It took them 7 episodes, but the last remnants of Russell's alliance has finally been eliminated from the game. Stephanie's mentor must have been proud to see her exact another round of revenge in her parting comments. Who do you think has demonstrated the greater apptitude for the game: the group on Ometepe that blindly follows Rob or the Zapatera 6 who threw a challenge in an effort to clean up their tribe?

If Matt returns, do you think Rob can welcome him back without risking a betrayal? Who do you think will be the first to flip on their tribe: Phillip, Andrea, David or Ralph? Does Rob have a strong enough alliance to protect him after the merge? Can you see any way for the outnumbered, remaining members of Zapatera to have a shot at winning this season? The merge is finally upon us. If you were playing, who would you want on your jury if you made it to the final tribal council?

Here are the tribes after episode 7.
Ometepe:Andrea, Ashley, Grant, Natalie, Phillip and Rob
Zapatera:David, Julie, Mike, Ralph and Steve
Redemption Island Duel:Sarita vs. Matt

Jo Ann thinks Mike will be voted out. Stacy thinks Rob will have the majority alliance and will target David as his biggest threat. Who is your pick for the next one to be voted out?

The intense action and drama of the early episodes appears to have left some of you feeling that we are in a bit of a lull after episode 6. Zapatera finished up with some house cleaning that started with Russell, and Rob's made Ometepe so comfortable that half the tribe doesn't even appear to be playing. Several folks mentioned that Redemption Island might be partially responsible for not yet being more invested in the remaining castaways. Fear not Survivor Fans. We are not quite at the half way point. Rest assured, there will be lots of great action to come!

For each episode, we provide 3 podcasts: an episode recap, an interview with the castoff, and a chance for Survivor fans like yourself to sound off on what you saw and how you think the castaways are fairing in the game. Twenty four fans shared their thoughts on episode 6 and predictions for what we'll see next.

We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we heard from: Johnnymac, Evil Male Parvati, Dave, Doug, Samantha, Ryan, Brian, Matt, Rashmi, Aaron, Eric, Lil' Russ, Glenn, Rann, DrewG, JP, Nicky, Griffin, Tyler, Jeremiah, Dee Dee, Donald, Mikeybear and Paul.

This week we interviewed Krista Klump. She left the game in episode 6 of Survivor Redemption Island. Krista's youth turned out to be a disadvantage with a predominately older tribe. When she aligned with Russell and Stephanie, she sealed her fate and was left with little opportunity to save herself.

Listen to this audio interview to hear how she chose her alliance, how she felt about her edit, what she and Matt discussed at Redemption Island and lots more!

Stephanie's gameplay may be lacking, but she might just have a future as a weather girl. As she predicted, a storm has settled over Zapatera. The cracks in the Zapatera 6 appeared to widen this week. We were treated to a new view of Sarita as the weakest member of the tribe. Several of her tribemates mentioned that she was annoying and referred to her as a princess, an "uptown girl" and someone who was not really suited to the game. The gap between her and David widened even further as he actively lobbied to vote her out. Who will they turn on next now that they are down to six?

What did David gain from arguing to keep Stephanie? How do you think it affected his standing with his alliance? Do you think Andrea has given up on reuniting with Matt? Will sharing the HII clue with Phillip be Rob's undoing? Will evil Stephanie finally upset good Matt at Redemption Island?

Here are the tribes after episode 6.
Ometepe:Andrea, Ashley, Grant, Natalie, Phillip and Rob
Zapatera:David, Julie, Mike, Ralph, Sarita and Steve
Redemption Island Duel:Stephanie vs. Matt

Jo Ann's sticking with her prediction that Phillip will be voted out. Stacy thinks David is on the chopping block. Who is your pick for the next one to be voted out?

We are only five episodes into this season, but a lot of you were thinking about end game implications in your feedback this week. Topics included Matt's potential role in Rob's future success or failure, the effectiveness of the Zapatera 6 as a team and what that means for them at the end, and several people focused on how the tribes will fair after the expected merge. The voicing of support for Rob continues to build as he deftly manages everyone left in Ometepe. We also enjoyed the analysis you offered on the potential implications and possible variations for Redemption Island in future seasons.

