Could see Phillip getting Pity votes at the end from people that are bitter for Rob getting them out of the game

That would be a big problem to me in the end, if the jury comes down to the same bitterness crap.

To me Rob has played a nearly perfect game to this point, even from a social aspect.

To me the Jury is the dumbest part of the game.

It'd be better if there was a three way sword fight at the end.

R I Could really screw over Rob in a hurry..

Lets say that 1 person from R I makes it into the top 3, so that would leave 5 going to the jury?

Lets say it is Mat, so Mike, Ralph, Julie, T-Rex, David.

Now 2 Om make it to the final three, lets say Rob and Phillip. So now that is Andrea, Natalie, Ashley and Grant going to the jury.

Rob gets screwed, not only does he have to hope that four people he had a hand in voting out will give him a vote, but he has to compete against Golden boy Mat or one of the other Zap, who have majority votes on the jury..

I don't think it will be overly hard for one of these people to make it back in either, the more weeks that pass the less immunity challenges they would have to win. We have seen people go on streaks when necessary before.. whatever the cost R I has made this a very interesting season. And will more than likely be a huge factor right down to the final vote.

True, Rob still has the immunity idol cannon in his arsenal as well, which is huge.

I have to think that in theory a Rob, Phillip final two gives Rob all of the votes, its the third member choice thats difficult. If he's smart he takes
one of the coat tail girls.

I still have this funny feeling that the final three will be two from Camp, one from redemption Island.

Julie was the worst for me, she had an arrogance about her but she hadn't done anything

and I agree Rob is playing absolutely perfect so far, and I doubt there is bitterness because he isn't doing it like Russell did in his years

if he makes it to the f3 and doesn't win they might as well end the game for good, or change how the winner wins, it would be broken if he doesn't win at f3 if he makes it

This is the thing, outside of Richard Hatch, I haven't seen anyone control the game so completely. The one thing that Richard Hatch did was he controlled who he bought into the final tribal with him. Remember that Kelly Wigglesworth or whatever her name was, was equally unlikable but far more clumsey socially then Hatch.

With Rob, he really needs to guarantee a shot at the final 4 so continue his voting majority, then use his immunity idol to get to the final three.

If he plays it right, he can point out Phillips social ######ation, and bring the laziest player left in the game as the other player.

[Komskies]

I think Rob should bring Phillip and that snooty blonde bitch who rolls her eyes at everything with him to the final 3.

Edit: She's been such a nobody so far I had to look up her name. Ashley.

[CaptainCrunch]

I would agree with those two.

The only fear for Rob is that somehow Phillip goes lucid at Tribal council and reveals that this was his strategy from the start.

He then pulls off his mask and omg its Denzel Washington.

[trackercowe]

The funny thing is that I have been reading the Survivor message board on imdb, and for some reason the majority of the people have a strong dislike for Rob, and the way he is playing the game.

I honestly don't understand why as Rob, and Phillip are the only two players in the game of any interest. The Zap tribe was/is boring as all hell, and outside of Rob nobody an Ometepe has made any moves, or stands out.

Everyone seems to believe Rob pretty much has zero chance at winning the game, which is pretty sad. I am tired of people riding each others coattails, and then winning because the other player pissed the others off; or winning because that was their "strategy".

I usually keep watching until the interesting players get knocked out, and then never even watch the final episodes, as I could care less who wins. For some reason I believe the final four will consist of Grant/Natalie/Andrea/Matt or something along those lines. Three players who have done nothing of note, and another who was voted out twice from the game! The only thing any of them can use it that they were the reason Rob was voted out.

I really hope that does not happen, and Rob wins a few immunity challenges once Zap is gone, and has the idol as backup. Sadly, I do not see this happening, as I think Matt will win his way back into the game, and find a way to take Rob out.

Why did they vote out Julie instead of Steve or Ralph?

[GreenLantern]

I wonder if Russell was on to something when he said America should have a portion of the vote?

Not enough to decide the winner, but lets say that America is allowed to vote at the final tribal council, and say 90% of the votes or 80% or some over whelming number go towards one person... he gets an extra vote.

Say they break it down and for every 40% of the votes you get from America awards you an extra on paper vote or something..

I know this would never work but I am just spit balling here.. I hate seeing guys that play such great games get robbed of it in the end. No pun intended.

In his "Probst answers questions" column on his website someone brought up this idea that America's vote and the person who wins gets an extra vote. Probst basically said that it wasn't feasible because the show is edited and once that edit happens, then what America sees isn't a 100% true representation of the game.

Here's the link if you're interested in his full answer. He does it better than I can do it.

thats actually a really good point, we're seeing what the editors think will bring in the most ratings not necessairily the most accurate representation of whats going on.

Think this catches us up if Im right?
Regulator, DianePhaneuf, Superflyer, Komskies. Otto-Matic and Yanda are toast so far...

[CaptainCrunch]

Really good episode tonight. Phillip is the perfect comic heel, and is pretty secure inthe final 3, and people are waking up to that fact.

Rob completely controls the game, the girls could have gutted him like a fish but instead they ran off to tell him when Steve tried to make a move.

He's a genius in a tribe of outright morons.

But for some reason Andrea or whatever her name is still looked good with chocolate smeared all over her face. I was looking for someone to choke on a immunity idol clue in that cake.

[Otto-matic]

This season is turning out to be pretty interesting,

Philip if somehow makes it to the final 3, he very well could win it all.

[d_phaneuf]

I would be very surprised if someone other than Grant or Rob won (depending on where the RI gets put back in the game, if its directly in to the finals, which I doubt, who knows) I don't see any scenario where the 3 girls go with each other, or 2 of them and Phillip

I think it ends up Rob, Phillip, and Natalie (the brunette) but really Natalie could be replaced by Ashley

[CaptainCrunch]

I have it as Rob, Phillip and either Natalie or Ashley.

The X factor is Matt coming back from redemption island.

I'd laugh if Phillip made the finals and proved that his FBI, Kung Foo Master, racist ranting, shaman was an act to get him to the finals.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

I actually thought last night's show was really boring, probably the worst one this season. Everyone is just going along with the program, doing whatever Rob says, inviting Rob to eat the cake, running up to Rob and telling him that Steve was trying to oust him.

I don't blame Rob, he is owning this game right now and has everyone in the palm of his hand. I just wonder if anyone left is going to 'play' the game, I guess we'll find out soon, probably as early as next week. Grant seems to think about things a bit, but the girls seems to be pretty much useless. I keep forgetting their names because they don't seem to do anything on the show except lap up whatever Rob tells them.

Need something to spice up the show soon.
