Stephanie's gameplay may be lacking, but she might just have a future as a weather girl. As she predicted, a storm has settled over Zapatera. The cracks in the Zapatera 6 appeared to widen this week. We were treated to a new view of Sarita as the weakest member of the tribe. Several of her tribemates mentioned that she was annoying and referred to her as a princess, an "uptown girl" and someone who was not really suited to the game. The gap between her and David widened even further as he actively lobbied to vote her out. Who will they turn on next now that they are down to six? What did David gain from arguing to keep Stephanie? How do you think it affected his standing with his alliance? Do you think Andrea has given up on reuniting with Matt? Will sharing the HII clue with Phillip be Rob's undoing? Will evil Stephanie finally upset good Matt at Redemption Island?

Here are the tribes after episode 6. Ometepe:Andrea, Ashley, Grant, Natalie, Phillip and Rob Zapatera:David, Julie, Mike, Ralph, Sarita and Steve Redemption Island Duel:Stephanie vs. Matt

Jo Ann's sticking with her prediction that Phillip will be voted out. Stacy thinks David is on the chopping block. Who is your pick for the next one to be voted out?

We are only five episodes into this season, but a lot of you were thinking about end game implications in your feedback this week. Topics included Matt's potential role in Rob's future success or failure, the effectiveness of the Zapatera 6 as a team and what that means for them at the end, and several people focused on how the tribes will fair after the expected merge. The voicing of support for Rob continues to build as he deftly manages everyone left in Ometepe. We also enjoyed the analysis you offered on the potential implications and possible variations for Redemption Island in future seasons. For each episode, we provide 3 podcasts: an episode recap, an interview with the castoff, and a chance for Survivor fans like yourself to sound off on what you saw and how you think the castaways are fairing in the game. Twenty eight fans shared their thoughts on episode 5 and predictions for what we'll see next. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we heard from: Becca, Ian, Ryan, Elizabeth, Samantha, Eric, Lil' Russ, Debi & Steve, Dave, Sandi, Matt, Rann, Brian, Kimberly, Carolyn, Glenn, Griffin, Michell & Jason, Aaron, Alice, Jen, Shelley, Lianne, DrewG, Dark Helmet, Dee Dee, MikeK, and Michael.

This week we interviewed Kristina Kell. She left the game in episode 5 of Survivor Redemption Island. Not content with riding coattails, Kristina hit the ground running with an aggressive approach to the game. Unfortunately for her, she was under the watchful eye of the Robfather, and he didn't approve. Once he marked her as a threat, it was all over for poor Kristina. Listen to this audio interview to hear how this long time fan got on the show, an assessment of her tribemates, how she took revenge on Phillip and lots more!

The surprises just keep coming. Who would have guessed in the beginning of the season that the "Natalie White clone", who looked like she was hand picked to be in an alliance with Russell, had no social game? Stephanie's storm showed up, but she wasn't immune to it's effects. The bitterness that she and Krista cultivated seems to have ensured that they will not be long for the game. All told, Zapatera took quite the beating this week as almost everyone was shown to be flawed in some manner: Mike was a klutz and doused the fire, Julie dwells on karmic retribution, Sarita made a bad decision at the challenge by picking Stephanie instead of David, Stephanie failed to solve the puzzle, Ralph didn't know his left from his right, David is a hot head, Steve is unhealthy and unathletic. Do you think we might be witnessing the beginning of the end of the Zapatera tribe? Can you see any way for Stephanie to survive? How long will Rob be able to hide the HII from his alliance? Do you think there is any chance that Matt and Andrea will reunite to get revenge on Ometepe? Does Krista stand a chance to upset Matt at Redemption Island?

Here are the tribes after episode 5. Ometepe:Andrea, Ashley, Grant, Natalie, Phillip and Rob Zapatera:David, Julie, Mike, Ralph, Sarita, Stephanie and Steve Redemption Island Duel:Krista vs. Matt

We are speculating that the Ometepe win was a fluke, and predict that they will finally give Phillip the boot after they lose next week. Who is your pick for the next one to be voted out?

