sorry gang, i missed the cut by about 2 minutes last night, so i can't vote this week. i'm thinking i'll join up again with a slightly different name and let that unspoiled loser "snee" drop out of the game. *grumble grumble*

snee, rejoin, rejoin!
also, the points for who stays in makes a big difference, cuz the 1st week i got all three right, and picked ethan to stay, and was ranked 600th so there must have been over 500 people with riskier choices. There is a chart at the deadpool of who people voted for, so i imagine those percentages would help to decide who is popular
btw- thanks for the answers!

Egbok clicks her heels three times and says, "There's no place like home, there's no place like home". I like the idea of staying here to discuss S3.

Fruitbat, two of my votes are just like yours. Will you bite me if Carl was the "to stay" vote?

Hee-hee!!

heres some convoluted planning:if its true that lindsay collapses but is not sent to the hospital and remains in the game this week, then it seems to me that samburu might get immunity- because if samburu lost it and had to vote someone off, it seems that they would have voted her off using the weakness excuse that they all use so often. Does that make sense?
actually theres one major doubt here tho- I have based this on the fact stated above that she mustve stayed cuz she wasnt in the US hospital til August-BUT what if she was in an African hospital for a month until she was better enuf to get shipped back to one in the US??
but then again, even if she does go out of the game this week for medical reasons, then sumburu would still probably win immunity with that kind of "apres-michael" type of adrenaline that occurs after losing a member from the game that makes the team go wild with strength in honor of their fallen teammate.
anyways dont vote sumburu on my account and blame me if its wrong!! this is after all the plotting and planning thread and everyone could be right or wrong, right?

Okay, I'm thinking it's not Lindsey to go. For one thing, would Mark Burnett really allow the promos to feature her illness so much if she was really the one to go? They usually don't give much away in the promos (remember Mike's injury last season?). Additionally, there is a TV Guide article online somewhere (sorry, I'm missing the link) where it says that two crew members were hospitalized during the filming of S3. But it also states that there was no sudden removal of a contestant for an injury/illness. Hmmm. Should we believe it? There's some misinformation somewhere! :)

So I'm kind of leaning towards Donut's way of thinking. But I was totally off last week (only got my pick for who wouldn't be voted off - Silas - correct), so no one can really rely on my picks, either.

Also - the stills from the promo seem to indicate that Boran wins the "The Gods are Angry" challenge with the huge boulders/balls/whatever. But do we know for sure that it's the IC? I would think so since they seem to be using clothes and branches for some kind of signal (I assume for the RC) in the same episode, but who knows.

I'm apparently very confused.

Btw - would I be crazy to pick Clarence as the one NOT to go this week? I want bonus points, but I'm willing to pick someone else if people think it's too risky.

I don't know. I was thinking of picking Lindsey to stay. Is that crazy? Do you all think that she stays around for a little while, until she gets injured?

Corabell, if you do and you are right, you will probably get more points probably a lot of people will take the promos seriously and think she is getting voted off.

Okay, Im going to say it out loud...Im confused. It not the first time, and wont be the last.

I understand picking the team you want for immunity, and who you think will be kicked off. But where I want to understand better (especially about the points) is who you think will stay. It seems easy, right? But do you pick somebody on the same team that you have said will be leaving? Or is it okay (but less points) to pick someone from the other team?

Example:
IC: Boran
Off: Brandon
On: Frank
Is this more points if Im right?
Or

IC: Boran
Off: Brandon
On: Lex

You are safe Ebok.

I haven't seen this in any thread and you all may know this but on E! every Thursday at 7:30 the old Survivors have a little talk show about Africa.

I have the same question Fflur. Apparently Grooch explained this somewhere. I have not looked for her post.

Car54--apparently you have something to tell me??? Who is not voting for my Carl and why??

I voted Carl to stay and will until he wins. Last week I thought I would get clever and vote for Jessie to stay as I knew her days were numbered. I just thought that number was higher and my strategy to get more points for myself came back to bite me in my behind.

ok ok...Tess here is the deal...we were just not voting for Carl because he is already SOOOOO POPULAR....(yeah, that's the ticket!) He is soooo popular he is not a "risky vote"....it means EVERYBODY LIKES HIM, see? We get more points if we pick people that nobody else picks...
Its all about the TVCH alliance...nothing personal about Carl....personally I have a high regard for Carl...I'm sure he is a very nice person....

