Gary's comment about some of the people wanting to get Steph's autograph after the show was just too funny. Loved Jamie and Bobby Jon laughing out loud at the one. Steph didn't seem to think it was all that amusing, though. I found Steph even more insufferable than usual tonight. Her reaction to being eliminated first at the reward challenge was quite childish...hated the "jealousy" comment to Lydia.

Well with Gary gone, I now hope Rafe wins it all. Up to now, I have been kind of neutral as far as Step is concerned, but after tonight, I hope anyone wins before her, even Judd. Good for Gary in his response to Judd, about his lying at the reward. He tied poor Judd up in knots. I think Gary knew by now that he was going so he did not hesitate to call Judd out. Cindy is one of those players that no one notices until it is too late and then steps up to win the whole thing. Good strategy if it works. I just happen to not like her much so I hope it doesn't. Lydia! Finally, too late, she wakes up and realizes that she is an outsider in her own alliance. Did she really think she was in the "in crowd?" Maybe now she will shake things up a bit. She and Gary are right. Step rules the roost and unles some of the rest step up, she is going to win the whole thing this time.

Dang, Gary's gone? I figured it would happen, but was hoping that group would continue to eat their own. Bummer. Danni's gotta be figuring she's next to go. I really liked Steph last season... But this time, she's really not my favorite player. And I'm kinda hoping Cindy does win it all! (I totally forgot Survivor was on tonight! I've been up since 3:30 am and am exhausted and just sat down to peace and quiet and looked at TV Guide and whoops! Thursday night TV! LOL!)

Am I missing something? Where is everyone tonight? I know it's American Thanksgiving, but this is one lonely board tonight! I agree, Cdbga, re: Steph. Lydia was being completely honest about why she did it. In that game, everyone has to turn on someone. Last year, she was a good sport when she was losing and that's why people liked her. This year, though, she whined when she was losing, and is a "poor sportmanship" (as Judd would say) when she's winning. And I agree, Allietex. I hope Rafe takes it all. I'm surprised Danni voted for Gary. Did she make a deal with Steph? Did Gary tell her to vote for him? Best lines by Judd: "I haven't lied all game. But starting tomorrow I'll be lying." "I'm a bad liar." Following Gary's calling him out: "Okay, I lied that one time. I told you I was a bad liar." And his "alliance" still trusts him? Unlike with BB, I don't mind when the producers use the same challenges each season. Tonight's are always two of my favourites: the first shows alliances and pecking order, and the second uses mental ability more than physical. Overall, a good episode, I think. Who was being voted off wasn't completely obvious.

Steph showed her "ass" tonight. She's a sore loser, and doen't like to be alerted to her flaws. TOO BAD. I hope the rest of her alliance grasped her inequities. OUT.

It's just funny to me when they start to talk about Lydia not deserving to be there. Hello! Stephanie is there for the second time after already losing this game once before. How does she "deserve" to be there? I liked her the first time around, and in the beginning of this season as well, but she's got an attitude now as if it's her game and she's just letting the others play it. I think she must realize by Jamie and Bobby Jon's laughter that she doesn't have any friends on the jury right now. I'm glad Gary made the comment that he did because it was really aimed at her allies. Maybe it'll serve as a wake-up call that they're making fools of themselves by acting like starstruck fans instead of eliminating her as a threat. Iheartkaysar, I didn't expect to see many posts here tonight. Because of Thanksgiving I didn't think there would be new episodes of anything airing tonight. I'm glad my DVR automatically tapes this show and The Apprentice or I wouldn't have thought to tune in. I wonder how many people were thinking the same thing.

Judd manipulated Gary's removal by using "telling lies" as an excuse to bring up the fact that Gary said two of the women didn't belong there. I hope Judd either goes soon or somebody uses that same tactic against him and spills what he has said in confidence. Steph can leave any time now, please. Jamie looked really cute in the jury box. I hope Rafe takes is all.

Both Bobby Jon and Jamie clean up very nicely. I loved Gary's comment about how people will be asking Steph for her autograph when the show is over and how he called Judd out on the carpet for lying about the location of the II Idol. He knew he was toast so why not go out in flames.

Jeff made Judd fess up that he lied about the idol too. I was happy about that. The others didn't seem to realize Judd had done anything like that. I would hate a Judd/Steph alliance to the end. Steph is the one he confides in (he shared his clue with her).

It was a real bummer to come home last night, turn on the tv and find out I had just missed the show. So I would like to know if anyone could give some more details on the challenges?

Sure Grace, let's see... Reward challenge: It was one of those "pecking order" type challenges. Each player had three ceramic pots of corn hanging, Jeff asked them all trivia questions about the Maya, for each right answer they got to break another persons pot, when all 3 of your pots were broken, you were out of the game. In the first round, Danni & Lydia each chose to break Steph's pots (at which point Steph warned them to be careful...). In the second round, Lydia knocked Steph out. Steph was NOT happy about being the first eliminated and said Lydia was just jealous. The elimination order was Steph, Gary, Judd, Danni, Lydia, Rafe. Cindy won the challenge. No actual pecking order revealed this time around. But it did set the stage for Steph to act like a bad sportsmanship. When they got back to camp, she expressed her displeasure about being eliminated first. Lydia just said that she wanted to eat and that she eliminated Steph because Steph has eaten more than anyone else there. Steph claimed that she really hasn't had any more to eat than anyone. And then there was a funny shot where, with her mouth full of food, she told them to let her know when any of them think she's eating too much. Immunity challenge: Jeff told them a story about Maya culture. Then they had go to a number of stations (7), where they put together a puzzle containing a question pertaining to the story. If they got the question right, they got a colored flag (which they had to take to their post before proceeding to the next station). But if they got it wrong, they got a colored stick that they had to take back to the fire before they could go to any other station. The winner was the first person to get their 7th flag back to the post. Rafe edged out Gary to win immunity. Tribal council was pretty good. Jeff asked who was running things at camp. Lydia said Steph, Steph denied it. Jeff asked Gary, who said that some of the others seem to be starstruck by Steph. He says it is not her fault, but that some of them should just get her autograph after the show. Jurors Bobby Jon and Jamie were falling all over each other laughing out loud at that one! Next, Judd claimed he'd never lied in the game, but said he was going to start lying since everyone else was. Gary called him out on the Immunity Idol lie, and Jeff sort of made him admit it. A lot of interesting non-verbal reactions to all this from assorted tribe members. It was a pretty interesting show. CBS's website has the entire episode available for viewing. I guess they figured a lot of people might miss it this week.

