That ep description give way too much away. :eek:

Re: Survivor: Samoa - 12/17/09
 

Brett's a goner. Now that we finally learned his name last week, it's his turn to get the boot.

Here's the real episode description for anyone interested:

This has been my favorite season since the show started. The only way it could be any better is for Russell to actually win. My money is on him or Natalie, no one else deserves it.

Re: Survivor: Samoa - 12/17/09
 

The season isn't over yet.

Re: Survivor: Samoa - 12/17/09
 

The obvious play here is Brett. If he wins immunity again, they need to eliminate Natalie.

I'm thinking Russell's only chance at winning is going to the final 3(or 2) with Shambo and Jaison. Everyone (probably) hates Russell, and he's not nearly good enough with words to convince them to vote for him. If he's up against Brett or Natalie, they win hands down.

Re: Survivor: Samoa - 12/17/09
 

OK, I'll say it since no one else has yet...

Who's Brett?

Re: Survivor: Samoa - 12/17/09
 

I think it's funny Russell's gotten some votes. I'm pretty sure this is his last chance to play the immunity idol, so he will for sure, keeping him safe no matter what, right?

Re: Survivor: Samoa - 12/17/09
 

I think he has 2 more chances. F5 is the last opportunity.

Re: Survivor: Samoa - 12/17/09
 

I think that's correct. I'd love for him to win the immunity challenge to see what he does with the HII.

Re: Survivor: Samoa - 12/17/09
 

I just can't see Russell winning this, as much as I've grown to love him. It will probably be some coattail hanger on like Natalie or under the radar like Brett....blah. :(

Re: Survivor: Samoa - 12/17/09
 

So, am I missing something? One voted out tonight leaves 5 contestants left. Two voted out in the finale followed by a final three or three voted out in the finale followed by a final two?

Re: Survivor: Samoa - 12/17/09
 

I'd argue that Natalie has played the best complete game of anyone.

Re: Survivor: Samoa - 12/17/09
 

Right. Probably two voted out in the finale followed by a final 3. Then CBS can run their same promos with the "THREE TRIBAL COUNCILS!" hype.

Re: Survivor: Samoa - 12/17/09
 

Yet he's been able to get nearly every single person voted out by convincing people with words.

Re: Survivor: Samoa - 12/17/09
 

I never would have believed you at the beginning of the season if you'd told me Shambo would be in the final 6. Brett goes home.

Re: Survivor: Samoa - 12/17/09
 

:lol: at Russell's souvenier.

The rope/coconut challenge was really cool.

Monica was looking really good on that jury.

Re: Survivor: Samoa - 12/17/09
 

Russell should have given the immunity idle to Shambo.

Re: Survivor: Samoa - 12/17/09
 

Beats throwing it into the fire!

Jeff: "If you have the immunity necklace...hanging around your neck.." :lol:

Re: Survivor: Samoa - 12/17/09
 

Jeff was really funny tonight. How about him making fun of Shambo in the middle of the challenge? "So, your hair. What do you call that again?"

Re: Survivor: Samoa - 12/17/09
 

Great episode. Brett is a little bitch boy though.

Re: Survivor: Samoa - 12/17/09
 

Jeff with the ruthless commentary on Shambo's hair..."23 years. Now that's commitment to a hair style."

Ouch.

Re: Survivor: Samoa - 12/17/09
 

Semper Fi Shambo!

Re: Survivor: Samoa - 12/17/09
 

I'm pretty surprised they voted out Shambo over Mick. All I can figure is that Jaison was pretty convinced it would be better to keep Mick to try and beat Brett. If he didn't want to back down from that, Russell would go with it.

Shambo didn't even hold anything against them either. Classy way to go out.

Re: Survivor: Samoa - 12/17/09
 

I thought it was more like a clueless way to go out. Much like the way she and many others have played the whole game.

Unless we're missing a lot because of editing, only if Brett wins his way into the final 3 can I possibly think of someone who has a real case against Russell.

If Brett doesn't make the final 3 and Russ does but doesn't win...he will have been robbed by a jury that isn't thinking about the best player, but about who's nicer.

Russell isn't the superman so many people make him out to be, but I love and respect how hard he plays the game. However it doesn't hurt that he's got a lot of clueless and gutless competitors.

If Natalie wins, I'll go nuts. I have nothing against her, but the "my strategy was to be nice and act like I wasn't a threat and then let Russell do the dirty work" is so lame.

Re: Survivor: Samoa - 12/17/09
 

The only way I'm going to be completely happy with the outcome of this is if Russell wins. I mean, we know he is a shoe-in for the fan favorite vote, but I want him to win it all as well.
