Guess I didnt completely understand why Yul had to confirm his possession of the Immuntity Idol. I know at this point there probably would be no reason that he will be using it in the future, but I think it would have been to his advantage not to throw all his cards on the table. The 3 stooges still didnt believe Jonathan even after he told them Yul had it.

Teeth: "Yeah, it looks authentic."

I just found that comment funny.

I was actually hoping Jonathan would be able to bid for the chance to drown Parvati in that tub.

That may have been the best episode ever. I love how all of the morons get on their high horse once they realize they are no longer in control. Suddenly everyone else is a rat.

Yul was kinda stupid for confirming the idol. I have the Poverty bitch.

Playing it smart Yul should try to take Jonathan to the final 2 with him.

Down with the White Alliance. It's great how they've stabbed everybody that they were supposedly with and now don't like it when it comes back around.

Pretty entertaining episode, can't wait for more meltdowns. Wonder if Poverty will now make her move on Adam with Exile gone to the jury.

Povwhorety showed just how clueless she is tonight when she asked Becky why she needed the power thing that was being auctioned...um...Hello stupid, you're playing for a million dollars...which is worth more...more power or a possible cheeseburger...dumb bitch.

Never fails to amaze me that people in this game get pissed at those that actually play the game (those that lie, deceive, betray, etc. etc.). It's frakking Survivor...for a million bucks...anything goes! Just because you get outplayed doesn't mean you should start acting like a little bitch and start to whine and cry about it.

About next week's:

Spoiler:
Guess we see why Povwhorety doesn't help out around camp, looks like the dumbass about cuts her finger off when she finally decides to do something

Spoiler:
Adam, Candice, and Pavarti are assholes. I was ready to gouge Pavarti's eyes out with all that bitchy eye-rolling. They didn't deserve any of the food since they were too busy playing kissy face in the tent. Fuck 'em. The three accusing Jonathan of being smug made me since that's the way they were before everything shifted against their favor.


Also, was it me or is Nate a complete tool?
It's not you. He's as much a sore loser as the rest of the children.


Thank you, Thank you...YES, they are complete (lazy) assholes... and that dumbass Nate shuckin' and jivin', what a lazy ass moron...

If this isn't a complete tool, then I don't know what is:



And who knew Adumb was a mathematical idiot savant? That was impressive -- I don't think I would've gotten more than a couple numbers right. Of course it doesn't make up for his (and Candice's) stupidity at refusing to outbid Becky for that prize that Jeff said would give power for the game. I hope editing cut out them buying something, because if they wasted all the auction money then they're bigger morons than I even thought they were. And I love Adumb's little shrug at one price as if thinking "Nope ... I gotta save me some money for later".

I thought Yul's reveal of the HII was fine. Most of the remaining tribe knew anyway, and it should keep any votes away from him until the endgame. Yul is making some missteps by talking too much, though. It could be costing him jury votes, and maybe increasing suspicion from him own alliance (esp Becky). In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Becky uses all this stuff Yul is saying to her to swipe the million right out from under him in the end.

I'm just hoping and praying that Jonathan makes the final 4 just to see Parvati keep her promise to shoot herself.

Again, I have no problem in general with romancing even in a game for a million dollars (although it sure seems stupid as it would put a big target on you that you might not have had otherwise), but only if you have the game to back it up.

Adam and Candice don't have much of anything and that is certainly, from what I can recall, the worst group of 3 (now 2) to have ever made it this far. Include Nate and it's the worst 4.

Jonathan is really taking a beating for no good reason and it's too bad he can't or won't articulate just how stupid the people are for attacking him. He had several openings to do so and he just didn't seem to have the words.

I wonder why people basically concede the final 4 to an immunity holder and don't come up with a plan to make that person give it up early. If you set it up where you get the highest number of votes for the person who has it, since Yul openly admitted it to his own alliance and to others fairly early, and have another person set up that you want out to get the second highest number. You force the idol to be played-the idol holder is likely to be a strong player-getting rid of someone you wanted gone anyway and you make the idol player have to compete like everyone else.

I don't see Becky having any chance of stealing the money for Yul if it came to that. If Yul makes it to the final 2, I only think the whole "ring leader" thing might be dangerous if he's up against Ozzy, who is probably the strongest player and can make a case to win. At this point, I don't see anyone else who can.

