Haha did anyone just catch Jeff's exit speech? Haha, didn't expect anything less from him; "it's only $600,000 after Obama gets to it".
But yeah Skupin is pretty much a complete moron like Pete said last week. He's definitely no longer close to being one of the best survivor's ever imo. He's just been a follower/floater the entire season, and hasn't even performed that well in challenges thus far.

Wow. I haven't been able to watch since Ep 2, but this was sure a wild one to come back to. That was probably the most insane tribal council I've seen. This should be one hell of a final 8.
Penner might have just wanted to shake things up or get back at Jeff Kent, although it's very strange
Skupin is an idiot, that's two horrible votes in a row for him
next week should be really interesting, the seasons are always better when it's a complete toss up who's going home from episode to episode, great tribal
I think this has been one of the best seasons we have seen in a while just because there are so many people actually playing the game. From day one there has been a lot of people, the ones you see up there plus more, that actually cared about strategy, I am a big fan of this three alliance system. It really forces people to start playing earlier than normal.
I was happy to see Kent go home, he screwed over Penner and this was karma. I never wanted him to win, and his whole vendetta against the returnees is petty. He is obviously very competitive, and obviously a very sore loser. "It's a joke." was his comment when Penner won immunity. Seriously buddy? He beat you fair and square, suck it up princess. Enjoy your time on the bench.
The thing that scares me now, those 5 have all the power, and there is a good chance one of Denise or Malcolm won't win this game. It will take an incredibly strategic idol placement on their part to pull it off as Tandang (sp) can't split the votes to flush the idol without running the risk of one of them going home.
Also, is Skupin an idiot? He now guarentees himself a spot in the final 5, Pete said himself he plans to keep him around as the swing vote. If he votes out Abi or Pete, who's to say that once the other guys have their numbers they don't vote him out next? Does the order really matter? They just want to get rid of Tandang. The only person he fully trusts is Lisa and he is going along with her.
I am also confident that if either Sofie or Kim were to be on this season there is not a chance in hell they would win, great casting this time around. Really makes up for two seasons of weak, weak players.

Seems most people want to make the final 3 with 2 of the evil triumvirate so maybe keeping them around. Jeff was too focused on a stupid quest to get rid of the veterans. Hell that should be your strategy. Bring Penner and Skupin to the final 3 with you knowing that many people don't want a vet to win anyways and probably wouldn't vote for them in the end. Neither is a physical threat, although Penners desperate win was sweet, and both would probably stay loyal as long as you keep them around.

Exactly.

Put me in the club thats happy to say goodbye to Jeff Kent. He was fun to watch in challenges early but hes game strategy is horrible. I really hope Skupin is the next to go for 2 reasons. 1) His questionable voting 2) To give Lisa less options.
I also wish that they would show Artis more. They have said Abi, Artis and Pete have been douchy around camp, so lets see it. Aside from his reaction to them quiting the challenge 3-4 weeks ago I havent really seen him being overly negative. Is he getting a bad rap because of the company hes with? or did I miss something?
i am loving skupin this season. Same guy he was before, still highly competitive in the challenges, and has helped take out players who want him g one because he is a returning player. He was low guy on the initial totem pole, but has maneuvered himself into a much better spot over the last two episodes. Great playing from a position of weakness.
When they showed the tribal challenge tonight, I said to my wife that skupin will win it. It was one on natural athleticism and he just has it. I hope he wins it.
Lisa is running out of chances to move over to the other alliance. She could be the next to go if they don't flush out abi's idol next week.
Penner was awesome today.
Loving this season.

Id say skupin is only behind Pete and Malcolm in terms of physical threats remaining.

Soooooooooooo glad to see Skupin switch tonight. Abi once again opened her mouth too much and it cost her alliance, not sure what the heck she is thinking. All she had to do the past few episodes is be nice to Skupin and Lisa and she would be fine.........but she keeps yapping and it caught up to her.
Penner is playing a great game.
And gotta give credit to Artis, what humble and nice words upon his departing. Good for him.
The season is finally picking up steam. The past two tribal councils have been great.
Abi is only still alive because every one recognizes that she will never get a vote in front of a jury.
Lisa needs to make her mark in the sand soon, I was hoping that she would do the smart thing and change her vote tonight.
Penner did an effective job of jumping into the drivers seat. With 8 players left he can form an alliance with Lisa, Michael and the smart move is to grab Abi and one of the other weaker players. You have to get rid of the stronger physical threats now.

True. Smart play by Penner & co.
They didn't show it tonight, but I have a feeling that Skupin told Lisa to vote that way tonight to make her feel good about herself............they both knew what was happening, this way Lisa didn't feel like the 'bad guy', and Artis still gets voted out. Smart move, since they are obviously in an alliance.
The show is finally getting good. Took it a while, but it's finally there.
