                                                  SUMMARY

3.  SWITCH-UP 3   members of each tribe went to the other tribe.
4.  Frank tried talking to the elephant.
5.  Lex is a bully.  I don't blame Rob M. in the All-Stars season for doing what he did.  Lex has no-one to blame.  He is doing the same thing he accused Rob doing.

                                                    3-30-2014  UPDATED
12.  When Lex told Clarence he was being voted off - Clarence should have take that time informing some type of alliance in trying to stay instead he just relax in accepted
13.  When Ethan won the reward into town - Lex took over the reward & Ethan allowed it.
14.  Lex acted like a baby when he received two votes.  Get over it Lex -not everyone likes you..
15.  Kelly was right (Survivor 101)  - she was told she was being voted off & what she does is try to form an alliance.
16.  Brandon lied.  He lied to Lex & Lex believes him instead of standing true to his alliance.  He is playing the game.
17.  Lindsey never played the game instead was out for for a vacation.
                                               6-29-2014  UPDATED
18.  I feel Lex shouldn't blame Rob in future season when he played him 'cause he is doing the same thing this season.

                                      FINAL TWO
                   Kim J. vs. Ethan
KEY OF PLAYER:
Lex - he shouldn't blame Rob M. (All-Stars Season).  Was very strategic.
