It's true, Fresh is currently a total mess that is trying to figure this out; I'm sure of it. Honestly Julie is obviously just doing damage control; assuring fans that their voice will be heard and everything is okay, people are safe, and they are well...you can't blame her for that since it's her job. I'm certain this is still the last leg for Terry, Hicks and Oliver; she wouldn't ever be allowed to say "Oh yeah they're totally toast!" This is a series that has a format that REQUIRES fan input. All shows take fan advice into account from the start of a second season...why TD is just barely doing it now is beyond me

Yeah, and even it's form of comedy. Island was a great season because most of the time, excluding Eva, Cody's bear attack, and Tyler's forced elimination, the drama flows organically from the characters and their surroundings while comedy should almost entirely come from their personalities. Lindsay is funny because she is adorably dim-witted but still capable of moments of sheer brilliance, Izzy is funny because she's chaotic neutral, Noah is funny because his jokes come naturally, he doesn't need to think hard about them and the payoff is almost always golden; unlike Jo. In a show like this comedy and drama should go hand in hand. You can't have one depressing episode after another otherwise people won't want to watch. Island was great with offsetting a disturbing elimination with seeing Heather get some form of punishment. The show can be great again if they stop both trying to hard and not caring at the same time; the writers need to get back on the same page and stop acting like children: STAT!
