1. Sandra (5) - I love it that she showed T the light! Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. I don't exactly respect her for throwing out the fish, which would normally put her near the bottom of the list. But everyone is still below her. Not saying much for #1 choice right now.
2. Christa (6) - I feel for her how no one believes her and I could tell it was geniune before the real "fishmongers" conf.
3. Burton (4) - Poor guy is always is jeopardy
4. Darrah (2) - at least she won immunity and didn't have misspellings (like the guys)

25. Lill (25) - still a bitter ditz, altho she has a good heart, no right to be on this show.

666. Jon (3) - (I'm with Sittem on this one)

I'm not against what Jon concocted in Theory. But My Grandma underwent surgery for Stomach Cancer last week. HOW DARE HE!!
I'm also not surprised that he didn't have a family member.

Tijuana is an IDIOT for going to Jon. Why make a pact with him for his vote? Ya don't need his vote, honey! Guess she wanted to stay in good with him, but betrayed Sandra in the process. Jon did good to turn the tables (tho i wish he hadn't).

6. Sandra

1. Darrah-- Kudos for winning immunity this week. I can tell you're just going to keep flip-flopping your way to the end. You're much more deserving than that nasty cow Sandra.

2. Lillian-- Gosh... I felt sorry for you getting all emotional over Jon's big lie. Anyway, you're a generally kind-hearted person. The best strategic move for you is to become the Brutus to Burton's Caesar next week... he'd rather be with Jon in the finals, so you're going to have to take him out.

3. Christa-- You were a lot better this week. You admitted that you had been too cocky last week and did not do something childish and destructive like that nasty cow Sandra did. Some friend she is, letting everyone blame you for what she did... I might suggest that you turn on your "friend" next week.

4. Burton-- Burton is annoying. Did not deserve a second chance. Can't spell liaison. Should be voted out soon.

5. Jon-- The Big Lie was a genius strategical move, but he didn't carry it out all that well. I was shocked none of his tribemates saw right through him. He's getting too cocky, telling his friend "I'm guaranteed final 2". I bet he doesn't make it to the final three.

6. Sandra-- The most annoying, nasty, cow-like person left on the island. Get rid of her! First she sabotages the tribe in an immature and destructive Rupert-esque temper tantrum. Then she sends Jon's friend back on the plank after hearing his "devastating news" (which I'm fairly sure she believed... I mean, this is not Freud or Einstein we're talking about... this is Sandra!), thus strengthening her reputation as the whiny hag of the Balboa tribe. No way she wins the dinero.

This Week's Biggest Gainer is Christa, who rises four spots from last place to 3rd. Darrah also deserves kudos, rising 3 spots to #1.

Biggest Losers are Burton and Jon, who both fell two spots. But instead of giving this award to those who technically deserve it, I'll give it to Sandra who will remain parked at the bottom until she does something to redeem herself.

Last week Tijuana came in 5th place, and during her time in the game she had an average ranking of 6.

1.Jon- The greatest villan in survivor history
2.Darrah- really nobody else to put this high
3.Christa-persecuted for the wrongness of sandra
4.Burton-Riding on Jons coattails speak of irony
5.Lil-Annoys me i no not why
6.Sandra hey stupid why would you do that and why trust jon

Tijuana- Another morgan strategizes and another morgan gets voted off coincidence?

The girls blew it when they didn't vote Burton off last night.
1. Sandra - a buddy of Rupert's
2. Christa - a buddy of Rupert's
3. Darrah - one of the girls
4. Lil - another girl
5. Burton - not a buddy of Rupert's
666. Jon - a buddy of the Prince of Darkness

*SIGHS* Mourning T's departure.

Anyway, I guess I can drag myself to do my list this week.

1. Darrah- the last remaining Morgan, hope she can bring home the $$$. And believe it or not, she HAS been active in this game. She forged a safety alliance at the Morgan camp with Andrew and Ryno when Lill returned, has performed well at the Individual challenges(much better than Sandra and Christa), helped keep Morgan alive in challenges(i.e. Ep.3) and won challenges for Morgan(i.e. Ep.5), has stayed out of the line of fire of the big dogs in camp(Burton, Rupe, Sandra, Jon), and HAS worked effectively in camp(she isn't a Drake or Rotu worker bee but she still gets the same job done with more time to relax). CONGRATS ON IC WIN!! YAY!!

