"S21 Love/Loathe List Ep12 (13 if you count the ReCrap)" |
It's fun predicting the outcomes of future episodes, but I would NEVER have guessed at merge that HALF of the F6 would be 40+ players! But I do have hammer and chisel in hand and etching the F3 in stone: Chase-Fabio-Sash.FABIO - Is he outwitting more than Sash? No. Is he playing harder than Chase? No. Will this Jury vote within the "Spirit of the Game?" Probably not. That being said, Fabio is in very good shape. Chase and Sash will have to (or already have) step(ped) on toes to advance to the Finals. Fabio hasn't and won't have to. SASH - Sure having a HII is big, but he took a situation that turned bad for him and played off it well. This may come as a shock to Michel, but he's not #2 for winning the IC. Let's face it...a punch-drunk boxer on crack could probably have solved the puzzle quicker than Benry and Fabio. Most would have taken Chase's snub personally and immediately aligned with the other three. To his credit Sash put it past him and ultimately made the correct decision to go with Chase. CHASE - He did right by choosing Holly, but made a major error picking Jane. He acknowledged his blunder, and rather cry over spilled milk, he focused on damage control and appears to have come out of it OK. His dilemma is knowing he can't win sitting between Jane and Holly in the Finals. Can he cut them loose without Holly and Jane joining the ever-growing fraternity of former sour grape crying jurors more fixated on voting AGAINST a castaway as opposed to voting FOR a player? HOLLY - Chase and Sash will keep "mom" around for her vote. When her vote is no longer needed, they'll send her off to the Active Adult Community. Now if Holly could sniff this out by rounding up the 40+ trio and bringing in Fabio, she could change the game. But she seems to be too maternally attached to Chase. DAN - Destined to go where other pathetically inept castaways have gone before him--F4. JANE - Gotta rank her last for carrying on over the execution of Kel-Nay. Could she be Jan's (Thailand) sister separated at birth? My pick to be booted next. BOOTED BENRY - I knew the Anti-Darwin Syndrome would get him, but I didn't think it would be F7. Could be risky for Chase/Sash to leave three 40+ players in the game at this point, but Chase must be confident he has Holly/Jane under his thumb. One thing is for certain...Fabio can take Benry's vote to the bank.

LAST EDITED ON 12-09-10 AT 10:39 PM (EST) If Fabio had been booted, I might have stopped watching. I'm not sure what would be worth watching for after that.
Fabio - Editing made him look stupid again this episode, but ultimately, his strategy of laying low worked better than Benry's strategy of scrambling. The dude abides. Chase- Really got the heavy edit this episode and it was all good. He even turned his foolish decision to bring Jane on reward to his advantage. He really had his gameplay hat on this episode. Lies to Benry might have cost him that vote, however. Holly - Appears everyone would rather take her to the F3 instead of Jane. She is sitting in a great position. Sash- Might have just blown his game. An F3 with him, Benry and Dan was his best case scenario. I don't think he can beat any of Chase's alliance in a vote. At this point, it should be about that, not about who the physical threats are. Sash also debunks the idea that Survivor is all about trust. No one trusts Sash, and yet, he is in no danger. Jane- Ah, chicken is GOOD. Being compared to Jan isn't how you want to be known. Dan- Useless hanger-on who will write anyone's name down as long as it isn't his. In mafioso talk, he's a rat. Newest L Lodge resident- Benry- Oh look, I ran over a dirt squirrel. >

Fabio: Like him the best. Also seems to have no enemies except perhaps Na-Onka, but would you want to rely on her vote? On the other hand, no longer has any allies either, and should know it. Should be hoping for the Holly/Chase/Sash/Jane alliance to break up; maybe targeting Jane. If not may have to win IC to stay in game.Holly: Not sure who's idea it was to let Benry and Dan think Fabio was going, but result should be to make Fabio distrust Dan. But Holly does seem to be doing a lot of strategizing. Jane: Finally wearing out? Could explain the Kelly-Onka burial. Chase: Can't think of anything to say. Dan: Can't think of anything to say. Sash: Also think he chose the wrong alliance. Gone- Benry: Can't think of anything to say except he deserved it.

