If Pagong gets immunity this week it could spell big trouble for Rudy. Consider that both Sean and Kelly are likely to vote against him. Who will stand by Rudy? I really hate Richard with a passion, and would like to see him off the island, but with his support, we might see the tribe turn against, say Kelly. But isn't Kelly in cahoots with Richard? I think all three of Kelly, Sean, and Richard need to go, but I think I can hold off on Richard for a while and swallow my pride. I think our best hope this next time is for Richard (and a few others including Rudy) to turn against Sean.

Some, I dare say, may not be too fond of Rudy... but could you stand to see Richard survive till the end. That slimeball represents everything I hate.

I guess it was all for nought with Tagi's immunity... now all bets are off with the merging of the two tribes.

As someone who doesn't own a TV, I had to scratch my head for a while before I figured out what this was all about.

Who's Rudy?

-- Mary (maprunner@juno.com), July 06, 2000.

Rudy is the 72-year-old ex-marine in the Tagi Tribe.

I'm a bit confused about this, too. Mostly, I'm wondering if Mook should be training -- jogging, biking, or armchairm mapreading -- instead of worrying about Rudy.

I for one believe we can't help who we fall in love with. Opps sorry for implying anything Mook.

Tonight it's time for the next go round, no?

I would like to point out that soon we will all have a chance to play O' Survivor, a variant on the TV show. In this version, contestants will run the US Long Champs. Voting will take place at each control, with voting done by running speed. The slowest runners will get thrown by the side. However, unlike the TV show where the voting results are permanent, runners voted out in the Long Champs will have their shot(s) at redemption. Come-backs will be possible, especially if the race leaders become subject to wilting in the late stages of the race!

Yes, at 21.5km the blue course promises to be a slugfest. It may even separate the men from the boys. But only 400m in climbing! I'm really interested in hearing more about the terrain for the long course.

I watched about ten minutes of "Survivor" tonight. I'd never seen it before. I don't think I'll ever see it again. But, in ten minutes I did think Richard was a goof. So was Rudy.

-- Michael (mike_eglinski@kcmo.org), July 12, 2000.

... and I think you're a goof for watching it!
