LAST EDITED ON 11-02-10 AT 10:37 AM (EST)

ADVISORY: Vote threads are open to all who wish to participate and cast their votes, spoilers and non-spoilers alike. The posts initiating these threads contain no spoiler information other than perhaps referencing what has been revealed in TV promos for the upcoming episode. Non-spoilers, be advised that spoilers may include information in their posts here which you may not wish to read. Spoilers, please do not include spoiler information for future episodes, stick to the episode in question.

The Rules

1. Put the name of your choice for this week's boot in the subject heading.

This is easy, just erase the bit where it says "Re: SurvivorBlowsTribe, Time to Vote..." and replace with your vote, e.g., "Kelly." Or, if you think this will be a two-boot week: "Kelly and Benry." It doesn't matter which order you put them in unless it matters to you.

This makes it easier to tally votes quickly and accurately. Nicknames are tougher to tally unless they are really obvious without actually reading your post. Other things you want to vote on (who wins what challenge, who gets first confessional, who finds the hidden frying pan), these should go in your post not in your subject line.

1b. Absentee Ballots.

I will be posting in the Fanatics Forum instructions on how to vote absentee, basically just send me your vote via PM and when I have time I will post it here. Pretty simple, a bit of work, and maybe some of you can volunteer to handle these chores in future weeks. Great way to improve your DAW count!

2. Reply only to this post.

We like a nice straight vote thread around here, it's easier that way.

EXCEPTION TO RULE 2! VOTE CHANGES!

2b. But to change your vote reply to your own post.

Your new post heading should read, for example, "VOTE CHANGE: Brenda." Or perhaps "VOTE CHANGE: Brenda and Dan" if you think it will be a two-boot week. Believe it not it is easier that way too.

3. This is not a discussion thread, do not treat it as such.

There are plenty of places on the forum to debate the merits of people's arguments, have discussions, have civil and polite disagreements, don't do it here.

But please feel free to discuss your vote in your own post, cast all the extra votes you want, we're all interested in what you have to say.

4. No graphics, particularly no sig pics.

If you must have a graphic make it pertinent to something. Thank you.

5. Have fun!

I'm gonna keep saying it until you all get it. Then I'm going to keep saying it just because.

The DAWs!

I am going with Alina this week -

kingfish writes

Previews are setting her up for a boot sometime, so I'll speculate that this week is her time. IMO she's not perceptive enough to know when she should use her HI, so I'm going to guess that she gets blindsided and leaves with it in her pocket. Along with Mr. Pool pee-er Fabio's socks. And half the camp gear.

.

All of her former alliance partners are gone...she gets pulled in and tangled up with NaOnka over the disappearing reward leftovers and becomes a pariah...Sash feels like he controls Marty, while Holly, Jane and Dan all scramble to form new alliances with the power brokers.

When the music stops, Alina is the only one without a chair...so she takes a seat on the jury instead.

It's either her, Marty, or Dan. Marty and Dan are laying low this week. Alina is the most likely boot, thanks to the drama queen NaOnka.....

I'd rather see Na'Onka go home but she's got plenty of allies. Dan's no threat, Holly's aligned with Chase, the young people need Benry's strength to help them maintain majority, and Sash can control Marty for now. Also, Na'Onka will set Alina up and make her a pariah. So Alina's going to the jury.

Big spike in her confessionals count last time, she actually had one! Our seasonal hidden boot per OFG Theory mark X section 5 article 10. This means one thing, folks, there has been a rare allignment of the planets, all of the players are actually playing the gaame. Not only are they actually playing, they are playing smart! They were born under exceptionally good stars.

Way I figure it, a wild card alliance forms among all the non-alligned players and they figure out that in order to blindside the alliance they have to target the most unexpected member of the alliance, the one who checked out on day 1, the one who really isn't there anyway, Kelly. They'll never see it coming. This is going to be historic!

Or it could mean she quits and that explains the editing, EPMB is just hiding the quit. Her alliance agrees to let her go, happy to have her be the first juror with no ill will for anyone. And they adopt Jane as their new fifth wheel. And Marty too. And Holly. And Dan. And Benry. But not Alina or Jud because she's too smart and he's too dumb. And as long as all their new fifth wheels don't compare notes, tada, the alliance gets to the finale intact! Easypeasy.

Because I said so in the SOTS

because Kirkon said so.

I will be sad to see her go.

I don't really know exactly why I am choosing Sash. I don't think Marty goes yet because too much story has been invested in him. Why vote out a non-threat like Dan? Both Jane and Holly have wormed themselves into alliances with some of the younger kids. So it seems to me a younger player goes home. But who? Naonka is all over the preview and that seems too obvious. Alina? Could very well be her. Brenda-Chase-Purple Kelly-Benry all seem safe to me. Sash has the immunity idol and was shown to be less than trustworthy at the TC last episode. I think that since Brenda has Chase back, she can afford to get rid of Sash, who is a threat and has the idol. So I'm going with him.

Sorry this was so late, haven't been online since mid-afternoon sometime.
