If the producers wanted a poker player, they should've made a pitch for Daniel Negreanu. Daniel is a HUGE survivors fan, I would've loved to see him in there scheming LOL. He would've been great for the show.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Bellande wasn't their first choice, but like their 37th or something and the other 36 poker players they asked actually still have a poker career going and no interest in embarrasing themselves on national tv. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I was a huge James fan and am still a fan but I'm beginning to sour on him a bit just in his general attitude and thinking. I don't know if he is smart enough to realize how golden his situation is and that he only has to win 3/5 immunities MAX to be in the final 3, and furthermore that his tribemates know this and at this point will try to get rid of him at the first possible instance

The situation with James' hidden immunity idols confronts the other players with an interesting tactical problem though if they want to get rid of him - as long as he has the idols, they have to gather enough votes against James in case he doesn't use the idol, while making sure which player gets the second most votes in case he does use it. I doubt it is possible to do that and could lead to some suprising outcomes at tribal council...
Todd basically has to give up his power of whom to vote out if it is so important for him to vote against James - he had his chance this week, maybe it was his last.