For each episode, we provide 3 podcasts: an episode recap, an interview with the castoff, and a chance for Survivor fans like yourself to sound off on what you saw and how you think the castaways are fairing in the game. Twenty eight fans shared their thoughts on episode 5 and predictions for what we'll see next.

This week we interviewed Kristina Kell. She left the game in episode 5 of Survivor Redemption Island. Not content with riding coattails, Kristina hit the ground running with an aggressive approach to the game. Unfortunately for her, she was under the watchful eye of the Robfather, and he didn't approve. Once he marked her as a threat, it was all over for poor Kristina.

Listen to this audio interview to hear how this long time fan got on the show, an assessment of her tribemates, how she took revenge on Phillip and lots more!

The surprises just keep coming. Who would have guessed in the beginning of the season that the "Natalie White clone", who looked like she was hand picked to be in an alliance with Russell, had no social game? Stephanie's storm showed up, but she wasn't immune to it's effects. The bitterness that she and Krista cultivated seems to have ensured that they will not be long for the game. All told, Zapatera took quite the beating this week as almost everyone was shown to be flawed in some manner: Mike was a klutz and doused the fire, Julie dwells on karmic retribution, Sarita made a bad decision at the challenge by picking Stephanie instead of David, Stephanie failed to solve the puzzle, Ralph didn't know his left from his right, David is a hot head, Steve is unhealthy and unathletic. Do you think we might be witnessing the beginning of the end of the Zapatera tribe?

Can you see any way for Stephanie to survive? How long will Rob be able to hide the HII from his alliance? Do you think there is any chance that Matt and Andrea will reunite to get revenge on Ometepe? Does Krista stand a chance to upset Matt at Redemption Island?

Here are the tribes after episode 5.
Ometepe:Andrea, Ashley, Grant, Natalie, Phillip and Rob
Zapatera:David, Julie, Mike, Ralph, Sarita, Stephanie and Steve
Redemption Island Duel:Krista vs. Matt

We are speculating that the Ometepe win was a fluke, and predict that they will finally give Phillip the boot after they lose next week. Who is your pick for the next one to be voted out?

The Zapetera 6 plus Matt delivered closure to the saga of Russell Hantz, one of the all time greatest villains on the show. Russell always had a polarizing affect on people with his super aggressive gameplay and brash arrogance towards everyone else in the game. Regardless of whether you celebrated him or despised him, it is time to settle up and share your thoughts on his arc and how he went out. That does not mean we are faced with a gap though. This season there are many castaways that we enjoy rooting for or against, and you came through with some great observations about who is worth watching as the season unfolds.

For each episode, we provide 3 podcasts: an episode recap, an interview with the castoff, and a chance for Survivor fans like yourself to sound off on what you saw and how you think the castaways are fairing in the game. Thirty four fans shared their thoughts on episode 4 and predictions for what we'll see next.

This week we interviewed Russell Hantz. He left the game in episode 4 of Survivor Redemption Island. Russell is a legend in the game because of how he played and what he accomplished in his first two appearances. Unfortunately for him, that same reputation is also what led to his early exit from this season. When the majority alliance in his tribe rallied against him, he never stood a chance. Not even the "life preserver" called Redemption Island could save him this time.

Listen to this audio interview to hear his assessment of his tribemates, how he chose his alliance and who he approached first, why he got so emotional and lots more!

That was the 1-2 punch, and he is finally down for the count. But just like a poisonous snake that's lethal even after you kill it, Russell found a way to strike one more time before he made his final exit. So much for Ralph keeping secrets. Wouldn't you have loved to see the Ometepe reaction when they found out that Zapatera threw the challenge?

How much damage do you think Ralph's slip up will cause them down the road? Do you think Rob will end up sharing the HII with his alliance? Why do you think we never see anyone else from Ometepe looking for it? We didn't see much from Andrea this week. What do you think is going on with her? Who do you think will win the next RI showdown?

Here are the tribes after episode 4.
Ometepe:Andrea, Ashley, Grant, Natalie, Phillip and Rob
Zapatera:David, Julie, Krista, Mike, Ralph, Sarita, Stephanie and Steve
Redemption Island Duel:Kristina vs. Matt

We both think the decimation of Ometepe will continue. Jo Ann thinks Rob will send Andrea packing next. Stacy thinks it will be Phillip. Who is your pick for the next one to be voted out?
