Survivor Cagayan anyone?

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Unless someone is threatening you with physical violence, there's no call for violence at all. So, yeah, I guess it's good Lindsay removed herself before she got violent, but since she was never in any danger of Trish turning violent on her, that just makes her sound like more of an a-hole.

[NYadgal]

Yep. Agree.

Just catching up on last week's episode. That was a crazy Tribal Council.
What a crazy over-reaction on Tony's part to Sarah getting voted out!
Considering she's on the jury...

[Mr Roxy]

Have never seen 1 episode of Survivor.

Cool story bro

[xxdrewboy85xx]

Anyone still watching? I'm really digging this season! I was so mad that Spencer used his Idol on himself over Jeremiah. I understand he needed too to guarantee his safety, but as an outsider watching, it was obvious they were going to vote for Jeremiah.

For so long I've been thinking Spencer could win this thing, but he's going to have a lot of work to do to get the numbers now.

[Jordan Catalano]

I do like Spencer but every so often he does or says something that just puts me off to him. I wouldn't be mad if he ended up winning, but I'm team Tasha all the way. I'm PRAYING they can get that asshat Tony out of the game soon. He's really just insufferable to watch.

[xxdrewboy85xx]

I agree, I'd be happy with Tasha or Spencer winning. I live in Chicago and so does Spencer and he comes across as someone who is probably a big d-bag and arrogant, and definitely not someone I could ever see my self hanging out with or ever frequenting the same bars, but on the show I don't mind him.

I can see Tasha, Spencer, an Woo as the top 3. Tony just needs to go!

[ClydeBarrow]

I was so hoping that Spencer would have used the idol on Jeremiah which would have forced Tony to use his special idol. What would have happened then? Would it have been a totally new vote leaving Tony and Jeremiah out of it?

[Jordan Catalano]

Even if Tony makes it to the final 3, how in the hell can he win? Does anyone really even like him??

[jasonf]

I disagree that Spencer should have played the idol on Jeremiah. Yeah, it looked obvious to us how the vote was going to go, but without him knowing for sure, had they voted him out and he used it on J, we would all be calling him a huge idiot. There was no reason not to protect himself to be sure he would be safe.

I don't like the idol that Tony found at all - I think it's WAY too over-powering. I think he's almost guaranteed a final three slot unless he does something really stupid. If Tasha/Jeremiah/Spencer were honest in saying they'd vote for him, he actually has a good shot. I don't WANT him to win, but I wouldn't underestimate his odds.

[xxdrewboy85xx]

I think we will see either Jefra or Woo (or both) in the final 3 because let's face it, neither one of them has any shot of winning this game. Tony, Tasha, Spencer, and Trish would all be crazy to not keep them around until the finale. But then what if Kass wound up in a final three with woo and Jefra, then Kass would win, and that would be ridiculous.

[bwaylyric]

Is the immunity necklace wearer still allowed to give up necklace at tribal? I thought it would've been great if Tasha handed her necklace over to Spencer, who then would've given his immunity idol to Jeremiah.

[jasonf]

I thought that too, bwaylyric. I don't know. Jeff used to ask if they wanted to give away the necklace and he hasn't at all this year. On the other hand, they specifically said in Tony's idol that he CAN'T share it with someone...

[NYadgal]

I'm over the immunity idols. ESPECIALLY the one that let's you use it after a vote. (I probably hate it more because Tony has it, and I'm so done with him!)

Time for Survivor to come up with something else.

I was sorry to see Jeremiah voted off, but agree with jasonf that Spencer shouldn't have risked giving him the idol. At this point I'm rooting for Spencer to win. I've enjoyed his game from the start.

[NYadgal]

I am firmly Team Spencer. All the way.

Thought the bold moves last night were smart.

I keep hoping that maybe there will be a sudden announcement that Idols are no longer valid, and Tony gets screwed. Wishful thinking, but you know the way they change the rules to suit what's going on in the game.

I've enjoyed this season more than I thought I would.

