That could bring irony to a whole new level.

Imagine Chris and 6 women being the Final 7. Couple this with Chris' statement that he can "outwit guys but not women since they are as thick as thieves" (paraphrase). Now, imagine, that he makes it all the way to F2, outwitting and outlasting every one of the women. Irony indeed.

Not only that, but Chris was shown twice last episode saying "It's not over, yet". Chris is likely to go far, IMO

That's why I'm really leaning towards a Chad boot this week. Chris's quote seems to stand the test of time while others fall by the wayside.
DRONES

I agree with you Shakes. It was in the first episode that Chris couldn't stay on the balance beam and blew the challenge for the men. He almost got the boot.

So JP might say something like, "How does it feel to be in the final 2 when you were almost booted in the first episode?"

Agree with Shakes, She just won (RC). Deflates the statement. But who knows, if she wins, it will become, perforce, THE TELLING QUOTE.

In this quest (looking for the QUOTE) we have quite a number of examples from which to choose, and by multiple survivors, Ami's second to no man quote still sticks with me, and several from Chris alone. So whoever wins will probably have a quote that can, in hindsight, be THE TELLING QUOTE.

Rich's quote was the first, and has its place in the annuls of all time quotes, but the very best, to me, was Robb's quote in A$$, "I'll win the money and get the girl. What's wrong with that?" (or something like that, I'm probably paraphrasing. and I'm not going to attempt to write Robb-ese).

Because this actually foreshadowed the top TWO, and that he would win the money whether or not he got first, and what would happen for the top two after the A$$ was over. They may or not be a permanent pair, but he did get the girl. And at least some money.

Twila has made several different quotes. She said "she was in it to win." She would cut their throats before they got around to cutting hers." This is a game and we're all in it to play."

But there have also been quotes made by others in regards to Twila. Chris said, "Twila is too stubborn to qive in."
Sarge said,"I'd go side by side with Twila, she is as good a person as they come."
Plus, some of them made fun of her when she was originally on the show. Some of those are now gone. Not Twila.

How about a few episodes back, when Jiffy asked Ami if she expected to get this far, and instead of the standard "no, I always feel vulnerable" crap, she said, "yes, I did."

>How about a few episodes back,
>when Jiffy asked Ami if
>she expected to get this
>far, and instead of the
>standard "no, I always feel
>vulnerable" crap, she said, "yes,
>I did."

...how does that mean anything? That just shows her character.

The "key" to the key quote is that it really stands out when it is said, usually because it is put into the episode almost out of context of whatever story Burn-it is telling at the time.

So don't take the simple
fact that I think Shakes is godlike to mean that I think he isn't an ass. -Samiam 10/12/04

A man will be going this week; unfortunately it is Chad. There is no reason to believe the women or most of them will not get rid of another male; this has been their goal. Chris's arc has risen again and he was third in the pecking order of Lea, Chad, Chris. I like Chad but unfortunately the women have the majority.

As far as winning quotes, I never subscribe fully to this but it definitely plays a part in the winner. But we never fully know when it comes and who it comes from (as it doesn't have to be by the mouth of the winner)

If Chris were to win, I found his first episode confessional very telling:

But this game, you gotta outwit, outplay, outlast people. You don’t have to outbalance them.”

This game was heavy with harmony and balance as a theme BUT this was embodies by the women as we saw constantly how they wanted a harmonious tribe and so forth. I would find it greatly interesting and ironice if the man who could not balance himself on the beam and shown falling over and over and over (almost to the point where you did wonder why they showed it so darn much) that his vision of the game was that outbalancing (the women's theme) is not what this game is about but rather, outplaying and outlasting

It is one of the best quotes, key quote or not. Game aside, it's just a witty remark.

There is also the quote by Lisa to Eliza in Episode 4,"Really it all comes down to you Eliza, it all comes down to you."

That may be a quote about F3 immunity winner...Eliza decides who is in F2.

This could also mean that Eliza is the deciding vote in a 4-3 jury.

Please abide in my words, for my references speak of the truth that is within me.

Chris pulls it off and wins. Here is why:

In the beginning of the show with the ceremony the men were split from the women. It was demonstrated at that point in time that Vanuatuu is a male-dominated society. (*insert reminder of how a woman won S6: Amazon*)

Brady climbed the pole and took the idol back to the men's camp. Ironically, the men kept losing early challenges before the swap, and entered into the merge down in numbers.

However, the power of the idol has already determined that a man would be blessed with victory.

We may not have been given the same "key quotes" as we have in the past, but I believe that we were told from the beginning that a man would win. After the Chad boot, the winner had to be Chris.

Interesting ... I kinda forgot about the spirit stone.

Well so did everybody else, including MB. It hasn't been shown or mentioned since forever. I wonder if they even still have it.
