I'm a bit disappointed in Survivor for merging the blue tribe so quicky - I'm also annoyed at the dull way they did it. While we were watching, Ben suggested that maybe they'd do a schoolyard pick, where Malcolm & Denise got to pick people to join their "new" tribe. That would've been cool. On the plus-side though, neither appear to be in any imminent danger, so diving head first into a tribe full of backstabbers & broken alliances doesn't really seem to have affected their chances of winning the game.

Power Rankings:
1. Love Line: Old Balls & Tiaras - Doug & Bri are in great shape. It's amazing how Penner went from alone, alliance-less & declared "first out" to ruling the red roost. His transition was so smooth too, it was quite professional. He didn't even hurt anyone's feelings doing it! How often does that happen? Denise is still a huge threat & her being 4th to the men's alliance is a great position for her to be in. I think she could beat these guys in some of the individual challenges, forcing them to take out each other before her. I have high expectations for the perennial threat of Doug & Bri this season.
2. Giant Bloody Brazilian Cola - Moon has a solid lead with almost all-yellow team. However, he doesn't seem to have any closers. A few could definitely have some deep runs, but I don't think he's going to keep up the point-winning pace he's on now. RC needs to make some moves for this team to have a chance at the win!
3. The Clap - Bag & Leah are getting demoted to 3rd because Pete's not as smart as he thinks he is. As Ben noted, he really should have asked if Malcolm had an idol. I also think he's completely failing to recognize what a huge threat Malcolm is to him. Malcolm is like a better version of Pete (better in the wilderness, better at the social game - in a non-douchey way) and his first line of order should be to take him out. But his ego is probably blinding him to the fact that he can't control everyone and this will probably be his downfall.
4. I'm on Dregs! - My team name did not disappoint this season, although the team itself has. Losing both my dregs in 1 episode is probably enough to seal up the Loser category for me... or to paraphrase the wise Penner: "Now I am down 1 one person... that gap at this stage in the game may just be insurmountable.” Malcolm will have to do more than win to keep me in this game. Beast mode?
Douche of the Week:
I'm voting for Dana. Weak sauce lady.

I agree with your assessment and rankings. Vote for DoW goes to Dana as well.
My DoW vote goes to Dawson. How many times did she talk about knowing that Jeff was a former MLB player and how she was going to use that to her advantage? Then she goes out and nothing...
Super Lame.
(I'm not purposefully casting my DoW votes for the people that are getting voted out each week. The douchey people just keep getting voted off. I think its a testament to the people doing the voting. Nice work so far people.)
Agreed! I like that the douches are being targeted. Survivor-world is just this season :)
Gonna go with Dana as DoW not for being med-evaced but for talking herself up as a southern-fried badass then copping out from the pain.
Bri just texted me her DoW vote.
Her vote was for "That chick that got voted off, because she was trying to manipulate Jeff." (Dawson)
C'mon people. DoW vote goes to the quitter. Sheesh.
