Anyway, Helen sucks for wanting to vote Brian out just because he has money. That’s like going to a chess tournament and hearing, “Anyone who makes a lot of money has to let your opponent win.”
Merged Tribe Divided
They return from the reward challenge, name themselves Chuay Jai (for a second time), create a flag (decorated with each person’s handprint), and rethink their strategy. Some people stated that the person who’ll be voted out now is the person who is the most annoying.
Ted takes some quality “Me” time and heads out into the canoe all by himself. The others (except for Brian) think that this is just the strangest, wildest, craziest thing a person could do and seem to have totally forgotten that he just saw his infant child for the first time in almost a month. Several people jump on this one little thing and now Ted has become a social pariah because he chose to do what everyone on that island wanted to do.
I think I figured out how Clay looks and acts when he lies. As he was yupping Jake along about how they could get together and form some sort of alliance to the end, his eyes were a little more open than usual and just sort of unfocused. And when he speaks, he’s usually more direct, his words are stronger. When lying or speaking to someone and not sharing his true thoughts, his words lose their oomph and conviction. I’m going to watch him more closely now that the tribes have merged to see if my theory is true.
