I agree. I think Twila and Scout have a firm alliance and once the men are gone, they will refocus and realign. I think this is a good strategy but it doesn't mean that they won't have mixed feelings about voting off some of the tribemates that they like. Sounds like Twila is going to get an earful from Sarge following Rory's elimination.

Over on the 10-28 Spoiler thread, Jan said: PS John said in half an hour of trying, Chris never made it over the balance beam on that first show. It was so bad that John would not be surprised if it was part of Chris's game playing to make him seem totally a non threat! Did you notice in the IC challenge last night, that he did not have any problems crossing the balance beam to get the flags?

This weeks "balance beem" looked to be a little wider, like maybe a 2x6 or 2x8, while the one Chris really had trouble with looked more like a 4x4.

I really like Ami and last night for the first time we heard a homophobic tone to the comments against her when Rory went to the other men to tell them she had to go first. The men think they have Twila fooled and in their hands and I think they went a bit too far when she tried to be part of their team.. and it backfired on them. I don't dislike Rory so much and he does work hard and he can compete hard, but he tends to whine and he certainly thought he was fooling the women but planned all along to go back with the men. His "this is personal" when he voted makes me happy he won't be on the jury. Now, like Pamy, I also was a Nicole fan on BB so maybe that is part of my "like".. Scout may not always win the comps for a team but remember when they were shooting with the slinghots.. I know that Rory was labelled the champion and he probably was, but Scout did VERY well in that very crucial contest as well. As for the guys .. they sure looked blindsided that the two women they thought were putty in their hands.. voted Rory out.. but they were the ones who kept those two women when they had chances to eliminate them. And conversely, had Ami gone and Rory stayed, the other women who kept Rory could only thank themselves.. but at least in keeping Rory, they kept a strong player.

Yep I liked Nicole, but not Ami. Rory was too full of himself, and too vocal to last out there.

Why did the women owe Rory anything? They didn't ask for him to be brought to their team. He worked as hard as he did because he needed immunity to survive in the game - he knew he was going to be voted out otherwise...they made no secret of it. He worked as hard as he could to stay in the game but that is simply part of the game. He knew the rules when he signed on to play.

Ami is a demi-god in this game. Scout had the other women convinced to vote out Eliza until Ami said "no way, we're voting out Chris"...and they all fell in line. Ami is the closest thing to Richard Hatch that we've seen since Survivor began. I love her gameplay, and I daresay that she and I would get along in the real world...

I agree Lycanthrope. Her bravado is stimulating. I cannot believe HALF of the things she gets away with saying. As I've said earlier, anyone else being that much of a <I may as well mod myself here> to people would have been voted out right away. She borders on both likeable and dislikeable at the same time. But she's playing these people like a flute (is that the right instrument for the saying?) and she should win because of it.

OOOoooo...my hand was just itching to wipe that smug look off her face tonight. Her power seems to be almost hypnotic -- hmmm....wonder if she's a hynoptist and we just don't know it? Anyway -- I hope the other girls wise up quick and get her rear out of there!

Eeyore...LOL at your self modding! I agree with you and Lycan...she is playing a great game. I think Ami is probably very likeable and nice in person outside of this game. If I ever have time, I'm going to watch some of that internet show that Hatch hosts. I'd like to hear what he thinks of her gameplay. I loved how Jeff mentioned the smug look on Ami's face! I do like her, but that was great tv!

Hatch said today that he thinks she is playing an excellent game and the women are "Stupid" (ie at gameplaying not in intelligence) to allow her to get away with it. He thinks Twila cannot make a decision to save her life and that last night they should have taken a chance of a tie vote and a stone draw just to change up the alliance. He believes 100% that, bar an immunity win, Chris will be evicted next week and Eliza the week after because the women (other than Ami) just don't know how to play the game.

Amber and Rob played the same way. It's obvious that none of these people who are living together 24/7 can see even an inkling of what we see in 1 hour once a week.

I can't stand Ami, but I have to admit that she knows what she's doing...and the crux of it is...none of the guys on the jury can blame her if she makes the final two. Ami has let everybody else do the dirty work. Talk about riding coat tails...she's riding the whole team. Her dominance over the women is so subtle that no wonder the other women can't see it. The other women had their chance...and thanks to Twila...Ami will win this thing. IMHO...unless somebody makes a move quick.

I can't imaging Ami getting enough votes to win it all, but I think many of the others would like to be in the final 2 with her.

Nick, I respectfully disagree with your statement that Ami lets others do her dirty work. I don't agree because she has been honest with people who she felt were being less than honest with her. She called out Bubba TO HIS FACE, and called out Lisa TO HER FACE. She doesn't hide behind anyone, nor does she have "secret" feelings about people. She's right out in the open. Also, it's not like those other people are being BLAMED by Ami for voting people out. I would have to say AMBER is a good example of letting someone else do the dirty work, by letting Boston Rob pi$$ everyone off so they went after him. Everyone there acknowledges Ami's power, and that she's calling the shots out there. There's nothing about her game that says she is afraid to do her own dirty work. She's had a plan, and she's openly stuck to it. Native - At first I agreed with you that these people were MISSING what we were SEEING. However I think it's a matter of editing. I think it is US that is missing the stuff that would show that MAJORITY of the time out there was about the mangonging plan and how they wanted to go with it. I think that the producers SCROUNGED for any footage that could imply a "crack" in the alliance, but the reality was that there's no crack, and even though some characters may have *explored* other avenues, like Scout looking at teaming with the men, I think maybe THAT act could have been a ploy on the women's part, to maybe just tease the men and give them false hope. I don't watch any extra footage, or the internet show with Hatch, so maybe there's information I don't know about, but I think the editing is what is against the viewers.

bah! Ami says her peace and then none of the other women go against her...Ami, since the jury, has not put herself in a position to let herself appear in control. She makes smug faces at TC and it makes us really wonder how much we've missed....Respectfully.
