I really hope Denise makes it to F3. I really like her story the best.
Attending and surviving every Tribal Council in the game is just an unreal stat, if she makes it that far.
Another final three? Ugh. Stop it with final threes.
F2s basically cause the audience to stop watching after the F3 TC in a lot of cases. It's a production-side issue. F3 also tends to get more "likable" winners.
 
Malcolm and Denise competing neck and neck while Skupin and Lisa seem confused by what game they're playing. It's like the challenge was the season in miniature.
 
The competition is so thick. The advantage is going to hand Malcolm the win in the next challenge.
If he fails to win it despite an advantage going in, he's pretty much cooked his goose at the F4 tribal council unless Skupin wins and truly wishes to keep him around.
 
F3s also allow for less problematic situations if post-merge potential jurors are injured. You want to avoid the possibility of unbreakable ties. F3s give production flexibility.
 
That Denise waited this long to nail down a final 3 deal with Malcolm will probably be the last in a series of poor choices she's made since the merge.
 
Malcom plays 'the game' awfully.

If someone is breathing down your neck for a F3 deal, blow smoke up their ass and make them feel comfortable. The only way you're really safe is if you win Immunity, but you don't want the person who you tell they aren't safe to win it, and then have a reason to vote you out. That's like Reality Show 101.
 
Skupin doesn't seem to comprehend that he loses regardless of who he takes. He has a better chance against Malcolm tho. I think Denise will be sour if she gets eliminated.
 
They only stopped because of the abomination that is Redemption Island eating up airtime in the finale. So glad they (by which I mean Burnett) got through to (overruled) Jeff and killed it.

Redemption Island was always the biggest waste of time. It took precious footage of the game being played away for absolutely no reason.

It also resulted in pretty much straight pagonging because the threat of someone re-entering the game made people reluctant to blindside anyone or make any big move.
