Survivor Micronesia

[falconfan]

I totally agree with just about everything that's been said here today

But I think Amanda is BY FAR the biggest jury threat at this point in time and Cirie HAS to know that. Cirie also has to know that she doesn't need Amanda to get to the final 3.... actually when I think about it getting rid of Alexis instead of Nat just might have SAVED Amanda in the big scheme of things..... Alexis and Amanda are the SAME type of threat. Let's say Eric wins the next immunity... you have Amanda a physical/jury threat and Alexis a jury threat... Amanda would be gone. But even if Eric wins next week Amanda can convince Cirie & Pavarti that if she gets rid of her there's a 50% Eric or Nat will banned together and tie it up.

Speaking of which if Eric does not win immunity next week we might just be seeing a Cirie/Amanda tie breaker final 4.

 

[falconfan]

I was with you right up until then. Explain? If Erik doesn't win immunity next week, the likely victor will be Amanda. In that case, the three fave girls easily vote out Erik. And at the Final Immunity Challenge Amanda becomes the most likely to win it (just like she won the last two challenges in China) and they probably stick to the plan of ousting Natalie. I'm assuming you mean if Amanda doesn't win the last challenge in this scenario, with the likely victor being then either Parvati or Natalie (sorry Cirie) and then Cirie trying to get Natalie to vote for Amanda while Paravati votes with Amanda for Cirie? It's possible...at that point Parvati would have nothing to lose (nothing but the jury vote left) so it actually WOULD be in her best interest to force a tie wouldn't it?

If that happens, Cirie is a goner...

I'm projecting that in the event of a Natalie/Erik (whichever's left) final 4 endurance win. And that's more than possible. Both and Erik are physically pretty strong, I could see either of them winning the final endurance.

Now if that's the case Amanda is CLEARLY the biggest threat and Cirie will vote for her as will Natalie but Pavarti has shown a shocking loyalty to Amanada... dare I say she actually would not vote out the largest threat and vote with Amanda against Cirie


I really wish when we get to the final three they'd just be like oh and guess what... we're having a final two lol.

 

[falconfan]

Yeah but I get the feeling the IV was really more for show than out of necessity. If he really was too serious to be there the producers wouldn't risk law suit/bad press.

I miss the final two... there's hardly any backstabbing post final 5 anymore.

Can Cirie win this jury?


I've been thinking about this and although she played a great game I'm not sure if she can really win this jury.

Now let's think about this....

Ozzy and James- were not backstabbed by Amanda or Erik or by default Natalie. Also whiny bitches who fail to see social game only physical one. I see them prefer to give the money to Amanda then Natalie then if they HAD to choose between Parvarti and Cirie... I think they may view Cirie as a clinger on and give it to Parvarti.

Eliza- Respects game play. She'll give the money to Amanda if she lets them. I don't see her voting for Nat or Erik. But when it comes to Cirie and Parv she too may feel that Parv was the controlling force and therefore more deserving. She may also have a bit of an axe to grind against Cirie for jumpign to the other side to begin with.

Jason- Is an idiot. I don't know what he'll do but my gut tells me for some reason he'll give it to Nat if he gets the chance.

Alexis- I really can't tell her personality. All I know is Nat if given a chance. But her AND Nat were friends with Parv... so maybe if Nat and her both wind up on the jury that's two votes for Parv

 

[LiquidSky]

First of all, re Amanda's "guilt trip" on Erik - oh survivors, get over it! outwit, outlast, outplay, for fuck's sake he even told her honestly and openly he would vote for her, how rare is that? Ozzy pouts and Amanda pouts - at least Jason and Alexis don't pout, bless their hearts.

I got the feeling some of that was Amanda acting so she could continue to avoid suspicion.

Ding! I predict Jason will change his mind 245 times during final tribal because every time someone makes an argument, he'll be all "Oh yeah, good point!" because he can't hold more than one piece of information in his head. This also means that the last person to speak will have the best chance of getting his vote, since he will have forgotten the names of the other two by then. Which means that Jeff Probst will earn one jury vote for saying, "Okay, time to vote. [Insert jury member's name here], you're up."

I got the feeling some of that was Amanda acting so she could continue to avoid suspicion.

I agree to an extent, and I think it's a great ploy. She already has a huge target on her back, and it can't get any bigger, so trying to alleviate it is her best option.


