Okay, Robert you got me all excited thinking Johnathan was going to be somebody really special, and then.....BOOM! He gets dumped immediately! Ya gotta feel sorry for the guy. Especially since he was so darn cute. :(

Now TOM...obviously Karen, you and I have similar tastes in men. My heart is going pitty-patty all over the place! I hope he lasts for a while. Y'know, he reminds me of Hunter from an earlier season, who unfortunately didn't last very long at all. I hope it's not a trend to quickly dump the hunky slightly older dudes!

Oh, the guy from Ventura is Jeff, who is quite hunky himself, even though he's very YOUNG.

Which brings up a comment. CBS must have been getting some feedback about a general deterioration in the overall eye-candy-ness of the last couple of Survivor seasons, because this one is chock FULL of seriously hot bods. I wasn't a bit surprised that Wanda, the strange old gal who reminded me of the "it's not NICE to fool MOTHER NATURE!" lady, got sent home quickly. She clearly didn't fit in. And frankly, her constant bizarre singing was obviously going to get old FAST.

But there does seem to be a dearth of people of a "certain age", doncha think? I mean really, the vast majority of these folks are clearly young bucks. Where are the interesting older folks?? We need them to add an infusion of basic common sense among all the raging hormone-infected thinking that seems to go on among the under-30 crowd on there.

(Okay, an admission here: it's my dream to be on Survivor! Not that I would ever apply...but all my friends insist that I'd get picked, being a 45-year-old marathon runner and all that...so I can't help but constantly judge the show based on what I'd do in any given situation...but please don't tell anyone that!!!)
