I'm definately thinking the list will play out from now on, golly-gosh-darn-it. Ya know that's not what I am thinking. I can't believe those intelligent people are behaving so stupidly (that's mod approved from what I understand) Can't even one of them see that they are handing the game to Rob and Amber??? WHAT ARE THEY THINKING????

Bet they feel foolish now, looking back on how easily they were all led to the slaughter. Each believing that Rob was doing a hatchet job on everyone,except themselves! Were they also all turning a blind eye to this supposed romance? Figuring he was just passing the time of day with Amber? Sleep deprivation...incessant rain...lack of warmth....take your pick on what must have addled the players brains.

Here are the "Across the Board Picks". At the end of the list, they give the final 7 picks for Chillone, Sleek28 and Orangeena for comparison. ACROSS THE BOARD PICKS

Well....I can pretty easily see ChillOne's list panning out as is. Then again Snewswer's got the same thing except for the F2 (now). Maybe that will be dependant on who wins that final immunity, eh?

Alicia may have given us one of the final 2. In her post interview today she said "I'm telling you that I told him I would never write his name down and I never did".

Maybe I'm particularly dense this morning (a not unusual phenomenon!) but I don't get it. Just because she "never wrote his name" down doesn't mean he is in the final 2. Is that how you guys are taking it....that he is one of the final 2?

I think what she was saying that IF Rob was in the F2 she didn't write his name down. Meaning she didn't vote him to win. But then again he might not be in the F2, therefore she had no other opportunity to write his name down.

Thanks for the explanation Serate. I guess I'm delusional enough to hope that Rob is not one of the final 2. I just refuse to think about it. LOL When she originally made that pact with Rob, securing it with a handshake, I immediately thought that it would get her off the hook should he be one of the F2. Then she would never have to "give" him a million dollars. I think the jury, thus far, are very anti-Rob so I can't believe he would get many votes. But then, I was surprised by Jenna winning over Matt too.

Well, they have fallen for everything in the game so far--they haven't tried to get rid of him. Once in the jury, I don't see them changing their minds all that much. If they are honest with themselves, they will also realize they bought into it all. They always had free will to see things differently--Rob never held a gun to their heads. Sometimes when a person is angry for what happened to them, they need to take a look and see if it was reasonable they should have seen it coming. For the last two weeks or three weeks, it seems like they should have. (i'm not a Rob fan, although I'm also not a fan of blaming only one person when others had the ability to see what was in front of them)

I find it fascinating that we, the public, see an edited version and are certainly not privy to all the nuances of the relationships that exist. Lance, what you describe implies maturity and growth, in my opinion. Of course, that is always the hope....that people grow and learn from each other. However, it appears that it is also easier to "blame" one person so they don't have to be accountable. I have found that accountability for personal actions is getting more and more obscure in our society.....why should it be any different on the island? I do think they have missed several opportunities to play the game differently and have made choices, perhaps based on misguided information, that may be a detriment to them remaining in the game. And, there is always the chance that Rob, as F2, could get votes for his game play and strategy, even if they didn't like getting voted off.

I have wondered sometimes if the reason they have the reunion show when they do is for the time factor to kick in. Time for them to get out of the game mode--time for them to think about everything and time for the time to heal some things. I think the shows would be much different if they held it say, two days after the real competition took place. I agree that accountability is getting more obscure over all. I would hope it would different for the show because they are focused on their actions and the actions of others. Also it's a very finite time frame. That can all make it easier to take responsibility and accountability. I thought Lex played differntly--but seemed to do so just for the sake of being different. His play in Africa got him to #3. That means he could have gotten to 1 or 2 by winning a challenge. He played different, and it got him out way before then. Of all the people who would have been served well to play the same, I think Lex heads the list. I think part of that is learning how to lose. You don't have to like losing, although to have to take it with a certain approach. You also have to learn how to win. Winning once at something doesn't mean you are the best. It just means you were the best at that moment against that person. Win everyday and against everyone, then we'll take about being the best. Too many seem to have this huge ego way too soon.

Alicia made a point of saying she would not write his name down. She was not asked the question and in fact interupted the host to make sure she was heard.

I think they all know Rob is THE competition, but since he had everyone except Shii-Ann hoping that he really did mean they'd be with him in F4, Shii-Ann's immunity win rocked his boat.. hitting Alicia tells Tom that unless he can convince them all that Rupert is the biggest threat (which, in F2 he probably would be) that Tom may well be next (after Shii-Ann) unless Jenna makes everyone even crazier than she already is.. Each of them probably figures that they'd stand to beat Rob in F2 (except Shii-Ann, oddly.. she is right that he should value her more and not sure about Jenna, that she could beat Rob either)
