8:01: Recap of last week. Too bad Steph got voted off. She’s been the best one so far, mainly because she’s been given the most opportunities. We haven’t seen yet who the really devious ones are from the other tribe because they haven’t had much of a chance for backstabbing. Oh yeah, Steph was the only eye-candy left for the guys.

8:07 Tom and Caryn have the same hairdo and Ian looks like an extra from Schindler’s List.

08:09 Reward for the reward challenge is a night on a yacht. I have to think it’s about time for a family member to be included in a reward.

08:12: So many people don’t know how to play this reward game. They just want each person to get hit once. People should just keep going after the person in worst shape and eliminate them. Fewer people to get you back. It’s pretty darn simple.

08:14 Gregg is a wuss. Votes for Katie instead of Jen. That clinches that one of them will be eliminated soon, maybe today. They just showed themselves as a force. If Caryn wants to stick around another week, she needs to point that out strongly.

08:16: HUGE miscalculation on Gregg’s part, taking Jen. Give the other 4 a chance to plot to take you out. Are people this stupid? He just got a chance to take another and took Katie. Might help him but doesn’t lessen the mistake of his first choice. Now is Caryn’s chance to turn the other guys.

NOTE: Jen is still eye-candy but her control over Gregg is almost causing her to lose that status.

08:23: OK, I’m a genius. The family members show up

08:25: Again, I’m right. Caryn, Tom and Ian know that Gregg has to go. I think Ian and Tom’s alliance is as strong as Gregg and Jen

08:28: I think Jen was happier to see the dolphins than her sister.

08:38: No surprise Caryn is eliminated at the first part of the challenge. My money is Katie or Jen is next gone because this one requires brains. Yup, Katie is gone. Jen is next one gone during the eating challenge. Wrong. Gregg is out. OK, now Jen is gone in this next one. Yup, she’s out. Tom and Ian now in a shooting contest. Ian wins. He’s now won two in a row, calling a little attention to himself. But it’s still good to be the king.

08:42: OK, my prediction is Katie goes John Kerry and flip-flops again, voting for Gregg. Gregg will be out 4-2.

08:47: Gregg thinks nothing is up and thinks he’s going to pull one over on Tom and Ian.

08:50: Ian makes a good move telling Katie that Gregg is on the block. She doesn’t want to be on the outside looking in.

08:52: Is Coby gay?

08:54: Katie is the swing vote (duh).

08:56: Gregg is gone. I’m right. And it’s his own darn fault. The second he looked to Jen for directions during the reward challenge, he made himself a target. And Katie isn’t stupid. Her chance is to ride Ian to the end, figuratively. Good job by Caryn. She's earned another week.
