8 to 9 pm is all you guys are good for?

Other side of the world is awake

Hehehe! I was a-skeered of what your nefarious twist might be. And I had to watch The Voice!

I almost missed both rounds! (And I had to watch White Collar!)

Was watching The Voice, and then didn't want to pick too early this time...

Danni gets individual immunity

Natalie gets immunity

South Group ~ Tina gets immunity.

Poster #4: Choose 1 castaway from the West Group (Earl ~ Parvati ~ JT) and hand them immunity.

Earl gets immunity.

Poster #5:

Rob from North group and Ethan from South group go to Inawhile island.

Poster #6

Todd, Parvati

ready for my close-up Mr. DeMille.
Someone nudge me out of my lethargy OR someone help me bury the body of my future ex-auto mechanic. The tale of total $%&%#*% aggravation is not to be believed.

With Rob, Ethan, Todd and Parvati safely shuttled to Inawhile Isle and Danni, Natalie, Tina and Earl with immunities being sent back to camp, the remaining 7 castaways (+ Amber) will now commence with the 2 Double-Boot Tribal Councils.

The TC's will be split into North+South and East+West.

JP: So, how was that twist?

Tom: Nefarious? Really? I know you have a rep and all JP but that was actually pretty lame.

JP: Coming from you, that means absolutely nothing to me, Tom.

Tom: I mean, I shouldn't be here at all. Neither should JT or Yul. And your little smirkin' self figures out ahead of time, on your little spreadsheets, how to insure that certain people end up disadvantaged going into the next challenge or going to tribal. I mean the sheer amount of productorial control is astounding. I didn't even get a chance to play? For myself, or my alliance.

JP: Perhaps it's time to change your strategy then, Tom.

Tom: Pfft!

JP: Amber. amberamberamber... The gift gourd? So. Will you ever pick a gift gourd again?

Amber: Probably not. But I just couldn't control myself this time. Being left out of the game made me feel as if I was losing the game. So I needed to make a move even though my move ended up being to my own detriment. Perhaps Rob will whisper "Save her and we'll run this game together" into someone's ear and then, well, you know...

JP: Hoping someone else will play your game for you is certainly one way people have made it to the end but again might I suggest a change in strategy? Specially since Rob isn't here to make that promise to anyone.

Chris: You know, Jeff. With all of this strategical advise you're handing out, perhaps you should jump on in here and try to compete.

JP: Perhaps in a celebrity edition, Chris. But for now, since I'm not playing and I see multiple players continuing to use old, losing strategies, it's a little puzzling to me. And a little fun to poke fun at, frankly. Overall, this game is already figured out. Yul and Danni are destined for Final Tribal Council. But NO ONE dares to take them out? So shall we just sit here and discuss the weather?

Aras: Sometimes I wish we would.

*JP rolls his eyes*

JP: Allrighty then. Let the chips fall where they may, let's vote...

5th Tribal Council: North AND South.(Aras, Chris, Jenna M and Yul) I need 2 votes for this tribal council. The 2 players with the most votes will be going to Loser Lodge.

6th Tribal Council: East AND West.(Amber, Bob, JT and Tom) I need 2 votes for this tribal council. The 2 players with the most votes will also be going to Loser Lodge.

Please step into the Private Voting Booth and give your 4 votes.

Don't you hate those episodes where half the time is spent at one tribal council after another? It used to be that we saw camp life instead of Jeff hogging the camera.

So, while production is busy, back in camp Danni, Natalie, Tina and Earl look at each other and realize that none of them are California mactors that ruined the show. They decide that it would be a good idea to work together to get to the end.

Earl: The way I see it, we all played honestly and were very well liked by the jurors so it would be a fair fight if we stay together to the end.

Tina: This game should be for good people to win! I don't really care for people like Parvati who wiggle their ass for camera time.

Danni: Yes, I think we all played great games to win our titles but no one talks about us.

Earl: Danni's right. She beat that whole axis of evil. Tina got rid of the biggest witch ever.

Tina: I had to do it! And Earl, you had that horrible shelter that caused your team to become weak yet you prevailed. And Natalie; she killed a rat and I don't mean that rodent. I mean that big rat called RussHole.

Natalie: He was so arrogant that it was easy to get the votes. He thought he'd win!

Earl: I hate those arrogant players that think they are better than everyone else. We are only 4 so we need a few more players in our alliance. I feel we should get rid of those big DAWS.

Tina: I wouldn't mind seeing Parvati and Rob leaving. Unfortunately, they are safe for this round.

Danni: Who do you think will leave? I think Yul is safe.

