disagree, for the reasons others have already given, plus the previews clearly referred to jon's lie, imho, plus the "grandmother of all lies" bit, so that was the intended lie

I was one of the people that thought that the BL would be about the food. And when Sandra confessed that she blundered and then got out of her mess, I was satisfied with it being the BL.

However, when Jon and his buddy started talking about how their plan worked out, I did said to myself M...F... they guessed it!! So, I'm going to have to stick with Jon being the Big Fat Liar and bow to those that guessed it.

Personally, I rather have Jon be the villian, since that's what he set out to be/do, as per one of his interviews.

I think they both make me say M...F...., only Jon's was so brash it has to be the BL.

When I saw Sandra confess to the camera, I gasped and put my hand over my mouth. I was shocked. Did she lie? No, she withheld information... which is just as sneaky as lying because Christa was chewed out by her tribe.

The big lie though..... that was Jon and his bad acting. And when that happened? I just said figures.

Oh, and congratulated Misto.

I got to disagree with those of you that think Sandra is the bigger liar. Sandra did not tell a lie. As far as we know, she didn't say a thing or do anything that would lead the others believe Krista was the guilty party. There is a difference between purposely saying something false and not telling others that they have drawn the wrong conclusions. Staying quiet and letting others draw incorrect conclusions is not telling a lie. Letting someone else take the blame for soemthing you did is not exactly the nicest thing in the world to do, but it just shows a lack of character

On the other hand Jon knowingly told a lie. He planned this lie for a long time. He remembered it during the month that the game has been played and it fact had to get his buddy to tell him about grandma during the challenge.

Sandra told no lies. Jon is a big fat liar.

Staying quiet and letting others draw incorrect conclusions is not telling a lie.

In the law biz we call this being "less than candid". Technically, (in a legal sense) it's not a lie. In the moral, higher ground kind of sense...it's a lie.

Not a BIG lie, but it's a lie.

--thinks Jon's lie was far far worse than Sandra and her less than candid moment

Lying by omission is just as much "lying" as coming straight out and actively speaking falsehoods. Where there's an opportunity to be truthful but one chooses not to take that opportunity, that's just as much an active choice and moral judgment as choosing to say something that is not true.

Jon's lie is "The Big Lie" we have all been talking about, but for all intents and purposes Sandra is just as much a liar as Jon is. Not that there's anything wrong with lying in a game for a million dollars. None of them really have the right to get their knickers in a knot when they find out they've been lied to. No competitor owes any other competitor a duty of care in that way, and they should all expect to be lied to in the course of the game.

Taking a moral standpoint on it and reacting with outrage is all well and good, but it's clear that what people are REALLY complaining about is suffering some gameplay injury as a result of being lied to before they had the chance to improve their own position by similar means.

I like the liars and I like that some people are so credulous that they'll believe basically everything they hear -- even in a game for a million dollars! It's fun to see players pay the price for this self-righteous expectation of "morality" on the part of the other players.

is playing the game shes a good counterpart but not a star
ironically this is the second time that she has used Jons strategy of starting some s*** then get away from it
Jons a villan that weve finally been waiting for the snake and sandra is turning out to be the rat so let the snake eat the rat

sorry for babbling im gone now

Fire means life..brak,brak...as long as you have fire you are still in the game..brak,brak..the 3rd person voted out of Survivor Pearl Islands..brak,brak..the 4th person voted out of Survivor Pearl Islands..

Jon and Sandra pale in comparison.

Not only a BIG LIE but a BIG REGRET for most players...

It's a double double. Sandra, Jon, T., almost everybody lied at some point in this episode.
