Well, they got me this week, I honestly thought Hali was good to ride that sweet wave another episode or two. And she was virtually purple in her own boot episode. Mike takes over the top of the totem pole this week as Jenn's game takes a dramatic drop.

Got to hand it to Mike, though, some interesting moves this week. Convincing everyone that Joe had the HII left him free to go on his own hunt. Risky, though, as it was his own alliance folks who relaxed, Joe knew he didn't have the thing.

Tyler hits double digits, can he get enough traction to get himself into this game? Will zeroed. Tyler and Joe and Shirin are rising, will one of them manage to underdog this thing to the end? Carolyn is still unstable.

Rodney stabilizes, and once again he opened his mouth and his brain spilled out. Dan is making waves, Shanini ought to slap his mouth. (Actually, I hate to point it out, but that was a major missed opportunity on her part.)
