Spear, Good find and I think you're right about it being different when the previous votes were used as a tiebreaker. Lots of mystery about who had how many votes. I guess that could help deter ties, if people were not exactly sure about how many votes they had. I hated the previous votes tiebreaker more than the purple rock. Head-to-head competition between all the tied people is my preference. Q&A works well, but I like the fire starting. After many days on the island they all should be able to build a fire.

I prefer the head-to-head tiebreakers, too. The funny thing about the fire-starting tiebreaker, though, is that Jenn revealed in an interview that the one against Ian in S10 originally required them to use flint. However, both of them could not start a fire after a long time so they had to redo the competition to use matches.

Ahhh HAAAH! I just knew there were too many people saying the same. Think I will make a special Quack Call to tell my Sis she stands correct. Thanks also Spear for the addl info! Interesting point about Ian and the fire starting too! But after reading your discussions, I can see why Survivor would chose to withhold the vote and creatively help the process along. If he makes it to F2, should Terry come up against any in the Terrible Threesome, (if they knew the 3 were solely responsible for their own bootee demise) all those evictees wouldn't think twice - just vote their former backstabbing pals out of the $1mil. This way it leaves them somewhat guessing. Fascinating! Thanx!

Yes Misspoufy, thanks for fleshing out my one sentence of the Johnny Foulplay vs. Rupert bad juju. It's too bad Terry is up against those odds but he's not whining. He's playing fair & square like a survivor. I watch these gigs and it comes down to asking myself: if I was there, who would I want watching my back?

"Seem to be drawn at random" Yes, they hope we think that, but I think they are checked in advance and then drawn on camera for the greatest possible effect. I don't fault them for that, because with out the clever editing it would be a big yawn. Cut out the boring stuff and just show me the drama. They know what they are doing at all times.

Me again I just heard that Shane will be on Regis & Kelly tomorrow morning. I guess it will be live. If anyone is likely to let secrets slip....it would be Shane.

I may be in the minority here, but I hope Terry wins. I usually prefer a mental game (like Danni of last season), but Terry has been left with no choice but to play a physical game, and he has dominated. I know people talk about his lack of social skills, but he's been in a very hostile environment. And, I completely understood what he meant last week when justifying his choices regarding the loved ones. He maybe said it too harshly, but his logic was sound. I'd love to see it come down to Aras and Terry.

I am pulling for Terry also. For awhile I was divided between Cirie and Terry, but I have found myself leaning more to Terry. I just admire the way he won't give up. You know, the challenges have been physical, but I don't think he is that much stronger than Aras, I think it is more just a mental toughness, a refusual to give up. I also have to admire the way he has not become bitter about the way he has been treated. Let's face it, the others have been downright hostile, sometimes almost cruel. Once his teammates were gone, they almost treated him like he was a non-entity. Nothing he does is acceptable to them. In a commercial for this week he says something to the effect "I have had to go over a line where I did not want to be." I wonder what he means?

If I was Cirie I would be all about turning my back on my tribemates - I would harken back to the days when I was going to get eliminated "just because I didn't fit into their plan." This would be where I would just stick it to them in a BIG way! I can't believe she's stick with these people who were so obnoxious to her not that long ago.

I'm hoping it's Terry and Cirie in the final two, and I'd be satisfied with either one winning. Both overcame incredible odds to get this far. At different points, I would have bet money that neither one would make it this far, but they've proved me wrong. Each in their own way, they've fought hard to stay.

Yacky, that's a very good point. We don't see all the discussion in TC, and we may not see all the votes/reactions. That said...what would be the POINT of the producers editing it out as gratuitous, when they show it to us anyways after the show (online)?

Allietex, that was Aras that said the line about going over the line, not Terry.
