The Rules

This week the rules are different. This week you want to vote for the finish order of the four remaining players. Using the codes in the above list of players, just erase where it says "Re: SurvivorBlowsTribe, Time to Vote..." and replace with your votes. Your votes will take this form

4th/3rd/2nd/1st winner!

For example, if you think Denise (DS) will finish in fourth place, Lisa (LW) will finish in third, Malcolm (MF) will be the runner-up, and Michael (MS) will win the game, your vote should read:

DS/LW/MF/MS

All the standard rules apply, of course, like if you want to change your vote reply to your own vote post. And mostly, HAVE FUN!

Anyone but Malcolm wins immunity, he's logically the first boot as he's too likeable to take to the end.

I don't think Lisa has earned enough respect from the others because of her wishy-washy approach and some of the Tandangs on the jury may not be thrilled with her manoeuvrings that resulted in some of them being booted before Penner/Carter and the two Matsings.

It could go either way between Skupin and Denise for the title of Sole Survivor - both have a good case and both have had their ups and downs in editing. I just think there has been more negative comments made about Skupin from the jury boots in their day-after interviews than about Denise, so I'll say that Denise just barely edges out Skupin for the win by a 4-3-1 margin.

Had to be a little different from Pepe.

If Malcolm doesn't win immunity at F4, he's gone, because he's way too dangerous to take along.

I've got Skupin in 3rd because a) we were shown an anti-returnee belief earlier in the game and b) Artis can't stand him.

I also put Lisa ahead of him because she showed during the last TC that she knows how to work the jury. Denise suggested Tandang was lucky not to go to TC before the merge, and Lisa said it wasn't luck, it was because Tandang was a strong tribe. A strong FTC wouldn't be enough to win, but it could be enough to get second.

Denise outplayed, outwitted, and outlasted. I also give her the "average viewer" vote. My family members who don't pay attention to spoilers have made it clear that the love Malcolm, but if he can't win, Denise better win. I think the editing would have been quite different if Skupin or Lisa took the prize.

I think Denise had the million dollar quotes in the beginning. I think she managed to survive every single TC. I think she will manage to survive even when her closest ally, Malcolm, can't commit to her at the end. I think she has a very valid case to make.

I think Denise wins the RC with the advantage for the IC. So, she will win the IC as well. She will find out that Malcolm made an F3 agreement with Lisa/Skup, and Malcolm will be eliminated.

Final 3: Denise, Skup, Lisa

Denise wins, after really shining in pre-merge, then going under the radar in the post merge episodes, and even getting some doubt cast upon her with the Abi controversy. Penner called it, either Denise or Malc will win, Malc's F4, Denise F1.

I could wind up being very wrong, but assuming the rest of them have enough brains to get rid of Malcolm given the opportunity (I think they do and they will), Denise is the best of the rest and should win.

Malcom will be betrayed by Denise in her only betrayal of the season

Mike won't get any votes because he is a moron and blew it with his wishy washy voting post merge and that nobody likes his game

Lisa will get a vote or maybe 2 but that is it

Denise wins by a landslide

Malcolm loses Immunity to Denise and his plotting against her is exposed. He's too much of a threat and so he's out.

Artis apparently doesn't like Mike, Kent would never vote for a returning player (and Pete might not either) and others might think he's too wishy-washy. He doesn't get any votes.

Lisa might get a vote or two depending on a strong FTC performance, but she too is viewed as wishy-washy.

Denise wins because other than Malcolm, she's probably the most likeable one. And you have to respect that she went to every Tribal Council but wasn't voted out!

It's Denise's game to lose when the final three face the jury.

The jury vote goes:
RC - Lisa
Jeff - Denise
Artis - Lisa
Pete - Lisa
Penner - Denise
Carter - Denise
Abi - Skupin
Malcolm - Denise

Denise wins 5-3-1

It should be Denise winning, but juries can be bitter:

The jury vote goes:
RC - Denise - Any non-Tandang to prove she should be in F5
Jeff - Denise - Any non-returnee who has been playing the game
Artis - Denise - Any non-Skupin
Pete - Skupin - Pete's team
Penner - Denise - Everyone loses to Malcolm or Denise
Carter - Skupin - Any guy
Abi - Skupin - Any guy
Malcolm - Skupin - Any non-Denise

Tie!

Re-vote & Carter and/or Malcolm change to Denise. Denise wins!
Other possibility - Lisa gets a sympathy/pity vote & either Skupin or Denise win outright.

Despite everything, including an advantage reward, Malcolm doesn't win the final immunity and joins the jury. But he does not hold grudges.

Michael gets at most one vote from the jury to ensure there won't be a tie, finishes in third.

Lisa, who got her head in the game finally for the final stretch, manages to get two or three votes and is runner-up.

Denise wins, having survived going to every TC this season.

Look at that! My first time posting in the voting thread and I'm going completely against the tide.

All the "Denise wins" talk makes me think she doesn't actually win, but at least comes close. Lisa gets 0 votes for her wishy-washy game. Michael wins because he survived the anti-returnee opposition and played the better "active" game instead of Denise's "passive" one.

Just because that's the way my PTTE has it. Thanks for hosting Dabo

What a lovely bunch of coconuts.

Jury Votes:

Abi~ Lisa
Pete~ Denise
Artis~ Denise
Malcom~ Denise
Penner~ Skupin
Kent~ Denise
Carter~ Skupin
R.C.~ Skupin

Lisa is a journey player - first, she was crying "the game is too big for me." Then she attempts to play, but continuously fails ..."that's not who I am." Finally, with the help of her brother she can play this game. When she finally manages to vote Malcolm out, she will have achieved what she came to do ... just play the game.

Skupin is another journey player. He wants to do what he couldn't do before ... make it to the Final Tribal Council. Congratulations Mike, you did it!

Denise, on the other hand, was shown to land on her feet over and over again when all of the odds were against her. She walked home from every Tribal Council. She is the most eloquent and logical one of the bunch. Pre-merge she was shown in confessional alot. Post merge, she was buried - I think they intentionally didn't show her because she was so eloquent and logical. Rather, they showed us the bumbling Skupin, the tormented Lisa, and the targeted Malcolm. Lisa will emerge again in this episode. She will once again show her eloquence at the final tribal council and she will be named the final survivor.

...or wrong, depending on your perspective, since Lisa and Skupin tied.
