I am a little concerned about the change of attitude amongst the old Aitu tribe. First they got bought off by some meatloaf, chicken and biscuits (althought I kinda understand....I mean, Dude...biscuits!) and backed away from the plan to hide the food. Then from the previews for next week it looks like they are starting to turn on each other. I would so hate to see either Whitey Adam or Whitey Poverty make it into the final 2 or 3 or 4.

Awezzy winning the Imminuty was sweet. That challenge looked like a bitch full of bruises.

I was surprised to see that Jonathan got made into sausage balls ;) .

I have a feeling that the previews were just showing Ozzy considering his options. He'd be a fool not to, but I don't think he'll turn on Yul just yet, and maybe never. I think taking a Whitey to the final two would be a mistake. They would have too many votes on the jury.

I'd like to think Ozzy would be smarter than that, too, but remember episode 2? It takes an idiot to throw a challenge when you only have five people to begin with. I'm getting nervous about the tribe's position, too. I said to the person I was watching the episode with last night, "I can't remember an alliance that's ever been like this before, where there's absolutely no way you're going to break them up, and everyone knows, so no one tries." And then I found myself eating my words at the previews for next week.

Adam and his dad together are chilling. Dye Adam's hair gray, and I honestly can't tell the difference. And when Sundra's mom came running out, I had flashbacks to Rebecca during challenges.

I like it that Yul finally outright stabbed someone in the back. Glad to see he's willing to do that if he needs to. Makes him go up a few notches in my mind after last week's rather sorry display.

I miss Jonathon already. He made the season so interesting. I'd love for them to do a second All Stars so we can see what he's like playing against people who don't get pissed off at others for simply playing the game. I'd love to see Jonathon vs. Boston Rob vs. Fairplay. I loved his final statement: "So now they'll have to sit around and start stabbing each other in the back, as if that's a new addition to the game of Survivor."

I think Probst knows about Awezzy's porn past. His comentary about the pole and is the pole going to be long enough or strong enough?:blushing:

Then the swim trunks...think the producers snuck that little bit of eye candy in there? Oz was just poetry in motion during that challenge. I will watch it over and over again.:wub:

Sorry to see Johnny Blue eyes go. He really was a class act and all cleanned up he was HOT!

LOL when I saw Sundra's mom come running out I was thinking how she could also be Cami's mom...I laughed also when they started the "hide the food" only to find out that the others had brought them some great food.

I thought it was a production trick with the food. Just when Ozzy gets tired of feeding them (You know he climbed the tree for the coconuts along with all the fish he catches) They bring back a huge feast, and proceeded to eat along too!

In the clips at CBS they showed the families at camp and Yul and Ozzy built a shelter so that the parents could sleep with the loved ones under the tarps. I don't fault them for making a half assed gesture at hiding the food. They just threw some coconuts out of sight.

Nice to see that I'm not the only Jonathan fan in da house. He was the recipient of a lot of inaccurate, unfair criticism. I wanted him and his wife to win that crazy blindfold bucket challenge. That would've been beautiful. He was the only one who's lover came to visit on the island.

PS- Remember the Terry/Aras fight about "You can't love your mom as much as I love my wife." Good times. Great oldies. Big D 103.

I love Jonathan as well, wish he was still in the game, will miss him . Such a smart and entertaining guy. Cant believe Adam had the nerve to talk to him the way he did. I hope he realizes most of the viewers think he's an idiot and that he definitly doesnt deserve to be in the game at this point.

I came across a site amiannoying.com and found some interesting info. I believe only the bootees are on it. Go and vote!!!

Out of 3027 votes, 80.38% think Candice Woodcock is annoying.

Out of 735 votes, 79.32% think Nate Gonzales is annoying.

Out of 1149 votes, 29% think Jonathan Penner is annoying.

I really hope it's just a misdirection to lead us to believe that Ozzie may turn on the Aitu's. Adam REALLY has to go first. Yul and Ozzie should both realize that their chances of winning individual immunity increase exponentially if they leave themselves with all the girls.

I liked Jonathan, too. The only thing that disappointed me about him was, as a writer, I thought he'd be more articulate and expressive in his arguments. But he sort of relied on the "oh, really" comeback a little too much. I would have loved to have seen him tear Candace, Parvati and/or Adam a new one with one of those intelligent, biting monologues we don't see much of anymore on TV (a la Julia Sugarbaker).

Idiots. "Jonathan makes us uncomfortable, so we're going to vote him off!" Idiots. If Ozzy flips next week, Aitu will have got what's coming to them for making a stupid move based on likeability over strategy.

I wasn't a fan of Johnny Boy, but I think they should have kept him around. I think it would have been easier to win with him in the finally two. I will miss him because I don't have anyone to tell my hubby I can't stand during the next show. I don't pay enough attention to A&P.

