I agree to a point Costacat *grins*... But I sure couldn't see any tribemember putting their heart and soul into winning a Reward Challenge if the reward turns out to be steamed veggies and brown rice!!!!

LOL Kep! I was thinking that when I saw the reward. Still... a strange combo... wings and champagne! (Can't make bellinis with wings! <wink>)

This is the worst Survivor season yet. The men were stupid voting off the strongest first. Of course, that has been a strategy we've seen in past seasons, and we end up with fairly insipid winners. I wonder if future survivors will learn a lesson from this. Probably not. And the Women? What an unlikeable bunch. I keep asking myself why I keep watching. Must be some strain of masochism.

i don't have anyone left to root for with chad gone. he was my favorite to win. i would have shifted to scout but when i saw she, too, had voted against chad, i decided i don't want her to win, either!
i could care less about anyone left.
that twila. what a willy-nilly follower she is. she commits to everyone and no one.
when i saw leann's face when scout said to vote out eliza, i knew leann would tell eliza and that would all change. i wouldn't plan so far ahead....like maybe on the way to the council would be soon enough! no one keeps their alliances.
i really did not like chris at all the first few episodes, but i detest all the gals, so if someone has to win, i guess i would hope for chris.
maybe they'll do a twist and bring chad back!!

I was disappointed that Twila didn't vote for Eliza because it's for sure if Eliza had the opportunity to vote Twila or Scout off she would do it in a heartbeat. (or if Ami told her to)
It was the tie Twila was scared to death of and I wonder why since she was the one wearing the immunity necklace.


I am also disappointed that Julie and Twila are not allies after being together in the male tribe.

Ami must be very good at persuading women to her way of thinking. A real charmer you might say.

I can picture it now...Ami will take whichever woman she wants to the final two unless a couple of these witless people band together against her.
Geez! Is Scout the only one that thinks she is a threat, or maybe she's the only one with enough nerve to say it out loud.
Well, Chris knows how big a threat Ami is but his days are numbered too.

I want a surprise ending. One without Ami.

I was put off by Chad talking about how he could tramp on coral with his artificial leg. Coral is fragile and an important part of the ecosystem. It is protected by law.

That's how Sandra won, remember? She would say anything and everything to keep herself in the game just one more day. Worked for her.
I kind of like Twila ever since she was ostracized by the other women and was able to rise above it, even though you could tell it hurt her feelings. Wasn't she great on that pole this week?

I agree, Catfat. I thought some of the other women looked down on Twila, that she was several steps below them. She appears to be a woman who has had to worked hard all her life, while some of these women have had everything handed to them. I'd rather have Twila as a friend over any of those women. I've wondered for several weeks now if Twila isn't following Sandra's strategy of playing it a day at a time.

for me sandra won day one when she spoke spanish and traded her gold necklace for the bbq food, including the aluminum foil! (the same day i fell in like with rupert when he stole the other tribes' shoes!) i don't remember sandra being so willy-nilly as twila--at least not as vocally. i liked twila a lot at the beginning, much less so now.
a large group of the women are pretty much interchangeable for me. i hope we get a more varied group next time and DO NOT DIVIDE THEM BY SEX (OR AGE, or anything, intentionally) INITIALLY!! just draw buffs out of a large can and go with that team.

Wow did Twila ever redeem herself tonight. I think she finally woke up and realized how far down the totem pole of the women's alliance she is. I loved how she led Chris into realizing that he could change the game and save himself by bringing Eliza into an alliance. She probably knew Eliza would not trust Scout and herself but Chris might be able to convince her and it worked.

Twila and Scout did well last night. They together with Chris managed to oust one of Ami's inner group. Ahhh it wiped the smirk off Ami's face. And the jury...Sarge and Chad were certainly surprised and pleased.
lol.gif

Next week we will see if Ami can still stay on top and if Scout and Twila will stick with Chris or vote him out before they kick Ami off.

Did any of you notice the surprised look on Julie's face? For being Chris' "snitch", she sure as heck was left out of that loop. I don't think she was too pleased either. Honestly, I thought it was pretty crummy of Chris, too. She was obviously helping him out, and yet he (basically) just screwed her. I'm sure she won't vote for him if she ends up on the jury and he ends up in the F2.

He knew that if he told her that she'd go back to her buds. He knows where her alliance was. I don't blame him for not telling her.

Can someone tell me when the final show will be? You'd think I'd know how to figure it out by now, but I don't! Help!

Final show is Sunday 12/12 and is 2 hours long. It is immediately followed by a 1 hour reunion show. So, 8-11 Eastern and 7-10 Central time and whatever your prime time 3 hours is in the other timezones.

Omigosh, thanks for letting me know! A group of friends always have a party for the finale and we haven't even talked about it yet! It's amazing how fast it goes after they get down to F6!

I am preparing our regular Survivor party now, so I will be ready when all the fun starts tonight. Just DH and DS and I, but I make all our favourite appetizers and finger foods, so we eat while we watch. Have fun, everyone!!

Yeah that is interesting.. this season seemed to really stress pushing your body up, over, around or under various devices and lots of balancing thrown in. Oh yes and knots, lots of knots.

I wonder if Vanuatan diet doesn't include anything particularly gross.. usually each season the gross food was something actually considered a delicacy by the indiginous people (the fafaru, the blood, etc.) I didn't miss the gross challenges but they did seem to limit themselves this time.
