Sorry Bobble, Brad gets the axe. Great episode though. But maybe one of the smartest or dumbest moves in survivor history with that mutiny twist. I thought for sure Jonathan would have gotten the boot.

I missed the week before so I didn't see what Brad did to alienate himself.

And I though he had a chance to go MUCH further.

And he is the first on the Jury? WDF is up with that?

What first came to mind about the whole jury thing was that it's going to be a jury deciding between 3 different people. Just crunching some numbers, the jury most likely is going to have to be an odd number so if they had it down until the final two, then 10 people would be voting. I doubt this is what actually is going to happen but that's just something I thought about...

Yep bu-bye to Brad in yet another "guy puts foot in mouth" episode.

I wanted to play an honest game. I didn’t want to be as cutthroat as a lot of the other contestants.



Brad was outed because he suggested it was everyone for themselves once the tribes joined together. Although he is right...it ****ed off his team, because they wanted to go into the merge as one tribe, taking out the others.
Candace and Jonathon jumped ship in one of the dumbest moves ever made by a contestant. Jonathon is sure to be booted either next week or the week after, unless someone seriously pooches themselves. He wont get any help from his old tribe and certainly the new tribe doesnt see him as anything but a turncoat. Candace seems to use her feminine charms to seduce ????, so she might be safe for a bit.

I wanna know whats in this bottle that Jeff shows in the preview for next week's episode, apparently its something that has never been done.

Also, if my math serves me right, with BRad being the surprise first memeber of the jury, that means there are going to be 9 more joining as there are 11 people still left. 7 in one tribe, 4 in the other. So, if there's 10 people in the tribe, what happens if there's a tie??? Is it possible that the final 3 go to the end as a new twist in the game?? Im confused. This season has been good, but only because of the new twists. I wish there were some more good characters on the show. There's no really wacko guys on this season. There are good players, but not good characters in my opinion.

Still cant wait for the reunion and see what Billy says about the whole Candace "i love you" thing. That was ****in priceless.

Pretty good episode last night. After Raro lost both challenges again, they were told to bring this little bottle with a note inside to tribal council and were told not to open it until after the vote. After the group booted Rebecca(no surprise), Parvati opened the bottle and it was revealed that they were to vote another person off their tribe. The tribe was shocked and went to go vote, and Jenny got the boot. So, Raro, who had 8 people last episode, now have 5 and no momentum.

Part of me doesn't want a merge. It's like the two tribes are building a bit of a rivalry right now and you get the feeling that it's one tribe against the other. I think there shouldnt be a merge until the tribes are even. And if you saw the trailer for next week, you see Yul sharing a secret with Ozzy. Good reason to believe that he tells him that he has the hidden immunity idol. I hope this doesn't bite him in the end, because Yul is probably one of the most likeable characters this show has had in awhile.

I thought it was a really good episode last night. I definitely liked that they had to vote off two people. They really just didn't see it coming since they were all expecting the merge. I also hope there isn't a merge, the competition between the two tribes has been good especially since Jonathan and Candice switched sides.

I wonder if the hidden imunity idol will even come into play this season. It didn't last season and it is starting to get close to the point where it may not this season. I guess we'll see.

That Raro tribe has to be the most dysfunctional tribe EVER on Survivor. Stupidest tribe ever as well. They have a chance, three times, to vote off one of the turncoats and each time they eat one of their own. Adam, Nate and Parvati don't have a hope in hell of winning now. They would have to face Jenny, Rebbeca and Brad on the jury and unless they are totally stupid are they going to vote Nate, Adam or Parvati the million dollars when they kept the turncoats around longer than them? Candace is playing Nate and Adam big time and they are too stupid to notice.

Last night's episode was okay. It was the preverbial "loved ones" episode where the reward challenge was a day with your loved one.

Jonathan finally gets the boot, and I couldn't be happier, the guy is a snake this was a long time coming. Having said that, I hope the show doesn't lose the edge it had with him in it. The 6 people that are left are pretty level headed and aren't the best Survivor "characters". They are good players in Yul, Ozzy and Brad, a hottie in Parvati and two throwaway in Jenny and Sundra. If one of those two wins it, I will snap. But out of the 6, there are no J. Fairplays, there isn't a Judd, there's isn't a Susan, no Jerri's, no people that could snap on any given notice. Although, I do think there is a bit of an edge to Ozzy, we still have yet to see him snap, but if I had to chose someone to do it, it would be him.

BTW, was there any doubt of Ozzy winning that immunity challenge?? I loved when he was diving into the water with the bundle of sticks, but as he is in the air, he is throwin the sticks towards the shore, that was awesome.

Can't wait till the reunion, wanna see the uncomfortable conversation regarding Billy and Candace. HAHAHA, I just remembered that.

Everyone's favorite hottie, Parvati was voted out yesterday setting up the final episode on Sunday with 5 left

Yul, Sundra, Becky, Ozzy and Adam

Predictions people??

I'm goin with Ozzy, I think he wins all the immunity challenges left, he will then get to choose who he wants to go the final 2 with and I think he has played the better game.

Keep in mind though that this season, the jury is going to be bigger, by 3 people(if my count is right).....so you never know, there might be a big twist at the end of this game.

The one big twist remaining will be a final three going to a jury vote instead of the typical 2 people. Not sure exactly how it will play out from their but this seems to be one of those badly kept secrets.

Perhaps it happens this way:
-final three do some speeches and field a question or two.
-vote takes place by the jury
-bottom vote getter is eliminated from contention and maybe does not become a jury member to keep on odd number of people for the final vote.
-further BS and the standard pointless questions
-final vote

As much as I want Ozzie to be there in the end I can't see it happening. The next time he loses an Immunity challenge he's gone. He's just too much of a threat. I am going to narrow it down to either Ozzie or Yul winning because there's no dispute that thye've played better game then Sundra or Beckie. And I think Adam is gone ASAP! Can't wait until Sunday...

I do think there's going to be something funky with the final three because all the numbers are mixed up. Who knows, maybe they've listened to all the people complaining that the third place person is always the best player. We'll find out soon me thinks...

Yes but - will he lose another challenge? The guy is far and away the most athletic guy out there and has incredible balance. He could easily run the table.

The guy is awesome and it's not a stretch to think that he could run the table. There was no doubt in my mind last night that he was gonna win that one. The guy is just awesome.

Adam might be in a good spot . . . . . a kingmaker between Yul and Becky versus Ozzy and Sundra. If I were him, I'd try to play it that way . . . . between doses of eating raw meat I suppose. He could still win.

It's been a while since we've seen a Survivor so clearly deserving mentally and physically of winning this thing so late in the game . . . . and that's Ozzy. Usually a guy like that would have been toasted by now. He's turned it up a notch and doesn't have a lot of blatant enemies.

But the person deserving doesn't necessarily win.

Yul is picking up some resentment and enemies as he goes along. He's not a cinch if he makes the final two.

it would be pretty funny if Sundra and Becky ended up sitting for judgement at the end.

I am sad to see Parvatti go . . . . really sad. Great line from the naked hot tub scene . . . . "I'm in a hot tub with two naked guys. Alright!!"
