Depending on how you count recaps.

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 where it says "Re: SurvivorBlowsTribe, Time to Vote..." and replace with your vote, e.g., "Sash." Or, if you think this will be a two-boot week: "Sash and Benry." It doesn't matter which order you put them in unless it matters to you. Don't think we really have to worry about two-boot for the rest of the season.

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 speaks up/shuts up more), 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, and you too can volunteer to handle these chores in future weeks.

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: Chase." Or perhaps "VOTE CHANGE: Chase and Jane" if you think it will be a two-boot week. If no one is ever going to use the HIIs they may as well just kill them.

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!

That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.

Vote early, vote often. Right?

From the way Holly, Jane, Chase and Sash (Sash?! Really? - there must be some wicked editing going on) we're firming up their aliance this past episode I'm going with a Benry ouster.

Woot - finally got one. But the editing was pretty blatant last week.

Looks like it might be Benry's turn this week

Choosing to keep the tarp and rice will surely come to bite her in the behind.

Hopefully they will burn his hat first!

Get rid of the possible jury threat before she gets too close...

Sash decides to stick with Chase, Holly and Jane. This leaves Benry, Dan and Fabio out in the cold. Dan's no threat to the majority alliance and between Benry and Fabio, Benry's viewed as the stronger one. Out he goes.

The spoilers must be slipping since no one has ruined it for me this week!

It was strange that Benry was partly forgotten as target last week so I'm guessing it was to make us forget his turn is coming soon. If not, Marty's boys' club could reunite and vote out Jane.

...it's time for you to go!

Chase wants Benry gone, Chase has HII.

I sure wish it was Sash or Chase that gets the boot...Benry was one of the few daws that I liked this season....I really feel like logical folks had a hard time playing this season because the people they were stranded with were so illogical, selfish, and total unpredictable....

I didn't even realize he was on the show for the first half. Then he pops up and now he is gone.

LAST EDITED ON 12-08-10 AT 04:10 PM (EST)

Sash is the swing vote with an immunity idol in his back pocket.

He appears to have made promises with Holly, Jane and Chase and will probably chose to vote with them, making Dan, Jud and Benry the likely targets.

Dan is no threat to win challenges or get votes at TC, so he is probably safe. Jud is on Jane’s good side and also appears to be a good guess to win immunity, leaving Benry as the logical boot.

The misdirection points to everyone except Benry as potential boot candidates, pretty much confirming Benry by his absence from that list.

Sorry this is late, haven't been online much today.

Sash, Fabio, Dan and Benri hatch a plot to vote out Jane while she's out on a Reward trip.

Can't argue with that.
