most of them this season are lawyers. I think there are 4 of 5. Also a couple of medical people, couple of entrepenuers, and then the general office and blue collar types. Several sales people and bartenders.

The guy who can't swim is an engineer (described by the show as a "rocket scientist"). He seemed pretty annoying as they were trying to build a shelter; all planning and no doing.

They were showing one of the girls as something odd... like "ice cream scooper" or something; not really a career, but a job you know?

Yasmin. /facepalm

Should have shared the hidden immunity idol clue with the entire Foa Foa tribe so that the entire tribe is looking for it and mistrusting each other as to who may have it.

sending that girl was either brilliant or stupid, but was she acting like that on purpose (smart) or is she really that nutty?

can you believe russel ? found an idol with no clues, Brilliant! and he totally reads everyone, he has them under his mind control, unanimous vote to kick the one person that wasn't playing his game, Brilliant!

I didn't really like episode #2 - Foa Foa is just a trainwreck and I actually have to agree with the nutbar Yasmin, no one wants to watch them 'steal from a baby'.

I've never been a fan of this show nor understood why people watch it. :roll:

I keep hoping something catastrophic will happen to make it exciting! (and leave NO survivors) :p

Oil Tycoon Russel is looking like a great addition for this season... too bad I dont think he'll last to the merge... Although... if he gets rid of Betsy the cop, he might have a good chance

I couldn't understand why the target chick didn't out the oil guy at Tribal; tell everyone that he had made a pact with her and ask everyone else if he had made a pact with them.

The guy won't last; he's too unstable and it'll be easy to get him riled up into doing/saying something stupid.

Yeah when that happened I was thinking "oh, he just got busted."

And then Marissa went home.

I do think Russel is funny though, just cause his goal is to jerk around his own team.

It's all fun and games until he starts destroying or stealing the property of others. Then someone needs to shut him down. He's like a child really ... his parents never taught him right and wrong.

I'm giving this season one more episode and then I'll decide if I'm going to stop watching. I can't help but feel this Russell guy is a plant by the producers of the show. Obviously he was picked because they knew he'd "stir the pot" but a lot of his act is so over the top it seems like he's been put up to it.

I'm somewhat surprised some of the others didn't vote for mr. yale, the race card being pulled there was pretty lame.

he was a dork, russell had to sacrifice him or lose credibility
of course, that tribe could just win a challenge sometimes and make the others vote someone off

Jaison played it perfectly tonight. If he doesn't quit and Foa Foa loses again next week, he could convince the girls (primarily Liz) to vote off Russel at the urging of Ashley. Plus he knows that Russel has the immunity idol so it would be a good move to blindside Russel before he can use it.

Why do people show other people that they have the immunity idol? Seems like a fast way to get blindsided.

With the loss of Ben, whether he's an ignorant southern hillbilly or not, I expect to see another loss or three for that tribe. "Shambo" complaining about the other tribe doing yoga and shit, yeah the could help out more, but your tribe is kicking ass.

Yeah, they all did since they live on the edge of the ocean. So the finale will actually be just a big charity call in show.
