After watching these last few episodes of Survivor, it has really struck me that several of the contestants this time around really line up with characters from Lost.
Terry is Jack. He's the de facto leader of his tribe, appointed by group osmosis. His tribe wants him to tell them what to do. He is concerned about keeping them all healthy.
Shane is Sawyer. He's terrible to be around and completely selfish, but commands enough power to keep everyone from turning against him.
Courtney is Shannon. Spoiled airhead blonde that does whatever she wants, whenever she wants, and has no concern for anyone else.
Bruce thinks he's Locke. He's deeply spiritual, and thinks he's loaded with important survival skills. In reality, he's Arzt. He's bossing everybody around, acting like a main character, when in fact he's not going to last until the end of the season.
I'm sure there are more parallels to be drawn, but that's as far as I've gotten.

when Bobby drank that bottle of wine, we all knew he was done. he's obviously never *watched* the show. the really hilarious part was when he told Courtney he felt bad for everyone else, except her!
Bruce and Courtney are fighting for the top psycho spot. Bruce's rock garden is almost on par with Courtney's turtle memorial.
"swear on my kid"? what the heck does that mean? maybe Shane will wind up winning the psycho award.
I have a toy version of the skull-pyramid puzzle from the immunity challenge. it's a simple puzzle anyway, but I woulda solved it in like 2 seconds!

I missed last nights episode, is Mr. Myiagi still around?
the tai chi master looked like he was a goner, he was not fitting into the group too well, and was working on his rock garden while telling others to get firewood.
but Bobby was being such a pompous a$$. he was proud he drank the extra bottle of wine (they all had won). when they were telling him how awful it was, he argued back about how he felt bad that they got mad at him (not how he felt bad he drank it) it was quite unbelievable he would act that way. which, of course, made it more amusing for the audience :-D
