Ok, for those of you who haven't watched it yet, don''t read any further because this will blow it all for you.
I warned you!
GC was voted out because he put it out there that he wanted to go home. He was tired of the game and the lack of food and the struggle and wanted to be home so, his tribe obliged. But, not before they found Sugar's Immunity Idol. They nearly decided to send her home instead but, decided to grant GC his wish. I am glad to see GC gone because he really was just so worthless. He lacked energy and stamina and really was of no help to the tribe at all. But, that being said, I worry for Sugar. Not only does the entire tribe know that she has the idol, but she also has Ace working her like a fiddle trying to make it look like it is her idea if she gives him the idol. I can't stand that guy. Seriously, is that drool I see in the corner of his mouth when he and Sugar talk about the idol? Good grief. He basically said it..."I may call on you in the future to use the idol." Come on Sugar! Snap out of it. Then in the previews for next week's episode he is working her for it again. He might as well just call it his. And, how stupid was Sugar for leaving it in her bag and leaving her bag where everyone could look through it to find the idol? It is small enough that she could just keep it with her in a pocket or, maybe take it into the woods and bury it under something or hide it somewhere other than in a sock in her bag. Moron. I adore Sugar but, for that stupidity...ugh! I have lost a little bit of hope for her and, quite a bit of faith.
The elephant was such a sight but, Ace and Matty weren't brilliant getting that close to it. Although, to be honest, being as much of an animal lover as I am, I would likely have gotten into the canoe with them to check it out too. Despite the danger, to be able to row up to a wild animal that big and basically be able to look it in the eyes would be reckless but, exactly the kind of adrenaline pumping thing I am likely to not pass up.
So, what about all of you? Are you happy to see GC go? Were you aggravated by Sugar's stupidity of just leaving the idol where everyone can see it? Are you as frustrated by Ace as I am? What are your other thoughts on the other players?

First of all, I can never understand why someone would get the idol and tell anyone! Then for Sugar to leave it just in her bag for everyone to find~ that was a very dumb move. Then for Sugar to say that she gave up looking for it and enjoyed herself at the SugarShack was another dumb move!
She had better smarten up next tribal because she has a target on and they aren't going to let Ace know they are voting Sugar out! If she does end up giving it to Ace, that will be another dumb move!
As for GC, so long! I hope Kelly goes out right after him. Neither of them are any good to the tribe in challenges. Although, Sugar was pretty useless in the last challenge too.
I still love watching Marcus and I think Matty is my second favorite.
I would have stayed clear of the elephant if it were me!

Me either! Why would you tell anyone...ANYONE...you have the Idol? There isn't one person who wouldn't sell you down the river to save their own hide for that Idol. Not even a blood relative. Because, in the end everyone is there for the cash.
And, telling everyone you gave up...right. It's a game where that Idol could save you. Who is going to give up looking for it?
Kelly does need to follow GC. That would be their next best move. She is the weakest and with her gone, it is one less 100 and some pound of flesh to carry on their shoulders.

Oh star,
Did we call it? You betcha!! Here is my question. Is it even possible that Sugar has at least a little brain under that blonde hair? If she is as dumb as she is playing then that girl does the blondes an injustice. I'm going to go out on a limb and give her the benefit of the doubt. I'm going to say that she may be smarter then she wants anyone to know. She did find the idol. She knew that she left the bag for everyone to find. And readily told Ace about it and even offered it to him. Any chance she might be setting him up? I realize that may be very far fetched, but a possible little twist to the scenario? I certainly like my take a lot better then what seems so obvious. Only time will tell.LOL
As for GC, what a loser!! I'm sorry, but how did he or anyone else miss that yellow streak and lazy bone? Good riddance.
As for the Elephant. I'm sure it was too much for them not to want a better look but the thing was huge and could be seen well enough for everyone so as not to invade the Elephants natural habit and endanger everyone elses lives. I could swear that it was pure anger I saw in his eyes. Well, maybe I'm showing my yellow streak. At any rate things are picking up and I'm looking forward to next Thursday. Thanks kiddo!!