The Zapetera 6 plus Matt delivered closure to the saga of Russell Hantz, one of the all time greatest villains on the show. Russell always had a polarizing affect on people with his super aggressive gameplay and brash arrogance towards everyone else in the game. Regardless of whether you celebrated him or despised him, it is time to settle up and share your thoughts on his arc and how he went out. That does not mean we are faced with a gap though. This season there are many castaways that we enjoy rooting for or against, and you came through with some great observations about who is worth watching as the season unfolds. For each episode, we provide 3 podcasts: an episode recap, an interview with the castoff, and a chance for Survivor fans like yourself to sound off on what you saw and how you think the castaways are fairing in the game. Thirty four fans shared their thoughts on episode 4 and predictions for what we'll see next. We want to thank and acknowledge everyone who contributed to another great Listener Feedback show. This week we heard from: Kimberly, John, Eric, Ian, Brian, Brandon, Rann, Aaron, Dave, Kathy, IanK, Samantha, Ken, Michael, Lil' Russ, DrewG, Travis, Carolyn, Thomas, Jeremiah, Tyler, MikeK, DrewT, Shelley, Alice, Ryan, Christy, Michelle & Jason, Tim, Tammy, Donald, Griffin, Paul, Mikeybear, Dee Dee and Shane.

This week we interviewed Russell Hantz. He left the game in episode 4 of Survivor Redemption Island. Russell is a legend in the game because of how he played and what he accomplished in his first two appearances. Unfortunately for him, that same reputation is also what led to his early exit from this season. When the majority alliance in his tribe rallied against him, he never stood a chance. Not even the "life preserver" called Redemption Island could save him this time. Listen to this audio interview to hear his assessment of his tribemates, how he chose his alliance and who he approached first, why he got so emotional and lots more!

That was the 1-2 punch, and he is finally down for the count. But just like a poisonous snake that's lethal even after you kill it, Russell found a way to strike one more time before he made his final exit. So much for Ralph keeping secrets. Wouldn't you have loved to see the Ometepe reaction when they found out that Zapatera threw the challenge? How much damage do you think Ralph's slip up will cause them down the road? Do you think Rob will end up sharing the HII with his alliance? Why do you think we never see anyone else from Ometepe looking for it? We didn't see much from Andrea this week. What do you think is going on with her? Who do you think will win the next RI showdown?

Here are the tribes after episode 4. Ometepe:Andrea, Ashley, Grant, Natalie, Phillip and Rob Zapatera:David, Julie, Krista, Mike, Ralph, Sarita, Stephanie and Steve Redemption Island Duel:Kristina vs. Matt

We both think the decimation of Ometepe will continue. Jo Ann thinks Rob will send Andrea packing next. Stacy thinks it will be Phillip. Who is your pick for the next one to be voted out?

A significant event was set in motion during episode 3. Russell's back is against the wall now. Many of you were celebrating, but several were questioning the wisdom of the Zapatera 6. You can bet it made for some action packed discussion. Thankfully, there are other strong characters to focus on this season too. Stephanie has certainly struck a chord and many of you have other favorites you are anxiously following. In addition, several of you weighed in with some surprise, scientific observations about this season that added a special twist to the show! For each episode, we provide 3 podcasts: an episode recap, an interview with the castoff, which will start again with episode 3, and a chance for Survivor fans like yourself to sound off on what you saw and how you think the castaways are fairing in the game.

This week we interviewed Francesca Hogi. She left the game in episode 3 of Survivor Redemption Island. Poor "Fransesqua" had the bad luck of ending up on a tribe with crazy Phillip who couldn't be trusted to make it through a Tribal Council without blabbing all their secrets. It's unfortunate because we really liked Francesca's sense of humor and believe we would have enjoyed watching her play the game and offer snarky comments about her tribemates. Unlike many first vote outs, she will forever be remembered as the first castaway to visit Redemption Island. Listen to this interview to find out how she was cast, what skill she practiced before the show, how she viewed her "troublemaker" comment and lots more!

The surprises just keep coming. Until this episode, Russell had never been voted out. This season he is so disliked by his own tribe that they risked their future in the game to send him packing, if only momentarily. How about that Ralph? How long has it been since we've seen someone keep a secret when it comes to the HII? Do you think Ometepe's win will help them turn it around and shift the game in their favor? Do you think the Zapatera six knew that Russell would target Julie, or did she come up with the plan to scam him all by herself? Can you see a way for Stephanie to redeem herself? Who do you think will win the next RI showdown?

Here are the tribes after episode 3. Ometepe:Andrea, Ashley, Grant, Kristina, Natalie, Phillip and Rob Zapatera:David, Julie, Krista, Mike, Ralph, Sarita, Stephanie and Steve Redemption Island Duel:Russell vs. Matt

Jo Ann thinks Kristina we'll go next. Stacy thinks it will be Andrea. Who is your pick for the next one to be voted out?
