Palau...

How weird it is to be watching Survivor as just a casual observer again - it's been years since I have done that and I have to say I loved it. SO relieved that I didn't have to try to figure out all those people's names because don't they all look alike? Well, a great deal of them anyway. Except for Wanda. Singing Wanda. Angie might think she has the outcast role all sewn up, but when it was her and Wanda standing there, waiting to be picked, EVERYONE and their mother knew Angie wasn't going anywhere. Who wants Little Miss Sing a Sucky Song on their team, no matter how many tattoos Angie might have? I did enjoy the picking of the teams (especially with each person picking the next person) and ironically, just like the last time that was done, in Thailand, we have a team with all young, buff people in Team Ulong. A team that lost the first challenge and got rid of their leader, too. Not saying I wasn't happy to see Jolanda go, because I was, but at least she was willing to step up and make some decisions. I just can't imagine them doing well - at all. But I know it's still early.

Basically, everyone I like is on Team Koror and that includes Tom (who seriously could be John Slattery's brother), Ian, Janu, Caryn (gotta love the hometown gal) and yes, Coby. I can see why some might not like Coby but I enjoy anyone who starts playing the game from the very first moment. He basically single-handedly got Jonathan eliminated and I know he looks kind of shitty for not picking Angie, but, hey, maybe he liked the idea of having an ally on the other team.

Man, though, when Koror's boat tipped over on the way to the new island - I laughed so hard! It was SO funny. But then I immediately realized the horror of that and remembered Jeff talking about the "heavily weighted" containers. Oops. Hopefully, that container with the flint won't be that hard to retrieve. Heck, it could be good practice for an upcoming challenge - there always seems to be a challenge like that.
