Yup.. Deena pretty much out-Rogered Roger, but she gets to be on the jury.

Personally I thought Deena played a good game, she really had no choice but to try and get the gals to join together to get rid of the guys and thanks to her the other gals are still in it. I think they forget if it was not for her pushiness NONE of the girls would be in it by now. She made a few fatal mistakes however, coming in 2nd or 1st place in most competitions when she didn't need to (this made her look like a threat) and pushing so hard this time for getting the one SHE wanted out, out.

I think she played a good game though, just tried a bit too hard. Once she got rid of the All Male pagong threat - she should have sat back a bit and she might have made it.

She said in the end 'you have to live with your decisions the rest of your life' - not eating that bug cost her a million + dollars, she'll have to live with that.

But I don't dislike her and hope she'll be ok with that, money don't buy happiness - and she's got more class then all the 'wanna-be-barbies' combined.

Meggie, I'm with you on your feelings about <> Rob. I don't like him. He is this year's Richard. He is this year's Brian. Isn't it strange how there always seems to be one person who figures out how to play the game better than the rest?

I wonder if part of it is CBS's editing to make it appear obvious to us. How can the others not notice what is going on? I am practically screaming at the tv for the girls to wise up and team up with loners Matt and Butch and gang up on <rob>. I hope he falls flat on his face and <>

I picked Deena to go tonight because she's been talking way to much in the last few weeks. Look at today's episode - when was she NOT going on to people about her plans. Once that happens, you're toast

Look out Rob, your days are numbered

You guys, I am LIVING for Heidi's boot. <> She has given us more absolutely perfect sound bites than any Survivor except Kelly Goldsmith.

I can't wait for the post boot interviews, it gives me something to live for.

It is all about the jury now people. <> how will the jury vote...not much to pick from, so that is what I am watching for. <>

I just saw Deena on The Early Show, and her mistake was not sticking to the boot plan that
A/R/D/H/J had going into the merge. The plan was to Pagong the new Tambaqui. B/C/M/R/D.
She changed her mind, and wanted Alex out, who was in the alliance. The rest of the alliance felt threated by this. It was never about guys v girls.

I am enjoying Rob and find him entertaining. The show will be boring without him, imo, so I hope he stays for a while longer.

What the heck. Isn't this a NON SPOILING thread? There is a spoiling thread, isn't there?

I am actually mad. Thanks for "spoiling" it for me...

I, too, wish the conversation in the show thread could stay on the show since that is the purpose of the thread - to discuss the show we just watched. There are a lot of other threads to speculate about the future shows... but each week is seems futile.

Julie, sorry you got spoiled. But I think with the amount of posters on the board, it is next to impossible for it not to get leaked out somewhere by mistake by anyone in some thread.

There was a thread specifically set up as a non spoiler thread so this wouldn't happen, but unfortunetly nobody posted in it despite requests by the people who started it.

I seem to remember at the beginning of the season when this was discussed for these very reasons, that most people felt that things just slipped in discussion and it would be a losing battle to fight. So a very specific non-spoiling thread was created as the safe place for people who did not want to be spoiled to go to talk about the show. Only no one ever bothered to go there. My understanding was that all threads were "at your risk" except the specially designated non-spoiling thread.

Maybe for future Survivors, we could split in two for a spoiling and non-spoiling area like they have at other boards?

The only time I've seen the spoiling versus nonspoiling to be a problem is week after week in this thread - the current show discussion thread. This thread should remain, imo, about the show that just aired. All speculation about future shows belong in any number of other threads available on the board.

Again, that is just my opinion and what I've observed over the last many weeks.

Spy, I would agree, but I think it impossible to control. Posters do not do this on purpose. They go with the flow like when one has a real conversation in real life and in their enthusiam they forget where they are and where they are posting, and probably most of the posters are not even aware about this problem.

Herm, I think that is a great idea! And maybe make it so we can block out the spoiling side from our list of favorites, so we won't get spoiled from doing the new message feature.

I didn't say anything either!

I have been yelled at enough this season about letting things slip, so I rarely leave the spoiler thread now. Its a sticky wicket.

I do understand no one does it on purpose, but I also think it is something we could be more intentional to avoid. This thread really shouldn't have anything about spoilers...it is for talking about the show that just came on. Maybe just an awareness of that could help minimize the spoilers.

It is just that this is about the 3rd or 4th week in a row that the issue has come up in the show thread (the same thread each time)....so I'm inclined to listen after several weeks and try to do something about it. It isn't an isolated incident.

Well, Spy, hopefully, this conversation helped. :)

I really, really do like the 2 board idea though and hopefully we can do it for the next one. a

I hope so, Grooch! :)

I love that little blue bouncy guy. Looks a little like me trying to exercise.

You know, the probable outcome of the show is on every single board that has anything to do with the show. The sure way to not know what is supposed to happen is don't read the internet- discuss it at the water cooler. I just think to come on a website and get mad because people are discussing what they know is kind of unrealistic.

We created a Non-spoiler thread 2 months ago, and it was pretty much unused, so what good would creating a whole board do?

I have a really poor connection at night from home, but I come and try to help post when I see there are only one or two people trying to cover.
That takes work and energy that seems not to be needed.

I think I might be hanging out for the show where the facts of life with regard to Survivor are understood. JMO :)

I agree with Spy. Why can't posters in here (the specific Tonight's show thread) just steer clear of spoiling. It's simple. I don't think people who want to talk about the specific shows should have to avoid this thread. Especially if tehy miss part of the show. (with my little one running around, I like to check here and see what I've missed. And I GREATLY appreciate the posters here. (Well, the non-spoiling ones!!) As stated, the nonspoiling thread got no action. All it would take is for posters to think a little before they hit the post button. Or make sure they reread what they are about to send.

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean at the end of your post, Car...."where the facts of life are understood"?

I agree that people shouldn't get mad about the spoilers - it isn't worth that. No one did it on purpose. But I do think that talking about future shows in the thread that is meant to discuss the current show is something easy to address. All the other threads are fair game and if people don't want to know about the future, then don't read the Internet. I agree with that! :)

I think the show thread does take a lot of work - for an hour each week, Square and I transcribe almost word for word the entire hour and people who want to be spoiled can come into chat and read it. Those who don't want to be spoiled know not to come in during that hour.

But, for those people who aren't reading spoilers, this thread is the only place they can go and be around other people (there weren't enough of them to talk among themselves) and talk about the present show - maybe even see what they missed. It is the only place they can actually interact about what they just watched.

Oh well...I might be being too unreasonable. It might not be possible, but I thought I'd give it a shot since I've seen the issue come up several times. But, I can say I tried! :)

i seem to recall this came up last season and the season before that. it comes up every season unfortunately. while car and i used to post the past 2 seasons we would also, and others, bring up what we read, heard, whatever from other sites. and yes that's why i created the non-spoiling thread which is probably dead now. but i will make an effort not to spoil in the tonight show thread and stick to the spoiler thread from now on. sorry guys.

Oh, since I have been laid off and am a stay at home mom, I have no water cooler to discuss this show at. Why can't I read the tonight's show thread and not be spoiled? Is it too much to ask for a little consideration? I stay away from just about every other thread, cuz i know the spoiling might be there. And I think posters have a right to leak and spoil if they want to, but just wish they'd not do it in this thread. :(

Guess it's too late now!
