Flippers have a better win ratio than Goats, and Dan has been painting himself into a Goat corner for the duration. Worst of all, he thinks he's doing awesome.

You left out the "big one", Mike's confessional where he specifically mentions that the idol he found was the Blue Team Idol which was never found. The idol Joe had a clue for is still out there, possibly with a replacement for the one Jenn played.

Man, Dan gets along with the ocean about as well as he does with Sierra. Curious that with all the Jenn love, no one seems to have noticed that as Dan was coming out of the water, she was going in with her bikini bottoms in her hand and clearly (well it was blurred) "A la Shirin" down below.

I thought Vince was voted out for correctly observing that Will was a big bowl of useless.

I dunno, the idea of Yau-Man toolin' around in that sumbitch would make for a few smiles.

Jim Norton would disagree.

I'm thrilled that Jenn is still here, but I'm wondering if Carolyn missed a golden opportunity. She knew that the NCs were targeting Kelly, so when Jenn played the idol, Carolyn could have played hers for Kelly, knocked out Hali and become a goddess to the Blues. Unless she didn’t know about Will’s misdirect vote,…

Every member of Blue cheering on Carolyn with "Come on, Mama C!"…subtle.

“We didn’t go for America, we dropped the A and went for Merica like a bunch of redneck idiots who don’t even know their own country’s name. I’m horrified, I’m embarrassed and Mr. Texas himself, Mike, is proud of this name. I think even Sarah Palin, all kinds of crazy crap comes out of her mouth, that woman has never…

He did say "I tried that, already." when Shirin offered. Just another thing on Shirin's Survivor bucket list that will have to go unaccomplished.

You take the good, you take the bad.

Shouldn't that be "taking brontrol"?

"Hey, there's a reason why people jump sharks…'Cause it's friggin' awesome!! You prolly don't know that 'cause you don't know nuthin' 'bout bein' friggin' awesome, like me and my boy Joaq." —- Rodney

As much as I’d like to think that Carolyn is a solid NCer, I’ve always gotten a strong “Chaos Kass” vibe from her. I hope I’m wrong.

What’s with people in a vulnerable position telling people they are trying to win over what needs to happen, when if they simply asked “What do you want to do? I trust you, I’m good with whatever you want.” they'd still be around? It’s one of the simplest blunders to avoid and it’s cost two people the game this season…

"I wonder if this memory challenge was a last-minute substitution after the producers saw how the swap went."

Up until Jonathan flipped a second time she had a pretty solid game going. She used her social game to secure a spot in an alliance that was small enough to remain tight, but large enough to control votes (about as tried and true a way to advance that there is). She had trouble adjusting when the social game stopped…

It was Candice, and even she found the “hero’ moniker odd (she didn’t consider herself a “villain” either).

The guy has made me sick since the begining (still like him better than Sierra though).

She was always a decent player, but in Cook Islands she had a fairly cushy ride that didn't require much strategizing. Her downfall there was largely the fault of tribal blunders. She would have likely won "H v. V" as well as Micronesia (which was kind of a sketchy win imo) had Russell listened to her pleas and voted…
