The tribes have fire. (Except stupid Mogo Mogo. If you could build a fire why wouldn't you?) Am I seriously supposed to believe that before Rupert caught that fish, none of the tribes had anything substantial to eat? Besides the people that had drunk the parasite infested water nobody had had anything to drink? That's a little far-fetched.

The Challenges were a lot better this week than last week. Didn't they already do the first week's immunity challenge before? Anyway, In the immunity challenge I thought it was funny that Chapera tipped their boat over and there was no water in it. If I was on Chapera I would have laughed at Mogo Mogo and Saboga frantically bailing out their boats. Just a question, WHY WOULD YOU START PADDLING THE BOAT IF THERE WAS STILL WATER IN IT? I'm not too good with boats, paddling techniques or anything like that, but I know that if there is water in it that it won't float. At least that's a better idea than jumping in the boat while your teammates are still bailing it out. If that's not a sign that that person should be voted out I don't know what is.

I was really upset that Rudy was voted out! All the spoilers I collected are useless, they all said that Tina and Ethan were the first to go. I liked Rudy. If I was on Survivor I would get rid of a whiners like Jenna L. and Ethan before I got rid of Rudy. Why didn't Rupert, Rudy and Ethan make an alliance and vote out Jenna or Jerri? If somebody had to go, It might as well have been them. Why is Rupert letting Jenna stay in control? Or is he just letting Jenna think she's in control? Was Rupert's vote for Ethan really about his strong alliance with Rudy, or was it telling Jenna that she doesn't control his vote?

My favorite tribe so far would have to be Chapera. Not only are they strong in challenges, but they seem to get along well as a group. Except when Alicia shoots her mouth off. That got her in trouble in Australia, so if she's careful she'll watch her mouth and her finger. Is it just me or is something going on between Rob M. and Amber? They didn't show a lot of Chapera this week because there was nothing really going on in terms of conflicts. I didn't notice it so much in Africa but I can barely understand what Big Tom is saying half the time! That is getting annoying.

Saboga is definitely dragging in the challenges. I have a feeling if there is a mental challenge, that Saboga will come out closer to the top.
