Judd and BJ were peeved because Margaret was telling them what to do
with the shelter. They are continuing the spirit of Ulong independence
and non-tribal thinking which led to that tribe's downfall last season
(they never had a firm leader and voted out Jolanda for being
"abrasive", which is code for taking charge).

We know that BJ thinks this way, and that point was driven home in the
most recent episode. Judd is proving to be independent-minded, and
Brandon is displaying an independent spirit. Naxum's winning streak
will probably fall apart soon, because this game does require some
degree of cooperativeness and loyalty.

If anyone else feels this way, Margaret better tone down her
"leadership."

Remember, too, that Judd and Brandon were the only guys who didn't
succumb to dehydration, and both were already pretty annoyed with the
other guys (especially Brandon) and with Margaret for coddling them.
Margaret's actions made her useful, but did not necessarily make her
the leader, and she needs to realize that fact. Barking helpful orders
is one thing - but barking orders just to be barking orders does no one
any good.

At first, I thought that Judd and Brandon were well-placed to win the
game. However, Judd is proving to be too judgemental and easily
annoyed, so I figure he'll be gone soon. Brandon could still take the
game, but he's taking too many risks and being too independent, and the
tribe could take that as a bad sign. His critical comments could also
come back to haunt him later.
