I can totally see the tribe bonding aspect of the video, son. I'm not disputing their unified attitude at all. It just seemed really douchey and lame. Robbie, while I liked him initially in his videos, I can see him getting cocky and just being plain annoying. I also didn't like when Tyler did say something, Eric had to chime in with "Tyler finally says something"... Right there kind of says it all. No matter how much Tyler tries to mesh with them, there's still that "you are the one on the outs". I don't find them amusing and I kind of lost a little respect for Cody during this. I didn't think he was so catty but it came out during that vid.

Kirin, I agree with you that it would suck to see them lose again. But only for the fact that Tyler would go and he should stay over a douchebag like Eric.

Agreed with all the things Juice just said. I don't doubt it was for tribe bonding, either. But that doesn't make them not douche-y. Like I'm sure KKK members enjoy assaulting minorities as a way of bonding, but that doesn't mean it's good or entertaining. </extreme example>

Opinions on some players thus far... ~GOOD~Debbie: I'm really starting to like this lady. She's smart and I'm super impressed with her dedication and ability to perform in the challenges thus far. She's going to be a real threat the longer she stays in the game. I also kinda had to smirk when she was wondering why people were wanting to get to know her so badly. She kept saying, "I dont know." But you could tell her wheels are turning and she's gonna figure out how to play all these young punks. Watch. ~BAD~alexdoddsy: Alex said it best. This kid is a dud. His confessionals are boring and completely unimaginative. He gives us no insight as to how he feels about the other players. I feel like he's just going through the motions of playing a game. He's a warm body. Filler. I hate players like this and that kind of "gameplay" won't work in this season. Sure he did great in the last challenge but how about showing some personality! ~GOOD/BAD~sami/ Billy: Grouping them together because I see as being the big power duo of the game so far. They are doing extremely well in their tribes. The Dogpac has them solid as a majority. Sami is just an all around amazing player, socially and physically. Billy is good too but Sami is wayy more likable and as far as I've seen everyone has nothing but good things to say about her. Billy, on the other hand, he can be brash at times and I can see that bothering people. He would go first if these two were to be targeted. The bad could come from them booting Jose. It may bite them in the ass as now they are seen as "here to win" and players will be more cautious around them. ~BAD~Nicole: It's off-putting to see her act jealous about Dylan's relationship with other people. Then she turns around and says its okay because he tells her pretty much everything. Um, does she not see that she is Dylan's bitch? Lol Her adorable level is going down down down. ~GOOD~Dylan Rogers: Made Nicole his bitch. High five, bro. Something that makes me laugh... I get the feeling he's secretly jerking off while talking to Nicole and has her fb open on his computer. I'm sure it's a nice ego booster for her but that could seriously give him a complex if he's not careful. The first chick that lets him have sex with her will probably be very disappointed. (Assuming he's straight) ~GOOD~José Martinez: Despite being voted out, I felt like he put his fucking all into this challenge and game. Now yes he made some mistakes but I am sad to see him go because he has such passion about this game and he deserved better than a blindside this early. ~GOOD~tylerp: Okay, Kudos on him staying this round but he's still the 5th on the totem pole on that tribe. Barring a tribe swap, if they were to lose again, he's done for. Which actually sucks since I find him out of all of them to be the entertaining one. More to come as I filter through all these confessionals.

I actually think that Eric would get voted out before Tyler. Tyler is really growing on Cody/Robbie/Chris and they continuously see how shady Eric is.

~GOOD/BAD~Christopher: This kid will be very dangerous at merge. However, I think the more he groups himself with Cody/Robbie, that could be a detriment to him in the long run. He needs to branch out and do more socializing with everyone else. Too many times in his confessional have I seen him say "never talked to this person". If you say that more than once or twice, you are failing at the social game. ~GOOD~codyc: Super impressed with how well he's been able to adapt to the new era of iSurv1vor. I see him going very far and I feel like people forget he's a past winner. He's using everything he's learned to be an even better player. I respect that. However, I do hope he doesn't lean too much on his Chikara tribemates. They bring him down, personality wise. ~BAD~craig: Bad, you ask? Well here's why... He's in the majority alliance. Great! But he's still not as tight in that unit as Billy/Sami are. Not only that, not too many people really talk to him much. The whole Chikara tribe was like who? Plus, he's cocky. The further he goes, I can see this kind of smug attitude showing more. He is smart, though and if he develops more bonds then he can be dangerous. But so far, meh. ~BAD~Ginny: Please write something in your journal. ANYTHING. I see people saying she's smart and has good ideas but would it kill her to jot a few of them down? It makes me not want to root for her at all. I do think she brings a certain "attitude" to the game but other than that, it's mostly, "I'm an idiot but I know it. Please don't judge me". Bitch please. That's what everyone is doing! Judging your dumb ass. ~BAD~Eric: I will lol so hard when this kid gets blindsided. As would most of the cast, it seems. Good at challenges. Bad at making himself not look like a dick. ~GOOD/BAD~Jamie: I don't know how she did it but she saved her ass this round! Either give it up to her persuasion skills or look down on Billy/Sami for being swayed. Either way, she deserves props. Now all she needs to do is actually keep up the social game. That's what she's lacking on. Time to actually bond with the DogPac instead of just trying to "prove" her worth in challenges. ~GOOD~sassy: I was going to make it half good half bad but decided against it. She's playing all angles and doing well at it so far. I do wonder if the other players see her as being genuine or fake as hell. I can see it going either way honestly. Regardless, she should concentrate on socializing with the people she isn't so connected with. I can see her making merge and after that, it's totally up to how strong of a "bond" she's made with everyone else. Still to come: Aaron, Jeffrey, Daniel, Kelman, Vartevar, Samantha

~GOOD/BAD~Aaron = He seems really smart and aware of his surroundings but he doesn't seem to stand out in anyone's eyes really. They don't know quite what to make of him. I see his strategy playing out and while its a good one, it might end up getting him cut sooner than later. ~BAD~vartevar: He hasn't impressed anyone and unless he becomes less self-centered, he won't last very much longer. ~BAD~kelman: Will someone bitchslap this asshole? What a fucking turd. He thinks way too much of himself and his latest confessional is absolutely appalling. What a scumbag. I hope he gets his just desserts soon because I'm ready for him to fuck off. ~GOOD/BAD~zelbic: He's got a strong hold on the Saaki tribe. He's in a tight 3 with Nicole and Dylan. I don't see that breaking up anytime soon but he needs to be careful when it comes to his relationship with Dodds. Dudds could very well be his weakness. It's one thing to try and protect him but it's totally another thing to go out of your way so much for someone that it starts to make you look bad. I still see him at least making merge and/or jury. ~GOOD?~JRitz: I put the question mark there because I just don't know. I enjoyed his first round videos but this 2nd round has been meh? Maybe it's because they won and he didn't need to go fully in depth but he can either be really dangerous moving forward or just fall in line to be voted out when he isn't useful to people any longer. ~GOOD/BAD~robbieriot: I really hope his obnoxiousness catches up with him. But I feel like he's too smart to let someone get the best of him. Gotta blindside this one or else it's curtains for everyone else.