Natalie: I'm sure he is. I hope Chris can stay. He makes us laugh. They'll probably keep Jenna even if she's a spoiled brat.

Earl: I'd like to work with Ethan so it would be easier if Jenna isn't around.

Tina: Yes, Ethan would fit in to our group nicely.

Natalie: Us 4, Ethan, Yul and Todd would make a very solid F7.

Danni: Maybe they'll agree with us.

lol. thanks, mich.
You got some for Inawhile too?

Ethan takes a break from the game:

It's been tough coming back after all this time especially playing with Jenna. She can be a bit overbearing at times. I'd actually wouldn't mind seeing her voted out so I could concentrate on my own game.

{cut}

This time I wasn't targeted immediately as a former winner so it's been more fun. I'm not the best player around but I'd like to have a chance to make the jury and vote for the best.

{cut}

There aren't many likable people here Inawhile so I mainly keep to myself or I discuss strategy a bit with Todd. Now, that guy knows the game.

Todd goes over his plans

It's good that I was sent here with Parvati and Rob. I can keep an eye on them.

{cut}

Those two have inflated egos and think that they are the best players ever. Bitch, please! Parvati couldn't even figure out that Yul had the idol in her first season. Then she was lucky that Fairplay quit, that Jonathan had to be medevaced and that production made a last second switch to a Final 2 because Cirie's the one that should be here.

{cut}

As for Rob, he's pedaling hard on the little bike trying to catch up now that he isn't playing with a bunch of his groupies. We are smart enough to talk to each other. We know he needs to go. He doesn't think we know!

{cut}

I like Ethan and I think we can go far together. We just need a few more people in our alliance. If I can get on Yul's good side, I think I'll be fine because many people like him. He'll be tough to beat but he only has 1 tiki in his pocket. I beat a guy with two idols!

Rob shares his thoughts during his stay on Inawhile Island:

These people are dumb. If they knew what I was up to, they would have sent me to Tribal Council over and over again until I was voted off but they never do.

{cut}

I think that it's good that many non-stars have been voted out early. I wouldn't want to go to the end with people that may feel this is truly their second chance and that they don't need to deal with me being on my 5th try.

{cut}

I need to get Yul out of here as soon as possible because he can get people to follow him. I need them to follow me instead. And pretty boy Ethan also has to go.

Parvati shares with everyone:

I'm lucky to be alone with 3 boys here at Inawhile Island. I'll flirt a little, smile a little and I'll have them all wrapped around my finger.

{cut}

I know Rob and Ethan are married men and that their wifes are here but that means nothing. They can be tempted just like anyone else. I mean, who wants to eat the same dish year after year. I'll spin those boys around until they don't know what's going on and then I'll devour them.

{cut}

Todd thinks I liked Courtney so he'll trust me but I'll vote him out just like I voted her out.

{cut}

Anyway, I'm tired of talking. I'm here to go sunbathing. If anything comes up, someone in production will alert me and help me stay safe.

Ils sont fous, ces Romains!

Now just bring that camera a little closer.....oooopsie, there goes my bikini top.......

Fraught with tense looks and sneering exchanges, the double-double tribal councils sent a shockwave through the 8 castaways all in danger of exiting the game before the jury stage.
Unsure of who would vote for whom; Aras, Amber, Bob, Chris, Jenna, JT, Tom and Yul, wait nervously for JPs return from the Private Voting Booth.

JP: I have tallied the votes and there are 4 clear losers.
Starting with the 5th Tribal Council, the players who's names I call will bring me their torches, have them snuffed and must leave the TC area immediately.

With 9 votes our first 5th TC casualty is...
Aras

Aras, please bring me your torch.
*snuff*
The tribe has spoken. You must now join Richard, Jud, Brian and Vee at LoserLodge

With 6 votes our second 5th TC casualty is...
Jenna

Jenna, please bring me your torch.
*snuff*
The tribe has spoken. You must now join Aras, Richard, Jud, Brian and Vee at LoserLodge

Okay, the 5th TC is over, this means that Chris and Yul can go back to camp now.

Now for the 6th TC
Again, the players who's names I call will need to bring me their torches, have them snuffed and must leave the TC area immediately.

With 8 votes our first 6th TC casualty is...
Bob

Bob, please bring me your torch.
*snuff*
The tribe has spoken. You must now join Jenna, Aras, Richard, Jud, Brian and Vee at LoserLodge

With 7 votes our second 6th TC casualty is...

With the end of the 6th TC, Tom and JT? You two are being sent to Inawhile Isle.

Please tune in to the new thread where the continuing saga of who will win 2nd Chance 4 A 2nd Win will... well, continue.
