Wow, I actually enjoyed the Brains tribe the most. Hopefully we don't see another Philippines situation with one tribe getting picked off. It's even worse to see how bad J'Tia is doing.

Why is it worse to see how bad J'Tia is doing? Did you put too much stock in preseason interviews? You can't rely on the preseason interviews. What someone says before the game starts and what someone does when they are in the elements and interacting with other people can be completely different.

J'Tia is ******. Very disappointed in Brains, I wanted to see them do well but it looks like they're going to be Matsing 2.0

Matsing had a couple nice players though...Malcolm & Denise...maybe some the brains will surprise us

Pretty much, I had high hopes based off of her interviews. She's thus far the only favorite of mine that's doing poorly so it isn't a total failure.

Tasha's confessionals show a lack of awareness. Garrett not wanting to have any side conversations isn't him not playing the game, it is him playing the game very well.

J'Tia signed her death warrant. She had a chance of Kass flipping.

I'm only through the first hour, but it all makes sense now. Well, at least the part about why the Miami Marlins franchise is in shambles.

Im in shocked right now.

I am baffled as well. Why would you align with someone who pours all the rice into the fire?

Didn't see that coming AT ALL. Will they have a shot at winning immunity?

They just got rid of their strongest guy and they left J'tia who is pretty close to being crazy.

That was definitely a surprise! If the rest of the season is like this, Cagayan has some serious potential.

It looks like the Brains tribe is going to be Matsing 2.0

That was the last thing i expected.

David made the wrong move by choosing Garrett.

Him choosing Garrett could have been a smart move, but he had the wrong rationale behind it. He should have said that Garrett is clearly not the weakest and he didn't want to make anyone mad.

Great premiere. Aweful brains.

Do you like anyone so far from the Brains tribe?

Wow what an episode. As I said before David made a wrong move choosing Garret. He made it too known that he considered him a threat, which gave Garret every reason to get him out first. I felt that David just wanted to have the satisfaction of being the one that orchestrated the elimination of a strong player. Overall the Brains are a disappointment and laughable. I'm liking the season so far though.

Well that was garbage, good episode but wtf. I was going to root for the smart people but those guys are a bunch of idiots. I'm only rooting for Spencer now. They seriously kept that ****** woman, who 1) is so unathletic that she cant swim, 2) is a nuclear engineer yet couldnt do the ******* puzzle, and 3) she's a spiteful psychotic ***** and dumps the rice. Even she knew she was a gonner and basically accepted it, I know I would feel aweful staying if I ****ed up that bad on the challenge. Those idiots wont win any challenges and will get picked off 1 by 1. David was a paranoid nut, and Garrete was smart to get rid of him, but they HAD to get rid of Jtia. Garrette actually seemed like a smart player, he was being strategic by not letting them talk, and that other black woman made it obvious that she didnt want to vote jtia, while the old lady said she would. Garrette should have stayed with the nut, and spencer should have followed and heard what they said and tell garrett who could then play the idol. But whatever hindsight is 20/20. Those dumb girls will have fun with no rice

I am pretty sure Jeff has said Cagayang differently both times he has said it now. I am no closer in my quest to pronounce it.

There's no "g" at the end of Cagayan. It's also easier to pronounce than it seems. cagayan. (cah-gah-yawn)

Well Bacchus messing me up with the spelling of the thread and Probst messed me up with his inconsistent pronunciation.

Garrett was a moron. You don't tell people not to talk in private. Boston Rob learned that in Heroes vs. Villans when he got voted out because people got annoyed at him for saying it. That all works in theory but people get interviewed and have to take a crap. On top of that how do you not have the idol when you go to Tribal Council when you know you will have at least two votes out of five?

Just heard Garrett on Rob Cesternino's show. Pretty much shows why Kass joined the girls. Garrett needs to learn that people on the brains tribe aren't retards. Did this moron really think Kass believed him that he was his #1 instead of Spencer? If you knew Kass was going to be the swing vote at the second Tribal Council why not day 1 or after David left start saying Tasha is talking crap about you/working around the camp. That eliminates Tasha who is a threat and makes Kass want to vote Tasha out. Still mind-boggling that he still supports his decision to leave the idol with only five tribe members left.

Yea but if they cant talk they cant strategies to get rid of him, and the fact that Tasha threw a fit about not being able to strategies outed herself as saying no Im against your plan. When she was probably going to either feed them bs or she wanted to get rid of Kass. And Im sure he thought the vote was obvious, I know I was shocked when they got rid of him. In the beginning of the game you have to keep the tribe strong.

Side note, does Spencer remind you guys of Wes Bergmann? (ppl that watch the challenge would know who that is) I think he looks a lot like him especially when he was younger, talks the same and his mannerisms are the same too

Spencer is Wes just not a natural leader like Wes. Jeff Probst called him the villain this season. Only thing is Wes won't have let that happen. Wes would have already known Garrett had the idol, known that he needed to make J'Tia and Tasha an enemy to Kass, and Wes would have already been the leader of the tribe. Spencer just doesn't have the self-confidence Wes has.

Lol I was just thinking more looks/the way he talks. If you squint and turn your head to the left, its 100% Wes. And give the guy a break, its only been 1 episode. The fact that hes labelled as some villain means he got out of this mess, cause there was nothing villian-ish in this episode. I dont like when people are labelled like that before the show even starts, it gives **** away, let us just watch and see it, no need to outright tell us that hes the villain of the show, lets get to know them first.

Lol at J'Tia, she's a perfect example of why you don't have preseason favorites. But with Garrett I think that he seemed the least intelligent of the rest of the people on brains so I would have picked him or Kass. Without Garrett the brains are screwed.

And does anyone anyone else hate Lindsay's hair?

Yes! I thought that the whole episode, especially during the second tribal where he let his feelings about Garrett's actions be known
