I agree that Ethan thinks more strategically than Tom...

Teresa going just seems too easy... and still I am confused about the BIG turn around with her and voting Ethan.

Moondance - at the risk of being wrong again :) I'm pretty sure Ethan still has no votes. Last tribal council voting was split with 4 votes for Kim P and 2 more for Lex (from Kim P and Theresa). I even went and checked Joan's Survivor Insider update to make sure I remembered correctly!

Good job that "being quiet" wasn't a New Year's resolution as it didn't last very long did it?

Ok then if that is the case... (you would never know that I have a 25 score in the deadpool LOL) then I guess this is the epi where the 'secret is out' and Lex finds out about Teresa's vote and she is gone or we find out Lex really has a secret all. with T and KimJ or Ethan is out.

The vote that intrigues me still (and I believe that Theresa almost certainly had a hand in it too) was Frank's vote for Kim J. It seemed so odd a choice and the Survivor Insider gave no explanation for it.

I've just read your post above Moon, and I think you're probably right but what that means is it'll be very difficult to get good points in the deadpool (since Theresa will maybe go and maybe not so putting her anywhere risks major negative points, if you see what I mean). I have to bow before your much higher deadpool standing than mine though. I've not had much luck the last few weeks which is maybe why I'm so confused now.

Good point! Maybe to insure her at least a vote for on down the line...hmmmm

Also this is my mind warp again... what about the 'selfless or sacrifice teaser'... it hasn't happened either... what if Teresa gets immunity and KimJ just tells the boys to vote her out... doesn't mean they will but she offers... MB is elluding to the 'lets get Ethan' which tells me it won't happen.

Voting History

Moon, T and Kp voted Lex (that is what is odd- they must have felt that Kimj might come around at the last minute)

Ethan and Teresa have no votes against them yet.

Britchick, I think from what Frank said, he knew Kimj had no votes, and felt that if she did align with Kp and T, that would make Kp and T stronger- that she has some votes- she would be more of a target than they would.

I just can't see how it would go any differently than the obvious. Then again, I've had three negative point weeks, so what do I know?

Teresa will go next. She has no alliances, and KimP even said Teresa would be next in an Insider clip "Theresa is working all angles and trying to save Kim because she knows that if Kim goes, she goes next."

Lex or Ethan wins immunity. It's physical and the two of them are the only real possibilities to win. Now, if the IC includes making fire, Lex will definitely win, unless Ethan has learned how since the last time they did this in a challenge. Lex also has an advantage since he's had more to eat.

I don't see Tom or Ethan turning on Lex at this point. They both must realize that either one of them can go up against Lex in the final vote and win. So I think they'll bank on the three guys being the final three. If Lex wins the last immunity, he'll get to chose first place winner. If Tom or Ethan wins the final immunity, then they'll have the Colby dilemma - do I take someone I like more, or do I take the one I can win against.

JMO. :)

Oh, Good Lord, Moon. Thanks a lot! They all are thinking Ethan is going and I have him picked as winning IC. Now I am completely doubting myself here and I am going to drive my self crazy.

Hey I just posted it for the pix of the challenge ... Our man Ethan is stayin'!:)

He must be. Otherwise the others run the risk of him not voting for them in the final vote.

Shoooo, I think I can start to relax now.

But if the person you pick for IC gets booted, you end up at the bottom of the dead pool.

Just read this article about Teresa. The thing I am wondering is her husband says they were apart FIFTY days. I thought filming was 39 days. There were a couple of travel and training days prior to the game, but 11 extra days?

This is from the The Atlanta Journal-Constitution published October 12, 2001. in an article by STEVE MURRAY, a staff writer

Hometown well-wishers cheer Georgia's "Survivor"

_____________________________________________________

Teresa Cooper on "Survivor: Africa."

Jackson - "There she is!" came the yell about 90 seconds into "Survivor: Africa" Thursday night, when a couple dozen friends and relatives first spotted Teresa Cooper.

Cooper was aboard a truck, rattling over the Kenyan plains with 15 fellow contestants and host Jeff Probst.

"Go Teresa!"

"She's looking good."

But that was nothing compared to the cheers and clapping that erupted when Cooper got her closeup in the opening credits. Or when her tribe pulled their cart to victory in the series' first immunity challenge.

The cheering section had gathered at the end of a long dirt driveway in the spacious home of Don and Edna Wright. They are the parents of Cooper, the first "Survivor" contestant from Georgia. The group included excited kids, Cooper's twin brother, Don, and kid sister, Kate, as well as a news crew from WGCL, CBS' Atlanta affiliate.

They nibbled finger food and milled around for 45 minutes as President Bush's news conference delayed the show they'd waited to see ever since Cooper had left for Africa under a cloak of secrecy on July 4.

Edna Wright, remembering when her daughter first told her she wanted to be on "Survivor," said: "I thought, 'Huh? You want to do what?'

"But we were crazy about watching the show. We all loved it. And knowing my child, I knew she could do it. She has determination like you wouldn't believe."

And plenty of energy. Cooper, 42, works as a Realtor in her hometown, 50 miles southeast of downtown Atlanta, and is a flight attendant for Delta.

And she's a mother of two: Tyler, 8, and Ellie, 5, both at their grandparents' home Thursday to watch the show.

(Cooper herself watched from her home, barred from speaking to the news media until the series ends.)

"She's like a pit bull on the pantleg of opportunity," said her husband, Brian Cooper, 44, a fellow Delta flight attendant who had to cope with being out of contact with his wife for 50 days.

Previously they'd only been apart for about four days in their 13-year marriage.

"It was like she was dead. Thank God the show is finally starting," he added, though he says he doesn't have a clue what went down in Africa.

One thing we do know: Teresa Cooper will be back on TV next Thursday. She survived the first ousting at the tribal council.

11 more days sound about right... travel - training and recovery. MB likes them to travel home together so there are no rumors and we know a few of them got pretty sick.

Did anyone notice that when Teresa left last night, she hugged Tom, Kim and Lex goodbye, but nothing for Ethan? What was that about?

ARRRGH, I hate Lex, he ruined everything. I had it all right, how Kim was going to use Theresa and work on the men to get rid of Lex and break up the male trio. I am going to sink to the bottom of the pool. Boy I was scared at the vote, I thought Tom was a goner and I voted him to stay, Theresa immunity and Lex off. I got one right and that will help with the major negative points for the other two.

Car I wondered about that too. I went back and looked at the tape and Teresa was holding Eathan's hand after the vote and while she hugged Kim and Tom. She let go when she hugged Lex.

Too bad they didn't take Lex out when they had the chance. I don't think their going to get another one.
