Some people have argued that the producers overly meddled with this twist, since it immediately puts any strong players at a numbers disadvantage and on a team without alliances. That didn't bother me as much as challenge-throwing, but it's all subjective.
Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

What was the producer meddling?
Oh, I was thinking Probst pointing out the challenge throwing. But the tribe switch was kind of unsubtle too.

I haven't watched it yet, so I'm waiting to read through the last few posts and comment.

These people are seriously dim.
One clue of many to this fact was that it didn't even occur to them that both sides would give up people in the swap.
I only watched part of it. So I didn't realize that what's her name throwing the piece to the side was challenge throwing until they admitted it to their tribe member.
She was also blatently not fitting the pieces into the puzzle.
I hate hate hate challenge throwing. Even if it is part of a "strategy."
(and frankly I think at that time I would have decided to thrown in with the other guys and vote one of the girls off).
I was sort of hoping this would happen. I'm just happy that james didn't go home.

I didn't mind Jeff mentioning the throwing. During the game he said, IIRC< that the peice "ended up" on the side, which could have been a mistake. He has a history of bringing things up at Tribal, pointing out when people are smirking or look angry or teasing out tensions or hidden agendas however he can.

Yeah, I know people get annoyed at Jeff meddling, but it doesn't bother me. It always appeared like he was middle management, or an independent contractor. He doesn't have any power over the contestants and he's not watching the dailies, so he's just pointing out what he sees. I like him forcing people to react to a player that's not in the game (by which I mean Jeff).

Jeff is smart and observant and really into the game, while still realizing it is, you know, a GAME. Me loves him.

Speaking of fun-to-watch reality show hosts, have they announced a date for the next Amazing Race? I miss me some Kiwi eyebrow-poppage!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey, MTV is playing SYTYCD season 2, FYI.

Guess who we saw walking round the Farmer's Market last night? Rafe, the gay Mormorn from Survivor Guatemala. Very tall, very adorkable looking.
