I have to say that I was hoping that Fang would win the immunity
challenge just to see the havoc at Kota.  My guess is that they'd
have just gotten rid of Susie but it might have been a more
interesting episode since we haven't seen all that much strategizing
since they've been winning everything.

The tribe that loses the immunity challenge is the "interesting" tribe
that week because they have to eat one of their own. So it's no surprise
that we don't see much of the "uninteresting" tribe. This season has
been mostly about UFang because they've been the interesting tribe most
weeks. That *will* change. At the least we will see Kota after the merge.

Recall Season 10, we didn't see much of Koror until after the sole
remaining player from Ulong joined them. Yet Koror supplied some of the
most interesting interactions of the season, and the show in general.


Well, gee. I would not say that in the first half of the season. And
in the second half, since they were the only ones left, who else COULD
have provided interaction. In fact, until Stephanie was eliminated,
MOST of the interaction revolved around her. The reason she became
one of the most popular players ever was the simple fact that she got
THE most face time during the course of the season.

But that season was a fluke and they let it play out as it did. But
the better seasons have more back and forth on the tribes rather than
just let half of the players become interesting in the last half of
the game. This season has largely been less than stellar precisely
because we have seen so very little of Kota since the first episode.
