Actually, given that at some point or another Jonathan was seriously considered as the next person to go, if he makes it to F2 he could possibly get the votes. Who knows.

I loved all the misspellings of Yul's name. LOL By Jonathan flipping, he let Yul KEEP the idol, which I think could come back to bite him. By not flipping, he could have kept the white people happy with him, and the result would have been the same.

Awesome episode! My heart was pounding when Jeff was reading aloud the votes. I am glad that Aitu wants to stay true to one another. Ugh! Adam is such a meathead. The way he was touchy with Parvati and then is kissing Candice. Go Yul, Ozzy, Becky and Sundra! =D

Eeyores, I agree. Jonathan flipping did nothing to improve his chances, just Yul's. All Jonathan had to do was lie to Yul and vote for Yul, forcing him to play the idol. At that point, it's 4 to 4 and Jonathan's got a stronger alliance with the white folks. He's now alienated everyone, and he'll be the first gone if the Aitu alliance makes the final 5.

As much as I hated to see Nate go, and probably one of the few that thinks Jonathan did the right thing. I mean it may not have been the best thing for him, but it was the right thing to do for Yul and Aitu. He knows now his only hope is to stay with Aitu and that gives them the numbers. The sooner they get rid of Betty, Veronica and Jughead...the better.

Y'know, I'm not so sure that's such a good strategy of Yul's... to tell everyone he has the idol. It's a bit smug of him. And could come back to backfire on him, especially if he's using it to blackmail folks. All they have to do is gang up against him, and he'll have to use it. Then there will be a sacrifice victim, and the next time, Yul is gone. (I haven't seen the episode yet, but it seems smug to me, Yul's telling everyone he has the idol.) Jonathan isn't playing a smart game, is he Ly? Am actually loving Ozzy these days. I'm glad he won II. Although I suspect the remaining Raro are going to realize how much of a competitor he is, and may target him next. And... THANKS for doing such an awesome job spoiling! I totally forgot about the show tonight, and when I remembered wondered if anyone would cover for Raen. So you get the You Rock Award tonight, and double bellinis!

Thanks for all the kind words. I did my best, but as I said, it's not easy to watch and type at the same time.

Costa, We can say Jonathan made a mistake tonight(and I think he did), but he is in the final 8, with a very good chance to go to the final 5. Say what you will, but 5th out of 20 isn't so bad and if he wins a challenge or two he could really be a factor in the last few days.

Nick, that's a perfect analogy of Parvati, Candace, and Adam...

NICK!! LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!! It really IS the perfect analogy!! I have to admit, I like how Jonathan thinks, in some ways. His problem is lack of loyalty, because he really explores every scenario, and every possible avenue. Unfortunately, always taking what seems best long-term in THAT moment, is is downfall. What is best *long-term* changes from moment to moment in this game.

This is when I like Survivor--when they merge and I've had time to get to know the players and start to care who stays and who goes. I liked Nate. Hated to see him go. I don't know if Jonathan did a smart thing or not. Was it mainly because he thinks the other allliance plays smarter? I think he would have had a stronger alliance if he hadn't flipped but the numbers would have been even and at least now his new alliance has the numbers. I like Yul and Ozzy the most. I don't have much connection to Sundra and Becky yet. I kind of like Candace, Adam, Parviti, and Jonathan just because their personalities stand out. I'm going to be sick when/if Ozzy or Yul go home. I want them in the final two. I wanted Nate to go far--final three. It's funny that he is so mad at Jonathan since he never liked him anyway. If he had tried harder to bond with him, maybe J wouldn't have switched though J does seem a little hard to take at times.

PS - So I guess it's out that Yul and Becky were a couple there too, eh? I never got into Nate, and I'm glad he's gone. I especially didn't like how he handled Brad's eviction.

Well, Becky intimated that her relationship with Yul wasn't the same as Adam and Candace's...i.e. more brother/sister where Adam and Candace are hooked up

I think Jonathon did the right thing -- look at how many challenges little Aitu won; he's picking the "winning" side over those who couldn't seem to pull it together. The Aitu work ethic just seems to fit w/Jonathon's style better...and a couple of mind games and an immunity or two, and there he might sit in the final three!

One thing about Survivor that always gets me...the outrage someone has when they are voted out and don't see it coming, yet, were trying to orchestrate someone else's outing. Nate's just upset that Jonathan beat him to the punch.

Yes, they are all supposed to be "A" type personalities, which means they normally get their way in everything. Envisioning themselves being outsmarted hurts, and when it happens, they're totally ticked. They think at the person(s) that ousted them, but eventually at themselves for getting duped.

I took Becky's comment to mean that they weren't as DEMONSTRATIVE as Adam and Candace. I think they are together, but show no PDAs like Adam and Candace.

I thought it was interesting that Yul said he would never get a date after this show....when it turns out he was in the People Magazine's sexiest men issue that was out last week.

hey nate, pot meet kettle. wasnt nate the one who went to brad and told him how tight they were, then voted right out. wasnt it nate that was going to the end with rebecca then voted her out. you deserved what you got. jonathan, rock and a hard place. even if he didnt flip, then yul would have played the idol and nate would still be out leaving it a 4-4 split of the remaining contestants. more than likely from there jonathan would be in a tie situation at the next tribal. this way he at least bought himself some time in the game. then if he gets some luck at final five he could go to f2. he wont get a single vote in the finals but he will still be in the game.

I like Parvati. She's the kind of girl you can have a drink and a laugh with. I'm rooting for her individually, although I don't care for her alliance. Yul and Becky could turn out to be a couple, but they don't seem to be that at this point. Maybe they hooked up after the show and were seen out somewhere, fueling rumors.
