Are all the guys on the Heroes tribe gay? How else do you explain them
voting out the hot babe that went topless during the first challenge?

Russell is really going to have to work it this season, the average SQ
(Survivor Quotient) this season is about triple what it was last
season.

(Crossing fingers) No exile island and no hidden immunity idols this
season?

The pre-merge challenges are going to be rough, the tribes will need
to
keep their tribes strong.

Boston Rob has gone from someone I dislike to someone I'm rooting for
when he made fire by rubbing two sticks together.


Producers pouring some gasoline in the process also helps. So does the
release of chickens in hero tribe.

This is fake TV.


I don't think it's fake TV. Enhanced yes.. I'm sure those chickens
were set free in the Hero camp area in the hope that someone would
find and catch them. That's not unusual as the producers have often
left food for the players that we don't hear about and even left
things like chopped wood in places where the contestants weren't
allowed to chop down trees. That's part of the production process.

While Rob might have gotten some help in starting that fire I don't
think so. What they showed is very much what I've seen other times
when people needed to start a fire with only sticks. They keep rubbing
the sticks until they can get enough heat going to start forming the
charcoal (so you know it's close) then hopefully get a few embers to
gather in the husk (I think that's what he used) and blow on it gently
to get the fire going. There's an episode of "Survivorman" where Les
Stroud does exactly that except he is doing it all by himself with
just a couple of sticks instead of using that big branch.
