Survivor

Did anyone else notice Matty's psycho laugh during the "Mind over Matter" challenge? It was when it was just him and Bob left and he was trying to get Bob to drop the poles. Matty reminded me of Jack Nicholson in The Shining. I liked this guy before but his surfer guy and every other word is "dude" and "I love my girrrlfriend" act is getting old. Plus, it's hard for me to root for someone who who inherited a bunch of money and spent it all. It was great watching him talk trash to Bob (almost 60 years old...Matty is a personal trainer) and almost drop the pole. He was a quarter of an inch away from losing.

It sucks Bob lost, and he's probably on the chopping block for Kota next, but that guy put up one hell of a fight in that challenge. I got to say that I've been really impressed at his ability to compete in challenges...especially given his advanced age.

I just love Bob so much but his chances of winning are very slim because he never aligned himself with anyone.He has shown that he can compete with the younger players and that makes me very proud of him.I wish he could figure out a way to get into an alliance.

Bob is a follower and doesn't seem to have a game plan of his own...

Well, keep in mind that we are only seeing a few minutes of every couple days. Who knows what happens that doesn't get aired. Bob isn't very controversial so I wouldn't doubt this is just creative editing by CBS to only show the schemers scheming.

RED RUM!!!! Serious, what the F was up with Matty's laughing?!?!? He definitely showed his true colors when he went all psycho during that competition. C'mon Matty, are you really talking trash to a 60 year guy??? What a pathetic loser. As far as Bob not having a game plan, check out Jeff Probst's quote below...

He's consistent and he stays out of the way. Great strategy. Nobody is thinking about Bob at all. He's no dummy. He knows exactly what he's doing.

I just thought it was funny when he did that, and seriously your questioning him for taunting an old man?He knew that if he lost he would have been voted off that day, do whatever it takes to survive another day. Oh and where do you guys get these quotes from Jeff?

Jeff has a blog after every show on the Entertainment Weekly website.Here's the link to last week's blog...http://popwatch.ew.co m/popwa - ch/2008/11/jeff-probst-blo.htm l

Matty's let out the psycho cackle a few times now...think he's lost it a bit out there...

OMG that was freakin funny and I certainly did not take it as taunting a 60-year-old man; he was trying to make Bob lose his concentration/focus in order to pull off a win, however it didn’t go over to good and Matty almost lost it himself. Bob was doing really well until Matty and the other survivors started talking to him, once that happen combined with the passage of time he started to lose control of the poles, its unfortunate but that is the way the game goes. I love Bob and I really do hope he wins; the odds get even better as each week goes by because he is a shadow in this game, he is not making himself a target and it now looks like they have forgotten about him because of the other power players in this game.

I gotta say that I love Matty. He and Bob are the only ones that've stayed decent out there. Bob is great too but tonight was his version of the evil laugh, anything to stay in it. I've rooted for Matty from the first challenge. Everyone was trying like h*** to get that individual immunity but he was the first one to look back and think of the tribe. That speaks a lot to his character.

When he was doing that pole challenge is what I remembered him laughing and Jeff was saying to focus.He was fortunate that Bob dropped the pole. Since I had Mat as my team member, I didn't want him tolose, but I don't remember what he said offensive toward Bob. Then Mat laughed again at several otherchallenges. It is a strange giggle. Kind of funny though.

This is off topic but, In Matty's bio, it said that he wasted an inheritance. Well someone told me that he is the grandson of the woman who played Mrs. Roper on "Three's Company". Anyone have the scoop on this.Thanks
