What a great episode! I'm glad it's on TiVo, as I plan to watch it again this weekend and fully enjoy the many stages. Especially the lions.
I found Meredith and Gretchen particularly interesting. I have been rooting for them to go away now, please, and take that voice with you. But I was pretty impressed with the way Gretchen handled the fall, and the way they took the loss of all their possessions. Of course, the terrible "Rhino relief fund, and we're not lyin'" line pretty much did them in again as far as I was concerned, but for probably 30 minutes I didn't hate them. And of course it gave yet another opportunity for Uchenna and Joyce to show how amazingly cool they are in giving them clothes.
I'm not sure about Rob. On the one hand, he's probably both playing a part and being editing to be shown playing that part. On the other hand, you at least slow down for a minute when you drive by a car crash. And, while the stress of the race gets to people, he was kind of a jerk later on. Not Ray-level jerk, but still. I respect their ability to get it done, and I think even without the occasional Survivor fan helping them they would still being doing very well. But...
At least there are really nice teams that you can root for this time, as opposed to last season when all the screen time until very late was with the jerks.