I will say that if Candice had come to play and not fall in love, she might have been a very good player. She was the only one that came close to beating Ozzy on the pole and she missed the final 3 by 1-2 seconds. No matter how I feel about any player, I always have given people extra points in my mind if they've been fierce in the competitions.

Ozzy's profile does seem to have dropped off a little last episode or so.

I did like the look on Becky's face when Yul was talking about how he was going for votes, she has to think that he has to get past her, although in a vote he would have to get it over her.

I don't think the others will let Yul take Jonathan with him to final 2, becky sundra and ozzy will want him gone so they are final 4. Plus they will need to make him give up the idol before then to force his hand a bit. I see adam gone next, and then Jonathan.

Good riddance to Candice. It was gross seeing her suck face with Adam when she and he probably have foul fish breathe.

I can't wait until the reunion show when Probst will probably make a huge deal on this relationship. Afterwards Candice and Adam will give the same old cliched answer "Oh, nothing happened afterwards, we're just very good friends..." Blah Blah Blah

Weird how Candice's southern accent was very pronounced after 3rd exile island. I guess whne you're stripped down to the bare minimum, everything primal arises. Just a observation

I think that first and foremost, Yul does not like to keep secrets or be deceptive - he's maybe a bit too honest for this game. But, strategically, it really does get him to the final 3 with little worries if everyone knows he has it, and you never know when you might suddenly be on the out for votes. Sure, it is possible to split a vote to use up the idol, but it really seems unlikely to even happen.

I am a huge Yul fan; I just like the way he's played the game so far. In the episode that aired last week, I was questioning his revealing of the idol to Jonathan, but he ended up playing that masterfully. Last night, I started to question him when he showed the idol to everyone, but you know what--he's in the game, and he's been smarter than me so far. I gotta give him the benefit of the doubt.

Anyone else notice how before Imunity challenges, they are standing on the line getting ready to start. When Jeff says go they run like 3 feet to the puzzle board. Jonathan does it all the time, and it makes me laugh. Your not going to get there any quicker, then if you just walked the 3 feet.
Jonathan is definately the smartest player in the game. I have been asking myself more this season then ever: "Have some of these people ever even watched a season of survivor before?" They have no idea what works and what doesnt.

they probably haven't watched it before. most of them weren't fans of the series who sent in videos.

now how funny would it be if it came time for Yul to use the HII only to find out it wasn't the real one? did Jeff ever confirm it was in fact the real deal? I don't recall that he did.

No, but Poverty did, so he's good to go.

I'm curious to see what happens when it is down to 6 to see if a 3-2-1 vote could be engineered to get the Idol out of the game.

The amount of whining on this season is epic. I like how they want to try Jonathan for crimes against humanity simply for voting against their friends and burping. OMG, what an evil monster. I really wish they had kept Candice around longer, though, so they could send her to Crybaby Island a few more times. Hilarious to watch everyone get so owned at the auction.

This is one of the best seasons I can remember.

Seems like I fall in line with all the comments here.

I can't stand the 3, but even more I don't think I can't stand Nate. I actually was hoping he could somehow get with Yul and company, before he ended up getting stabbed in the back. Since that point he's been in a freefall. I didn't get last night all the gesturing etc. If he's like that every week I'm going to have to fast forward through those parts.

Although I don't like Johnathan I"m glad he was kept around. He works hard, and like it or not thinks about what he's doing. I don't get the 3's argument they should have food shared with them, WTF did they do to deserve it, exist? Those guys make no attempt to help, or pitch in, numbers or not, you have to help out, if you want to share in the spoils. I was hoping Ozzy or somebody would jump to Johnathan's defense, but that didnt' happen, other then the vote which was good enough.

Teeth is just disgusting. Who says, I want to puke on his face? What an idiot.

I personally was hoping they would send her to the tub, when the one got got the chance to send anybody she wanted to exile island. Not sure if she wasn't a valid selection at that point, but it would have been fun. Then again I like watching Candice shrink away to nothing. She's leaving for her own good, another week and I think you would be able to see through her. Her nose was getting very mosquito like it was so thin.

Not sure why they think Johnathan is thought of as cocky because he used his money in the auction, what else are you going to do with it? I wish the group would have kept sharing so the 3 wouldn't have got even one item. That would have been funny stuff.

Assuming the Adam and teeth get voted out next, I can happily see any of the remaining people win, even Johnathan. At least they all are deserving of it. I'm hoping Ozzy wins becaus I think he would use the money most, plus he's just astounding at the challenges.

Whew. Now to wait til next week.
