  • Mark is elimated and Matt is the deciding factor.

    This was a heartbreaking episode. Mark has really worked hard and it was sad to see him go. But I don't know who I felt more sorry for--Mark or Matt. Matt seemed really distraught at having to eliminate his friend. And the letter from Matt that Mark found in his suitcase when he got home was so touching. I'm glad Mark was a man and took being elimated better than Nick did and told Matt they were still friends.moreless

  • The scale is fake!

    Okay, the fact that the scale is fake has little to do with this episode, except for its the first time I've seen the show whilst knowing the truth. Not to say that the show has lost its touch in any way, just look at my rating.

    I'm very happy Suzy & Seth won immunity in the second, and final, group weigh-in. I'm also happy Jeff was the biggest loser because the show isn't complete without a voting off.

    And again the team's are smart to vote off the strongest loser. Except Jeff who had to think that if Mark stayed, then they would have been a team together. (And possibly impossible, please ignore the Jeff & Pete fiasco.)

    The interesting thing, without immunity, Seth & Suzy still would have beaten Andrea & Mark in percentage lost.

    Why else does this please me: I can enjoy the personalities of (at least 1) Seth, Suzy, & Andrea for at least 3 more weeks. Matt has been on my loser list ever since he cheated late at night.moreless
