Episode 4, No Brady in this Bunch

The bickering uncooperative men lost both challenges and sent Brady packing despite his fishing skills which he thought might save him.

Reward Challenge
Husker Du, do you remember?
The women really kicked the men's collective butt in this memory reward challenge. The men played foolishly. If you don't remember where a match is then don't reveal a new object to the women. Stupid, stupid stupid! Twice the women were all over the men's mistakes, like white on rice.

Immunity Challenge
Tile Me Up, Tile Me Down
The men were going in a dozen different directions to their detriment. No one listened to Rory who was supposed to be their 'eyes'. It was a total mess. On the other hand, the women worked the problem out logically and then cooperated to get'er done. Eliza was the 'eyes' for the women (and she has nice eyes too).

Tribal Council
(paraphrased)
Jeff: Rory you seem to have zero respect, you've gotten votes every TC and no one listened to you during the immunity challenge. Are you worried?
Rory: I'm scared as hell.
Jeff: The momentum seems to have shifted to the women. Bubba, do any of you sense it too?
Bubba: We sure do, the women kicked us in the groin today.
Jeff: Brady did the guys start playing individually too soon?
Brady: Basically yes, from the get-go.
Chris: We don't know how the women are playing!
Jeff: Does it matter if they merge with numbers against the you? They'll just pick you off one-by-one!

Jeff seemed to do his best to get the men to play better as a team. I wonder if it will help any?

Alliances
Obviously the Fat Five are a force to be reckoned with in the men's tribe. OK it's really only a problem for John K., who's the last young buck left. After he's out of the way, the Fat Five can turn on each other. The women seemed worried about what Eliza is doing but winning immunity has bought her some time.

Heroes & Villains
At this point, I really can't say I like any of the men. That orange Bob Barker t-shirt of Bubba's has got to go. Chad is so boring that if it weren't for his prosthetic leg I wouldn't be able to recognize him. Sarge bugs me the most. He said that he learned that when you "go to war" you "take your strongest warriors". This isn't some great insight, but he thought it was. "No warrior scholar is he", Yoda.

My two favorite women are Eliza and Ami (what is that tattoo on her lower back?). Twila annoys me. I wish she weren't around.

Bubba Quote
"The women kicked us in the groin today."
Not one of Travis' better sayings, but it will do.
