Here is my recap of tonight's show.

Jill W, I'm going to be honest here.  The tribe reorganization pisses me off.  I'm a purist and I don't like the bastardization of Survivor which is what this reorganization represented.  Raise your hands if you think this was a blatant attempt to get Steph and Bobby Jon in better situation?

Trevor, I didn't like it (reorganization) either.  And, oops!  Sorry, I should not have posted before you.  When I looked back at some of the older posts, I saw that your recap came first.  I tried to delete my post but I wasn't allowed to.  Feel free to delete it if you wish.

We like when people discuss! Please feel free to do that more, Jill!

I didn't mind the shakeup too much. I was a little bored with the show! But it was defiantly to help the Golden Child Steph more! No doubt in my mind. But, what can we do! LOL

Join the club.  This is really a weird season.  I like the show tho & glad they shuffled peeps around the way they did.  I think this is the first season that i like nearly all the  players!

Don't worry about it all Jill!  We love it when people talk about the show that just aired!

The Tribe reorganization was such a blatant move to give Steph and Bobby Jon a better chance at lasting longer.  Tribal shuffling shouldn't be done this early in the game.  I was annoyed about that.

As the most diehard Steph fan here I have no complaints about the tribe shuffle.  Although I am really beggining to ger frustrated seeing steph at tribal council time after time.  If i was a christian i'd b praying for her tribe to win a damn imunity challenge.  By the way I would like to point out to everyone else that putting steph in a good position isn't the only thing tha could be influenced by the tirbe shuffle.  After episode 3 where no one made a mention of Gary being a quaterback the shuffle conveniently brings Danni onto Yaxha to shake things up.   _-^

I didn't mind the shuffle.  Heck, we've seen it since S3 in Africa (it will never get better than that, though).  I don't necessarily think it was designed to favor one tribe over the other.  It might easily have turned out similar to  All-Stars, where only one (Amber) ended on a different tribe. 

I do blame the editing this season for our inability to predict a boot.  We've had no real story arcs other than Steph, Gary, Lydia, and to a lesser degree, Bobby Jon, Blake, Margaret.    So out of 18 originals, we don't know that much about 2/3 of them.  We knew more about Jim in the first hour than we did about Morgan, Brianna, and Brooke after four.  Before, the shuffle, where were Brandon and Blake's loyalties?  Was Cindy in a tight alliance with any of the men on old Nakum? 

I think Judd did the right thing by aligning himself with the former Yaxhas now on Nakum.  I think he'll end up going further in the game.

Anyone suprised?.....no. Anyone care?.......definately no.

Does anyone really even care about the tribes. You don't even realize that there are playes outside of Steph or Gary. Everyone else gets some screen time and you are like who is that? Rob is right in saying that casting for reality shows has really gone to ****. They have eliminated 4 people already and not 1 of them made an impact on anything.

Hopefully this shuffle will put the spotlight on different people so that we can get some drama. Maybe a little cat fight or two since most of the women ended up on the same tribe. Or maybe the men will get into a pissing contest........
