Shambo's a fucking lunatic.

Isn't the finale usually a 2/3 hour thing with an elimination or two before the final tribal council? Five people remaining on the 20th is still plausible then.

Dave stays, awesome.

Well, John wrote his death warrant when he confronted Russell about the idol. Not to mention he wasn't winning any points when he decided to be stingy about the apple pie. At least we get one more week of Dave Ball's awesome expressions.

Very glad to see John go, but I'd love to see Russell blindsided next week.

Russel continues to amaze. I don't want to see him go because he's so entertaining. I really hope he makes it to the final's just to see how he answers questions.
This episode was edited so horribly, I would have put money on Russell getting blindsided if I wasn't watching it alone. It was set up so perfectly for each side to realize how he's playing them.Mercury Fred said:
Editing problems: They had all that chicken drama then never fucking showed them eat it so we could how it turned out. I was also disappointed they didn't show Dave talking to his alliance about voting out John. This was the first time they turned on one of their own in full force (besides Shambo) and it was an important step in the game.
I also didn't get why Jaison was freaking out about pissing Shambo off and the numbers going back to 4-4. Just fucking vote her off next week. EVERYONE would be fine with that.

I'm sure it is in the contracts that they can't lash out in any way that may affect the game once removed.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
I thought chickens were going to be let loose in this episode?
This was a horrible episode. No drama, bad editing like the post above mentioned. What's CBS trying to hide from us?
The past two episodes were fantastic.

Why are people always so reluctant to spend their cash in the auctions. I'd have done the same thing Mick did. The second something good came out I'd have thrown down all my money.
Yeah no shit. There's really no point in getting two items (unless it's food + shower/call home). Just drop $500 and be done with it.Brian Fellows said:
I'm currently overly paranoid about editing, so I wouldn't be surprised if the event had a lot more items they didn't show. This one especially seemed pretty short (only one fuck you and no family stuff).

Yeah that was a pretty badass burger. Though a whole chicken would have been sweet too.
It could of gone either way, and ultimately I probably would have done the same thing he did. He could either:Woodsy said:
1. Play it like he did. It gave him an extra six minutes of having no exertion in the beginning so he could save his strength.
2. Save it for a mind fuck at the end. When everyone is struggling and he just demoralizes them by moving up. This wouldn't do much to save his aching muscles, but it would probably cause a couple people to lose their focus and quit.
The way it played out, it was better for him to pick #1 cuz Dave almost beat him anyway.
Yeah, I think playing it right away was the better move, because that's that much less total weight and time to fatigue his arm. That he still looked like he was going to fail at the end means he probably would have lost if he waited to use the advantage. Moving up two knots means the same arm is holding the weight, so Dave probably would have won.

Pretty sure he could have moved up one at a time if he wanted.
Damn. Never in Survivor history has such eye candy remained all the way to the endgame. Adonises Brett and Mick with natural beauties Natalie and Monica. (Sorry, Shambo, Dave and Russell.) And essentially, every current jury member is fit and tan. Crazy.
Meanwhile I'm predicting a Shambo-Russell final two. The pathway is there for both of them: but ironically they need each other, or rather I think Russell realizes that he needs Shambo because the others will soon enough scramble to vote out Russell, and soon after (if not before) it will be Shambo -- successively eliminating the older players -- and he will have an intense pow-wow with her next week to preempt this fate.
Even though he may not be able to convince Shambo to keep Dave (whom she hates) as part of an "elder alliance," he can still convince Dave to join it regardless, who will no doubt soon feel scared by unrest amongst the younger players.
And indeed, if Mick and Jaison do begin to scramble against Russell as the previews indicate, I can imagine Brett going with that, and they will of course turn to Monica to make it an advantage of 4 out of 7 votes, but noticing that these three young guys are themselves becoming scheming threats, she may make a strategic move of her own to vote along with Russell and Dave, making it 3 votes on either side (the young men voting against Russell, and the elders+Monica voting against a young male threat) plus Shambo's vote against Dave. The tie of 3 votes is irrelevant because Shambo will then have to cast the deciding vote against either Russell or the young male, and for reasons described earlier, will follow her "broken Galu" instinct and discard Brett.

Elisabeth and Amber both made it about this far. Colby was also there on the guy side.

Natalie's definitely been my favorite girl all around this season.
Dave should be off the island just on his reaction alone, this is his reaction when Russell played the idol and fucked up Galu's chances:BenjaminBirdie said:
Yeah, gotta give her credit. Only female that is really playing the game, in fact after Russell, she's played the best game so far.VGChampion said:

:lol
She hasn't done a damned thing. She just votes for who they tell her to vote for. Kelly was much more involved in the strategy of her team and did much better in most of the challenges.

Woodsy, what have you done?
Brian Fellows said:
She's a good player in challenges and she's smart about how she doesn't get involved in drama at camp. She's easily the most physical woman in the game, and I think she's a lot smarter than they let her appear to be. Also, she scored big points in my book when she was willing to kill a rat for food rather than just run from it.

So she's nice and doesn't get into arguments. Wowee! Hand that girl a million dollars right now. :lol She could be the next Tina or Vecepia. The two most undeserving winners in Survivor history.
Saw this on fark and it made me say wtf...