*VERY LARGE GAP*

2. Christa- Really she is tied for last the four others below but I won't take the easy way out. In second because I felt sorry for her when she was blamed for the fish disposal, was glad to see her and her fiance reunite, and she kept a pretty good attitude throughout the whole Episode even though she thought she was going home. BUT SHE DISSED MY GIRL TIJ AT TC WHEN SHE CAST HER VOTE AND THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME VERY HAPPY!!

3. Sandra- Ughhh! What a hypocrit. You sit there and tell all the other girls that they're stupid if they trust Jon but then you go and a)TRUST JON YOURSELF(!!!), b) vote out a potential F4 ally in Tijuana, and c) keep Burton in the game when you finally have a chance to vote the IC hog out! Sure, do you really believe Jon will vote out Lill before you and Christa just because he said so? DUMB IDIOT! You had an all women F4 with a 2-2 tie and if either of the Drake women get to the F2 then they may have a better chance at the mil than a Morgan because there are more Drakes on the Jury AND Lill is on the Jury! STUPID, STUPID, STUPID! Plus, you still voted out my girl Tijuana while badmouthing her!

4. Burton- normally this would be reserved for my least favorite actual player in the game(meaning not previously voted out like the Outcasts) but because of Jon's dispickable lie, I'll make an exception. Outcasts shouldn't be here, plain and simple! But your an IC threat and are playing the game (even though you should have been voted out last episode!) which makes you better than your lame ally Lill.

5. Lill- again, Outcasts shouldn't be here. Especially Lill. If MB is going to bring players back, at least bring back people that are going to play the game and not be a lazy ole puppy dog to Burton. She's a pampered, lucky, whiny, cry baby that needs to be spoon fed by Burton. Cry me a river but I ain't listenin'.

*TOO BIG TO DESCRIBE IN WORDS GAP*

6. Jon- you dispickable, lying, wimpy little weasel! Great strategy but what a low, sick way to do it. Couildn't you make a better lie than that? That is disgusting and sick and UGGGHHHHH, many other really bad things! Knowing you, your grandma would be proud. GET OFF MY SCREEN AND STOP RUINING MY SURVIVOR EXPERIENCE WITH YOUR FACE!!

The "nubian princess" Tijuana would likely have been 1st (maybe 2nd). I'll miss you T!! And Happy Birthday!

In my own, therefore undebatable, opinion.

Edited to say sorry for the rants.

-PP

Not many positive reasons to rank the remaining players, my best shot at ranking the least of the negatives.

1. Christa - Kudos for hanging in there in spite of the false accusation.

2. Burton - At least he makes the effort to fish for the tribe.

3. Darrah - Taking the minimalistic approach, hard to find any positives or negatives just plain mediocre.

4. Lil - Useless, she spends more time talking about feeling guilty than she does playing the game.

665. Sandra - Smart but despicable for letting the tribe blame Christa for her "accidentally" dumping the fish, it may end up having more impact on the game than Jon’s Grandmother story.

666. Jon - Check the next dictionary edition for a new definition of "worm". He is a scumbag and bottom feeder, it is no wonder that no family member came to visit him.

I agree with most that not voting Burton off was a huge mistake, he may be able to run the table on the remaining ICs.

The only thing left to look forward to with this group is the reunion show, it will be interesting to see how a live audience reacts to Sandra and Jon.

Be gentle with me, a longtime lurker but a new poster.

1 Darrah you have been number 1 every time i voted
2SAndra
3 Chris
4 Bert
5 lil
6 jon

1.) Sandra (3) - Sandra regains the top spot for the 2nd time this season because she is always spying, strategizing, and working it.
2.) Lillian (2) - Lillian remains high because of her good heart and good work ethic.
3.) Burton (1) - Burton drops a little for his outburst against Christa, and for having a dangerous "liaison" with Jon.
4.) Darrah (6) - Darrah moves up for her IC win.
5.) Christa (4) - Poor Christa is falling apart emotionally.
6.) Jon (7) - Jon is despicable, but we already knew that. Also, Jon's swinging "friend" knew an awful lot about him. A bit more than just friends?

