Trivia: Have we ever seen a combined immunity/reward team challenge before? I don't remember one off-hand, and as rewards go this one was huge.
I'm not sure I like Lex's betrayal of Colby last night. Colby had a point-- the game's still a team game, and until that changes you want your strongest members to stay. If Colby's a threat to Mogo Mogo, you can be sure Chapera will also see him as a threat. Lex's smarter move was to keep Colby around as a shield, counting on him to take the first bullet from Chapera. All Lex did was move himself a little higher on the hit list once the merge arrives.
Mogo Mogo seems to be imploding, increasing the chances that the final four will come from Chapera. And with the exception of Rupert, there's really nobody there I want to see in the final four. I'll grudgingly admit that Rob is earning his spot, but I still don't like the guy.
My fingers are crossed that Kathy will figure out a way to use this crossover experience to her advantage down the road.
Posted by Peter at March 12, 2004 11:15 AMIf you count the opening "Quest for Fire" game where the winners also take fire home with them, then no, it's not the first. But that doesn't really count, so, no, it was first. And for some reason I didn't feel like I got gypped out of having a two-challenge episodes.
I think Kathy has this game won, if she can last past the merge, whenever that happens.