Hey Leenie! Yea! We called it about Sugar. I just hope you are right and that she is way smarter than anyone, including us, is giving her credit for. And, being a natural blond myself, I don't appreciate her doing my color such an injustice. (Yes..I chose to color my hair brown...I like it better that color).
Anyway, I doubt that she is setting Ace up but, I hope that she is. That would be magnificent. Who better than him? LOL! It would be well deserved for as much as he is trying to work her for HER Idol.
I don't know how GC stayed as long as he did. He was the most useless player ever...at least from the seasons that I have watched.
And, I think you are right about the elephant. In the end, I probably would have seen it your way. That is its natural habitat. Untouched land. By going that close they were threatening it in its home and themselves as well as the rest of their tribe.
I'm looking forward to next Thursday. I hope that at the end of it, Sugar is still around but, she really has put herself in danger. Hopefully she has a plan.

Hey Plunk,
I agree with you about Sugar. I am going to hold out my far fetched theory that she may be a little smarter than we give her credit for. I have been wrong before. I understand that there is only one idol this year. At least for now. We'll see.

I was too glad to see GC go. He was just bringing the tribe down. I don't like to call anyone stupid, but Sugar is stupid. Something important like that needs to be tucked away somewhere in your clothes or undies. That idol could have been her key to winning the game. So I guess Sugar will go home next. I'm not a big fan of Ace, he does gets on my nerves.

Same here! I was thrilled to see GC go. And, it was a really stupid move for Sugar to keep the idol where it could be found. Nevermind the fact that she sold herself out to Ace about having it. That was her first misstep. I really liked her but then she told Ace and that was the beginning of her downward spiral. I still like her but, I feel like she is just thisclose to being a lost cause since they all know about her idol now. How is it ever going to help her now. And, she doesn't know that they know about it so, while she is feeling safe, she won't use the idol and it will be too late when they all vote her out soon.

Yeah, I agree with you. G.C. was bringing the tribe down, AND the viewing audience down! *LOL* I know it seems like Sugar is stupid, but, Fang has had 2 chances now to flush out the Idol, and they haven't. And, Sugar is still in the game, and she still has the Idol. :) Because Fang overall is dumb! *LOL* I'd like her to stick around a while longer! :) Ace can go at ANY time! ;)

Wow! Did Fang really make a smart move this week? I'm shocked! LOL
I've been waiting for GC to get the boot and I'm glad that he's finlly gone. From the way he talked about his life, I figured he would be able to handle anything. I guess not. Survivor can do crazy things to people.
While watching the episode, I knew Fang was going to lose again because I remember the preview the week before of Crystal going through Sugar's bag. I hope there is some way she can hang on and people see that there are others who need to go before her. Like Kelly, Crystal, Ken, and Randy. Oh, and Ace. If she uses the idol, it better be for herself and not Ace. Hopefully she realizes she's the biggest target right now and keeps it for herself.
Is it just me or did it seem like Ace's accent disappeared at one point? It was while he was talking to the camera. I thought it sounded a little odd.

I didn't notice that about Ace's accent. I'll have to pay more attention this week and see if it happens again.
My hope is that last week's tribal council impressed upon Sugar the fact that it is very likely that her tribe knows that she has the idol. At the very least, she should start realizing that they think she has it based on the fact that she has spent a lot of time on Exile Island. Because, unless she figures it out, if she continues to feel safe, she won't use that idol when she needs to and she will be gone very soon.
And, it is sort of shocking that Fang actually used their brains and made a smart move for once by getting rid of GC. LOL!

What a show!
Yea Sugar thinks she's not stupid but i think she's losing it now.maybe being away from people so much is changing her to not think?? that littl Idol would be under my armpit at all times..who would see it unless they hugged me and felt it? but for games I'd sneaky put it back in my bag where i'd know no one would know to look.. and Ace he is getting to be more of an azz to use her so much..too bad she can't say well i'll pass it to you if they call your name to get voted out and then don't..lol.
Then the old Sugar would be back!
GC was too much of a whiner and good to see him go..
Still love Matty..lol..

LOL! Same here! Under my armpit. in my undies. Somewhere that no one would see it. And, if someone saw something lumpy in my undies, who is going to ask...what is that lumpy thing in your undies Cortjo? LOL! In fact, if someone did ask me what the lumpy thing was in my undies, I would make up a story so embarrassing for me that it would embarrass them to hear it! LOL!
As for GC...yay! Good riddance! LOL!
Matty...talk about a thousand watt smile! LOL! Yea! He's nice to watch! LOL!