I was a big Jonathan fan, too, and sorry to see him go, and think the Aitu's are just as bad as he was by turning on the guy who saved them.

Plus, he's everybody's wet dream to take to the final two. Come on, everyone except Yul really needs Jonathan to win. Let's start thinking and assume that Aitu isn't going to get stupid and let Adam or Parvati make it to the final two, and think about Yul. Who beats him in a vote? I am thinking only Ozzie has a chance. The girls were carried by him and they will lose in a nearly unanimous vote. Only Oz has a prayer against him, and I think that's remote - so, Yul can get by without Jonathan.

Now, of the rest, they would have to seriously pray that they don't face Yul, so throwing out the best #2 in the game, is a really rotten move for them. And, not getting rid of Adam when presented with the opportunity was a dumb, dumb move. It is not inconceivable that Adam could run the table, Terry-like, and end up in the final two. Of course, Parvati will be gone, so who's he going to take - not Yul, and not Ozzie - Sundra or Becky, who will be seen as Yul leechers, with Adam getting all the votes from his old team, and then, Jonathan could be the swing vote he needs. How sweet of revenge would that be for Jonathan????

since the season finale is this Sunday 11/17, doesn't that mean that they will vote out 2 people in this Thursday's TC? They always go into the finale with the final 4.

I was just gonna say that. I was really surprised to see that the finale for Survivor was happening already. Does this mean I'm getting old? It seems like it just started.

If Adam or Parvati makes it to the finals, it would be such a disappointing end to good season. They are both so lame.

I was kind of disappointed that they voted Jonathan off the island. I know he annoyed them, but he wasn't much of a threat to win immunity. Adam could possibly win the next 2 immunity challenges, and then the real scheming and backstabbing will begin. If they had kept Jonathan, Ozzy, Yul, Becky and Sundra could have gone to the final four very easily.

I totally agree with everything you said. They should have gotten rid of Adam when they had the chance - he could feasibly win the remainder of the immunity challenges. I think this was a huge mistake - you should never, never, never vote emotionally!! Voting out Adam would have been a better strategic move, in my opinion.

Scout from Vanuatu is a family friend, and she says they're going into the finale with 5 this season. So maybe that means they really are doing a final 3 with a jury of 9, but that still leaves the door open for a 3-3-3 tie. It's the second most mysterious island on TV.

Then I'll be nice and not say what I still think of her following her season.

this info (along with some others from the finale) is now posted in the Newsgasm section, so even though I had heard it mentioned before- now i know it's true. The thing I don't like about a final 3 going to the jury vote is that it could lead to a 3 way or 2 way tie. How are they going to break a tie to win a million dollars? Build fire? That would suck HARD!:mad:

I bet they do something stupid like America casts the tiebreaking vote. Or they'd bring back Stephenie or Rupert or one of "our favorite Survivors" to cast the deciding vote. Hopefully they just let Probst decide.

I just can't wait until Thursday!!! But if one of those Rarotards gets into the final 3 and wins it...I think I will scream so loud they will hear me in Russia. My all out hope is the Aitu4 stays true and Ozzy and Yul take the prize. I don't care which.

Speaking of Ozzy, my new pretend boyfriend. Here are my theories on him. He moved a lot as a kid, something like 10 times in his teen years. That is so hard on a kid. I had to do it twice and it is hard to make new friends. Sometimes only the outcasts are welcoming, the cool kids never are. That's why Flicka and Cowboy meant so much too him. Plus he did that adventure last year from Panama to San Diego for 5 months. At his age after being alone that long he would probably want some ass. And he got it. On camera.

Well I'm rooting for him but think Yul has this game in hand.

Probst says, "this final five had the highest IQs of any final five." That has to mean that Adam's gone this next episode. Including Adam in anything makes the collective IQ drop to rock bottom. Although with Adam gone, I'll have no one to root against in the finale. Kind of like why the Amazing Race sucked once the BQ's left - there was no one to root for. Burnett says he "might be more clever than we think," but we all know that's just so he doesn't piss Adam off. He claims Candice is "near genius," but that Adam was her Achilles Heel. Before the mutiny, I would have agreed. But with the display she put on (aside from "to weasel, in this case, is a verb") post-merge, I just don't see it.

If its the final five IQ's we are discussing, Let me add. Ozzy has been the new kid way more than any kid should. He has amazing abilities. IF HE DOESn't win I will understand I just hope the rumer that he had a girlfriend was false,

Perhaps but that's giving Parvati way more credit than she deserves. The fuggin' googly eyes between Adam and Candace when she rolled out looking clean and shiny was beyond cheesy.
