Bump.
I think Matthew is going to win immunity this week and will go on to win the million $.

Well, this is getting interesting since he is edited to appear so clueless.When reading his bio he has quite the eclectic background. He has reeked of $$ since I first read about him and he was the one I was anxious to see on tv.GO MATT

IMHO .... Matt really is starting to show us what he is made of, besides Survivor skills. (1)He spoke game plans to Butch that made a lot of sense, but didn't have to use it because Rob approached him. (2) He went along with Rob, instead of trying to take the lead and say, "Hey, Butch and I already thought of that". (3) He said he had already been having a lot a meaningful conversations with Christy. (4) And I think he threw the IC, so that Rob would get the immunity. Obviously he knew that the majority of the team mates would not have a crush on him. Rob's having immunity, allowed Rob to relax and feel safe, and put Rob in a better mode not to back out on the "Boot Alex" scenario.
Yeah......I think Matt is starting to let us see that he does have a clue!!!

I still think Matt is fairly gullible, but the alliance slipped up enough to finally give him a clue (and a chance at making the final two and possibly even winning). And you know -- his genuine honesty and the fact that he's starting to think about the game is really making me root for him. Underdog and all that. :) Plus I think Christy and possibly even Butch are even more in the dark than he is, so he's managing to look better in comparison.

Wasn't Matthew great talking about that prehistoric fish he had caught? Did you all see that fish? It had long fangs like a dog. I expected him to give us a long lecture on comparative anatomy or something.

Matt (votes Alex): He crossed me once, I forgave him, he crossed me twice, I offered reconciliation. Thought we could make a great team. He rejected every effort I made to work things out with him and become his friend. He's very deceptive. He's made things very difficult from day one. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Just want to remind him that while I was voted most honest, that does mean that I am most naive. His reign is over.

Csnog ~ Loved it!!

I've liked Matt since early on and have never understood the other's reaction to him. I've always thought he looks more like he's on an anthropology adventure then he is in a competition for money. And I honestly don't think the others get that or appreciate it. He's one person I can see leaving this game feeling like he hasn't missed out on or lost anything. And I think that's a good place to be emotionally.

I think what lecture there was about the fish was an excuse for why he was talking to Christy, in case someone walked up on them.

Matt in an interview before Survivor began.

I am gonna be an actor. Try to maintain my sense of integrity and my morality, in the beginning, because I think it’s important to gain people’s trust. Then I can do what I want with it. (all the while he is smirking)

On Strategy:

If I have to be a little bit slippery, a little bit eely, then I’ll do it. Whatever it takes.

Sometimes I’ll be absolutely naive, sometimes an idiot, sometimes a leader, sometimes I’ll be a follower.

On Who will win Survivor:

I can taste victory. I am confident. [laughs] You gotta be confident.

I think I got this thing already wrapped up. You might as well hand over the check right now because I already beat these guys. This is gonna be a cake walk, in my opinion.

Just wanted to post that I think Matt has retained a pretty healthy physical look considering how they are all supposed to be so weak and malnourished. I think his face looks a little guant...but, oh, those muscles in his arms sure look good and strong. Go Matt!

Maybe Matt is taking advantage of all the stuff around him to eat, such as grubs, plants, lizards, snakes or whatever. Some of the others (ahem, guess who) are obviously starving themselves rather than eat anything unknown to them. Butch doesn't look too awfully skinny either, maybe he and Matthew are both eating the local food. Even Christy and Rob are not looking bad.
I am thinking that Heidi and Jenna let themselves get thinner on purpose, part of their "I'm thin and beautiful" campaign. What a hideous joke on them, wait until they get a look at reality.
Go Matthew.

Matthew looks like some guy who always plays an undertaker in movies, can't think of his name, really a good actor and very atractive.
Does anyone know who I mean? I'll think of it eventually.

