I don't like Jonathon either, but at least he was thinking. He did the best thing for him, which is the whole point of the game. I had to laugh at the previews for next week, as

Pistol Pete

Yul is one of the smartest players ever on Survivor. Unfortunately he also has a huge target on his back. Ozzy is the other target, but he's superhuman. I wonder how this is going to play out.

I loved the look on Parvati's face. In an instant she went from smug certainty to trying to determine if she is first, second, or third to go at this point. It couldn't happen to a more deserving manipulative bitch.

On the upside, I bet she does Playboy before the end of 2007. Maybe Candice will join her to pay off her med school loans.

I have a question about how the hidden immunity work. Can the person with hidden immunity give it to another person after the vote is revealed? Or does the person has to decide who to give the immunity before the vote? I'm just wondering why Jonathan didn't try to convince his tribe to vote out Becky or Sundra (Ozzy won the immunity challenge so he can't be voted out) so Yul wouldn't know who to give the hidden immunity to.

Red Dog

Yeah, I really didn't know why Jonathan didn't pursue this course. This was best way to avoid having pissed off everyone in the game.

Regardless, this was the first time this season (which has been a snooze-fest) that I was riveted by an episode.

Red Dog

I'm guessing that you must physically possess the Idol at the time the vote is revealed.

Jeff: And the next person voted out is ... Becky!

Yul: Look everyone! There's a bunch of naked Island women standing over there!

*Yul quickly exchanges the HII to Becky*

Yul: Sorry ... they must've gotten scared and run away.

Becky: Look what I have! *pulls out the HII*

Totally agree. Last night things started getting interesting. If they can keep this up the next few weeks, this season might not be a total loss.

Loved this episode! Johnathan made the right play I think..though either way he went, he's #5 in a 5 person alliance. Would have been interesting if he would have went ahead and voted for Yul though...then he could have flushed out the Idol and Nate still goes home. Can just go ahead and pencil in Yul into the final 4 now. Between his alliance and the Idol, he's not going anywhere for a while.

Can't wait for next week's show!

GuessWho

He's vying to be the runner up.


And that's fine--2nd place money is better than no money.

Being the final's sacrificial lamb with 0% chance to win still is financially better than being voted out now.

Well, my theory in last episode's post was shot due to the merge, but I'm relatively happy w/ the outcome in this one.

As much as I wanted either Adam or Candace to go home, I'm perfectly fine with Nate. Like I said, I don't know why so many people liked him or thought he was "harmless." I said before that I thought he was condescending and smug and this episode was priceless. He's also very very stupid, considering the fact that he thought that "me, parvartii, and adam definitely have a strong alliance. I don't know about Jonathan and Candace. They're on the outside." Or something along those lines. How stupid can you be to not see that Adam and Candace have the strongest alliance? He also said something about loyalties to his "original tribe" referring to raro before the merge and mutiny - uumm, didn't he see THREE of his "original" tribemates get booted out by the White people? Someone that stupid had to go home.

davidh777

And judging by his performance so far, we can guess how that'll go.

Agreed. He should have seen what happened at the last council and hooked up with Ozzy at the first opportunity.

Hmm, I recorded the Early Show today for the Survivor interview but I guess that's on Monday instead.

Steam

Yul was on the poll spouting off random mass and elephant facts but they couldn't entertain the possibility that he could find the idol in the "little amount of time" that he was there? AND they were voting him off because he's smart. Brilliant just brilliant. No wonder Jonathon did what he did. Why even bother playing the game with such morons? Adam is too busy talking about how there is two sides of him to cuddle with to even think a coherent strategy. Parvati is too busy flashing her extra teeth and thinking up a new angry look for Tribal Council while Candice is too busy letting downstairs dictate her gameplay in a game that pays $1,000,000 to the winner. That brings me to Nate. The guy's lines were so full of himself and downright silly that I did have to laugh at his ouster. His Jonathon tirade was great too since he should blame himself and the rest of the idiots on his tribe for their own shortsightedness. Jonathon probably would have stuck with them if they at least thought about the possibility of Yul having the idol. Just awesome the way it worked out.

About next week's show:

Steam

I also thought about what you said that if he voted for Yul to flush the idol AND get rid of Nate but then realized that it wouldn't have been a good move for him since he would almost certainly get all four votes from Aitu and then would have to square off against Yul or Ozzy in a competition (fire or whatever they have this goaround) to save his fate and that of his tribe (provided of course that he doesn't win immunity). Not really feasible on his side.

It was also a strong move for him to switch because if he lasts to Final 5 (and at this point I don't see Aitu sellling him out, they will want Adam gone next, don't trust Candice at all, and I doubt they will get suckered into the wiles of Parvati's "charms", the only chance they will have is if Ozzy gets desparate) he has a better chance at swinging Final 3 by latching onto either Yul/Becky or Ozzy/Sundra that he would of doing the same with Candice/Adam & Nate/Parvati. At least Yul and Ozzy think about the game. Once Jonathon gets to the Final 3 anything can happen. Well, besides for winning endgame but still..

mytzplyx

I don't know what will happen, but what I do know is that I will be very very very very disappointed if any of the "Aitu 4" flip and go to Adam/Candice/Pavartti.

zuffy

I would LOVE to see Parvati do Playboy and I can see her doing it too.

TyroneJordan

No wonder Adam is in Copier Sales. He was probably one of the good-looking but stupid jocks who would never amount to anything.

I wish Ozzy gets the money. He's a waiter, and $500,000 might even let him retire.

cdollaz

Half a million wouldn't go very far at his age.

Bill Needle

As opposed to Ozzy, who amounted to a waiter?

LiquidSky

Nate bitching about Jonathan. Nate did the same damn thing to Brad a few weeks ago.



I like both Yul and Ozzie but find myself rooting a little more for Ozzy.

LiquidSky

As long as she covers that horse mouthed grin.

magiccmom

Next immunity challenge is walking on fire while skinning a bird. I pick Ozzy to win this.

Dr. Henry Jones, Jr.

aren't they all really actors?

GuessWho

Jonathan's the only "official" actor

Dr. Henry Jones, Jr.

well that's surprising with so many of the people this season being from Los Angeles.

Jeremy517

He might be the only actor listed on IMDB, but I read somewhere that almost all of the contestants this year already had SAG cards. I think some of the people already out were on IMDB (for something other than Survivor) also.
