        <![CDATA[ I've moved this from edgic at KQ's suggestion.

 find it fascinating how, in each season, little family configurations seem to ally and hold tight, and how the members of each 'family' end up in the F4. Almost all of us grew up in families of some kind--mother (M), father (F), kids (S,D=son, daughter), maybe an eccentric uncle/grandparent type (E) in the mix. Under stressful conditions, people naturally reproduce a time in their lives when they felt safest.  All of us can be mothers, fathers,... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ The families they chose last night are:
<br>
F - Mick
<br>
anti-M/E - Russell
<br>
E/M - Shambo
<br>
S - Jaison, John
<br>
D - Natalie
<br>
<br>
M - (Laura)
<br>
D - Monica
<br>
S - Brett, Dave
<br>
<br>
So whichever way we consider Shambo and Russell, the former FoFo-based family should be pretty stable. I&#39;d expect them, minus a son, to be F5 for sure.
Family-tension-wise, they should want to resolve the son situation sooner rather than later, although some game event, like individual... ]]></description>

We had a little discussion about Dave earlier and concluded he was like an eldest son. This tribe is looking more and more like it belongs in Neverland to me!

torches) and nurturer (she said some positive praise to each FF member as she met them.)  And like I said, &quot;adopt&quot; is a pretty strong family word.

Shambo was stuck on Galu, where she finally settled in as a shunned outcast, who gets along to get along.  She has no family role with them.  She&#39;s

			<description><![CDATA[ I don&#39;t put much weight on Mick&#39;s title as &quot;leader&quot;. Remember, the twist this season is that each tribe needs to elect a &quot;leader&quot;.
Remember the challenge where Mick showed up without his necklace (because FF thought it was bad luck) and Probst scolded them and said &quot;as long as Mick is
still your leader&quot; or something like that. So I think FF referring to Mick as their &quot;leader&quot; is a title so they don&#39;t get in trouble with
the producers. ]]></description>

Shambo were going great guns at the puzzle portion. Then all at once both started having difficulties. Shambo was using the wrong puzzle piece, I think, but I
swear Mick s-l-o-w-e-d down to allow Laura to win the challenge. I think he doesn&#39;t want to be seen as an immunity threat at this stage of the game. Crafty

her will lead to her immediate boot by the Galuvians.

Russell has the monster stage-hogging edit, but we&#39;ve had many comments that have Shambo and the other Foa Foans telling us how much they like each other. 
Both Mick and Jaison said the wanted to adopt her if they could.  &quot;Adopt&quot; is a pretty strong word that shows how much she must have filled a family
need when she was in Foa Foa&#39;s camp.

We didn&#39;t see Shambo imediately fill out the FoFo family as their M, as we had expected. She was almost in her second childhood, with the Galu men leading
her around and patting her hand, joking that she might vote for Prost at TC (and forgetting the children&#39;s names &quot;Who&#39;s Erik&quot;?).

order to weaken the kids. However, an Eccentric does not direct his tribe to infiltrate the other tribe, as Russell did in the merge episode. A Father does
that. And I have to say that Russell is leading Foa Foa, not Mick.

Anyway, my point is that Russell, to me, is not clearly defined. He appears to be an E to some people, and... ]]></description>
