I hated watching Courtney play the game of Survivor but her reactions and comments on the jury are priceless.

 

If anything, the 5-4 vote could mean Sandra could convince the Villians that she didnt flip and she get farther in the game. Its not like Candace can outsmart anyone at this point. The Banana tree in camp has a better game IQ than her.

 

I dont see Russell winning it. Russell is like Kobe Bryant. We know he's good. He knows he's good, but you just have a hard time rooting for the guy even though he's fun to watch.

 

Amanda gets her torch snuffed for the first time in over 100 days. She is the Chicago Cubs of Survivor.

 

I think Jeff reveals way too much with his questioning at Tribal Council. He has the on site producers and video people feeding him nuggets of what goes on in camp but I sometimes think he exposes too much during the questioning.

 

I dont think Colby got what he bargained for when he found out he'd be sleeping with two women at the Reward Challenge. You can tell he is not a fan of any type of drama and tries to steer clear of it.

 

I still think Candace was a last second casting addition. There is no way the producers had her name in the top 20 when picking who they wanted for this show. What season was she again?

 

I think it's amazing how the first All-Stars show was considered a disappointment in the eyes of many and this one (along with the last season) may have kept the show from jumping the shark.

 

I still think Parvati is a better game player than Russell because she can control her emotions when faced with adversity.

 

I agree with about everything you said here, but the part that Parvati is better than Russell. I don't know anything about his personal life, but he is a mad genius when it comes to survivor. With that said, I could see still lasting longer than him.

Russell panics. No need to play that idol the other night, but he panicked. He also did that a time or two in Samoa. When he feel like he has control of the game, he is a great player. But when he goes into scramble mode, he makes mistakes. He's fortunate it hasn't cost him yet.

As to Russell playing the Idol, I would always err on the side of playing versus holding it. There would be nothing worse in Survivor than getting voted out with an Idol in your pocket. And anyway, he knows he will find the next one they put in the game to replace that one, right? He's probably out there looking for it with no clues right now. :lol:

 

On the jury vote, I don't think they showed all the votes. I think when Jeff pulled the last one it was 5-3. He did that the week before also. If he would have shown all the votes, it would have been 6-3 because Candice did flip. By not showing the last vote, no one knows for sure if Candice flipped or not.

 

On the Tribal Council and Jeff's questioning, I read somewhere that Tribal Councils can last for a couple of hours. So there is a lot more questioning that happens than what we see in our edited for TV version.

Roger Bingham indicated that there are times that Probst and producers get together during those Tribal Council and also between the voting and the revealing. They are put into a specific order for a reason.

There was a guy a few seasons back, I don't remember his name, who went out with not only one idol in his pocket, but he actually had two immunity idols. He didn't play either one and looked like a big fool.

 

And if I was Russell I would certainly play it...like ya'll said, he's probably already found another one lol.

It was James that got voted out with 2 idols.

That's right.

 

I don't really care for Danielle...by the way lol.

Double elimination this week.

 

This could get ugly.

And you have magical insight...how?

 

It's not that hard to find if you want to know....

Double elimination this week.

 

This could get ugly.

 

With the double elimination, I have no guess on what might happen tonight. The only alliance that I am convinced will hold is Parvati and Danielle. Everyone else will be scrambling. Individual immunity has never been more important.

Karma comes back to get Candace.:lol:

What a move by Russell. Danielle goes home!:dancingpa

I think Russell has sealed his fate. If he makes the finals I don't think he gets a vote.

I agree. This is why the other players will try to take him to the finals. No one on the jury will vote for Russell. A million dollars, is a million dollars.
