Ok so who saw the disrobing for chocolate and peanut butter last night? And did you think Rodger was the one who needed to go? I was hoping smug Deena might have gotten her dues last night!

I haven't been watching this season very much. I think it's based on sex and who's better looking that who. I was shocked to see that they would actually air the girls stripping for chocolate & PB...and for them to make the comment about a "threesome". I just didn't think it was appropriate especially since kids probably are watching this with their parents. JMO...but this one just isn't a good as the others.

I agree with you, Michelle. The show is about skills, social and survivor skills, not Bikinis and naked women! The same kind of thing happened on the last Big Brother, but not to the same extent. I don't think it's necessary. Maybe they're trying to attract more male viewers. The only person I care about is Christy.

It's just a rating gimmick Shell. A let's see if we can get the younger crowd to watch this with their friends kind of thing, and it isn't even sweeps week!

I know...I understand that it is all about the ratings, but after a while it becomes rather dull and boring. I'm just shocked that more people aren't complaining about how shady this is becoming. Whats next? Is it going to be a requirement for them to be butt naked the entire season? I can see it now...You need to hunt for all your food, search for your own water, build your own shelter and make your own clothing out of sticks & leaves! LOL!

The 3 people I like the best will all be out soon I think unless they win individual immunity. I really like Christy, Dave the rocket scientist and Butch the principal. The stripper have got to go.

OK I have to confess to being very curious about tonight's episode. Anyone seen the trailer to it where they show Matthew sharpening a knife and members talking about someone trying to kill them?
Are their ratings now that low that they are trying to come up with new shock factors?

I thought the stripping episode last week was tasteless. I mean, c'mon. They've been out there for what, 2 weeks, and they are that desperate for a bite of peanut butter? They make it seem like its been years since they haven't eaten, when in all reality they just had a 'feast' when they merged tribes!

Its all about the ratings!
How many young men can they lure in to see naked girls, talk of threesomes, and bikinis galore!!

Bye bye to Dave- the last bit of eye candy


I think the producers have definitely sunk to new lows this time around to get ratings. I'm very disappointed
It makes me less than gung ho to watch the next season. Last season we had a group of personality-less idiots (just my opinion there
) and now we have a bunch of moral-less ones . *sigh*

So much for one of my favorite shows.....

I thought they were collectively going to get rid of Matthew because of his Lord of the Flies personna? LOL Then they get rid of Dave because of ice cream, showers and fish?

You are SO not kidding! I thought Mr. Knife-happy was going to get the axe, too. What happened? Isn't that what they talked about?

i have a hiding place
their plan was to get rid of Dave next, then Butch, then Matthew, etc. so i guess they stuck to their original plan.

they got rid of Dave because of his strength -- he was a threat.

Dave - don't go! I thought he was great! Matthew seriously needs some psychotherapy!

Yeah, Dave was all right, wasn't he? Now that I'm getting to know the people better, Butch seems nice too. It's hard to root for any of the girls other than Christy, because they were so inconsiderate of her. What was wrong with Deana? She is mature enough to know better. She's smart and capable also, but her alliance is with Rob.

Am I mistaken or was the wise guy in the last Survivor or Big Brother named Rob? It's my favorite man's name, and it's a family name; that's why I'm asking. Even though it's the way the game is played, I hate to see the power hungry people assuming that everyone else is dumb because they take them at their word. I'd lose, for sure!

In Thailand, Rob was given the boot. He was the bartender with the long dark hair...I think he had a piercing in his bottom lip..but I cannot remember. He was a SMART-ASS..just a COMPLETE ass.

I didn't really like this Rob, either.....he was all about talking sex and girls, etc....BIG turn off. He seemed to have toned it down a tad.

I like Deanna a LOT. She is smart...doesn't fall into any traps...and it just herself. Christy is awesome, too. I think Heidi and Jenna are playing into that sex thing and I hate that crap, too.

I really can't stand Rob and will be very disappointed if he wins. He is very chauvinistic and just thinks about sex and winning, not necessarily in that order.

I miss Wisconsin
I too am disapointed with all the naked/bikini scenes. What i used to like is when they had regular type people on. Thats what was fun about it. Now it seems a great majority of the players are picked for their looks.

I miss the good ol' days- like Survivor Australia and Africa when they actually had to survive and the people were 'real'.
