Since Dan was voting for Austin, Terry should have just voted for Nick. He would have accomplished his same goal without voting for Dan.

Chy - -the previews showed the recap show for next WEDNESDAY night, and then said in THREE WEEKS the new episode would have a medical emergency where someone might be forced from the game.

It's obviously skipping a week, but I have NO idea why (and am rather irritated right now -- Shane is still there AND I have to wait to see him evicted!)

Isn't the NCAA Tournament broadcast on CBS? I'm thinking that it messes with the primetime schedule every year during the month of March.

BTW, thanks for the spoilers! It drives my dh nuts that I know ahead of time but I just can't resist!

shane will probably be the emergency. a psychiatric emergency. for some reason, his face sometimes reminds me of charles manson.

Wasn't it a bit foolish for Terry to say he made a managerial decision? Isn't that just about the same as wearing a big sign saying "head honcho" around your neck?

Knowing that the merge is approaching, it might not have been in anyone's best interest to vote out the weaker member. This is the time when you want to get rid of the strong ones. Is that immunity idol Terry's holding good for all tribal councils, or just one?

Maybe someone "accidentally" chucks a coconut at his head???? Slips with the machete while chopping coconuts???? Trips and traps his head under their flood of water????

Seriously -- I hope it isn't anything serious. They aren't building it up to be like Mike's fall in the fire, but stretchers can't be be "good" either. Guess we'll wait almost a month to find out!

to me it looked like a girl's legs. maybe courtney?
the idol is good for one time. so why didn't terry get together with dan to vote one of the others out? if things had backfired, and HE was out, he could have pulled the idol and the younger guy with 2 VOTES would have gone home. i don't like it when one person puts themself as top dog and 'manager'. that would clue me in to find a way to get them out. only i'd have someone else take care of it, so that I didn't seem like the new head!

Terry turned on his friend Dan...So much for loyalty. He is now on my list of people to go...

i agree, jenny. how sad. it really bothers me how people go to someone else on here and feel they are stand-up citizens because they are man/woman enough to tell someone they are going to be voted out. to me, what they are saying is, "i am not man/woman enough to keep my word/alliance".the alliance is not "please be kind enough to tell me when you are going to vote me out", it's "we are in it until we are down to so many and then it's every man for himself". it's too bad the others didn't go with dan and get terry out. there were plenty of other scenarios and i really feel that dan DID fall on the sword for the others. and it didn't have to be that way...
i hope they merge soon and terry is in loser lodge. he can only use the idol once...

I think Terry had to be realistic and throwing things into a tie would put a target on his back.

Uh.. but actually I thought I was in the AI thread, so I'll go there to say what I was going to say

Oh but I thought Dan's FAMILY was adorable!!! Too funny about the robot.

Ok I just seen this at the CBS web site and had to post it.. its Shane's Bio....

"Shane Powers was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska. After finishing high school, Powers moved to Los Angeles.

In 1999, Powers and two business partners established a boutique specialty marketing company with the goal of effectively branding products. On the side, Powers makes time to coach his son's football team. Previous employment included work as a club promoter and restaurant manager.

Powers describes himself as witty, outgoing and funny. His most important accomplishment, still in progress, is raising his son. His hobbies include basketball, softball, writing and frequenting bookstores.

Powers believes he can be the Sole Survivor because of his unmatched communication skills. He believes he is also a physical threat and has the ability to manipulate people and not have them be resentful. If he wins, he wants to buy some real equipment and a great field for his son's football team.

Powers currently resides in Los Angeles under the watchful eye of his son, Boston. His birth date is November 28, 1970"

I was rofl when I read " Powers believes he can be the Sole Survivor because of his unmatched communication skills. He believes he is also a physical threat and has the ability to manipulate people and not have them be resentful..."
Just makes me wonder , because of that statement, if all he is smoking is tobacco??

I don't think it is him but I'm flashing to that dad on Sports Kids Moms and Dads who lived through his son's football "career".

It sure confirms that Shane's son means the world to him, which explains why he takes swearing on his son so seriously (although it creeps me out when people swear on the lives of other people). However, the part Surfgirl put in bold letters shows a severe lack of self-awareness, unless Shane is playing a role for "good TV" like so many before him. Then again, it was written before he gave up cigarettes. Can nicotine withdrawal change a personality that much?

I think that nicotine withdrawls can make you crabby and it can definately cause headaches and a slowdown in body function (the biggest complaint a friend of mine had was constipation! LOL! I told her to quit eating like she smoked, one after another!)

Curlyq asks: "Can nicotine withdrawal change a personality that much?"

YES!!! Absolutely! When hubby and I quit smoking a little over 2 years ago I was told I was the rudest person in the world, and you'd have SWORN he was a mass murderer! LOL Nicotine is just as addictive as cocaine and just as tough to kick. Once you're over the "hump" tho it gets easier each day. Two years later there are STILL times we both wish for a cigarette, but both of us are so thankful we do not smoke anymore, and neither of us can stand to be around someone who does smoke anymore...the stench is horrible and it sickens us to think WE used to smell like that!

No mention of some long suffering woman in Shane's life. She must have headed for the hills.

Anyone notice how much better the people looked in the village than our people. I doubt the tobacco ads are lining up to grab those shots of Shane smoking.

He had been nicotine free for 15 days, I thought the withdrawal from the actual drug was 5-9 days, I think he set himself back by putting the nicotine back into his system

Interesting to note that when Shane gives his word to an ally, it means everything, and when Terry gives his word to an ally, it means nothing.

Misspoufy, you said it!

The physical withdrawal is 72 hours. Shane had made it through that and now has to start over. The psychological withdrawal, while it does get less intensive, can last forever.

I quit smoking almost 14 months ago through hypnosis and it was the best money I ever spent, especially with the nightmare that began about 2 weeks after I quit. I, too, have become very sensitive to the smell. And there are still moments when I think it would be nice to have just one.

I admire Terry for going to Dan and telling him what would happen. We know from past seasons that the contestants do not like ties and do everything they can to avoid them. And since the other two guys were so ga-ga over Dan being a real-life astronaut, Terry may have been a tad bit insecure. He wants to save that idol until after the merge. He's still my favorite and even more so now.
