Sea: She said that it was because she knew she was likely to give in to temptation and that she knew Tom wouldn't give up so she figured she would get something out of it?

I don't know if I believe that or, as you said, if she just didn't want to appear too strong.

Well that is an interesting end, I thought colby had a better alliance. He must have screwed himself by so obviously talking to Stephanie.

Thanks so much Raen, excellent job!!!!!

Amazing reporting, Raen. I feel like I can skip watching it, as you covered it so well. Thank you.

Next time: Janu reaches her breaking point. A reward to remember and the tribe can't believe their ears. Yikes! Jeff says, "The first person to bail will be abandoned to live on their own."

Coby says it was a wonderful, smart group of people. He says they were very smart to get rid of him. That every single one of them said they got rid of him because he was a threat and that was smart.

I kind of expected it from the way Katie made the remark about the first people jumping off wanting to go home or feeling too secure that they wouldn't go home.

Ok, I'm off to watch The Apprentice now. I'm so addicted to these shows. See everyone next week (I promise!) :-)

Yeah that seems like it is a clue, what Katie said and Coby would have been strong in many of the individual challenges since he does well physically but he has shown his skills at thinking through puzzles under duress, twice.. Janu SHOULD actually be kept longer because she's not a threat. They need to go after Tom, Steph, Jenn, Ian.. and the pair too.. well I guess all but Caryn and Janu in a way. However they haven't had but the one chance to get rid of those who annoy them so they will probably go for Janu instead of strength next time.. We'll see.

THanks SO much, Raen!

I have a class at 7:30 but now I at least I won't be wondering what happened and if Steph was still safe.

By the way, at Curves today.. there were lots of Steph fans!!

There are lots of Steph fans at my Curves too though I was late to work out I didn't see any of them today. I'm sure we'll all be talking about it tomorrow. :-)

I loved the looke on Janu's face. That was classic.

I laughed out loud when everybody jumped in the water for cookies and milk. Felt kinda worried when Steph jumped for the pizza...but I think Tom must have said more to her than we heard...something went on behind the scenes that was never shown.

I think Steph will be around for awhile, much to my delight.

Welcome Back, Raen!

Why was Janu shocked? Because she got one vote?

Thanks, Raen. I'm on the East Coast so I get to see the show, but it's great reading your spoilers, because sometimes I miss stuff.

I'm wondering about the votes. We know about 7 of them. I'm wondering about the other 2 votes.

If they were for Stephenie, then it would seem that Jeff would have read those votes out to create more suspense--"Three votes for Stephenie, three votes for Coby," etc.

Wonder if it was Coby who voted for Janu. LOL.

i was sorry that coby didn't know steph was in the original alliance with tom, et al. also, i wish steph hadn't run right to the others to relay what coby had said to her.
i still hope katie goes soon. she is worthless IMO

Didn't Janu vote for Stephanie? Maybe she wasn't told that they were keeping Stephenie and was really surprized when Coby was gone.

Coby for Janu

Ian for Coby
Tom for Coby

right now, if i didn't know better, i would say to keep katie or janu til the end only to win against them...then i think of jenna morasco's 'do-nothing win' against matt and i'm afraid one of them will win this damn thing!

Really. And Gregg and Jenn should be screaming "Rob and Amber" to them.. not that they are nearly the game players but they need to watch the couple! Coby really handed himself to them.. he was already a big threat in challenges but then he went all pouty and loud on them so he was a clear choice to go.

Those two Palau natives definitely were not skinny. I think there must be a lot of food opportunities in the islands that the survivors haven't figured out.I too think Stephanie jumped to look less strong. Since the last test in the game is an endurance test I think she wanted to make it look like she could be beaten.

Well, it was no shock when Coby was voted out since he was featured so much on the show and that being featured was about him not getting along with the others. I'm disappointed Steph told the others all he said, too. He was spot on about Jenn. He did well at challenges and with him jumping at first chance, I'm thinking he maybe was ready to leave. Odd. He surprised me since at the beginning I didn't think he would do so well. My "fan affair" with Tom is starting to fade. He's really getting too bossy. I'm rooting for Steph.

Tom, Ian and Greg have treated Coby horribly from the beginning. That irritates me. Granted he was not in their original alliance but why not? I believe Tom masterminded the group and is not keen on gay men. I do not like Tom. Nope, not one iota.

Dogdoc There is probably a MacDonalds in town.

I was discussing this with a friend, and my feeling was if you know you're going to go, now's the time to do it. There was no way Coby would win this thing, and I think he knew it -- the people in his "alliance" weren't the strong players, and he couldn't break into the "Cool Kids Clique" no matter how hard he worked.

But now, Coby has made it to the jury. He'll be there when every other jury member shows up to try to influence them. Instead of spending the next 2.5 weeks starving on an island with nothing to do, he gets to spend it sequestered with regular meals and a bed to sleep in. I probably would have done the same thing in his place.

And I am so over Tom as well. The whole fishing thing showed how little respect he has for Coby, someone who was just as strong at challenges as the pretty boys.

I think Coby was indeed a threat, but that's not why they voted him out. He spent alot of time stirring up trouble if the editing is to be believed, and I think they got rid of him because he was alternately pouting and rocking the boat. He was very good at the challenges, and I think he would have had a chance to stay around to the end if he'd fought hard enough, but he seemed ready to go. Or, maybe he just knew they were after him and decided to take control of the situation so getting voted off looked a result of his own machinations. I dunno. I just know he went out of his way to put a target on his own back.

I think Colby put the target on his own back. He purposely pulled Steph aside, made SURE everyone saw him do it, then made snide faces at the others while they watched him conversing with Steph. Colby seemed to think that he was "showing them"...it was all so immature and definitely not good game strategy.

I agree the editing made him appear petty, snotty and petulant. I really didn't like Tom's decision that the 3 guys go fishing and left the bait catching to the "women", but in all fairness Ian did try to get Colby to go fishing with them. Colby chose to take the low road and act all witchy, rather then step up and do what he obviously wanted to do.(go fishing)

I like Colby and admired his game play up until last night.

Watching and Fruitbat!! I'm just as over Tom.. see my post in his section. I think he's quite arrogant, along with Gregg and Ian. Ian's whining that Coby didn't contribute is pure BS.. they'd have likely been to tribal council at least a couple of times without Coby's contributions in immunity challenges. Of course that made him a target now that individual immunity was at hand, but Ian's description of him as doing nothing was far from true. Maybe that made it easier for him to rationalize his vote.

And I agree that Coby in some ways knew the writing was on the wall, especially after he saw Steph go right to the others after she talked to him.
