The women. Survivor women just can't ever ever ever stick together.

Even the jury was disgusted.

Though for once, I was happy to see them fold.

Would be so nice to see a deserving winner on this show after so much time.

Assuming Burnett is tossing us his usual fake with the preview, Ian, Tom and Katie would all be crazy to break ranks, now, and I doubt Jen is going to win immunity. That puts one of those guys in the finals, and the vote should be close to unanimous--particularly if he's with that pathetic oaf Katie.

What kind of spell she's got over Ian, that's the real mystery. Has he really had that horrible luck with women? When he alludes to difficulties with her being "just like girl trouble back home," I just wince. Poor guy. Can't believe anyone with a body or personality could love him.

And when he said he'd never been able to afford a car before, I nearly cried. Would be wonderful to see him win. Especially since he played the game so incredibly well.

Except for that move pulling Tom in to join him on the reward. What! It drives me nuts the way these people never figure out who to bring, never realize they have to talk to their allies and agree not to bring each other, both to disavow the alliance and to position a spy in both camps.

How thrilling to finally see a pair of contenders figure this out, voice it completely, grasp the game at a level few of their peers or predecessors ever have, and then . . . not execute. Crazy.

And it nearly cost them everything. May still, if Katie really bolts against Tom. (Which would be idiotic for Ian, because they'll immediately turn on him. But the fact that Burnett suggested it in the preview is the best possible evidence it doesn't work out that way.)

And it was pleasing to see Caryn, one of the worst contestants ever to barely play the game ousted, unanimously. And then hear her give perhaps the most preposterous boot-out whines ever: "Everyone's been very deceptive . . ."

Good lord. What show did she think she was on?

Anyone can act a little insane moments after the heave ho, but months later, she was still bitching about it on The Early Show. First words out of her mouth, how angry she still is: people were scheming all over the place!

Piece of work.
