Yeah, the second Abi started getting nasty at tribal, it was obvious Skupin told her she was gone. Abi basically had the game handed to her by Jeff but through relentless arrogance and stupidity, gave the game away. Seriously one of the most socially inept fucktards to ever play the game.

Did you watch LAST season...every player was like that.

I've actually reversed my position from the last thread, and I now think there will be a Final 2.

I did this for one reason. To the best of my recollection, there have always been two eliminations on the Sunday finale episode (with one exception). That is, when it's a Final 3 season, the Sunday episode starts with 5 players. When it's a Final 2 season, the Sunday episode starts with 4 players. We have 4 players now, so I'm pretty confident that we have a Final 2 season. The only exception I can remember was the bloated Season 2 Australia finale, when they had 3 players start the Sunday episode for a final 2.

The only catch is that Final 2 has always been 7 jury members, except one season when it was 8. This season would be 9 jury members for a Final 2, but I think that's a more likely possibility than them only one elimination on Sunday.

Final 3 has been confirmed on the ponderosa videos

For once I'll be fine with any of the final group winning the big bucks.

This.

Just watched all the Ponderosa videos ... where was this said? And this is just what the players are saying, not the producers. I guess we won't know until Sunday, but like Todd B points out having a single elimination on the 2-hour finale would be weird. Though it wouldn't be a bad change to devote more time to the final tribal council (which I think have been getting the short end, especially in these 3-person matchups).

RC is really insufferable in these videos. Going off on arrogant rants, demanding apologies from everyone. Amazingly, she makes Abi-Maria come off as level-headed. Love Pete walking behind her as she rants at Abi ...

Not trying to defend RC but when a bitch tells you you're a piece of shit and all kind of nasty, it's hard not to hold any grudges. Sure it's a game, but why be so nasty to someone?

Abi-Maria was just grating in this episode.

at her calling Skupin an idiot and moron. Was she still bitter about not getting on that reward?

For the most part, the final 4 is pretty likeable and I fine with any of them winning. However, Lisa is probably the weakest of them all. Hasn't won a challenge and she's pretty physically inept. Plus IMO she has mostly been piggy backing off others and not really done much strategy.

The editing has gone out of their way multiple times to show Lisa is the brains behind the Lisa-Michael duo,has shown him as feckless and the only times people have opined on him in confessionals its been negative. I would be surprised if he got more then a single vote.

This is OT, but Probst's talk show is laying off producers. I'm guessing he's going to have a lot more time to devote to Survivor next year.

I think it was a massively stupid move of Malcom to win immunity when he had the HI idol to play. He just solidified his Immunity Challenge credentials and really wasn't in much of a risk of Abi winning anyway.

Josh-da-man

Were I Malcom I would considered slipping Abi my HII, and let her take out one of the other three.

It then becomes less competition for him going into the final four if she took out Denise of Skup.

Oh, and at Penner giving the finger during tribal council.

Glad to see someone else is watching the Ponderosa videos.

RC is totally bitter grapes, not that I mind seeing her rip into Abi, cause she's a dumpster fire herself. Jeff Kent seems to just be keeping to himself there as well, hasn't said much in the videos.
