    Michael, Rodger, Elisabeth That would have been a solid aliance. If there had been another immunity, he probably could have won it for Kucha, and it would have been them in the final 3. Weather you loved him or you hated him, he didn't deserve to go out the way he did.

    I think he was the best member of the kucha tribe cuz he was most responsible! I mean he went and chased a pig for food and you don't see any of the tribe doing anything!I felt bad cuz he had to leave the show earlier and if that wouldn't have happened then he might have atleast made it to the final four or three.

    I love that song about your accident they did on Man Cow Morning Madness Show. It takes alot of character to be able to look at that type of thing and be able to laugh. If you hadn't burned yourself it would have been the Kucha show.

    Now that I know for sure that Michael won't be taking home the million, I must say I am very sad to see him go in the manner that he did. He seemed to be the #1 provider for his tribe and its too bad he had to inhale that smoke and pass out. Well, one thing to come of it for sure is that the entire game has been switched around. The old Kucha tribe might be a lost cause.

    Michael was a little over the top, but I really liked him. He kept his tribe well fed and I know the missed him. It was a horrible accident and I'm glad to see he healed quite well.

    Michael, you did well... it was too bad your stay was shorted thanks to falling into the fire like you did. Kucha, overall, I supported much more than Ogakor, and I'd have liked to see you go into it 6 to 4. I hope you have recovered well from the fire.

    I was so disappointed when Michael was burnt and was unable to continue on in the game. I really think he had a good shot at winning in the end. He was a great team player (not to mention great-looking in my opinion) and I sure miss seeing him on the show.

    Mike is awesome! What a shame that the accident happened...He really could have made it all the way to the end. I agree with brookeg- he was playing the game well like Rich did, and he could have won. He played the game well, and loved every minute of it. He helped his tribe out by providing food, even when they thought that he couldn't. He supported his tribe when they were winning AND losing, and had a sense of humor the whole time. I thought some of the things he said were pretty funny! Anyways, it was a shame to see him go. We'll miss you, Mike! =)

    I think that Michael is very obnoxious, he think's he's all great and stuff just cause he caught a pig. Jenny

    I'm gonna miss seeing Mike on the show. He was always doing something interesting. I believe that his leaving the way he did is going to really influence the next turn of the game. Already strong, Team Kucha will form a tight alliance against the already fragmented Ogakors. Even though they'll be moving in together, the Kucha's have a deeper sense of shared accomplishment and having gone through trouble AS A TEAM. They'll stick together to destroy the Oga's.

    What a Jerk. It's interesting that those who idolize him can't even spell.....

    This guy is psychotic. To go from the "Lord, thank you for making me the leader", to "If we don't eat the chickens now, I won't be important anymore", to chasing down a baby pig, killing it, and rubbing its blood on his face shows a man who believes himself to be the center of the universe, and will kill to maintain his position. It's a game, Michael. His atavistic pleasure in killing the pig leads me to believe that he probably tortured rodents in his youth just for a laugh. (update after the accident: I still stand by what I wrote above, but still felt badly for him having to leave by chopper. He knew that it was his own error that caused his injuries, but I like his pep talk that he gave Kucha. I hope that they rally and pick off Ogakor one by one.)

    What goes arond comes around, and he got his. That sadistic idiot got pleasure from repeatedly stabbing a baby pig. It was the most disturbing thing I've seen on TV, and I saw a clip of it by accident. Was'nt even looking at the show. He is no man & a disgrace to humanity.

    He really was the Kucha leader, after all. It's sad for me to see Michael leave in this manner even though he wasn't my pick to reach the last four. Perhaps he can help Kucha one last time by serving as their rallying point for the rest of the game. It has been an interesting six episodes with him around and I'm sure I'm not the only one with that sentiment. Even Mike-hating Jeff seemed distraught at his exit. "C'est la vie."

    He's a freak with a God-complex. He's finally admitting that he's not the only leader of the tribe, but he is a little to cocky for me.

    Michael ROCKS!!! Nothing like a good down to earth Mid Western attitude to survive not only in the Outback but those other dorks in the tribe. I don't think he'll win the whole thing, but he should be around a while. I just hope he starts the rallying cry to vote off that back stabbing jackass of a human being Jeff when the time comes!

    I am torn on Michael. At first, his arrogance annoyed me..however I could understand his need to be useful to the tribe and he was commited to providing food in order to keep his place in the outback. He doesn't annoy me as much now, and his comments about Kimmi's need to bathe were pretty humorous. It seems he is starting to adjust to life with the tribe and forming some bonds. I guess, in the beginning you are pretty much on your own and he realized he had to make a place for himself in the tribe..he is growing on me.

    Michael is from Michigan, my home state and is not afraid to show that he has some religious beliefs. I also think that he contributes the most to his team.

    Micheal is a badass. Not only did he make a sweet shelter for the tribe, he caught fish, and kicked that pigs ass. Hes the only one on the show that has any idea how to actually survive. He probably wont win the million but he'll get far. Just as long as jerri doesnt win.

    Mike is doing exactly as I would and I can skin a moose with my bear hands! What is wrong with the other tribe members? Get with it people! You need to eat, and you can't get food by lulling about trying to look good.Mike SHOULD be the tribe leader..from one Outbacker to another...you go BOY!!!!

    Michael seems to be diving into the Survivor experience with gusto. You gotta love a guy who brings war paint as his luxury item. I love his plan to hunt a pig, which by tonight's previews turns out to be not such a bad idea. Most of all Michael is willing to do what it takes no matter what. If I was stranded in the boonies I'd want Mike in my tribe.

    Mike is the freakiest survivor ever. I can't wait to see what he kills next week. The others looked truly appalled, so maybe it's not a pig, but a wild dog or a roo.

    I am also from Michigan, where Michael is from and I have heard from people who went to highschool with him that he is very nice and a family man. I really want him to win because he seems to be a very good survivalist so far.

    I believe that Michael is a very helpful member of the tribe. He has proven that he wants to help. He was the one that went out and caught the fish, and made the rice. He just wants to help. Besides what else is there to do? People are just angry because they did not take the bull by the horn. The other members should not be angry that he has tried to be the leader, but should support him, after all they probably wouldn't have had that delicious fish to eat. He also seems to be very supportive of those individuals that are a little behind in the contests for instance Rodger couldn't swim but he was encouraging him to keep going. And when Kimmi couldn't eat the cow brain he hugged her in support. So anyway that is my opinion.

    Mike has taken leadership role quite seriously. Good provider of food, support and encouragement to his tribe. He'll make the merger, no doubt.

    Michael is very knowledgeable in certain areas and can prove to be a great surviver. He seems to have taken the role as the leader for the Kurcha tribe. This guy may give us a run for the money. People keep your eyes on this one.

    I joined a Survivor pool at work, and drew Micheel's name. So, I'm all for him. My opinion is about $5 deep. Are the rest of you in a pool, or do you actually have deep thoughts on these clowns?
