Survivor Instinct
Second Thoughts and Sudden Thoughts About Survivor

Stephenie's Smile?
Did you see Stephenie at Tribal Council while Judd was ranting? He was going on about competing and how winning is all that matters and Stephenie gave a little smile of approval (she got a brief close-up).

I take her smile to mean that she likes what Judd was saying, that she would like more tribe-mates like him. Stephenie seems to be the type of player that thinks Survivor is all about athletic prowess, she seems to forget about puzzle-like challenges that test brain power.

I will give her a little credit for playing the social aspect of the game better this time. But just a little, with the likes of Judd and Rafe on her tribe it doesn't take a master of the game to manipulate them.

Now, if Stephenie was smiling because she knew that Judd was self-destructing in front of the others then she is really playing the game well this time. Which is it? We should know in a few weeks.
