I don't read the recaps there (though I do read the forums). The recaps I think are interesting are Jeff Probst's. Do you ever read his? I'll have to go read last week's TWOP one.
I thought last night's show was booooooooooring and predictable. I hate Redemption Island. It wastes too much showtime just to eliminate a player who's already been voted out. It's just stupid. I miss the reward challenges. Not only are the larger challenges more fun to watch, the reward challenges add a layer to the game that sometimes has significant impact, depending on who gets chosen to go on the reward and how the game play shifts when people are separated. Plus, we'd get to see beautiful parts of where they are, and often some of the culture of the native population.