1. Jud. Still the most interesting player in the game, should be fun next week how he handles being duped. Oh, right....  2. Sash. Cool and sharp, not the most likeable of people but he's managed to find himself in the Cesternino position. 3. Holly. Kind of took up the leader reigns and has her head in the game, funny that Jud of all people is underestimating her. 4. Jane. Great old lady in a lot of ways, solid on many of the rudiments of the game, just doesn't have a gameplan to rely on. A more savvy player would have by now slipped that target Marty painted on her. 5. Chase. FOCUS! Still making bad moves, doing okay in damage control for now. 6. Dan. Man just doesn't have any game at all, that might just get him to final. Bye Bye Benry. He looked so good on paper at the start of the game, lot of wasted potential there.

1. Sash: It's nice to see a player not lose his/her mind over not being taken on a reward. Way to stay cool and focused on the game. If he makes final 3 and doesn't win, it's only because he didn't make enough personal connections with the jurors.2. Holly: She, too, has her head in the game. I really hope she can somehow figure out a way to get herself into the finals because I think she would have a good shot at getting enough votes. She's had a great story arc. 3. Fabio: I would be happy to see him win. He was totally outplayed though by Sash and co. 4. Chase: This guy seems almost too nice to play Survivor. On the other hand, it would be nice to see someone that likeable win for a change. (Although Samoa's Nathalie was a saint compared to Russell, I never really warmed up to her.) 5. Dan: I don't really like him. He doesn't have much to say. His strategy, probably by default, is to be a useless goat. It'll probably work to get him at least to F4 but he can't win. 6. Jane: I like her less and less every time I see her. I don't think Fabio is the idiot. I think Jane is. I find it comical to listen to her confesionals about strategy. It seems like a chore for her to even remember the names of the people in her own alliance. Plus, the thing with the chicken was ridiculous. Booted: Benry: Good. You were a tool.

LAST EDITED ON 12-12-10 AT 02:51 PM (EST)1- Fabio: This was a bad episode for Fabio but his strategy of playing it cool is what saved him over Benry who showed he was ready to throw his ally under the bus and even imposed his choice to change the decoy vote from Jane to Holly. Fabio has made friends which is essential to get votes, he just has to show that he can play in order to win the vote. 2- Chase: He had a bad episode himself, making one more stupid move. Fortunately he recovered but the jurors may punish him in the end. More and more, I see Chase as this season's Ian, another confused young man who played with his heart. (But I understand a guy who fell for Brenda much more than one who did for Katie!) 3- Holly: She seems destined to be the coach until the end. I think she just gave Fabio the gameplan to win. That's why coaches coach and players win. 4- Dan 5- Sash
Why Sash lower than Dan? Because of this exchange: Sash said: “It’s obvious that there’s a three-three split… it’s obvious that I’m going to be number four man on any three-person alliance.” Dan replied: “Forget those three, let’s us four go.” Sash objected “Only three make it to the finals.” Dan smartly countered: “In other words, you’re saying you might side with them? That’s what you’re saying is that you might side with them.” Sash stuttered: “Uh? I…I…Ah? I…Uh? Honestly, none of you three have come forward and told me your game plan yet so for…for…for…Ah…here on out, I…I want you to feel free to tell me whatever you want, so you know…you know…” Dan: “We tried to get Sash back on board with us so we approached him and he said: “I’m with you guys, I’m with you guys, I’m with you guys” but people don’t trust Sash and they are crazy if they do after what he did to his own right-hand girl, after what he did to Brenda, after what he did to Marty" In other words, Sash isn't seen as a strategist but as a disloyal player and Dan outwitted him. Correct choice? I don't think Sash could have beaten anyone but Dan and Benry so how is aligning with Chase and Holly smart? 6- Jane:It's clear that with Marty gone Jane has no story left to tell so we get to see her batty side. And isn't Jane kinda like Denise? Someone the players fear but the jurors would probably not vote for. Booted - Benry: He was dumb to the end so he cannot be an example of Anti-Darwinism. That, to me, can only apply to someone that is IN the main alliance but gets voted out because he is good in challenges AND well-liked. Benry was a disliked outsider.

