I'm thinking, at this point, all of them want to take either Natalie or Alexis to the (presumably) final 3. It's definitely easy to point out that they just got that far purely because the favorites chose to keep them around. It was probably just a matter of them thinking who would be harder to defeat at it and who would be less likely to win immunity. Natalie has at least blatantly stabbed Jason in the back, so there's one person unlikely to vote for her (although she probably could've convinced the moron that she was still his friend). Alexis, on the other hand, was voted unanimously to be the "most honest" in the reward challenge.

Oh, and I loved that Parvati was unanimously voted "mistakenly thinks they're in control of the game". That one really has to sting.

I agree that Cirie probably would have been a better target to vote off, problem is I don't think Parv would have went there. So Natalie still would have been better to vote off.

Even though most of her annoying bitchy shit has happened in the one on one to the camera, it still would have made sense to get rid of her over the injured one. Then next week get rid of Eric if they can, if not throw Alexis back there and you're into the final four. Thought I heard Amanda mentioned voting Natalie to Parv, so wonder what changed there.

At this point, the jury is mostly favs on there, if Amanda makes it into the finals, she'll win for sure. Maybe Parv and Cirie will railroad Amanda if they can before then.

i think that if erik can make it to the final three by winning immunity, he will win the game.

i hope that they don't change the immunity challenges to make them less physical, now that he's the only guy.

i couldn't believe that the girls didn't all start shooting at natalie's bottles...

poor james. hopefully he'll get a third shot at this, but i definitely see him winning the fan favorite again.

[Regime]

argh James leaving sucks

Well I liked Erik but I think I will root for Amanda.

Great play with the HII.

[Brutul Tarew Marr]

Great episode although the part with James sucked. His only consolation is that he probably wouldn't have lasted past the next TC anyway unless he beat Eric in the immunity challenge.

I was surprised that Parvati seems genuinely loyal to Amanda. I don't really see any angle for here going to F3 with her other than loyalty cause I don't think she would win unless Amanda goes all squishy like she did last time. It will be interesting to see who tries to ally with Eric because I think this week may have been their best chance to beat him for immunity and they couldn't do it.

I have been disappointed with Amanda this season but she rocked this week. Between volunteering for exile island, digging that HUGE trench looking for the clue, and doing an awesome acting job to fool everyone into thinking she didn't have it, if she wins the money this year, she deserves it just for this week IMO. That was definitely the best play with the immunity idol I've ever seen. I thought she was crazy telling Parv about it but apparently Parv really does have her back. Maybe Parv figures she can't win at this point and is trying to help Amanda get the money. I don't see any other way that keeping Amanda there is a smart move for Parv or anyone else.

Not sure I agree that booting Natalie would have been smarter than Alexis. Even though the super-bitch edit that she's been getting probably exaggerates how the tribe feels about her, I can't really imagine anyone being less popular with the tribe than her so I think she's a good pick to take to the end. Alexis wasn't winning any immunity challenges with her injured knee, but she is just a whole lot more likable than Natalie.

I think Amanda and Parv *HAVE* to convince Erik that his only chance for getting to F3 is with them cause if he sides with Cerie and Nat and Amanda doesn't win immunity then she's going home for sure.

[Brutul Tarew Marr]

I just watched the tribal council voting online and Cerie said "this doesn't mean anything, all part of the plan" when she put her vote for Amanda in. Could she have known about the HII but still voted for Amanda to keep Natalie and Erik guessing? I really didn't expect the Parvati, Amanda, Cerie alliance to hold up to the end but if they are all still sticking to it then Natalie and Erik's only hope is pretty much to win the final two immunity challenges. I don't really see that as a smart move on their part but I'm starting to think it might be a possibility.

[Teger]

Fuck Natalie. I hope that bitch goes next

[Sean]

I really hope Amanda wins this shit and I absolutely cannot stand Cirie or Natalie, fucking hate them.

[Zest]

Unless Amanda and Erik are the next two to go, it'll be one of them. They both have guaranteed jury votes, and they're both still there despite the rest of the tribe wanting to get rid of them.

And Alexxis went because Amanda is afraid of her getting to F3. She's a motivational speaker. People actually pay to listen to her talk.

Right now it seems to be the battle of the idiots vs Amanda and Cirie.

Idiot #1 Natalie (No looks and no brains):

Ok first off remember when Natalie thought that she was so badass and was making all these crazy comments like how deadly she is in the game. She really blows. She had 1 episode where she was given power by the other players and she used it to look good but she was really just being played. Her whole game is to fly under the radar, and she really blows at that. The 2 people pulling all the strings are Amanda and Cirie. ALL OF NATALIE's STRATS WERE GIVEN TO HER BY AMANDA AND CIRIE, she is a pawn who thinks she is good. The other 3 are just pawns who have no clue.

Idiot #2 Pavarati (all looks and no brains):

Pavarati was sooooo bad at the immunity challenge it made me think she had found the HII. When Jeff comments how bad you are at a challenge you know you suck. It was as if she didn't try cause she had the HII, I mean come on nobody can suck that bad at digging in the sand. Speaking of the HII, Pavariti sun bathing on exile made me laugh at what a fuckin airhead she is. They didn't even show her looking for immunity, I hope she spent some time looking for it. To just sunbathe in the final 5 after 4 blindsides in a row is just plain stupid. "A mini vacation" lol airhead. She can't be that stupid can she? I know her whole strat is to flirt with guys and the only guy left is Eric, but use a few braincells.


Idiot #3 Eric (King of the idiots): I can't believe how dumb Eric was. He basically LET Amanda tell him to take her to the reward and put Pavarati on Exile. What is this guy thinking? Parv and Amanda have been in an alliance since day 1. And Amanda saying "You are my best friend" to Eric was classic. Eric got so played. The fact is Eric can't beat Amanda right now nobody can maybe just Cirie. And he is letting Natlie hear his strat and playing all sides of the fence. Hasn't this guy watched Survivor before? You can't play all the sides you will get busted. Eric messed up so many times. He should have either volenteered himself to go to Exile even though he won or let Cirie go. Cirie wouldn't find it she is too lazy. At least Eric won the immunity challenge, that was the first thing he did right all night.

okay onto the biggest idiot moment in HISTORY: HOW THE FUCK CAN ERIC EVEN THINK ABOUT GIVING UP HIS IMMUNITY IDOL!!!!! DON'T DO IT MAN!!!! How was he walking around pacing and seriously thinking of it? GUARENTEED FINAL 4 didn't it say that in the challenge? Why even think about giving that up? No wonder this guy is an icecream scooper irl.
Anyways my title for Eric is:
BIGGEST FUCKING IDIOT IN SURVIVOR HISTORY!!!
I can't fucking believe he gave up Immunity. I am speechless. I never knew that anyone could be that fucking stupid?

Pav said it best:
"You officialy go down as the dumbest survivor ever in the history of survivor ever"

Or maybe James:
"I've lost my reign as dumbest survivor ever!"

I really hope that it is "a life lesson" as Jeff said.




The final is Sunday. I can't wait this season has been fantastic.

[Xenrauk]

I think we just saw.... the dumbest move ever made on survivor, seriously, I don't think anything will ever top that. It's hard to believe that "fans" could play this stupid.

[DJk_zero]

James is the shit
