I didn't think Ali would go home. But I also did. On the one hand I thought Ryan was actually trying to mend his relationship with Ali so that they could move forward in the game. And they played it up in the episode like he did that. On the other hand, they played up JP as the vote so hard for the whole episode that I felt like when the vote came that it wouldn't possibly be JP.
Ryan really f'd it up when he got defensive with Ali. He should have hung his head, copped to not trusting Roark and played up Ali's budding relationship as being so threatening that he didn't feel like he could confide in her anymore, but instead he got defensive about it and tried to defend himself instead of looking contrite and regretful. He ultimately did what I thought should have happened last week and got rid of one of his dangerous allies whom he backstabbed.
I liked his line about how everyone wants to work with him but how he's such a weasel
Chrissy came off a lot better in this episode than she did in the last one. I still think she's carting around a whopper of an ego, but she at least wasn't featured enough in this episode where she could talk about how awesome she is. I feel like she's becoming a bit blind to her successes in that a ton of this game is luck and being on the right side of twists and she hasn't had a major setback to really set her straight yet.
I was kind of bummed about Joe finding the idol again because I don't like him. I would have preferred Desi find it so that she would be more comfortable flipping on him with the other two.
And I increasingly can't stand Cole. He comes off as an idiot. But I love Doctor Mike, and love the combo of Doctor Mike, Ben and Lauren teaming up to vote him out if/when the time comes. I also thought it was interesting that even tho Cole took a nose-dive in the middle of camp the medics weren't called. Makes sense in the sense Doctor Mike is a... doctor a knew how to take care of him, but also belies the face that his fall wasn't necessarily bad enough and he recovered well enough that Doctor Mike and Jessica could handle the situation. Even though I don't like Cole, I'm glad he wasn't medivac'd.
It looks like there's a merge next week! The merge phase is always the most exciting!

Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
