That was a really awesome part. The best part is that Penner and Malcolm were not playing it up for the cameras; you get the feeling that they really are like this. (Those kids, though, were totally mugging for the cameras. :p )

A big theme of this week's episode was maturity, and whether the contestants are mature enough to play a game where the way to play the game is to lie to other players, betray their trust and backstab allies, without taking it personally. Malcolm has demonstrated either a wisdom beyond his years, or that he has an…

That puzzled me too. Maybe he was referring to Abi revealing, unprompted, that she also had an idol?

She gives them a lot of good material to work with.

Lisa only shared the information when Penner won immunity. At that point she decided to play her Ace card, the knowledge that Malcolm had his idol. The fact that Pete is a moron does not detract from the brilliance of Lisa's plan. Had Pete kept his mouth shut, the Tandang alliance could have voted out Malcolm or…

Like most super-villains, it will be Abi's ego and arrogance that will be her downfall. It's not enough for her to have an advantage over other players; she needs to flaunt it in their faces so that they will acknowledge how awesome she is. I would love to see them record a session between Abi and the therapist at…

They expire at the end of December, unless the lame duck Congress extends them. (Which I highly doubt will happen. The backstabbing between bellicose far-right Republican members of the House, more moderate Republican Senators, the Democratic leaders in the Senate and President Obama make the Survivor tribe look like…
