The Rules

1. Put the name of your choice for this week's boot in the subject heading.

This is easy, just erase the bit where it says "Re: SurvivorBlowsTribe, Time to Vote..." and replace with your vote, e.g., "Russell." Or, if you think this will be a two-boot week: "Russell and Jeff." It doesn't matter which order you put them in unless it matters to you.

This makes it easier to tally votes quickly and accurately. Nicknames are tougher to tally unless they are really obvious without actually reading your post. (Official nicknames are noted above.)

Other things you want to vote on (who wins reward, which order the tribes place in the immunity challenge, who gets first confessional, how long it takes for Abi to soap opera diva turn on Pete), these should go in your post not in your subject line.

2. Reply only to this post.

We like a nice straight vote thread around here, we are very attitudinal about it, and it's easier that way.

EXCEPTION TO RULE 2! VOTE CHANGES!

2b. But to change your vote reply to your own post.

Your new post heading should read, for example, "VOTE CHANGE: Jeff." Or perhaps "VOTE CHANGE: Jeff and RC" if you think it will be a two-boot week.

3. This is not a discussion thread, do not treat it as such.

Peculiar rules of vote threads, make your case as much as you want (please), just don't get sidetracked. There are plenty of places on the forum to debate the merits of people's arguments, have discussions, have civil and polite disagreements, this is a vote thread.

But please feel free to discuss your vote(s) in your own post, cast all the extra votes you want, make smug jokes, we're really all interested in what you have to say.

4. No graphics!

Unless you insist. If you do include a graphic please make it pertinent to something.

5. Have fun!

That's an order.

I'm sticking with my gut feeling, all the previews are just misdirection. Russell is signing his walking papers this week.

I think his tribe will lose again and Russell will finally walk the plank!

The Matsing carnage continues, so Russell is gone.

He takes a dive. A swan dive

Even after receiving a second chance at winning a million dollars, he still could not get it done. I guess that being able to walk out of tribal council tonight after his torch is snuffed could be considered a victory to Russell. It is better than being carried out on a stretcher. Good Luck Russell.

He should never have been given the opportunity to come back...

... good riddance!

I'd like to vote Russell, but Abi has also been getting a pretty negative edit. I think she'll take the walk down the crying path this week. They haven't given any clues as to how this could happen, but sometimes they just don't.

...it's time for you to go!

I fought against the obvious, but too much points toward Russell this week. He's gone.

The obvious boot if Matsing goes to TC again. Was hoping they wouldn't, doesn't seem to be the case.

Don't know if the Matsing HII will be found but I hope it will be, then there will be three of the darn things floating in the game, what fun!

Time to go and remove your cursed name from this game.

PROBST: "The story remains the same — Matsing. Russell’s tribe. They are on their way to becoming an extinct tribe."
No reason for Denise or Malcolm to vote anyone but Russell.

I have no idea, but if everyone else says it is Russell, then it must be so...?

Finally....

It will be close, but Kalabaw will claim 2nd place and send Matsing back to TC. (Tandang in 1st)

At TC Russell will be forced to vote for Malcolm as Denise is his closest ally left. Denise of course, is firmly in camp Malcolm. She will be the "deciding" vote.

No idols in play. No idols found. (Too bad Matsing couldn't get their act together enough to find it.)

Votes, of course, will be 2 to 1. Bye Russell!

Be ready for a switch next episode.
