That would be the greatest f3 ever but it happening might mean the world would end but I am still rooting for it.

Ditto, I thought Sabrina was the "real" #2 and the others were just sock puppets. Maybe she was and Kim no longer needs a number 2 (or maybe Survivor is misleading us as usual).

I'm sorry... did Kat say she's calling the shots? Did I hear her correctly??

The wild pig was the only part of this episode I enjoyed.

I really didn't think so before last night's episode.

But when Sabrina point-blank told her "We're throwing 2 votes your way, just in case Troyzan has the idol"...lol. She was perfectly okay with that. Either she knew Troy *definitely* didn't have an idol, or she just couldn't comprehend. After the reward challenge, she should have. Sad.

I call bullshit on the pig. That's no wild pig. It was practically trained.

She's one of the most passive people they've had on, I think.

I don't know... maybe people like Kim and Boston Rob are just really good at snowing people, but I have a hard time believing that everyone thinks they're "number two." You're out there on an island 24/7 with nothing to do but interact with the people you're competing against. I can't imagine that these people wouldn't start picking up a lot of cues on just where sit on the totem pole.

12 hours and 46 minutes have gone by since the show aired and still no gif of Chelsea lubing herself up? Embarrassing.

I don't care what anyone says, i'm rooting for Christina and her incredible "assets". Best female survivor cast of all time.

Yeah. For all the whining about bringing back former players and Redemption Island, I enjoyed the last several seasons far more than this one.

Even a revelations/pecking order reward challenge couldn't shake the inevitability up.

Christina might be the dumbest Asian person ever.

What's hilarious is that there was no point to the slip and slide except to have the girls glisten. They could only slide about 1/3 of the way down and it really didn't make a difference in the outcomes.

Kat frustrated that people don't think she's running the game. What an idiot.

Sabrina telling Christina that they were going to throw a couple of votes in her direction in case Troyzan had an idol, but she wasn't in danger. What an idiot.

Christina having no clue that this meant she could be in danger. What an idiot.

Alicia indicating she's a teacher and wondered if it's possible to have a zero IQ. What an idiot.

Tarzan... I don't need to say anymore.

Troyzan completely boned himself by voting for Christina. He should have worked endlessly to corerce Kat to vote for either Chelsea, Sabrina or the disgusting chick. He could have formed a powerful alliance that way. By voting Christina he divided the votes three ways, completely wasted Tarzan's vote and had NO chance of staying alive.

I realize, after having typed this that Kat is a moron and will probably finish 3rd or 4th by default either way.

Agree completely. There's just no justification, no matter how dumb you are, to follow along like a lost puppy dog...if I was playing the game, post-merge I would be making damn sure I'm calling the shots one way or another, because you simply cannot trust anybody in this game. You do it diplomatically, but good lord the way these people are following the leader instead of trying to control their own destiny these last few seasons has just gotten ridiculous.

Me, too. In past seasons, I would have been happy for the contestants to have found some food. This time, I was rooting for the pig to get away. It definitely seemed like Troyzan was half-assing it trying to catch the pig. I loved how he explained how the girls thought they would be able to eat the pig. It probably isn't too far from the truth. They are pretty dumb.

That was the best thing Troyzan could have done with his vote. He found out they were splitting the vote and Christina was one of the votes against him, but she was switching her vote to Chelsea. That leaves 6 votes that are being split between Troyzan and Christina. If Kim had decided to split the votes 4-3 (4 going to Tarzan), then Troyzan's vote for Christina would have worked perfectly. Instead, Kim split the votes 5-2 and sealed Troyzan's fate.

I'm not sure what you mean by saying he completely wasted Tarzan's vote. Tarzan has been voting with Kim since the tribe's merged. In last week's episode, he even told Troyzan to his face that he was trying to get him out.

Exactly why he should have really focused his attention on swaying Kat -- she was already disenchanted with Kim from the reward challenge. Like others have said, this cast is mostly stupid and ball-less (no pun intended).

It was a long shot, but I would have picked up on the fact that Kat wants so much to be seen as a strong player and a leader rather than a follower. I would have approached her and asked, "Who do you want to vote out? What should the plan be?"

He was trying to sway Kat for several days. We even saw him trying last week. I think when someone refuses to talk to you, tells you to shut up, and walks away, you must know things are not going your way.

Even if Kat had flipped, Troyzan would have still gone home. If her vote was supposed to be one of the Christina votes, then Troyzan would still be voted out 4-3-1. If she was meant to be a Troyzan vote and switched, all she would do is cause a tie (3-3-2). They would revote and those two votes for Christina would turn into votes for Troyzan. He's gone either way.

Troyzan played it as best as he possibly could in his situation.

I know I'm in the minority, but Alicia lubed up

I haven't watched survivor since the first season, but flipped the channel waiting for Modern Family, saw her in her leopard bikini bottoms, and have been watching ever since.

Releasing tame pigs has been occasionally happening (allegedly) on Survivor since season two.

Also, at playing Sheep for the reward challenge. Jeff did a poor job of explaining it to viewers though.

Troy agrees that this is the dumbest cast ever.

I wouldn't say Jerri Manthey was tame. Maybe when she returned for All-Stars.

Yep, definitely a "planted" pig by the producers...which is probably why it didn't get killed.
