Wow...stunned. I just finished watching. Poor Eric. lol I have to agree with those who have said this is the best Survivor Season since the first one. I have truly looked forward to it week after week.

Lilfair--I think when referring to Eric the 'naive' comment was more in reference to lack of knowledge with women and wanting to be accepted.<57>

I'm with Eeyore about Parvarti, I didn't like her comments to Eric during the voting process, she could have just said "Dumb Move" but she really had to gloat and rub it in his face. I too hope she's voted out next.

I'm ok with anyone but Parvarti winning but I would ideally like CIRIE to WIN!!! Go Cirie!!!

I wanted Amanda to win last week. This week, I have to switch to Cirie. That girl has worked it all season! Not only did she come up with the idea of trying to get Erik to give Natalie the necklace, she told Natalie what to say to him, she worked him beautifully when he came to her, and she told the others how to play him at tribal council. It was absolutely brilliant! She has been the real mastermind all season, and she deserves the money more than anyone else. If she doesn't win, she needs to be fan fave!

Based on what I've seen, I think a Cirie / Amanda finale would really make the jury voting difficult. If the jury sees Cirie the same way that us TV viewers do, then, the vote could easily be split down the middle. Amanda deserves to be there just for her performance last week with the HII.

even if the pope offered me immunity in exchange for my necklace I wouldnt hand it over.



LOL Maris, exactly!

Eric had just witnessed how many blindsides? Eliza used a fake idol, Ozzy had one but left it at camp, Jason had one and didn't use it, Amanda used hers and therefore blindsided Alexis.... After all that, and apart from the fact that Eric won it three weeks in a row (clearly he needed to or he would have been toast) and he was against four women.... The odds, ALL the odds were stacked against him, the tribal council feedback should have been a CLEAR clue to him, did he even hear what Parv said? Need I go on? DUMBEST MOVE EVER IMO.

Bottom line is you NEVER give it up because it is so hard to come by and so sacred and as a survivor superfan, you are SUPPOSED TO KNOW THIS!

<57>

Eric should have known better, nuff said.

Someone asked if the necklace had ever been given away, and the answer is yes. Jenna gave the immunity necklace to Heidi during that season, and it saved them both.

Ladytex, you are such an expert. I seek out your informative posts here Thank you again for the link to the JP interview! LOL he IS short!

Has it ever been given away resulting in an Eric situation, do you know?

Is the general consensus that his move is the dumbest survivor move ever? It is, IMO.

I think Eric misread the puzzle he solved, he thought it said "Give the guarantee to the final four to someone else & hope that you don't get voted off"

Yes, IMO: dumbest survivor move ever

He knew Survivor trivia enough to win what I considered a difficult challenge. Proved that he is truly a Survivor Buff, not just talking. Then, after participating in all those blindsides, he cut HIMSELF out of the game.

Not to mention he kept worrying and wondering 'who was the biggest threat'. After winning all those challenges in a row, couldn't he even perceive that HE was the biggest threat to all of the Ladies? Forget the jury votes, he could very easily have continued to win things like the F3 endurance challenge. Nice guy, but totally "outplayed".

I do recall the immunity necklace being passed between the two skinny girls who stripped for peanut butter, but I couldn't remember who gave it to who. I also don't recall it having any effect on voting. WAsn't it more a gesture and not a game changing move? Can someone with a better memory than I give the details?

What is so great about this season of Survivor is how hard these people are PLAYING the game! Usually when it gets down to these numbers, one alliance picks off the others while those others just fold up and take it. I don't think I've ever seen this game being played as well as it is, especially at this stage of the game.

I read on another board that Cirie might be playing the game TOO slick. Most people don't realize she's the one that played them. So the jury members might end up seeing her as a coat tail rider, rather than the mastermind she's been.

Who said: " Most people don't realize she's the one that played them. So the jury members might end up seeing her as a coat tail rider, rather than the mastermind she's been."

Yes, but I think if it came down to Cirie being questioned by the jury at F2, she won't hesitate to give them a 'walk thru' all of her maneuvers. And how she was the mastermind behind the boots, without looking like she's actively stabbed people in the back (like Nat/Parv/Amanda). I also think the jury would respect the fact that Cirie's come from being at the bottom of the heap with no real alliance - to being the Ringmaster. They also have seen her facial expressions at TC.

An advantage that Cirie has, I suspect, is that the jury may not feel as much jealousy toward her as A/P because they were not as close. human nature.

Also (for the most part?) she chose her alliances very wisely, and then stayed loyal. The ideal way to play the game, imo, and I love esp the loyalty that Cirie has shown Amanda.

I also love what she said at TC when she cast her vote for Erik (and was disappointed by Parv's snotty dig. wonder why Amanda was edited)

looked up naive

1. Lacking worldly experience and understanding, especially:
a. Simple and guileless; artless
b. Unsuspecting or credulous
2. Showing or characterized by a lack of sophistication and critical judgment

Erik may have seen previous seasons...but he's never seen a group of women play this fierce. that's why I'm willing to call him 'naive.' he underestimated them.

Can't help but think that if he were pitted against the top four guys, he wouldnt have so carelessly yapped out his ass, and then when called out as untrustworthy, given away his immunity

like Jeff said, twas a life lesson

Brenda, see LadyT's post of 7:45 p.m. Jenna and Heidi were the two who stripped for peanut butter.

Please be reminded that the TVCH posting rules prohibit you from calling someone "dumb". That's known as 'bashing'. You may criticize their game play, and say they made a dumb move. But making a dumb move, does not make a person "dumb". Or we would all be "dumb" :-)

I will be happy if any of them EXCEPT Parvi!

I think Cirie should win, she masterminded most of this season! They need to give her a job writing drama shows, she is gooooood!!!
