"Survivor Blows Tribe, It's Time to Vote (Thanksgiving Episode)!"
Posted by Brownroach on 11-23-05 at 11:50 AM
LAST EDITED ON 11-23-05 AT 11:59 AM (EST)

I hope SherpaDave will excuse my starting this thread this week, but it's getting late and a lot of folks won't be around tomorrow. Thanks to Q for the reminder.

The Rules
1. Please put the name of your choice for this week's bootees IN THE SUBJECT HEADING! This is really easy. Just erase the bit where it says "Re: SurvivorBlows Tribe, It's Time to Vote!" and replace with your vote, i.e., Cindy. This makes it easier to tally votes quickly and accurately. Oh, and btw... nicknames are tougher to tally unless they're REALLY obvious without actually reading your vote.

2. Reply ONLY to this post! Curves on women are good. Curves on vote threads are bad. The first part bears repeating: I like curves on women (which would explain why I haven't seen any episodes this season). Y'know, I'm not sure if I've been clear enough about this. Curves on women are really great things. Y'know what else is good? A nice MLT. Mutton, lettuce, and tomato with just a little bit of mayonnaise. Mmmmm.

EXCEPTION TO RULE 2! VOTE CHANGES!

If it just so happens that you wanna change your vote for whatever reason, REPLY TO YOUR ORIGINAL POST! Your new post heading should read "VOTE CHANGE: Danni (or Whoever)". That said, there is not an exception to the fact that curves on women are good.

3. THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION THREAD! DO NOT TREAT IT AS SUCH! There are plenty of places on the Spoilers Forum to debate the merits of people's arguments. Let's keep it out of here, please.

4. No sig pics! It was suggested that because this can be such a long thread, sig pics make it really hard to load for folks with dial-up connections. So show some respect to your slower brethren (and sistren). And really, if I can refrain from flashing the greens at 100 posters, surely you can refrain just this once from extolling IceCat's animated glory, no?

5. Have fun. That's an order.

I think clock has run out on Gary this week. He threw his Hail Mary Pass when he won the hidden II, then Jamie dropped the ball on the next drive, but...Gary has no more plays in his playbook. Judd will insist he go this week if he does not have immunity, and Steph will go along with it to placate him.

Falls down, goes (Hoge)boom. Finally. But they'll try to make it look like Judd and/or Stephenie is in trouble.

ETA: Happy Thanksgiving to all Blowsters!

Thanks BR..I was just going to start this!!


RC: Cindy and Rafe go on reward prob Rafe wins the "break the pot" challenge Cindy in second but it could be the other way too.It really doesn't matter what is important is WHO BREAKS WHO's POT...VS is just waiting, pencil in hand to take voluminous notes, for this challenge!!

IC: Rafe, who knew? I love this Remember the details of a story challenge--Rudy was made famous for his "I dunno" answers!! So who is the "I dunno"er this time? Judd? Lydia?


Boot: Judd is misdirection and Gary the smooth shady landscaper is benched...

Way too busy IRL...

But as VS reminded me in her appropriately long thread - the motto stands: sink or swim!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

eta VS You just want me to remind you about your pretty sig pic

So, a quick note on longevity... Danni is the top candidate, Cindy still a possibility (though you raised excellent observations limiting the chances of a Cindy win). We might be set up for a S4 winner's edit - but if it's Cindy I can't help but wonder why we were never shown how and why she bled Nakum yellow up to the switch. Nah, you're probably right - unless things change drastically in the next eps... (I was somewhat surprised when I re-watched the S4 ending on OLN, that Vee wasn't as inveesible as I thought she was.)

Have a wonderful saucy continuation of your day and enjoy tomorrow!

Only chance he has is Judd cutting his own throat or Immunity now.

Rafe, Steph, Lydia and Cindy control the game, but Steph needs to find a way to keep Judd around and get rid of Rafe.

Since everyone took the best football references.....

Never mind my selection; it doesn't coincide with the editing thread anyway I'm feeling rather saucy today with the upcoming holiday.

As emy said the boot means nothing to me the CHALLENGE on the other hand.....

Besides, this is usually the only way I have to greet forehead

My heartfelt wishes to everyone for a wonderful holiday!


ETA: forehead, it seems that you still need to remind me about sig lines even after all this time

The QB gets sacked big time and the defence led by Sackmeister Steph take the ball into the end zone and do a T.O. dance over his prostrate body at Tribal Council...

If spoiler says Danni finishes final 4, she needs Gary. I was beginning to like Judd, but oh well.

Its the most open ep in a while, Judd's also in danger and who knows, now is a good time for a shake up. I think the most likely to go is Gary though.

I'm going with a longshot because getting rid of Stephawhine would make the remaining eps more enjoyable.

The QB has done a good job up to now of keeping the blockers in front of him, but his game is done now as there's no one left to hide behind.

Played well. Lasted much longer than he should have for the position he was in. I don't think Steph will let him get any closer to the end than this.

"Vote Tally #1"

This is post number 48 for the first vote tally, with 47 votes cast.

Gary - 36
Judd - 8
Stephenie - 2
Lydia - 1

Total votes - 47

Cindy, Danni, and Rafe are all still UTR.

Edit to add one more vote that got in before I posted.

"GARY"
Posted by Outfrontgirl on 11-24-05 at 06:10 PM
I forgot to vote, seemed pretty unnecessary to weigh in really:

I'll miss Gary. He was a good player who always kept his cool and wasn't afraid to try to negotiate. The swap hurt him. Tom Westman winning the preceding Survivor hurt him because the silver-haired fit guy couldn't fly UTR.

Why not Judd? Well, the editing has been revving up the face time for the post merge bootees and the arcs have been stacked kind of like a sequence of waves coming in. Brandon, BJ, Jamie, Gary, and Judd's arc is one step behind Gary as I see it.

Meanwhile, Cindy and Lydia are starting to get some notice as the pressure starts for them to play some game.

Steph and Rafe have been playing all along. Danni is still lying low as the threats get taken out.

I think this episode is Gary's swan song while the beginning of Judd's undoing takes the stage but doesn't culminate until next time.

Game logic: it's just time. Gary is trying to weasel his way in to an endgame and Steph fears him. Dodged two TC's, third time he's out.

Note: F7 = Steph's position in Palau. This time, she gets to boot the Tom figure at F7. Interesting symmetry. This was the point where Gregg said, if Steph isn't gone, this will turn out as the Steph story, and I think the same could be said of Gary this season. I think he has had the best story of any player in that he's been dodging bullets ever since the swap.
