12/7 Show Discussion Thread **Spoilers**

[Tilden]

Listening to Brandon's dad, and knowing what Russell's like, is it any wonder Brandon's kind of a loose cannon who's looking somewhere, anywhere to find a moral compass? It always baffles me when people say things like "God wants you to win this money" or "I want to play the game the way Jesus would." Really? Somehow, I don't think Jesus would sign up to play Survivor in the first place, since he wasn't interested in becoming a millionaire. As for Brandon's dad explaining how God would want him to make a big move to take care of his family...is it really necessary to be a millionaire to take care of your family?

I hope Edna wins immunity and screws up their plans.

[Fanny Mare]

Wow. Hantz Sr looks very young...he & Brandon look more like brothers.

They do look more like brothers!

Goofy Coach has this one, easily. Edna still pouting.

[AJane]

I hate these kind of challenges, so boring. I yearn for the days of football in the mud.

[AJane]

Like beating your wife? Um, no.

[waywyrd]

Please boot Edna tonight, people. Please. I can't take the whining anymore.

[Tilden]

I wonder if they've gone to less physical challenges either to give the smaller people a better chance or because they're worried about someone really getting hurt. Even though I'm far from a Rob fan, even I was concerned about him last season on that challenge where he was nearly passing out at the top of that long climb. I was afraid he was going to fall all the way down that huge staircase.

I don't think it was appropriate at all for Edna to say that Brandon insulting her and expecting an apology to make up for it was the equivalent of a wife beater buying his spouse a diamond necklace and saying that cleared everything. The degree to which she was injured by Brandon is nothing even close to being physically abused by one's spouse.

[waywyrd]

Edna's all about being a drama queen tonight.

Aaaand she's out. Buh-bye!

[Tilden]

I get the impression that Rick may well be the odd one out at this point, but really, when are they going to start considering that they need to get out a stronger player who may be able to win immunities and votes from the jury, especially with the potential of Ozzy getting back in and establishing himself as a threat to go for the immunity wins? Or does Coach really want to go to the end with people who can make a decent case for themselves at the final tribal council?

Oh, man...if Edna beats Ozzy at the RI competition...but I'm guessing that's just a red herring to get people to watch.
