I think there's a rule about stealing the idols.
Speaking of schemes: So you rig it so someone has both idols and then decide to blindside them. O-kaay. Am I the only one seeing the flaw in that plan? Don't you have to "blindside" them twice - even three times if you actually want them out? Maybe it would have worked on Jamie, but I'm pretty sure James isn't quite as stupid as all that.
Ready to see the end of both J-R and Courtney, though she did have one good line. "I dislike them less than I dislike the rest of the tribe." Shrug " I guess they mistake that for friendship."
I do love James when he's boggling at the idiocy around him.
OMG Jamie, how stupid do you have to be! I don't blame her for not knowing that the idol has to say it's the idol. Fine. But why do you think James would leave it laying around? When he has two plaques in his pants! It boggles! I wish I could have a transcript of the conversation with Frosti where she explained just how that immunity idol came to laying on the ground. There were two plaques in the camp, and one idol, and one plaque was missing! My god, Jamie!

I think the idea is to vote for him now when he doesn't expect it, so he doesn't play the idol at all, and leaves with two idols in his pocket, taking both of them out of the game.
Survivor: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! And the ep title was even "I'm not as dumb as I look." Price. LESS.
Something tells me James won't be that easy to blindside. I'd love for it to come down to Todd v James in the end & see who the real brains in this group are.
Finally caught up with Next Iron Chef. Definitely rooting for Symon over the other two.
Did anyone watch Dinner Impossible last night? Neal Patrick Harris was a guest on the show, whathisname had to make a dinner for magicians and their guests making food look like something else. It was all high tech sciencey stuff. They were kind of easy on him because 3 dishes were already planned so DI guy had to come up wtih an entree and then replicate the 3 other dishes.

I watched it! Great episode.
NY Times article about John Besh. . . he has a compelling story. Is that good for ICA?
LOVED Survivor last night. James made me laugh very hard when he got giddy over Jamie having the fake idol and thinking it was the real thing. Courtney annoys the hell out of me with her it's-all-about-how-people-treat-me whining, but it makes her unpredictable, and that makes the show more interesting to watch.
Jeff throwing the fake idol in the fire was a great bit.
