Next week should be interesting because the "Six" will finally have to turn on each other. I think the gals will stick together and vote Aras out.

I absolutely HATE Terry. The seasons where one guy dominates every challenge suck (just like Super Firefighter Tom's season sucked). I'll still be tuning in every week cheering for Terry to break an arm like Cirie said.

But of course he'd probably STILL win with his broken arm.

Did anybody catch what the hideous Courtney said about Terry in the begining segement last night? My friend and I thought she said something like "What normal American would want to be a fighter pilot?" Of course, our wives were cackling away, so we couldn't be sure.

I'm not sure if it was Courtney or Danielle but one of them said "how can anyone win against a us fighter pilot".

I don't understand Terry's plan.
If he's not going to give the idol to anyone else to get Aras off why go around and show everyone it ?

He should have given it to Sally last night and gotten rid of Aras.
Aras is his only real competition.
Last night he knew the other 6 were going to vote for Sally, so he knew that Aras would get voted off if he gave the idol to Sally because Sall and him voted for Aras, giving Aras 2 votes.

I don't think Terry is going to win every challenge until the end because they
are going to have challenges where his strength and athletic ability doesn't matter.
They're going to have a challenge with just questions. Either about the other tribe members or about Panama.
I just hope they don't have a challenge where they break plates with tribe members names on it. The person whose 3 plates get broken are eliminated.
The 6 Casaya members will just get Terry out 1st.
I think they will have this challenge forcing Terry to use his idol.

Terry is doing exactly what I said he needed to do 3 weeks ago - run the table (with the luxury of 1 slip-up). He tried to swing people over and it hasn't worked, so he's had little other choice. Without any kind of numbers, he has to hold to that idol.

I also hope they don't have one of those stupid plate challenges - or at least not for an IC.

He's trying to convince some of the people to ally with him. Showing them the HII is his way of confirming that he has the HII. But after Bruce, Courtney, Danielle all turned down his final 4 proposal, he probably decided to hold on to the HII for his own use since saving Sally this week will only delay him or Sally from being eliminated by one week. So he's going to hold on to the HII to use for himself.

You mean like last night's? he didn't seem to have a problem winning that and it certainly didn't require strenght or that much athletic ability.

Ditto. Don't compete if you're gonna cry on national TV like that.

The guy is well rounded -- strength, athletic, and smart. The dude found the HI in 20 minutes. The other brain deads couldn't figure out the clues.

Terry is like having an older Navy Seal competing in the game of Survivor. The only problem is that he's the anti-Tom when it comes to the numbers at the merge, so the societal aspect of the game could go against him should he make it to the final two.

I think if Terry makes the final-2, he's a lock to win. Let's remember that even though there are 6 from one tribe, they don't really like each other to begin with.

Terry is the man I nearly hit the roof when he won the immunity challenge for a 3rd week in a row. Courtney is nuts if she thinks she can beat Terry, goodbye Sally you were a great player.

Terry's final two speech:

"I kicked all y'all's asses for 39 days, now show me the money!!!"

Props to Mr Probst for calling out Danielle(?) when she said Terry was being cocky. Asking her if they were being cocky by not competing in the challenge and stuffing their faces.

Swimming doesn't require strength or ability ?
Sally was out of the challenge before it began.

I agree and have been rooting for Terry since day one.
But if they have a challenge where they ask questions about other survivors, he could loose.
If they have a contest where they have to just solve a puzzle without any physical acivity at all, he could loose.
If they have a challenge where they break each other's plates, he will loose !

I'm saying he shouls have gotten rid of his only possible competion, Aras, last night when he had the chance.

Puzzle didn't seem to slow Terry down in the last 2 ICs. Like I said, he's smart. If the guy can swim under water, remember all the pictures in the order it's in and got it right the first time, what makes you think he will not remember/know about other survivors? I think the plates challenge or similar is really the only challenge he can't control.

I burst out laughing when Courtney said she's "LOVE" to go up against Terry in the Final Two. Why? Because you're so likeable or because you've dominated so many challenges? Yeah, right...

Maybe Terry is a little too cocky and should keep that too himself, but I would think they'd still respect him for who he is and how he's played the game, more than some whiner who can spin fireballs on a string around in the air...

I was hoping Courtney would caught on fire from spinning her toy.

The plates challenge is precisely why Terry has hung on to the HII, it's the one challenge he can't control.

I'd rather keep the insurance of the idol than eliminate the stiffest competition. As you said yourself, there could be a non-physical challenge coming, and in that case, Aras wouldn't be his stiffest competition. If a plate challenge is coming, and he got rid of Aras now, Terry would be fucked as he wouldn't have the insurance of the idol.

Once he determined that he couldn't get people to swing over, Terry has taken the proper course.

I think the previews are always misleading. This is probably the week Terry loses the IC.

As some have already mentioned, I highly doubt that they'd have a "pecking order" type challenge for immunity. Though, I could see them making it for reward, just to try and shake things up amongst one or two of the six remaining contestants not named Terry.
