Reposting my post from the thread I started which will hopefully get deleted!

I'm at a friend's feeding and letting out their dog for them. I should be home before the actual show starts but I miss the previouslys. :-)

Hope those of you in the US are having a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I'm not sure the name of this thread is right -- Not ALL the posters here are from the US, and as far as I'm concerned, Thanksgiving is more than a month gone!

(Canadian hockey teams -- the best I could do, there's no flag icon!)

completely OT...


What about these ones, Padivius? And why did you include Detriot as a Canadian team?

Sounds like rain... night time scenes of volcano. Everyone arriving back at camp. Eliza saying that she really thought she was going home tonight. Tells camera that TC sucks and it's really funny how everyone who conspires against her ends up going while she stays.

Chris telling Eliza and Ami that Scout and Twila came to him and wanted him to vote with Chad and them to get Eliza and Ami out. Leann says she is not sure what to do because it would be smart of Chris to turn the girls against each other.

Leann tells camera that she feels the need to talk about the way things happened at TC. Leann talking with Twila asking about Chris' accusations and Twila confirms that it was the plan but it was all Scout's idea. Leann tells camera that she didn't expect things to start so soon and if they were going to go with that plan they should have stuck with it because now they are screwed.

Reward Challenge... test how much they recall from the last 28 days. Questions about past challenges... 5 questions I think?

Winners will get real-time 1 hour email back-and-forth chat with a satelite and computer they have brought onto the island. Whet their appetite by giving everyone a 1 minute email ... Twila is all choked up and crying. Jeff lets her go first... but she asks if someone else can type. She starts crying and Jeff says, "Awww..."

Hey! They have I-Sight!! It's my computer (only the 15 or 17"). Twila's son is on the camera. They exchange loving words. Twila really crying now.

Leann goes next... not sure who it is, a girl ... friend or sister maybe? Eliza next, sees her mom. Eliza crying now. Eliza's mom yells to the others to be nice to her daughter.

Julie is next - Justin, a good friend. She laughs with her friend and smiles with him.

Scout next to talk to Annie, her partner. Scout crying as Annie tells her that she loves her so much.

Ami next to talk to Chrissie, her friend. They tell each other no crying.

Chris next... talking to his girlfriend, Laurie. They are both crying as they say they love each other. Laurie says they are getting married and Jeff makes her repeat it.

Time for the challenge.

Who broke the most tiles with the sling shot overall? Rory, everyone is right.

Who was the first man to begin assembling his ladder in great escape challenge? Chad, everyone is right.

Who sat out of the challenge where people were paired up to match puzzle pieces? Dolly - All but Twila and Chris got it right.

In 4th IC, identify the four symbols used on the tiles. Volcano, Pig head, coconut tree, skull.

Chris & Twila - 3
Everyone else - 6

Who fell into the water most in the balance challenge? John K. Julie & Eliza are tied at 7

Tiebreaker for Julie & Eliza. In memory game, name the matching pair of items. Person who gets the most wins. Julie is not writing at all, has a blank look on face as Eliza scribbles quickly.

Julie writes nothing down.
Eliza gets it. She wins reward.

Jeff asks if she wants to go have a chat with her mom or if she rathers her mom just comes out and chats with her. Her Mom comes out and they hug and cry.

A twist... it's an overnight chat. Susan, Eliza's mom wills tay overnight with them.

Jeff bringing the others out so everyone can say goodbye to their loved ones. James, Twila's son comes over and hugs her.

Leann hugging Terri (again, have no idea who she is to her). Scout and Annie hugging... Annie tells Scout she looks great. Julie jumps into Justin's arms, they hug. Ami hugs Chrissie, they both cry as they hug. Chris's Laurie runs out and jumps into his arms. Chris whispers that he loves her and he'll be home.

Jeff sends the loved ones out to their boat and sends the tribe back to camp with Susan (E's Mom).

- back -

Day 28. Chris saying he wants to hear about the outside world. Eliza and mom hugging as tribe arrives at camp. Eliza is very excited to share this experience with her mom.

Susan saying that Eliza looks thinner. She tells camera she was really worried about Eliza being out here. She lists everything she was worried about (it's long ... and I missed most of it). Eliza says this could definitely work to her disadvantage, her winning the challenge. She also says it could work to her advantage if they end up liking her mom.

Leann and Ami talking to Scout now and asking her about the plan they heard about and how Twila said it was Scout's plan. Scout saying it was Chad's idea. Both Ami and Leann say that they never promised Scout the final four. Leann then says she promised Julie that she would go to the final four. Scout tells camera that her hackles came up and vegenance will be hers no matter what happens as she'd be on the jury if she's out.

I missed something about passing something on to the other loved ones to remember everyone by but now the boat is arriving. Eliza's mom takes off her shirt and hands it to Eliza because she has nothing with sleeves. She waves as the boat takes off and Ami gives Eliza a hug.

Ami, Twila, and Leann going out to get stuff in the trees. Leann says she wanted to know what Twila would have to say about things. Twila says that people always come talk to her but Ami then says that she always comes back and tells them when the guys came and talked to her but Twila didn't do that. Twila swears, on her son... not sure what she's swearing to?? Oh, that she is with Ami and Leann.

Twila then says something to camera and laughs as she looks up into the sky... not sure what she said there (sorry - she mumbles sometimes).

Oh, also, Leann swore to Twila that she was with her and that's when Twila swore on her son. Ami interrupted and commented that she didn't feel that Leann really felt good about her swear and asked her. Leann admitted she feels guarded about it to both Ami and Twila. that's when Twila mumbled something to the camera about the swear and laughed as she looked at the sky.