I was hoping they would wake and vote out anyone else but Gary. Why keep Steph? Why are they keeping awful Judd in there? And how many times does Rafe have to win immunity before they figure out he's a big threat?

For those who missed it, CBS had the foresight to put the entire episode up on their web site: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor11/encore.shtml (Windows Media Player only, though.)

I kind of wonder if Probst didn't egg Gary on to say what he did? Had Gary stayed quiet and not made a comment either way about Stephany I think Lydia would have been the one to go. I was actually expecting Probst to tell the others who Gary really was after he walked away but he didn't. I think winning has turned Steph into an ugly player, and Judd is now nothing more than a bully.

GO STEPH! All the way to final two, but watch out for Rafe...from last night's show...Rafe will be the one to orchestrate Steph's ousting. She would have been in this place last season if she hadn't been on such a loser tribe. I liked her last season and like her this season.

John...I think Gary was toast either way. Steph and her clan don't see Lydia as a threat (has she won anything???), so they were determined to get Gary out of there. He would have been history the previous two weeks if he hadn't found the second immunity and if Jamie had kept his trap shut. Gotta' agree w/you Nick -- I think Rafe is heading to F2 -- and he'll orchestrate Judd and Steph's demise.

You can't guarantee Rafe the F2, unless you can guarantee HE wins the F3 immunity idol and is the sole vote. Everyone likes Rafe. If he DOESN'T win the F3 immunity, the person who wins would be smart to eliminate him.

I've missed the last few episodes and watching Stephenie last night was very shocking to me. Her reaction to Lydia was very much uncalled for, and even rude. She was being very childish about not winning the reward challenge. It does seem to me that she has been handed alot this season that she "doesn't deserve", not the least of which is being given a second chance in the game. She is the last person who should be talking about deserving any rewards. Just my .

Good for Lydia for going for reward. She deserves it as much as anyone else. Too bad Steph didn't like being eliminated, that's just part of the game. I really liked tribal council and liked Bobby Jon & Jamie's reaction about Steph. Bobby Jon sure looked cute with that big bright smile.

I finally watched last night's show, and have a couple of comments... The expression on Rafe's and Cindy's faces when they realized Judd had lied about the location of the mini II, and then their faces when he admitted he lied. Priceless! Rafe's been winning the challenges that matter. The immunity challenges. D'ya think anyone is gonna figure out he's really a pretty decent threat? Cindy, too, is a good competitor. She's only won the reward challenge, but she's come close to winning quite a few challenges. Like the immunity challenge last week, and she wasn't too far off this week. Steph is probably gonna make it to F2 now, based on the reaction of Bobby Jon and Jamie on the jury. I don't think anyone wants her to win, and whoever wins the final immunity challenge will bring her along to ensure they win. It might be hard to win against most of the others. Except for Judd (who I think is an arse), unless they all decide he "played a good game". Poor Lydia. I don't blame her for trying to get out the strong player(s). I do blame Stephenie for her really childish behavior. It's a game. She admitted you were strong. She admitted she was starving (and she really hasn't eaten much if you look at that one challenge where it went from stuffed to starving). So Stephenie pulls the poor sportsmanship card out and calls out Lydia. I'm kind hoping Rafe and Cindy realize how unlikable Judd and Steph have been acting, and decide to jump sides and join Danni and Lydia. They'll be four strong and can get rid of J/S pretty quickly. I think they may want to see a more "fair" fight towards the end. Well, OK, that's what I'm hoping for!

Eeyore -- I only WISH I could guarantee Rafe a F2! Costa -- Suppose you could "wish" that F4 w/out Judd and Steph, too? That would be fun -- no one who is "nasty" in the F4 (although I think Lydia would be booted quickly). Cindy seems determined to prove she's "trustworthy" to Steph and Judd, but it will be extremely interesting to see if Rafe and Cindy confront Judd on his lies. I'm guessing they won't -- but they WILL talk about it between themselves. Could hurt Judd a lot if the four of them are able to boot Danni and Lydia -- he'd have to win immunity to make it out of fourth place. Yup -- I'm really enjoying this! Danni could win a few immunities (as could Rafe or Cindy) and put all sorts of kinks in all sorts of plans. Hee,hee,hee! ;)

I guess the only ones I'd like to see win now are Rafe, Danni or Lydia. I don't care for Judd at all and Stephenie is sure pushing it. I can't believe she couldn't understand how Lydia would want to eat. She had just been at that big reward with the other 3 where they had lots to eat. Her reaction was ridiculous.

When Lydia was eating that cup of soup made from what was virtually garbage, I wondered at the reaction by someone who thought Lydia was doing it only to make them feel guilty. If the shoe fits...... Maybe she should feel guilty, although nobody except Danni and Gary looked like they were starving or losing weight. I guess the producers are not making a big deal out of them finding their own food and just giving them corn to eat and they can fill in the cracks with fish.
