First off, let me just say that this will be short. No reason. Just not a lot to say this week. It happens. You’ll see. One day it will happen to you too. No cause for alarm. It’s not any physical abnormality. It just happens sometimes. Deal with it. I am.
Okay, can we start with what is becoming my favorite story line…Sugargoing to Exile Island. The best part is that while they think they arepunishing her, little do they know she is living it up, eating betterthan anyone, and she misses out on all the camp chores. Camp life canreally suck. Not for Sugar. Didn’t I tell you you’d be rooting for her.Admit it. You are. You can’t help it. Yes, she cries a lot, but she’sgrowing on you. Admit it. She is.
Then there’s Ace…was he a challenge hog trying to raise that flag all by himself? You know, like Kobe Bryant of the Lakers who never passes to anybody. Or was he just doing what any savvy person would do when confronted with the fact that his tribe still sucks and if he waited on them to contribute he’d still be there.
Personally, I say taking matters into his own hands was the right move in that challenge. Dude’s playing for a million dollars.
Trusting Ace however is a whole ‘nother ball game. Sugar seems to trust him but I’m guessing you don’t. Admit it. You don’t. I wouldn’t either. It’s that damn accent. Here’s something you can trust, I’m gonna find out at the Reunion Show if the accent is real or not.
Gotta talk about the turtle. Here’s the deal…my friend Sean is a hunter. My cousin Darren is a hunter. Sarah Palin is a hunter. A lot of my friends are hunters. I’m not. Neither is Sheetal, for the record. In fact, she really doesn’t like hunters much at all. So, she pretty much hates the entire Kota tribe for killing the turtle. She thinks they had plenty of rice so why kill a "perfectly harmless minding-his-own-business" turtle. I tell her I don’t know, ask Gov. Palin.
By the way, VOTE Nov. 4th.
Now let’s deal with Kelly. I miss her already. I won’t say it, but admit it, you do too. She’s cute. Sure she’s young and has a lot to learn and a lot of life to live. But so do you, so get off your damn soapbox and cut her a break. She did her best. She should be proud.
That’s it. Remember, these are free.
Now check out our exclusive deleted scene from ‘Survivor’ and then read Dalton’s recap.

Jeff, I love ya man, but not your best recap. Also, I wanted to express my disgust for this season’s contestants. I tried out for Survivor Gabon and would have been a far more compelling contestant than most on the show…and I was fuming when I saw G.C. quit (I would give anything to be on the show). I’m sure you probably have little to do with selecting the contestants, but you need to make sure that from now on the selections are for compelling characters and less based on physical attributes. I agree with Dalton that this is shaping up to be a pretty lame season.
I hated that they killed the turtle. They had loads of food.
Killing and eating the turtle was smart. Lots of protein in the meat and you need protein to compete at your highest level. Yes, its not the best Survivor, but its still interesting. The correct people have been voted out so far.
Who is Sheetal?
Who is Sheetal?
These people are lame. I hope that it gets better after the merge. Is anyone completely annoyed with Crystal? I wanted her to come on and represent for the ladies out there who are always at the bottom when it comes to a tribal game. And Suzie lasted longer than her in that stupid snake challenge.
I love survivor. But this season is lame. It was lame the last time they shot in Africa–I think it needs to stay in tropical. Setting is huge.
Thanks again Jeff, tho I personally disagree about Kelly; she was a useless whiner (unlike Jacqui, the hard-working and hotter one who was prematurely doomed by the Switch). Oh, well… that’s Survivor for ya!

Dang this crazy interface! Sorry if I double-posted; thought it didn’t take the first one. TGIFF!
I just really don’t like most of the people on this season. Well, I actually do like a lot, but I don’t like any of them enough to want them to win. I like Corinne, Charlie, and Marcus, but they haven’t really down anything strategic besides making an alliance they haven’t had to use. I like Bob, but he hasn’t done a whole lot either. Ditto Susie and Dan (who is starting to annoy me). I’m on the fence about Ace and Ken, though I’m leaning toward not liking them since Ace is arrogant and Ken is lazy around camp. Matty finally started strategizing, but I think he’s too naive for this game. I don’t like Crystal or Randy. So, that leaves Sugar. Despite the fact that she’s sort of clueless when it comes to the idol, I like her. She hasn’t done much strategizing either, but I have hopes for her. I think she’s got potential. Add the fact that she seems like a genuinely caring person, making her my favorite. Hopefully, she wises up and stops relying on Ace before he betrays her.
Much of Africa is TROPICAL.