Back - Chris telling camera that Julie has been his informant and that she has told him the girl flower power is back and his head is back on the chopping block. Chris predicts that he's going to win immunity (he does this to camera, not to the girls).

Arrival at Immunity Chall. Jeff takes it back from Twila.

They are running the challenge in pairs... with their loved ones. Each pair will have a color. The loved ones will be blind-folded. Other partner will verbally direct the loved one to a bag of puzzle pieces, once they have the bag, they can open it and solve the puzzle for immunity.

They start... they are all shouting at their loved ones where to go... giving them directions. Everyone shouting. Chrissie gets Ami's bag... now Laurie gets Chris' bag, he tells her to go faster.

(They have multiple bags to get.)

Twila's son gets their first bag. Chris' Laurie drops their first bag. Annie & Scout have a bag now. Lots of shouting and frustrations going on... Chrissie and Ami now have second bag.

Laurie & Chris now have a second bag. Laurie now untying third bag. Ami and Chrissie now starting to work on their puzzle.

Scout shouting at Annie ...

Chris and Laurie starting their puzzle now... a race between Ami/Chrissie and Chris/Laurie... Scout and Annie now working on it. Justin/Julie now working on it. Twila/James now working on puzzle.

Ami/Chrissie having trouble with the puzzle as Chris works fast to make up time. Ami/Chrissie getting close... UGH... this is a good one... Ami/Chrissie do it and Ami wins immunity. Twila quickly gives her son a hug. Chris apologizes to Laurie for not winning as he hugs her.

Jeff tells everyone to say their goodbyes, they're all hugging. Chris whispered stuff to Laurie but I missed it... something about tonight. Jeff sends them back to camp.

Day 30. Everyone arriving back at camp. Leann says Ami won immunity challenge and that freed them all up to vote for their original plan - getting Chris out. Leann says that doesn't feel right though, that she can't see Eliza staying and Chris going.

All girls, minus Eliza, go out to talk in a group and Leann says it just doesn't sit right with her for Chris to be going home. Ami says she doesn't like that but she'll go with what Leann wants. They all decide they are going to send Eliza home.

Julie talking to Chris and telling him that he's not going today. She says she'll tell him if it changes but that's what the decision is now. Chris tells camera that he doesn't even do anything and the game changes.

Twila talking to Chris now and she tells him that he can change the game if he just realizes that he holds the key. He's not sure what she means, he asks if he means talking to Scout. She says no. He says her and she says no, he's already talking to her... then he realizes that if he talks to Eliza and tells her what's going on he can get her on his side.... which means, with Twila and Scout's vote Eliza and Chris stay and they can turn this game around on Ami and Leann.

Chris talking to Eliza now but she's not sure because she doesn't trust Scout and Twila. She's afraid they are lying to both of them. Chris just asks her to please take a chance on this....

(Oops, I missed the first question that Jeff asked Eliza about her mom being there and winning the challenge.)

Jeff asking people about their loved ones and doing the challenges... Leann says that she was going to enjoy the challenge once she realized she was going to lose. Jeff says that once again Eliza brought her bag yet again and says she is going to be the girl who cried wolf soon. She says she always finds out she's so close to going each time that she doesn't trust anything.

Jeff asks Chris if there are tensions now and he says yes -- then says something about there always being a sense of something going on and not everyone is agreeing. Twila kinda made a face at this but that could have been my imagination.

Leann voted for Eliza saying it was a group decision.
Ami - Votes for Eliza

Jeff tallying votes...

Eliza: 3
Leann (Leann is surprised!): 4

Ami also making a face at Leann's name appearing on the votes. Eliza looks at Chris...

Leann brings Jeff her torch. She glances back... Ami looks pissed.

Jeff says as the last vote was read, there were some very smug looks and other looks of shock. With 9 days left, this game has just been turned on its head. He sends 'em back to camp.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the looks Sarge and Chad exchanged with each other and Chris when Leann was voted out...

Jeff is right... the game has changed!

Dang... they pulled it off and I'm glad. I didn't like how Ami and Leann were always calling the shots. Reactions to this one should be interesting. Ami should be thanking her lucky stars that she got immunity because she would have been the one to go this time otherwise.

Next time... Ami says it was a really nice move and says they didn't screw her, she's still in the game. Chris comments that the bitterness started the minute they got back to the camp.

Surprises just keep coming (has something to do with a challenge).

Leann says she is just floored. She was fooled, she was fooled big time. Would love to know who voted for her because she is flabbergasted how people can just lie to your face, feels like the world's biggest idiot.

I'm very Thankful that Ami was brought down a few notches this evening...even though she will never admit it.

Oh and Leann...Have you never watched Survivor!?!?!

When will these people ever learn that there will be lies and lies within lies...and Puhleez, you got outplayed...don't stand there on your soap box surprised that you were lied too...for god's sake.

On a lighter note...it was touching tonight to see Twila breakdown the way she did when she seen her son. Only because I didn't think there was a soft bone in that womans body.

I thought the same thing Pamy. I thought it was odd that they didn't say FRIEND like Julie's friend Justin. Maybe they are not out? Or just don't want to be out on national television? I watched the second time around, and I can't think of a reason why they wouldn't say her "relation" to Leanne.

Like you say though, no big deal. Just curious.

I'm glad she's gone though. I haven't ever really liked her, and then when she couldn't swim in that one challenge, I thought she should go.

YAY!!