LAST EDITED ON 12-15-10 AT 10:12 PM (EST)>Don't remember Chase "promising" anything and >sealing the deal with a >handshake or some other similiar >action. Chase told Holly and Jane that he would lie to Sash, tell him that he'd vote out Jane to take him along with Holly to the F3. That's a promise he shouldn't have made. If Chase realizes he >would have a difficult time >beating Holly/Jane in the Finals >and eliminates them without either >of them seeing it coming...that's >"outwitting" and "outplaying" in my >book. So I guess you >regard outwit and outplay as >a "mistake???"
It's all in the manner of doing it. You, of all people, should know that flat out lying directly to someone isn't outwitting. One needs subtlety in order to make others think you are with them when you really aren't. Chase has proven to be so honest that any moves he makes now will entail bitterness when a less personal approach could have been defended at FTC. >So to be "upset" about >being outwitted and outplayed is >completely hypocritical. And to vote >against someone who got the >better half of you is >being a crybaby and sour-grapes >juror. Any alliance is a contract: We go to the end together but if you screw me, I'll screw you back. NOTHING hypocritical about that. >Todd never let people get close >to him???? I'm afraid you >have it the other way >around. No one (other than >Amanda) WANTED to get close >to Todd Watch China again: The main theme, taken from the "Art of War", was that everyone wanted to be in an alliance with Todd. JR, Leslie, Dave, Jamie, James, Frosti all offered him alliances and gave him help with the HII. He made friends but not as close and personal as Chase. For one, he didn't open his heart like Chase did by singing that song to his father. Todd was a very smart player. >So a bitter juror/player with an >axe to grind against a >particular Survivor would offer a >more accurate assessment about that >player? OK...I guess we have >no other option than to >assess Boston Rob based on >what Lex, Big Tom, and >Alicia felt about him because, >afterall, playing the game with >him they knew him much >better than you, I, and >anyone's "personal impressions." You're >too funny!
I'll have you notice that I was referring to opinions of players when they were still in the game. They called Chase dumb before being on the jury. Nevertheless, I wasn't trying to be funny about the jury, I was being real. Lex saw that Rob was making deals that he couldn't honor. Even Rob realized he was wrong. ETA: Here's from Rob's latest interview: "I feel that each time I played “Survivor” I learned something new, and I’ve tried to make adjustments so that I did not make the same mistakes that I made previously. At its core I believe that “Survivor” is more a social game than anything else. At the end of the day, people just want to be treated with respect and play with people that have a good work ethic and a positive attitude. I feel like I have grown a lot as a person since “Survivor: Marquesas” and I think it showed in “Survivor: Heroes vs Villains.” Although he doesn't specifically refer to Tom and Lex, I think it's clear he was talking in large part about the way he treated them.

Fabio - He is, if nothing else, likeable. Again, I don't think the display of ignorance is an act. It's authentic! Sash - He is so arrogant. Then I felt sorry for him when he appeared to be on the outs, trying to connect as the swing vote. Then he won the immunity idol. Then he became grossly arrogant again. I was not suprised that Sash wouldn't go against Chase and his alliance at Tribal Council. Chase is extra hot, and Sash is all about that Chase hotness. Chase - I'm all about that Chase hotness, too. I have confessed this before, so no big deal. Otherwise, I think Chase is a country bumpkin. Actually, he is Colby 2.0. I expect Chase will also make a devasting move at the end that will cost him $1 million. But, they are both such hotness. On a side note, there wasn't a lot of male hotness this season. Maybe that's why Chase stands out so much. In other seasons, my Survivor "boyfriend" changed like the wind. Calamity Jane - Love you, Jane. But, the chicken memorial was too much for me. And, of all people, she was the last survivor I would expect to break down and CRY over a chicken. Maybe she needed camera time to come off as a sensitive person? Regardless, it backfired. Holly - A real player and could win it all. But, she gets on my nerves. And, this woman is only 44? Sheesh. Maybe it's the hairstyle. Time for a makeover Holly! Dan - Ugh. Booted: Benry - Bye Benry, with your flimsy self. As long as it ain't you, huh?

Glad you're still around, milka. Don't get the Chase or Sash hotness thing myself, Sash is looking particularly gnarly you ask me. Still, he pulled off an II win.