It goes without saying that I'm one excited mo-fo about tomorrow night!

 

[falconfan]

I can't even containt myself to the end of this episode. I am SO proud of my girls. They're freaking amazing. They drove a wedge between Eric and Natalie like nobodies business.

 

[falconfan]

I LOVE CIRIE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH

She's a fucking genius!!!!! This whole episode EVERYTHING that happened resulted from her. She told Amanda go befriend Erik and she did. She go told Nat to get Erik to give up immunity and she did!!!!

These girls are all so fucking competent but Cirie is definitely the general of a very skilled and compotent army!!!!

I can NOT believe it. I can not. My mind is blown. I am baffled. It is crazy crazy shit there. Go Cirie. Go Amanda. Even Go Nat.


There have been SO many power plays this season. It's just a whole other level of game playing. I mean honestly can they all win? Please? I'd really appreciate it.


And side note. I for one would like to officially vote to make Eliza a permanent juror because she amuses me SO much.


Nat just became a HUGE jury threat thouhg, as huge as Amanda. She better win the endurance.

 

[testudfan]

Ditto Eliza. Never one of my favorite survivors, she has earned herself a place in my heart as "Juror #1". Outstanding

 

[LiquidSky]

Erik is now the most stupid player I have ever seen. I hope that asshole Natalie is the next to go.

 

[Spiff]

Abso-fucking-lutely unbelievable. I'm amazed at how many people this season don't want a million $. It's like they are trying to lose out on purpose. I'm still trying to decide if the girls are really that smart, or was everyone else just really that dumb. I guess a bit of both.

The girls, Amanda, Cirie, and Parvarti in particular, just got a really good sense of who everyone was and how to push their buttons and manipulate them accordingly.

Tracey was also an expert at this but she just started out in a bad spot

 

[acjuju]

first ozzy, then Jason, and I thought No Erik won't make a mistake like them. Boy was I wrong, possibly the biggest bonehead move in survivor history. Can't wait to see what he has to say Sunday at the reunion.

 

[acjuju]

I have to agree with Falconfan though, Cirie is a genius. I hope she wins.

 

[Sbaraglia]

I'm almost speechless....

All I can say is, James is right - his reign is over: Erik, you are officially the dumbest player in the history of Survivor.

OK, now I just saw his pathetic post-show comments - even dumber. "Wow, these people are my heroes and they're talking to me and acknowledging me as a person." Is there any hope for this twit's life to go anywhere but stupid?

Edit: By the way, do we have to admit that men are just dumb as shit? Or can we blame it on being straight???

 

[DotComGuy]

I took a nap and Tivo-ed Survivor. I went on the net and saw someone started a thread about Survivor. So I thought something must have happened.

This is how I watched the show:
I watched the first part up to Erik winning the reward.
I decided to skip ahead and watched the votes at tribal being read and Erik voted out. I figured he didnt win immunity and they voted him out.
Then, I went back and watched the immunity challenge. So Im watching and Erik is ahead. Im thinking he must really screw up to lose the challenge. They show him saying the four symbols out loud. I figure that he gets it mixed up and the others catch up and he loses.
But then he wins. What? He wins and he is voted off. What's going on?
I watched the segment of the show that is after the immunity challenge and realise what happens.

This has been four of the best episodes. Ozzy and Jason blind-sided. Then Amanda does a 'reverse blindside' and fools all the others . . and then there was Erik.

I dont know. I wonder if this 'blind side' wasnt dreamed up by those who make Survivor

I truly love Eliza's reaction s on the jury. Priceless!!!!

Or can we blame it on being straight???

They should have a season with all gays on Survivor.

 

[DotComGuy]

Oh yeah, when I saw Erik give up the necklace and the jury was laughing, I thought of Carrie's mom saying . . .

"they're all going to laugh at you"

 

[Ohiospeedo]

Wow! What an idiot. I was cracking up at James' reaction. He was busting out laughing. I can't believe he fell for it. What did he say he does, he is an ice cream boy?

 

[DotComGuy]

I took a look at that scene. They had been discussing that Erik told then all the same thing.
There was a pause

Parvati said "if he didnt have that necklase, he'd be gone"

Cirie "I wonder if he'd give Nat the necklace
