Final SS Poll results are:

Richard 13.3% (132)
Susan 4.7% (47)
Rudy 2.0% (20)
Kelly 49.9% (497)
Sean 30.1% (300)

...though with Sean having come on VERY HARD the past few days.

So, our personal official pick is Kelly right, just like the official poll results? NOPE!

...sorry, it just seems too obvious, so we're going with Sean.

What was the "official" message board posters pick anyways, we lost track of it today...

Well, the official poll WAS CLOSE, the Sean folks just ran out of time to overtake the Kelly crowd...

Good pick! The "Access Hollywood" factor works again.

:::bowing to the officials:::

Very impressive indeed!

I bow to the officials. I went with Richard and I was wrong.

Now will the officials 'splain some things to me....

WHY? Why? Why would Richard and company pick Sean? He's weak! He's not popular. Why wouldn't Rich knock Susan off? She's devious and his biggest threat; it's every person for him or her self now. Also, what was with the title? Looks like the Alliance is alive and well to me!

Someone please explain tonight's vote from the Castaways POV -- not from the hints (Rice Picture, email that Sean is in Final 3, Howard Stern, etc.)

I haven't a clue how this will turn out.

This is what I think with the castaways POV. That little make up session with Kelly and Susan, where Susan says that she's not helping Kelly and no hard feelings and all blah...blah...blah I think that what we view as the orignal TA Rich-Rudy-Susan got togeather and said if we stick togeather for one more vote we are all going to the final four. All we have to do is vote between Kelly and Sean. Even if they make an alliance, we still have them 3 to 2. If either one wins immunity, we simply take the other, if not we choose between the two, my guess is probably taking Kelly down. Kelly after winning immunity knows that the group is probably taking Sean down and decides to vote Sean, like she has in the past, so that she won't openly offend any of the Tagi-three. Of course, I may 100% wrong here and just happen to be a great Monday morning quarterback. But me thinks something along these lines happened.

Thanks for the explanation but... but... but...

The only thing we're sure of is that Rudy is staying with Rich. I'm not sure that Rich will stay with Rudy.

Why wouldn't Susan take her final shot at Rich in EP-12? Kelly obviously wanted to join with her and with Kelly winning immunity, Susan could have convinced Sean that his only chance to win would be to take out Rich now and break that solid R-R vote.

If Sue is supposed to be so devious, why didn't she take her obvious final power play?

Why would Rich go after Sean? Why not Susan?

And why that title? There was no "Death of an Alliance!" That alliance is alive and well!

The tie vote has to come in the first TC of EP-13 (if it comes at all) with the men against the women.

I'm just lost!

cause just like you I can not make any Logical sence out of why the vote went down as it did. There were opportunities to get rid of RICH/SUSAN/RUDY. I would love to know the reasons behind that vote. they Keep Rich for the bad boy image of the JURY? they keep rudy because he has no chance in hell winning Immunity? WHY the hell didn't rich play the PENIS alliance game is beyond me. it would have been easy pickin's to dump sue/next week kelly and let IC fall as it may for the final 2 vote. COme on DICQUE I know you control the vote? what is the Mind set?
