Elimination challenge. Ed, Mike and Dawn have to climb up these towers. There are platforms at 25, 50 and 100 feet. At each platform they have to stop and stand still at the very edge for one minute before they can continue. If all 3 make it to the top platform, whoever last the longest does not go before the board.

They all make it to the top, but Ed is first off. It is between Mike and Dawn now. The family finally seems impressed with Dawn!

Mike-- "I can't hold on no more. You the girl, Dawn."

Dawn-- "I got your back."

Mike gets down. Dawn is safe! She was up there for two hours and 5 minutes. Mike and Ed go to the SBoT.

Mike about SBoT- "They've been good to me 3 times. Let's make it 4. I like even numbers better anyway."

SBoT seems to be leaning towards keeping Ed.... please just be playing with us...

I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!

Next... They are going to learn who the SBoT is and then Dawn and Mike each have to plead their case to the SBoT and the SBoT decides which of them gets to stay in.

Dawn Marie was awesome in the challenge! She definitely does have a lot of gumption!

I have NO IDEA who the family will vote back in. Does that even happen tonight or is it next week?

once 'aunt donner' got eliminated, dawn marie really came into her own! i haven't seen tonight's episode yet, but since the frantic 'get me out of the water' scene and the 'we're eating donkey, aren't we?', dawn marie has made what michelle of BB would call a "360- degree turn" lol...
what the rest of the math world would call a "180-degree" turn!

They are getting ready to meet the SBoT. A whole bunch of strangers come out and sit down. The SBoT is asked to come forward. The staff comes out from behind a curtain.

Mike ran up and gave them a hug.

Dawn thought it was another joke and then realized the joke was on them. Mike is the only one that looks tickled. He is grinning. Dawn looks

Jill- a lot of people were really p.o.ed when they found out.

Anthony is really angry. Feels betrayed. Says, "They should die tomorrow."

Aunt Donna is also relaly ticked off. "They don't know me or any of my family from a whole in the wall. I could care less what they think." Aunt Donna is boiling. Wants to know how they make their decisions.

Well, well, well...does it surprise anyone were Anthony gets his immature, obnoxious personality? Saying the BOT should "die"? And Aunt Donna freaking out as well? Oh please.

Poor Dawn Marie. While Aunt Donna and Anthony are pouting and stomping their feet, she's worried for offended someone.

Dawn Marie feels apprehensive. Really didn't think it would be the staff. Is worried she offended someone, especially the chef. She says if she had known, she wouldn't have been such a pain!!!

(Hi Tabbyking!!)

They seem to be building up for a Dawn Marie elmination, which makes me wonder if she is safe... I wish I was writing the rules because I think she and Mike should be the ones to go head to head for the money. I don't think either of them will be voted back in by the family; I think this is it for them, this is their chance.

Uncle Mike just told Dawn Marie that in his heart, if he had a choice, including himself, he would vote for Dawn Marie to represent the family.

Mike is up- Thanking them. Talking about what he has learned, what he would do with the money. Feels like he already got further than he deserved. Feels like he already won.

Dawn Marie- It would be easier if this was strangers. Talking about how she has been herself. She is crying. Said it was hardest to leave her kids home. She wanted for once to not be somebody's wife or mother, but to do something for herself asnd she feels guilty.

(Hi Scorpiomoon!)

Next SBoT session looks heated.

Aunt Donna and Uncle Mike want Dawn Marie to be picked. One of the girls, either Jill or Melinda, wants it to be Mike.

Hermione69

SBoT- we have a tough decision.

I can't keep up with their comments, sorry. Mostly arguing about Dawn Marie and how they perceive her and who they think she is.

They are done. SBoT all addressing the family now and thanking them for this opportunity, yada yada yada.

The 9th person to be denied access to the million dollar fortune is.... by a very close vote of 3-2....

argh! commercial!

Hermione69

And the 9th person to be denied access to the million dollar fortune is Dawn Marie.

Mike is still in it!!

The SBoT is dismissed. The family is on their own now. The family will have a secret vote tomorrow for who they want to go back in the game. They cannot vote for themselves!

Dawn Marie is crying, but she gave Mike a big hug.

I really like that they can't vote for themselves. I don't know who they will pick. Uncle Mike has made a couple of remarks about picking Dawn Marie, but if he votes for her, I am sure it will only be after making her promise to share the money. She has definitely proved her mettle in the last couple of competitions.

I think Uncle Mike will be the one going back in though. I can see Donna, Ed and Anthony all voting for him.

Let's see if Uncle Mike is a man that stands by what he says. If he is, he'll vote for Dawn Marie to go back in the game. If he doesn't vote that way, everyone will know that he just blows smoke to get what he wants.

as I just stated in the Gen conversation thread,
I am a cousin Mike fan but here is the sad fact folks. He has been saved 4 times by the board. This means HE CANNOT WIN COMPETITIONS! He has LOST 4 competitions, that's why he was in front of the board so often.

I hope he can do it this once..and I hope he takes care of Jill (who got him on the show) and cousin Dawn (who kept winning competitions when no one thought she could). I hope he gives the rest the nothing they deserve.

He has not lost the four competitions ... in a couple of them, he was put up by family members. In the water one, he had no choice really.

Yay! Go Cousin Mike!

Him and Dawn Marie really deserve to be the final 2. Can't wait til next week and hoping for the best for Cousin Mike!

i feel mike is on his own though. all the rest of the family is going to send someone in to go against him thinking they will get a share of the money. they won't send dawn marie in because she already lost to mike, is my thinking...

GO COUSIN MIKE!!!!

He's been my favorite since very early on. Dawn Marie totally impressed me with the number of fears she overcame, but I like Mike the best. :)

If Dawn Marie did win the money, can you imagine how she would buckle under the pressure from Uncle Mike and the rest to share it with them? I don't think Mike will care what they say to him, he'll do what he wants.

Jan, I agree with ladytex. Mike has been put up by others at least two of those times. Aunt Donna and Uncle Mike have wanted him out since day one since they don't feel he is real family.

Which reminds me . . . I don't ever remember hearing Aunt Donna or Uncle Mike talking about sharing the money with everyone else before. Now that it's obvious they won't be in the finals, all of a sudden, they're complaining about how the winner is suppose to share with them? Funny how that never came up before!

Share it with your own real family, Mike!
