Okay, I'm still watching the show and I haven't read this thread, so I don't know if this has been discussed already, but what's with Kenny saying that Bob doesn't know how to play the game so therefore he should go? Wouldn't you want to keep people around who don't know how to play rather than people who do? And then he turns around and says Bob is a big threat so he has to go? How can he be a big threat if he doesn't know how to play the game?

Merry.. well Bob seems to be playing well enough to win comps tonight, thought it was Sugar and Corinne who actually displayed the most knowledge of Gabon (wonder if Corinne noted that Sugar beat her, hmm)

I think when talking with the five, Kenny thought Bob was more of a threat than Corinne, but as soon as anyone (Bob, Corinne) brought up Matty, especially with Bob immune, Kenny was quick to jump. Perhaps too quick.

Kenny's been stabbing people in the back with Crystal since way back. If this doesn't wake Matty up, nothing will.

Love how Bob gave it to Sugar for her taking the laughing at Randy too far! You go Bob!

Maybe there's hope yet that Sugar, Kenny and Crystal aren't in the final 3.

Silly Kenny, silly silly Kenny. He could have said thanks for the info, prove that you have the idol at tribal council and we'll vote with you next week - otherwise I'll stick with my side and you'll just be out next week instead of this week. Then he could have voted out Corinne and not shown the others he would switch. Silly move.

I think Kenny has a point that Bob doesn't play the tactics game very well, but if he's likeable, helpful around camp, and gets immunity, that doesn't matter.

Anyone else think the behind the scenes people heard Matty telling someone he wanted to propose to <His girlfriend> <100> and engineered the mass family event? I liked seeing everyone being able to spend quality time with their loved one, but it was unusual they allowed it.

So glad Corinne has gone. She's been the least likeable survivor in a while.

Now that Corinne is gone-<100>- I am happy with anyone who wins- a place I have never been this early in the game. If I had to pick, I guess it would Kenny.

Bob and Corinne thought that they could get both Kenny and Crystal to vote for Matty so their fake ii would be safe. They made up a story to both of them that they didn't want to have to expose it so soon. I don't know why Kenny thought he had to vote Matty and he told Crystal to vote Corinne. I think maybe he was trying to cover his bases in case they were lying about the ii. From Kenny's face you can see he fully expected Corinne to play the hidden ii and Corinne is sitting there thinking they've also talked Crystal into voting for Matty so she would be safe. Didn't quite work out for them, did it?!! :-) I can't believe how nasty Corinne was at the end. Yikes.

I'm also glad she's gone because her name is spelled like my Mom's, but hers was pronounced "Cor-eene" and people would mistakenly pronounce it Cor-rin like the person on TV. It annoyed me every time I heard it. LOL

I am glad Corrine is out! That's the only person I wanted to see gone...even before Randy!

She kept saying how the others were so incompetant but who's the one that got voted out? lol

I thought it was a good idea for them to try to flush the idol out-I bet Corrine wasn't thinking of that!

I think all of the Survivors left have truly Survived being voted off at one time or another and that's what makes it a good show to me! Sure Kenny& Crystal have turned but they have managed to scrape by many times. I would feel good about myself after that too...lol

I think that Watching is right. Kenny was covering is bases. If he voted for Matty and Crystal voted for Corrine and she had the II then he would be the hero in that alliance (and Crystal would be the first of the 4 to go).

Bob said he was a scavenger and picks things up when he sees them. Obviously there are some pretty good pickings around the wilds of Gabon...LOL!

I'm really hoping that Kenny goes home next. I'm tired of hearing how he "saved" so many people so they all trust him and like him. He thinks he's got the game sewn up if he makes it to F3 or F2 because everybody likes him and would vote for him.

Yeah Roxip, those are my thoughts as well....where does Bob find such Gabonish materials to be able to create not one, but two fake immunity idols?

Btw, love the "Gabon Michaels". I'll have to stop in on my next trip there. I've been saving up for a couple of "Fake HII" kits myself. I wonder if they accept coupons?

I wonder if the producers scattered a few beads 'n' trinkets around exile island, hoping someone would use them?

I think Bob is great. I wish they'd show more of his outdoors survival ingenuity/ideas.

Sea, why do you think Sugar couldn't win? It's possible she could be up against someone the Kota people don't like. I could see Marcus and Charley anyways possibly voting for Sugar. I don't think they really saw what (apparently) some people saw.

I think Sugar could beat Susie and that is iffy. The Jury does not like her.

I have seen on the episodes, different items the set director/crew decorate the set with. At camp, at Exile, challenges there are beads, little idol heads, leather straps. ect... Bob could easily snag something that was hanging around for the ambiance. He is just the only one to think of gathering the items when no one is looking. Or could say, he was taking them home for souvenirs. I don't think the camera crew interferes. As long as it isn't against the rules.

I don't think it would that difficult to find things to make the HII's.

I bet we will see much more of it in future editions of Survivor...

What Askme_... said!

Did they get something African before the game even started a la S:China?

The Hut on the first camp ground must have a bunch of things.

Was Bob one of those who was treated with the Dance & Feast? Didn't they get necklace made with more than just flowers?

Those are the three other places I could think of to find beads & things.

Not to take credits away from Bob for making what he did, though.

Hey, didn't Matt also made a necklace for his girl? I don't remember seeing it, just Matt telling her and she responded. I watch that part through the fog as well .... :-)

Well Matt and Jamie certainly have a story to tell as to how they got engaged! On 2nd thought, I guess they won't have to tell anyone... how cool was that?

About Kenny.

His game is messed up as he acknowledged it himself to Bob in the "Next Week" part. That's what Corinne & Bob really succeeded in doing. They exposed him to the other three. Sugar is going to jump on this and plot Kenny's vote-out. We all know how many times Sugar talked about not trusting Kenny so much but still rode on his idea. Little does Corinne know, she just did a great big favor to Sugar! There goes the chance for Kenny to plan and flush out here hii or blind-side Sugar citing the hii ownership.

Put ourselves in Kenny's shoes though. We all know that, Corinne will just turn around and take this offer to some one else. If that feast hii was real, she could easily be plotting to get rid of you or your best ally instead!

I don't really blame Kenny for trying to BS Matty. Sugar & Susie knows well in their hearts Matty would be the biggest threat blocking them from the final prize. They just got lucky. Now they could openly dump on Kenny for doing the exact thing they would have done.

Sugar might just get to the F3! (J.Diddy said some where this was going to be a season with F3.)
Sugar is the least liked by the Jury and the least likely threat to IC. Susie could take Silver in those criteria. Crystal is in her own category, a whole other subject. But if they ended up with Matty in the F3, then they might as well stop the struggling now and give the money to him!

(I suppose there's no way for Bob to make the F3, but who knows! Stranger things had happened in the game of Survivors!)

If Bob, Kenny or Matt are in the final three, the women haven't got a chance. The only way one of the women can win is if all three are there at the end. Those who are on the jury now wouldn't vote for any of the women and they will be the majority of voters.

Costa, I think Charlie said really negative things about Sugar in his post interviews and even if Marcus liked her before, he's surrrounded now by three others who openly hate Sugar..

Unless she does something spectacular I just don't see her beating anyone.

Here is the exit interview with RealityTVWorld. While Corrine sounds at times like some snotty high school girl, she sheds some INTERESTING light on where some of the pieces came from for the 2nd Fake II plus why it looked so realistic:

Also from that "Exclusive" exit interview, Corrine knew that Sugar had the HII, but had been told Sugar had previously used it. Good read & I recommend.

The only time I had ANY affection for Corinne was when she was narrating what it was like to have a picnic with people who didn't know what goat cheese and pate were.