I love this season. very fun stuff. I love when they go to africa or australia. I am sick to death of seeing stupid beach side camps.
i’m totally rooting for sugar!
Much of AFRICA is tropical.
I love when survivor is in africa or in australia or china. I am sick to death of the same old beachside camps. next survivor should b in scottish highlands.
on my opinion; worst season so far.
Anyone else see Sugar say “let’s take out Ace” in next weeks promos??!! Makes me like her even more… could it all be an act with Ace??
in my opinion, one of the worse season of Survivor ever.
Hey Jeff. Love the blog this year! How about this for a future season: Just one tribe, all individual immunity challenges for the entire season. No strong/weak, have/have-not tribes. The seasons always get more interesting after the merge.
I won’t miss Kelly. She was useless and did nothing but complain about everyone else. Calling Crystal “unstable” right before the vote took balls though. My favorites are Matty, Marcus & Bob. Well, I think I’ll like Marcus & Bob if we ever get to see them. With Fang losing everything, all the episodes have revolved around them. Kota needs to lose just so they get some screen time! Also, count me as a fan of Ace. I don’t trust him at all, and I think his accent makes me really not trust him, but he’s playing hard. I can’t blame him for trying to make the flag pole himself, would you trust that tribe to do anything? This season is not bad, but it could be better.
Here are a few of my thoughts:
Good show last night. Here are some of my thoughts:
-That wild-eyed guy Randy reminds me of Gary Busey. What a wacko, but he is fun to watch.
-When Crystal’s designation says Olympic Champion, I wonder if they mean the actual Olympics or something a little more “special”? (and I’m not badmouthing those games because I think some of those folks would leave her in the dust, too).
-I think if he survives to the merge, Matty could be the next Ozzy. He is a fierce competitor, perhaps the best player in the game right now.
-Sorry, Mr. Turtle. You swam into the wrong camp! If you’d have gone to Fong, you’d have been home free!
I add my voice to the chorus: who is Sheetal?
Disagree about Kelly, I thought she sucked and she has a bad attitude as well. Great body, but her face is not so hot, the other blond they voted out was way better looking with a much better attitude. I was sad when they gave the turtle the ax
I would have made it my pet, then again I don’t eat red meat or pork. Did they all ready pick the cast for the next Survivor? I was thinking about sending in a tape. I like Ace so I hope he sticks around, loved his comment to Kelly at tribal 
I am still hoping Sugar makes it far
Poor Dan is down to his last pastry and a half. I guess he doesn’t realize there are people in Africa who only have rice to eat everyday. They are called the FONG Tribe.
I like Randy–sure he’s kind of psycho, but at least he’s entertaining. And at least he’s pulling his weight in challenges. I say watch out for him. They might just underestimate him enough that he’ll make it to the finals.
I’m a pacifist too but I’d kill that turtle for the chance at $1mil. Probst, just want you to know we don’t pay any attention at tribal council. We’re too distracted by how nice you look in your blue shirts. Yes, we’re just that shallow!
Randy is the Gary Busey of reality tv and I love him.
I love Randy. He’s such a jerk and I hope he stays long into the game. he’s so entertaining.
I am fascinated by Sugar. She is certainly not dumb. I think she could really come in under the radar and win this game. All the other survivors have under-rated her. If she goes to Exile next week, I hope she chooses “Clue” over “Comfort”, just in case there is a second immunity idol hidden.
are you serious jeff? sugar sucks at this game. she hasnt done anything to make her interesting. she cries at anything. stop crying! you hated kelly from teh get go so i dont even know how she made it past casting. did she let you feel her breasts? was that it jeff? you like touching young women during casting? or is the big strong alpha male types that you love and obsess over. this season so far isnt that great. its just like palau..whch wasnt my favorite cuz tom won by default of having dumb players on the season. youre not that great of a host or that unbiased…you dont really deserve that emmy jeff. you suck just as much as some of these people on the season.
I’m sorry, but Sugar IS dumb. She just GAVE the immunity idol to Ace? For what reason?? I saw no valid reason for her to give it to him. Then, she says to Kenny, all dopey, “so should I NOT have given the idol to Ace?” Blink, blink. I don’t think she’s playing dumb….I think she IS dumb.
Think for a minute. What if Sugar is playing Ace? He thinks he has her in his pocket. Notice how easy it was for her to give him the idol–and how easy it was for her to take it back! This is a woman who plays a dumb-blond model stereotype, but I think she is playing. She could play it to the end. Maybe she has me fooled, but maybe she has everyone on the tribe who thinks she’s dumb fooled. What do you think? I think there’s much, much more to Sugar than meets the eye!
