    I am having trouble getting in to this season and I think it's because of the constant tribal shakeups.  It's harder to become familiar with the players when the tribes are always changing.

    I agree.  I normally have a favorite by now, with a couple of backups, but no one is holding my interest.  The editing seems focused on the assholes this season.  Yawn. 

  2. It seems like there has been a rash of questionable wagering lately.  A lot of people who were ahead before final jeopardy have been losing, even after writing the correct question.  Many of these have been in the reruns from last year, but there have been some from the current season as well.  Have the dynamics of wagering strategy changed? 

    It should be pretty straightforward, at least for the person in the lead - assume everyone will get the answer correct, and bet enough to cover the person in second place.  It seems that many are betting with the assumption that no one will get the correct question.  Are there stats somewhere that indicate that this is the more likely outcome?  Does Rainman post here?  I'm sure he would know. 

  3. Who the fuck doesn't have an idol or advantage at this point?  At least the douche went home instead of the eye candy. 

    And I agree that that women rarely look for idols, or if they do, it isn't shown.  I want to believe that there is a lot more idol searching than what makes it into an episode, but it's more likely a case where specific contestants are tipped off that an idol is out there...and by "tipped" I mean "here's a map, a photo pf the location,  and a clue sniffing squirrel."

    Is this last pic the waterfall billboard on I-35 heading into downtown Dallas?  If so, it's currently one of the most depressing things I've seen since moving back to Dallas last summer.  The billboard is still there, but there's a very large condo behind it and it now just looks out of place.  Effing sprawl.

    Yep.

    They were talking yesterday about the three tribes being 3-2 Malala to whatever, and I still have no idea who was on what tribe.

    All three new tribes had 3 original Naviti and 2 original Malolo, but how the fuck your average viewer is supposed to remember who was what is beyond me.  When you change tribes every other day, it's hard to keep track.  I can barely name half the cast at this point.  There's no way I could begin to tell you who was on what tribe originally. 

    I'm actually surprised at the amount of tribal loyalty that we have seen so far.  Game play has been generally weak compared to other recent seasons. 

    I'm actually glad that Ghost Island hasn't been much of a factor.  On the other hand, if you are going to bother having it, do more with it.  It's like a complete afterthought.  I would love to see a throwback season where the rules were identical to Season 1.

        

  6. I'm having trouble identifying anyone that I want to win.  I suspect most people are biding time until the merge before they start taking risks.  Dom is still annoying, but I think Chris is more so at this point.  I would love to see a Ghost Island twist that has a message in one of the little ceramic containers that says "NO MORE GAME FOR YOU.  GO HOME. THE ISLAND HAS SPOKEN."
