Episode 12 of 15

I guess Carolyn must have Sierra. It's the only way that move makes sense for her. Certainly Sierra would be easier to beat at the end than Tyler would be.

Don't go to the CBS Survivor site if you don't want spoilers. In the list of people to vote for in next season's "Second Chance", there are two people who are still in with a chance of winning this one. So I'm guessing they're both voted out the next week or two. What a dumb move - thanks CBS.

edit: Apparently there's a disclaimer on there to say if either of those two win, they are ineligible to return. But it looks like someone slipped up to me. We'll see.

Thanks for the warning. I was about to go over there. The only remaining player you'd think anyone would vote for a second chance would be Mike. If Mike goes next week (which would be the completely predictable thing to happen), would this be the most unlikable final five ever? Like Alien versus Predator ... whoever wins, we all lose.

Hey Rodney, you know a way to guarantee you don't spend your birthday on an island? Don't f%#@ing sign up for Survivor! And you know a sure-fire way to go on a reward? How about actually winning a challenge! For a guy who seems young and in shape, he sure does suck at challenges.

It was Rodney's birthday? Somehow I missed that.

Goodness. His crying might have been the most annoying thing all season.

Lame episode with not much drama. Carolyn certainly seems to be in the driver's seat with a HII that no one knows about.

I am 99% certain the winner is 1 of the 2 people on the "second chance" list and he/she is one of the options as a decoy.

Even before seeing that I figured there is no way anybody but Mama C wins this thing now that Tyler is toast. Her performance at challenges is the tipping point. That and the fact that she looks to be somebody that will indeed take the weakest players to ensure her victory.

I'm still hoping for my dream final 3 of Rodney, Will, and Dan.

Wouldn't be the first time I've wanted the jury to have a none of the above option.

Figured Carolyn had the challenge since she was so well-balanced (although, like Tyler & Mike, she struggled a bit at times). She's strong & had less weight to hold up & has shown the ability to Zen out in endurance challenges.

Unless Mike wins immunity, he should be gone next time. If he does win, he can work on Dan to put the two votes into play. However, if that happens & they target Carolyn, she has the HII ready if she gets a whiff of that.

Isn't the last chance to play an idol when they get to five contestants?

Will seems to be a lock for Final Three. Maybe Dan, too.

Rodney could end up winning this whole thing. Unbelievable.

Looking back, it was obvious Tyler knew his goose was cooked, since he voted for Mike. His only hope was that Mike would inexplicably hold on to his HII. I'm a little surprised he didn't make a bigger deal at TC that he had knowledge of Dan's special advantage and reveal it to others. There was a scene last week that wasn't shown where Tyler had a plan to talk up Dan's advantage and/or lie about what it was specifically. Too bad he didn't do more with that. Or perhaps he did and it didn't make the cut.

I am always surprised those that know they are toast don't reveal what secrets they know at tribal or during their walk of shame. Tyler could have easily hinted at Mama C's idol one way or another.

Yep...I guarantee you neither of those people win.
