Episode #9

Title:


Summary:

I hope NaOnka lets another one rip!

I guess Marty is the guy this season who should be going every time but somehow manages to stick around to, say, the final 5.

I have Marty in our Survivor game and this will be the 3rd week in a row that I think I'm done.

Hoping for a power shift or something and that Jane gets sent packing.

So many unlikeable players still remaining. Guess that's what keeps me coming back--I can usually count on being happy at the end seeing someone go home.

I would love to see Sash or Brenda get the boot.

@ Tatanka @ TC & Jane spelling Marty "Martie"


The next episode ought to be amusing. It's going to get to a point where everyone will want Tatanka around cause they'd undoubtedly win.

Sash & Brenda are retarded.

I want to see Fabio outlast them both. Their egos would be devastated.

I disagree. I thought it was a no-brainer to get rid of Marty. Sash and Brenda I think are both planning on taking Naonka to the end. Why would they piss her off? They have a nice little alliance (Jane, Kelly, Chase, & Holly)who will do exactly what they say.

Marty was playing the game, and he was playing the game hard. He may have been gunning for Jane now, but if you give him a foothold (Dan, Fabio, & Benry) and you betray the other girls too soon then you're probably next. The numbers are certainly against you.

Go Brenda!

Damnit, now I have to look at E.T. for at least one more episode. I love how she talks so much shit about how she could beat Marty in physical challenges since she won the stupid challenge last week holding the rods or whatever, yet during a real physical challenge this week she looked like a worse liability than Dan. And that is saying something.
VERY curious to see wtf is going on in that preview.

The chick who was voted out last week was looking very hot.

"I'm a humanitarian. I'm a human"

I thought the one flaw in Martys plan was pushing to take out Onkas idol. Brenda trusts Onka and seemed to be the key swing vote. Getting Onkas Idol out would not benefit her.

Unless something more is going on her and Sash were already worried about Chase and the old ladies clique.

If Marty knew how to lay low I think he still would be in the game.

This

She is the only one I really out and out hate this season.

I agree with you. I think Brenda and Sash are playing the best all-around game, with Brenda leading the way. I don't know if it's a strategy of hers, but it's very interesting how she basically gave two immunity idols she could have had to herself away to her allies. This could have been a play for trust or a way to keep the target off of her. Whatever it is, it's working so far. Their best bet is to drag NaOnka and Dan with them to the final four and then try to get one another out. Either one of them would win the vote sitting next to NaOnka and Dan.

I actually think Jane has surpassed the hatred that I have for Nay. She acts like a little child who is angry at the boy she likes because he rejected her. She has been plotting against him the entire game and is angry that he had the nerve to fight back. How dare he! He should just lay down and die. And all that pathetic talk about how she can beat him in everything was just embarrassing to listen to.

I actually think the reason Marty was voted out was because Brenda and Sash were too insecure about having somebody else "run the tribe" or show any kind of strategic power instead of them. Hopefully Benry or Fabio wins the whole thing, anybody else would be truly disappointing.

That's not insecurity, that's being smart. Marty was the only other person really doing anything proactively in the game.

I guess it depends on how you look at it. They both admitted it was a good plan but then kept reminding the viewers and each other that they were still in control of the camp despite Marty's advice. They way in which they said it came across as really insecure instead of them laughing about how they pretended to listen to his idea but were really going to vote him out.

Yep. They are running this game and I'm not sure that alliance even realizes it. They have plenty of upcoming opps to off Jane.

Chase was a total fool for not picking the guys to win.

I'll miss Marty. He was an interesting character to watch.

I think that was just them talking through the options, and the TV show only presenting them talking one way to try to have some suspense at tribal council.

When you have more than half the tribe in lock step with you, why would you keep the only other person who's actively playing the game? Marty was pretty much the only one who could engineer a coup against them, and if they had voted out Jane then they would have given NaOnka, Holly, Chase, and Kelly a reason to listen. Marty's plan was a good plan for Marty, not so much Brenda and Sash. As it stands now, I think they knock out Benry then use Jud/Fabio to blindside Chase or Jane.

I agree that I think getting rid of Marty was Brenda and Sash's best move so far. IMO, Marty and Brenda are really the two thinking about and running the game. By getting rid of Marty, as long as Brenda handles herself correctly, she and Sash can rule the game for the foreseeable future.

What was with the preview? I'm guessing that next episode either they .

I'm guessing #2.

#2 almost assuredly.

Benry? I can understand wanting Jud to win. He seems like a good guy and is pretty funny. Benry just seems like a skeevy asshole.