1. Christa (1). Retains the top spot despite blubbering a bit about the Fish Story. Points for not lashing back and accusing someone else. This is one of the reasons I like her. Why she blew off the girly quartet to boot Burton, falling under Jon's and Sandra's spell (well, she does follow Sandra) is beyond me. Strategy karma -- even.

2. Sandra (2). Almost made her #1. She took the bull by the horns and went on the strategic and tactical attack. So many smart and nice things: Thinking "you all aren't eating my Rupert's fish!", taking the knives out for Jon, I think you don't believe Jon's grandmother story, plucking T and D from the Jon/Burton/Lill trio to gain a majority. But then you blew it, Sandra! How does evil Jon do it? Strategy karma -- positive.

3. Darrah (4). Is playing the classic UTR role. Well, the joined at the hip with Tijuana plan must now change. At F2, I can see her saying "Whahl y'all were fightin' 'n wrastlin' 'n backstabbin' weeth aaacheudder 'n yur fine Yankee strahteegees, Ah's juss moseyin' ahlong with mah own winnin' strahteegee. (Smile.)" Strategy karma -- positive.

** Tijuana (5) used to be in this relative position ** You moron, T! Why'd you open your big mouth to Jon? You already had the 4 necessary votes to oust Burton, then Jon, then Lill, and then enjoy the F4 IC race. Strategy karma -- negative.

4. Burton (6). His level headed MBA marketing skills are showing up. How the heck did he escape bootdoom this week? It seems like Drake is reforming, and Rupert's prediction will come true. Strategy karma -- even.

5. Jon (7). Either a brilliant tactical move was the Big Lie, or a massive blunder. Forget the morals -- this is a game. It depends on whether the tribe finds out on the island before F2 or while watching the show back in the States before Reunion. At least for this week, he's shown an attempt to play the "I'm reformed and a better person now" card. What amazes me constantly is how such a weasel can hypnotize and manipulate so well. He did have a sheath of charts and graphs and planning statistics that he waved in his Audition Tape. Strategy karma -- negative.

6. Lillian (3). Lill takes a dive in the ratings this week. Defending Jon at the RC? Sucker. She's such a guilt-ridden whiner. This could be her best strategy: ditzy outcast old lady is the one you want with you at F2. (Which could also be in Jon's mind -- not the ditzy old lady , but the person no sane jury member would vote for. Wait, may need to reconsider: "sane" is the operative assumption here). Is she having nefarious affairs with whichever men will take her, to whome she dedicates her entire soul and being? Hmmm, boy scout leader, eh? First there was Skinny Ryan, then Rupert, then Burton, then Jon. Strategic karma -- negative.

P.S. I_AM_HE, sure I'll do the tally this week, sometime before the show Thursday. I liked setting up the programming. If my schedule becomes a problem, I'll let you know. My theme idea for this week has morphed more into an unofficial summary instead of a ranking, so I'll post it in Bashers later.

-- Ra, Spinning in geo/helio eccentric orbit

Wow, this week's show made me feel slimy just for having witnessed the "big lie". Frankly, I'm feeling more than a wee bit disgusted with just about all of the remaining members of this cast.

1. Christa (1) - Felt sorry for her being falsely accused, but then she agrees to vote off T and cast her lot with the folks who made the accusations, who quite openly have shown nothing but disdain for her, and who have hatched plots to have her voted out since early on. Things that make you go hmmmmm....
2. Sandra (3) - I'm not upset about the fish thing in general, but damn, not too smart a move. I hope to heck she does have a super-secret alliance with Jon, or my respect for her gamesmanship will go totally out the window.
3. Darrah (5-tie) - Still a non-entity, and just an indicator of how sorry things have gotten at this point in the show that she's sitting at number 3 on my list.
4. Burton (5-tie) - Still can't get past my feeling that he doesn't even deserve to be here. Wayyyy more arrogant than Rupert ever dreamed of being IMHO.
5. Lil (6) - See Burton, subtract the arrogance, and insert clueless and emotionally unstable.

HUGE SOUL-SUCKING VOID OF A GAP
666. He who shall not be named - Sorry, I'm not going to congratulate someone for pulling a sick trick like that. Makes me wonder what depths this vile, scuzzy, jackass stoops to in his day to day life. Not entertained at all by this worthless piece of crap. Just plain disgusted.

I'm offended by your reference to the Dark Lord in relation to Jon. The two aren't in the same league.
