would hope that Bill punches him in the face at the reunion show.
