Does anyone else here think Ami has an attitude problem? She seems to also need to control everything. I'm starting not to like her very much.

ITA, Baylex...I liked Ami at first because of her attitude (I think I even posted here somewhere that I thought she'd go to the end) but her attitude has become arrogance and control. I was starting to get turned off by it a couple of weeks ago, but that whole "swear on a Bible" thing with Lisa last week got on my last working nerve. Yeah, I know Scout was there too, but it was Ami instigating.

Yes, I have a problem with players like Ami so maybe I'm the one with the attitute (lol) but she is so damn cocky and always seems to be smirking. I'm not a big fan of Scout's either, just a feeling.

Well, I'm not a Scout fan, but I love Ami. If she's controlling the game, then that's because the others are letting her control it. She's got the intelligence and personality to pull it off, I think.

Since the guys didn't vote off a woman this week, I think the final four will be all women this time around. My guess is they will be Ami, Twila, Scout, and LeeAnn.

I'm not sold on Ami (used to like her but certainly not lately) but I love Scout. I hope she wins it all!! But she has no chance. She can't win immunity so I think she will be kept around as someone easy to defeat right up to the end. But no one will take her to final 2 as they will assume they can't beat her in front of the jury IMHO :-)

Potted plant, I agree with you and I love your name. That's what I feel like because I sit so long at my computer- a potted plant. lol

I love Scout, but I'd be afraid of Ami. She reminds me of all those big, tough girls who used to bully me in PE in high school, me being short and skinny (at that time) and totally unathletic. I transferred to the library as soon as I could, & I still love books.

Me too Cat and yes, Ami does remind one of those girls in gym class. Bad memories.

Used to like Ami, then with Travis and Lisa, she lost me.
Maybe Travis did something dumb (I think he did) but she didn't have to call him out in front of everybody. I think that was rude. If she wanted to vote him out, get in touch with her alliance and get him voted out, point à la ligne!
And Lisa didn't even do ANYTHING wrong!
I still don't really want Ami gone right now (there's others I could stand to see leave first) but I don't want her to win anymore.

You guys can disrespect Ami all you want, but she is a Power Player in this version of Survivor. I may be the only person on this board who likes her, but you all must respect her. She's a goddess on Vanuatu...she has the power.

And Lisa did do something wrong. She intimated that Ami might be evicted next. This made Ami question her loyalty. The fact that Ami was able to get Lisa out is a testament of how much power Ami has gathered in the game. She's ballsy and honest, rare qualities in any human. She is my favorite for the rest of the season.

ROFL Pamy!! I like Ami too. She's seemed a bit irritable the last couple of shows, but oh well, she was my early favorite and I'm not giving up on her yet. :-)

I like Ami too and I like the fact that she is an "in your face" kind of player, despite the fact that it will probably get her the torch walk. She told Lisa straight to her face that she suspected her - most other players would have snuck around behind her back and whispered to get her out.

Ami is honest, loyal and ruthless. She is definitely playing the game. But, because of her "in your face" attitude, if the men outweigh the women after the merge, I can't see her staying much longer.

Lycanthrope: Lisa didn't do anything wrong. She said "I'd like to go, in case..." at which point Ami cut her off. "In case" is a VERY ambiguous structure. She could have meant "in case you are unable to go one time" or "in case I'm asked to go" or "in case there's a tribal switch and I have to know where the mannioc is" or anything else following those words. Ami should not have jumped to conclusions regarding these TWO WORDS, particularly from someone in her alliance, whom she should trust at least a little bit more than others who are not in her alliance.

Lisa also could have meant "in case you (Ami) are gone" but not in a negative way. The fact of the matter is, of the 18 people, 16 will eventually be gone, whether or not they were in your alliance. Just because Lisa suggested Ami might be gone doesn't mean she was against Ami in any way. It was because, for crying out loud, this is a game where people are eliminated every few days and Ami might go at any time!

I still LIKE Ami, there are just a couple of her actions that have rubbed me the wrong way.

I don't really like Ami's attitude either. She's really snippy and does seem to want to control others.

She and Rory have no love lost between them. If this week is individual and the teams merge, I don't doubt for one minute Rory will do everything he can to get her booted.

Sorry, Pad, I'm with Lycan on this one. Lisa very clearly said "in case" as in "in case you are not here next week I'll know where the manioc is". And didn't really cover it up, so Ami knew she meant "in case you are gone." And if that had been me, yeah, I'd have gone on the offensive, too. Cause at that point, there were several others who could've gone first (including Rory). So "just in case" sounds like "I'm gonna evict you tonight."

I still like Ami, although I think her ego is gonna be her downfall. But she is a ballsy woman, and she's (brutally) honest. I think you know where you are with her.

WRT Scout... nope, unh unh. Don't get it. Token older female. She brings nothing to table AFAIC. Yeah, she has a soothing presence, but she can't compete.

Baylex, I'm with you. It was bad enough watching the other women circled around her with the paint, but when they showed her sitting there at TC with that arrogant smile on her face, it was too much. I tried to reach through the screen and wipe it off, but only hurt my hand.

Native, the thought that went through my mind when they showed the other women circled around her was - Queen Bee. They were worshiping her and she was petting them on the head. What the heck does she have that makes them fawn over her like that? I sure don't see it!

Personal charisma doesn't always translate well over television - not to mention that we're not seeing what goes on the other 99 percent of the time. I think she has a very strong personality and by propping up the other women with encouragement and kind words has placed herself in the seat of power over the entire tribe.

My problem with Rory getting voted out last night was that the woman should be ashamed of themselves...this is a man that came to their tribe and worked his butt off. He worked in camp and did everything he could to win all the comps. They should have a least respected him with that little token.

Gen, Queen Bee was the term I thought of also.

Maybe it's because I'm much more of a take charge person than a follower that I don't understand the hero worship. And life, be it right or wrong, has taught me that the more charismatic a person is, the less honest and more vicious that person might be. Yeah, I know it's a game, but I'm taking comfort in the fact that very seldom does the obvious leader win this game.

I wonder how many players of any of these games sit and watch what is said in the private diaries, behind their backs and at elimination and just go nuts for not seeing what was happening.

I think it was a good move on their part to vote out Rory. They want to get the men out before they have to start voting each other off. This is a game. You can still treat people decently and with respect and vote them off w/o it being mean or disrespectful. Rory's parting remarks to Ami were flat out disrespectful. He said he didn't respect her and this vote was personal. The main thing to keep in mind is winning the game, not making friends or keeping people because they are nice or because you feel you owe them for working hard. If it is to your advantage in the game to keep a hard worker, then keep him because of that. Strategy should be the only concern. The women could not vote out Sarge because he had immunity. I think they thought that Rory was more of a threat to win future immunity challenges. He did work very hard in all or most of those physical challenges. He was a threat that they needed to get rid of. I think Chris is a threat too and that he threw the competition. Because of that, the women probably did not see him as threatening to them as they saw Rory. Chad also does well in the physical challenges. If the women saw Chris, Chad, and Rory as equal threats to them in the challenges, then they will vote off the one they like the least. That would definitely be Rory. I am proud of Twila and Julie for sticking with the women. Sticking with the men would not have given them as much of a chance to get farther in the game.
