I am NOT excited about Malcolm's new proposal for a Tough Guy alliance, primarily because I don't have any of the Tough Guys on my team. There hasn't been a final 4 of all young, athletic men in a very long time (if ever), though, so it will be interesting to see if they can pull it off. I don't think they'll follow through with it though. Eventually one of them will realize that they stand a better chance in Final Tribal against the likes of Phillip or Corinne & hopefully switch things up once they're down to 7 or 8 players. Whatever they do, I hope they don't vote out my favorite narrator Cochran!
Cochran has a very astute perspective on Phillip, and watching their dynamic is the best. He's losing control of his face though - his grin keeps popping up when Phil is in the midst of a serious Stealth R Us speech; fortunately Phillip doesn't seem to notice.
Side Bets:
- Toothpaste: Pickett v. Bag -- Winner: Pickett
- Med-evac: Bag (Cochran) v. Moon (Shamar) -- Winner (so far): Moon!
- Odds on Malcolm hooking up with a fellow castaway - Pickett is taking -500 on him not hooking up with anyone

Power Rankings:
1. The Blindsiders - Moon got lucky that Michael didn't get voted out, because really that was the most logical play this episode, and I thought Dawn & Cochran would be smart enough to go with him. Besides that, though, Moon is still sitting pretty, especially with Malcolm in the best possible position right now.
2. Jessum's Harem - Lost the lead... sort of! My team's in some trouble though. Their alliance may be done with, but if none of them realize it yet that's a big issue. I can easily see one of them getting blindsided before they figure out that Malcolm has ambitious plans that don't include them.
3. The Great White Hope - Are Doug & Bri back in the competition? If so, it's a major come-back from a dire start! With two men in the potential Tough Guys alliance, they could do very well for themselves in the merge.
4. Shamarn't - This episode was pretty standard for Bag & Leah in that it resulted in bad news for them. It's too bad that Julia wasn't the Next Sophie, but instead was as dull as mud. The fat has been trimmed from this team; let's see what Reynold can accomplish all by his lonesome!
Douche of the Week:
I think this may have been the least douchey episode of the season so far. No one is standing out at a clear winner for me, so I'm going to vote for Phillip based on the finger wagging lecture he gave to Corinne.

Phil!
Back in the game... Go Alpha Male alliance! Oh, and take Cochran with you. Definitely liking how this may turn out.
Merge is going to be awesome either way. There are a lot of ways this thing could go from here. If Reynold plays his idol correctly, Zack and Leah could be right back in this thing too. Exciting!
I'll go Phil for DoW. He was a pretty big douche to Julia when he was talking to her about being a double agent.
Bri chooses Phil for DoW this week too. She choose him because he claimed to have "thrown" the challenge when he clearly did not.
Phil DoW for ^^^
