During Episode 7 when Rory almost single-handedly won the Immunity Challenge....he went on and on about AMY being on his "hit list" next. I couldn't understand what he was saying. Was he ANGRY at Amy? Or was there something he perceived Amy as doing to him? Or did he mean that Amy was his biggest threat? I didn't hear exactly what he said, and I can't find a transcript anywhere. Does anyone remember what he said? Could you tell me?

You know, I wondered the same. It came shortly after the sling-shot IC challenge, giving the impression that Ami might have deliberately shot his target to get him out of the game but Ami wasn't THAT good of a shot. So it didn't make sense. Frankly, now I wonder if it was just an editing thing, time (fwd/backwd) makes for confusion. I've been curious too. quote from CBS.com, Ep 7: IT'S A WOMAN THING Having been on the Yasur chopping block since he joined the tribe, Rory Freeman, the 35-year-old housing case manager from Des Moines, Iowa, once again found himself begging for his life. While away from camp, Ami Cusack, the 31-year-old barista/model from Lakewood, Colorado, and Leann Slaby, the 35-year-old research assistant from Kansasville, Wisconsin, informed Rory that no woman's alliance has ever made it through SURVIVOR, thus his days within the tribe were numbered. Feeling much more worthy than Eliza Orlins, the 21-year-old pre-law student from Syracuse, New York, Rory did not like what he heard. "I've decided that I will go into self-destruct mode," he threatened. "I'm going to institute a slash, burn and salt the earth policy. If I get voted off this island, the Yasur tribe will burn." I think Rory's going to blow himself off this island, no need for the volcanos or earthquakes. (Bet Rory's Wife knows it too, IMO)

I think that Rory was shooting off his mouth thinking that his value had gone up a lot higher because of his success in the immunity contest. His target is Ami because she has the power in the women's tribe and because he had gone to her and begged for her to get rid of Eliza instead of him and she flat out told him that wasn't going to happen because of the women's alliance. His huge ego is now deflated because he feels like he is a victim of poor timing of the tribal switch. I am so sick of Rory's victim statements...have you noticed how he specifically uses words that make him look like he's a victim? I think he chooses his language very carefully for effect. By the way, I also think he is going to run back to the men ASAP and I don't think they want him any more than the women do...I think if the men had stayed together he would have been the next to go after John.

Roxip, the one thing I do remember him saying was when he said something like he wasn't going to be a slave around there, doing all the work, etc. The word "slave" stuck out to me at the time. But then I thought I read too much into it...

No, and although to my shame since I brought this up I can't quote his specific line that is not the only one that he has made in this vein...I seem to recall something about shackles too. He is trying to play the women to make them keep him and he gets mouthy when it doesn't work. I really think he doesn't respect their intelligence and their ability to read other people.

Rory got mad at Ami because she would not promise him anything and he knows what power she has, so he wants to get her before she get him. I can't see it happening. The game is still a battle of the sexes and both sexes know it. For now, they have to find any means possible to stay in the game so that when the merge comes one sex can outnumber the other.

Totally agree with Caycay,Roxip and Biscottiii.First,Rory's only salvation pre merge is that Yasur continue to win IC.If they lose ..he will be gone.If he makes it to merge he will still be the outlaw because the men will need him only to have a numerical advantage against the women.Once that advantage is established he will be gone first of the males.I was pleased his wife sent the message for him to keep his temper in check and not do the dumn thing that would further alienate him from the game.We know where the intelligence is in that family...lol..lol

Well he's gone and not on the jury.. and I'm happy about that.. And after all his demands that he be kept by the women.. he did run back to the men and immediately targetted Ami and stressed her touching the other women.. sounds a wee bit like he was trying to stir up some homophobia too.. not just in the men but in Twila, like perhaps suggesting that Ami was seducing the other women and I suspect Twila wants no part of anyone thinking she might be a lesbian.. (or maybe it is jusst too close to home and I'm reading into it.. it was the first time I had seen that brought up this season) Anyway Rory is gone and I hope some of the other men go, one two three..

Great point Seamonkey! ITA, glad Rory's not going to be on the jury. I kept wanting to like him, but the endless whining "I'm a victim here" just didn't cut it for me. I was impressed by his final words but maybe he was still just 'word playing'. It did seem to me like Rory was kind of also pushing a homophobic agenda - guaranteeing that he was to be the goner. People do like Scout & they're afraid of Amy, in my perception. One thing though....Twila may have switched back to the women's alliance but I keep getting the sense that she's playing everyone. Neither Twila or Julie had any loyalties to Rory. There were only 2 people they hadn't had as teammates. Bubba was gone and Rory had never been on either team where Julie/Twila had been. So she showed no disloyalties in voting for Rory - just wasn't allowing the menfolk to direct her vote. Back when she was on the women's team, the young women's alliance had tried to dump Twila (instead Mia left). I hope that maybe Twila could/would play both sides of the fence. A lot depends, too, on how the men treat her next episode, but they may feel betrayed and act like bulls in the china shop.

I think Twila remembers when Julie was with Mia and Mia HATED Twila..... I also agree totally with you Biscottiii that Twila betrayed NO ONE by voting out Rory...She TRIED to tell Sarge and Chris that she wanted Rory gone first....but they kept insisting that she listen to them and do what THEY wanted. Why should she??? Her opinion is as important as theirs...and SHE has the numbers. They needed to give Twila a little more respect. She finally gave up arguing, I think, but still did what she felt was right for HER...I agree with Twila's decision I also think Twila will stick with Sarge and the boys now, and if possible, bring Scout into their alliance. Then they can vote off the "young ones". I hope Ami, Eliaza and Julie go next...The I wouldn't mind WHO won!

I'm just real glad Rory's run his mouth off for the last time. I was gettin' real tired of his constant bashing and negativity. He was an angry man, and I'm glad to see him gone!