(Car54 is driving away slowly with her headlights off til she hits the home page...had a hard day...got in trouble over in the Trading spaces thread and now Tess is mad..... going over to Amazing Race... EVERYBODY over there hates the Guidos, so it's safe.. whew)

I did not vote for Carl but he is in my top two favorites to win. I have been voting for Teresa to stay. This week, I am betting the odds and hoping that Brandon is kick out.

I like Carl a lot though and judging by the Survivor Insider, so do a lot of his fellow survivors.

Fflur,
Grooch posted the scoring guidelines. It is in the Survivor Deadpool archive for 10/17.

oh no, i just voted the opposite of gail, and we know how good gail is at this! maybe i will go back an change!
I voted samburu to win ic, kelly out and brandon to stay. Its tuf betwwen kelly and mamakim, imho, and to try and pick a high point choice to stay seems a really big risk between brandon , mamakim, and yes even lindsey. If she is sick this time, then which is less likely: that she ends up in the hospital for 2 weeks, or that she stays and gets more sick or has a whole new injury next week and then gets hospitalized?
My fear with brandon to stay is that if sumburu loses he probably is first to go since linda is in alliance, kim p got fire and the rest are allied.
i picked kelly over kim cuz they have featured here more, and cuz she seems less useful and more annoying to them at this point.
One other interesting thought is that if tom gives clarence the punishment vote again, then the woman will get him voted out, but i doubt tom is that dumb.

I am not at all sure that we have yet plumbed the murky depths of Tom's dumbness!

Thank you Car54, you are always there to save me! And Off topic did you see how low the Guidos popularity is? 18% I know we can get this lower.

OMG Fflur...you made my day!!!!! I manage the computer system for a retail chain, and I have been sitting all afternoon in a large dim closet untangling cash register cabling.
This just cheers me up no end!!! I checked early early and everyone was the same as before, so before I had coffee, I had a whole CBS conspiracy thing worked out, where I thought maybe they were shielding the Guidos!!!!!
We have to prepare ourselves, tho, they may do something redeeming next week that will make people forgive them. Looks like Nancy and Emily get in a pinch and the Guidos are there to help!
So we will have to vote harder to compensate for that!

I already have my picks for next week, I think Boran is on a roll with the fresh water and great team spirit, the way I see it is that they will win the immunity challenge, and Silas who said he was in this for himself will see that the younger ones being slack asses were the reason that they lost along with the fact that they kicked of a physically stronger player, he is going to jump the young boat and come over to the older team and I think you will see that sissy Brandon out of there. That being said, Silas didn't show that much brain power when he got rid of Carl for whiney Lindsay, so maybe I give him too much credit. I am going way out on a limb and voting Frank to stay.

I agree Llkoolaid. Idiots. I was hoping Silas would come to his senses between the first and second vote. Nope. So, they kept the weakest link, just to prove they could. I'm rooting for Boran and Old Samburu's. I hope Lindsey or Brandon gets booted. I'd even relish Silas going. He's the one that felt it important to let everyone know that Carl didn't need the money. I guess Silas doesn't want it- cause, he just about gave it away.
If that rumor is true, Lindsey will be gone for medical reasons at some point. Can't they figure out that they have to stay strong before the tribes merge. Jeez. Boran will pick the kids off one by one if they manage to get that far.

I am going with Boran to win IC. Water and unity being the deciding factor. Although, if it is a game of knowledge, they would not necessarily have the edge.

Who will go on Samburu is tricky because of the rumor about Lindsey.

If it is false and Lindsey remains: Linda will go.

If Lindsey is gone and the teams are 3 and 3 there will be another tie. I am going to say Linda and Lindsey. Lindsey would go because of her previous votes. (no matter who she was up against)

I will probably vote Lindsey out assuming her accident/illness is rumor.

To stay- Frank

****Just for the exercize of it all...... should Samburu win IC, I would have to go with Tom out. He is not that strong. Big but out of shape and lacks endurance. I am betting his manner is beginning to irritate as well. And Kelly to stay. (for the points, I think many have her marked)

After the total shocker this week I am at a loss as to what to expect considering the producers have done a masterful editing job with many red herrings. Please just someone tell me that we are not going to see another Tina/Colby plotline with Theresa/Silas.
