Cant stand the stuff.

Get it out of my face.

A Diamond In The Rough

It would certainly save all of us a lot of time.)

That put a stop to that.

I remember meeting Donathan before the game.

I thought to myself: What a sweet kid.

I also thought to myself: He is going to get eaten up in this game.

A lot of times as we have learned all too often recently ignorance can breed contempt.

Thats because weaker-willed people tend to fear the unknown.

He actively wants to broaden his horizons, and that attitude is so damn refreshing.

Hell, we have seen these sob stories every single week at Ghost Island.

But I have been eating up every morsel of Donathans story.

That didnt feel like forced backstory.

That doesnt make Chris a bad guy.

I actually think its a smart move.

After Donathan heard that, he said he felt that connection to Chris and didnt want to target him.

The problem is, Donathans strongest ally in Laurel does.

So what does he do now?

What struck me most was when Donathan said that he needs to think about whats best for Donathan.

It struck me for two reasons.

It struck me that he referred to himself in the third person, because that is always super awesome.

So now lets see if my man actually has any game in him.

Okay, lets recap all the other odds & ends from the latest episode, shall we?

Im like a diamond in the rough.

You see me glow, this aint pay per view, its a free show.

Im still shooting em all dead, free throw.

Ummmmm… What just happened?

Did I miss something?

Words can do the song no justice, so ladies and gentlemen, yo watch the video below and…

PREPARE TO GET BLAZED!!!

Thats why Chris Noble is Gods gift to television audiences.

The man is a revelation.

Then those would be thrown at spinning targets to reveal three flags.

All you better know is that Chris basically hit every single shot he took.

Have you noticed a trend?

The overwhelming majority of people I spoke with felt that this seasons tribe swap was way too early.

Otherwise, Stephanie is not getting the No Game Today parchment.

We already expanded from a final 2 to final 3.

Why now have something to protect the person in the number 4 spot?

Where does the madness end?

Hold On For Dear LifeHot damn, this immunity challenge looked fun.

(Watch it and tell me Im wrong.)

Lets call it a draw.

Ah, but Malolo had puzzle demons Kellyn and Bradley going to work.

Could they make up the time?

So much for that!

That was my first clue.

I guess she doesnt exactly like to be consoled either.

And just compare that cold shoulder to her shoulder squeeze reactionbeforethe challenge.

A tale of two Kellyns indeed.

How Low Can Malolo Go?

Instead, we all knew it would be a down-the-line vote.

We just didnt know if that meant Michael, Jenna, or Stephanie was going home.

And the Malolos were doing their part to try and stay.

Thats where I go.

Uh-oh, looks like we have a self-diagnosed case of RBF.

But Stephanie went even one step further.

There are so many ways to look at what strength is in this game.

PREACH!!!!

A lot of that other athletic stuff is just (albeit very cool and very fun) window dressing.

Stephanies Last StandSurvivoris a cruel game.

Just because you are a strong player does not mean you will have a strong outing.

Look no further than Boston Rob for proof on this.

Homeboy played four times.

And that was game over for her.

I wasnt the only one sad to see Stephanie go.

That was almost as distracting as the fact that Sea Bass wrote Waffle Wednesday on his vote.

Not that I am opposed to there being a Waffle Wednesday.

Im down with waffles any day, any time, any meal.

And that will do it.

We are now more than a third of the way through the season.

And look at that!

For the first time all season I am bringing this sucker in at less than 4,000 words.

Of course, that doesnt mean were done here.

ET Thursday morning).

And for a seemingly non-stop stream ofSurvivorscoop, follow me on Twitter@DaltonRoss.

Did the former Naviti five get rid of the right person?

Is Donathan your favorite player so far?

And what do you make of the legend (in his own mind?)

that is Chris Noble.

Weigh in on the message board below and Ill be back next week with another scoop of the crispy!