Hi Catfat! I don't know who you are talking about, so if the name pops into your head, let us know! I think Matt is very attractive. He has grown on me, while Alex, who I originally thought was so hot, has deteriorated. Just goes to show, for me, how much of an individual's ultimate attractiveness ties into how they come across as a person.

Catfat, all I can think of is Lurch on the Adams Family and I know that's not who you mean! I'll keep thinking, too. It's gonna bug me all day now!

I'm not sure who Catfat's mystery undertaker is but Matthew sometimes reminds me of John Glover (think that's his name). He plays Lionel Luthor on 'Smallville' now but he's been in many movies/shows.

Jeep -- I'm with you, I see Lurch in him.

In every Survivor, there is some alliance that is quickly glossed over but turns out to be vital. I think in this case it's Matthew and Butch. I don't think they have shown just how loyal those two are to each other.

We are down to three groups now, IMO: Matthew/Butch, Heidi/Jenna and Rob. I am betting (hoping) that
1) next week will see Heidi gone. Matt will want her gone first because apparently she is so dang popular {gagging} and at the same time, it breaks up the girls alliance. Butch goes along with Matt. Rob also votes for Heidi because he knows the can't break up the girl's alliance but Matt/Butch are less cemented (in Rob's mind)
2) Sunday, hour #1 - Rob will be cut loose because he has served his purpose but just cannot be trusted.
3) Sunday hour #2 - I see Jenna winning immunity and taking Matt with her to the final two because she knows everyone loves Butch.

This would tie in perfectly with the betting house scandal spoiler. It would also make Matthew the only loyal player since he wouldn't be the one ousting Butch.

Can Matthew win against Jenna?
Dave = Matt (a man must have contributed more, right?)
Deena = Matt (Jenna was part of her alliance that betrayed her)
Alex = Jenna (tight alliance)
Christy = Matthew (no brainer, Jenna couldn't pay enough for Christy's vote)
Heidi = Jenna (tight alliance)
Rob = swing vote, he is using both sides, not sure what true feelings are beyond game
Butch = Matthew (tight alliance plus feels Matt has worked harder and is better person)

Results: 4 votes Matthew, 2 votes Jenna, Rob's vote doesn't count. Matthew wins, we all rejoice and hope he shows up for post-show interviews with no shirt. :)

I doubt the Matthew Butch alliance because Butch was totally in the dark about ousting Christy.

Butch has been following Matt's lead blindly and would have easily voted out Christy.

Matt's not informing Butch of the new situation leads me to believe Matt and Rob view him as a vote only when he is useful.

If you read the Markpolo transcripts from the "Survivor Insider", he says as much himself;


Quote:

Matt: Like I said, it's just natural. Because you're (Rob) the reason, if you had cut me off day, on like day 15, I wouldn't be here. And the fact that you were my lifeline, and the fact that we built this thing, I'm completely cool man. And I think, like I said, it should be you and I in the end. It should be. Everyone else.... Cause you know what, you took alot more risks with betraying people and you were alot more strategic. I had my strategy, stay underneath the radar, come out when it was safe, come out when I had to come out. You know, Butch, he's been just lucky. He really has.

I am wondering why Matt did not do well at the plate competition. He is a better marksman than he showed at that event. I am again wondering if he threw the comp. Also why did he take out Jennas plates?

A little secret we don't see?

No doubt in my mind Matt threw that competition. Matt is playing the game and playing it well. I have been saying that all along. He aint as dumb as he acts.

I'm wondering what Matt said when he voted for Christy -- does the Survivor Inside have this information?

Seamonkey

I still think Rob may have explained to Matt how dangerous a tie could be, and that the three were going to vote Christy no matter what. They didn't inform Butch because he might have told Christy.. just a wild guess on my part.

Maris

YOu could be right Sea. Butch has to get Matt on board that nowis the time to dump Rob. They have to get rid of Rob this week. Everyone of them knows Rob will turn on them, so time to cut him loose.