[Jordan Catalano]

I was very sad to see Tasha go last night. Hopefully she'll be brought back to play again in another season. But Spencer has played a fantastic game and I can easily see him winning the whole thing. And what's amazing to me is when people like Tony actually think they have a shot at winning the million dollar after the way he's played the game. But sadly, he's exactly th kind of player who will be brought back at least two more times to play in upcoming seasons.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Kass is the worst! I really wish they'd send her packing next. She's carries on like she's some great mastermind and just so smug and useless. I was really hoping she'd flip again last night, since that would have just proved what a nimrod she was. And this is mean, but I was really shocked to find out she and her I roughly the same age, because these past 40 years look a lot harder on her than they do on me.

I like Spencer, too. I liked Tasha as well. The rest are just a collection awful and more awful.

[NYadgal]

Agree about Tasha. Would love to see her return in future seasons.

Unfortunately, I think you're right about Tony. Unfortunately, we'll see him again.
My hope at this point is that, if he isn't eliminated before the final 3, that he gets no votes.

[ErikJ972]

I think I hate Kass even more than I hate Tony.

[Jordan Catalano]

Kass doesn't really bother me. She's just played an awful game and has no real alliances on the island.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

I can't wait to see Garrett at the reunion.

[jasonf]

I can't see how Kass can possibly win. If Spencer makes it to final three, he wins. If Spencer doesn't but Tony does, Tony wins. The chance of there being a Woo, Kass, Trish finale are almost nothing. If it was that threesome, Woo probably wins because he's so likable. I don't get where Kass's delusions come from.

[NYadgal]

Kass hasn't really bothered me, either. She's a no-nonsense sort, but hasn't been strategic at all. She may make it to the final 3, but don't see how she has a shot at winning.

I was cheering when Spencer won the immunity challenge! He deserves the win.

I HATE that Tony still has that special idol. It's a terrible idea.
Was VERY glad to see Trish voted off. I've disliked her intensely from the start.

[Mister Matt]

Can Tony still use the special idol? I thought this last tribal was it for any of the idols. If so, he made a HUGE mistake if he truly wanted to take Trish to the final 3. He could have given her the regular idol and told her to play it regardless the vote and then he could play his idol after the vote and the two of them could have pretty much decided whether they wanted to send Kass or Woo home.

At any rate, I do think Kass has been strategic and for the most part, it has worked for her. She started making risky moves early on and thinking much more long-term than most of the others. Her personality rankles, but she's definitely aware of it and uses it in her strategy. The way she drove a wedge between Tony and Woo was impressive. She reminds me a LOT of Richard Hatch. She knows she can't win challenges and she knows she can't get a free ride like Woo or Trish and she simply isn't wired for the social skills of someone like Cirie.

Personally, I think Kass been more strategically successful than Spencer, who became an early target, failed several times in recruiting to his alliance as they got picked off, and is still around by winning immunity at the right time. Unless Spencer wins the next immunity, I can't imagine he'll be in the final. All his allies are on the jury. And honestly, I've found Spencer's smugness to be as off-putting as Kass. If I were on the jury, I would probably vote for Kass over Spencer, but it would be a pretty tough call.

Woo could win simply for not be Kass or Tony. It's not unprecedented. Tony has been a less vile Russell Hantz, but no less delusional. He's been playing to get to the final, but I'm not convinced he can sway the jury for the win. He would have to 1) rely on Spencer not winning immunity, 2) play up Kass's abrasive personality because he won't be successful poking holes in her strategy, 3) find a convincing way to justify all his lying which he has been unable to do thus far every time he's caught lying or admits lying, and 4) throw Woo under the bus for riding his coattails. Based on everything we've seen thus far, I can't imagine Tony being very convincing in the final jury.

But...Survivor is strange. Tony could win simply for not being Kass and not being Woo. It will all rest on the final immunity challenge. If Spencer wins it, it will probably be a slam dunk. I'm not really enthusiastic about any of them since Tasha was voted off.

[NYadgal]

Hmmm... good poing about not being able to play the idol after the last tribal. Let's hope that's true!

I agree with all you've said about Kass. I didn't express my thoughts clearly when I said she hasn't been strategic. She has been a good strategic player from early on. She just hasn't been entirely likeable. That's very different than stategic. I stand corrected!

This season has included alot of what I love about Survivor. I'm eager to see how this all plays out.

[Jordan Catalano]

When Kass shot the bird to Trish last night, I just burst out laughing. That might be one of my all-time favorite SURVIVOR moments.
