LAST EDITED ON 11-10-09 AT 09:43 PM (EST)That was a good summary, Miss Myth. You have the snark that it takes! (Rustle too sexy for this game)!!!!!
Too bad about the storm. In case you didn't get the rest, here are some of my notes for the editing thread:
Laura won immunity
Shambo reacted in interview: “That sucked because I really wanted her gone.”
Russell worried : “Shambo wants to let one of our guys go. I’m sure I’m being targeted.”
Laura told Erik that Russell showed her the idol. They set a new plan voodoo in motion. Erik talked about it to John. That's when all hell broke loose:
John (interview): “Some members of Galu, they just want to go down the line Foa Foa Foa Foa. That’s like playing junior varsity Survivor...I still believe it is in our best interest to get rid of Monica.”
Erik agreed and told Dave and Brett.
Dave (interview): “Erik wanted to vote Monica which is crazy. There could be something going on in Erik’s head that he’s not letting on. He’s a crafty dude and that makes me a little nervous.”
Erik got blamed for John's idea, a little like Joel getting blamed for Gervase's idiot joke!!!!
Erik then told Mick, Jaison and Natalie to vote Monica and not tell Russell so that he plays the idol.
As soon as he left, Jaison told the other 2 that he felt Erik was treating him like a child.
That’s when Natalie made her move, going to Laura: “Erik came to us and told us you all 4 need to vote for Monica. He wants all the girls gone. I don’t trust him.”
They asked Kelly what she thought.
Natalie repeated that Erik wanted to vote Monica.
Natalie then told Russell that it was a done deal: “I just changed their mind.”
Russell underestimated Natalie: “I don’t think you talked them into it. I think you think you did.”
Dave went to Shambo in another fun scene:
Dave: “Tonight, Erik goes.”
Shambo: “Who’s Erik?”
Dave: "Erik!"
Shambo: "OUR ERIK????"
It’s nice to realize that the editors know full well they didn’t develop Galu.
Russell (interview): “This is the first time that I don’t know nothing. All of a sudden, all hell breaks loose. All of the girls want to vote Erik out now."
Tribal Council
After useless chit chat, Erik said: “I struggle to see anything that Foa Foa has to offer Galu. Let’s just say they were able to get a Galu member to turn in a very cohesive team. I would be floored if I saw them get one, let alone 2 or 3 that they would need to spin this game."
-Russell responded: “I don’t like pity. I think we have a lot to offer. I think he’s going to be surprised.”
- Erik: “Again, you see the tenacity in the 8 of us since day 1 so it’s a long shot… I think one way to look at it is how they reacted to the merge and dealing with the 8 of us. I can tell you right now: Russ goes out there and scrambles, he’s been in everybody’s ear, Mick comes in, he does his thing and takes it on the chin saying the numbers are what they are, Natalie doesn’t want to step on anybody’s toes and Jaison is just an enigma because you see his intelligence, you see his athleticism but you don’t really see it coming together.”
- Jaison: “He can take a look at my résumé. I’m here to play a game, I’m here to be strategic in my own way. I have a strong problem with that comment.”
-Erik: “Let’s look at your résumé in this game from day 1 and I think you’re making my point.”
- Jaison: “Personal attacks… they eat at me… I tried to play this game hard but not take it too seriously but sometimes something just kicks in.”
-Erik: “I like that in a player…”
-Jaison: “My point is I don’t care what you like.”
- Russell: "There's still hope."
-Erik: “I do respect that. He doesn’t strike me as someone who gives up...But this type of competitiveness is misaligned…”
- Russell: “In other words: Roll over and get voted out quietly. Well, that’s not going to happen. I will talk to each and every individual up here and I will try to strategize with everybody to stay in this game. I ain’t gonna stop playing.”
Russell surprised Jeff by playing his idol
(1 eyebrow Jeff, not both!).
“Everybody knows I have it, I might as well play it.”
Jaison received 2 votes and, even with 4 votes, Erik wasn't worried. The 5th vote surprised him: 1 had flipped. The a 6th vote was placed on him: Erik was floored.
The 7th vote forced Erik to have his torch snuffed.
His last words were something like: "Wow! Never thought an arrogant SOB like myself could ever be voted out!"
(Well, maybe not exactly)
It is a new game...except for Shambo who voted Jaison to find herself alone again.
