The Rules

1a. 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 on which player will get the boot, e.g., "Rick." Or, if you think this will be a two-boot week: "Rick and Whitney." 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 drops the most f-bombs, whether Keith will ever figure it out, these should go in your post not in your subject line.

("Boot" defines as voted out of a tribe, either exiled to Redemption Island or, when Redemption Island is no longer a factor in the game, eliminated from the game. Quitters are also regarded as boots though whether they would be exiled or eliminated/disqualified is unknown. It is assumed that medical evacuees would be eliminated/disqualified without prejudice.)

1b. The process for voting on which Exile on Redemption Island will be eliminated from the game.

Place your elimination vote anywhere in the subject line with the boot vote. Place an "X" in front of the name of the exile you think will lose the duel and be eliminated from the game, as in X-Keith or X-TheyKilledKenny! Um, yeah, maybe next week.

1c. Returnees.

This section is to note that it is absurdly probable for a player to be returned to the game immediately after a duel and subsequently be voted out again all within one episode. Unless it is the Messiah, of course, who has to hang around awhile before ascending, even Coach should know that.

2a. Reply only to this post.

We like to keep our vote threads nice and straight, thank you kindly.

EXCEPTION TO RULE 2! VOTE CHANGES!

2b. But to change your vote (or add additional votes) reply to your own previous vote post.

Your new post heading should read, for example, "VOTE CHANGE: Albert." Or perhaps "VOTE CHANGE: Albert and Sophie" if you think it will be a two-boot week. Should you wish to cast a vote for boot but think about it some more before casting a vote for which exile will be eliminated, or vice versa, please use this same process.

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, and you can always start a thread if it isn't redundant.

Please feel free to discuss your votes in your own post, give reasons, cast all the extra votes you want, make jokes, whatever, we are all interested in what you have to say.

4. No graphics.

If you must have a graphic please make it pertinent to something, thank you.

5. Have fun!

we know Ozzy is first boot from the shirt over Keith's head at RI on day 23 Nice catch FP!

Jim is second boot OFG theory in PIP with bow

I bet Dawn wins 1st (see pip) and ALbert wins 2nd (just a guess)

It's not necessary to know who gets Immunity -- all we need to know is that Ozzy and Jim don't get it and thus, the Pagonging of Savaii continues.

Ozzy first, no duel. Jim second, no duel.
Next week: Double duel, before another double boot.

KB

The adventures of Ozzy and Harriet or Jim in this case continues.

Ozzy and Jim.

The obvious Pagonging.

Ozzy is gone the first time he doesn't have Immunity, that is obvious and doesn't even need a story. Jim is gone next if he doesn't have immunity, but they are presenting his effort to boot Cochran as his own boot story. Yeah, they're that desperate for material this time. They've even hyped the first 10 minutes of Whitney cussing out Cochran as the greatest TV you'll ever see.

It's November sweeps, keep it in perspective.

Who wins the immunities? It really doesn't matter as long as Ozzy doesn't win the first one and Jim doesn't win the second one. But I'll go with Dawn for the first II, Sophie for the second II.

Whitney for the f-bombs.

Pretty well known that nobody is going to Ponderosa this week, and the pagonging should continue, with Ozzy and Jim as Savaii's biggest remaining challenge threats being the two guys to get the ax.

Double boot time, and the Pagonging has begun.

Next week, Whitney gets the boot.

At least we get to wonder about the ICs this week. And in turn keep hope alive.

IC9a - guessing that Albert the baseball guy can throw a strike w/coconuts when it counts.

TC9a - Ozzie voted out

IC9b - guessing that Coach wields the Klingon Bat'leth more deftly due to his T'ai Chi concentration skills.

TC9b - Jim voted out

I would bet on Albert to win the first IC as it involves tossing balls and he is the baseball player/coach. Ozzy is without immunity, and we see his shirt at RI with Keith.

Then, there is another IC involving balancing a ball on a bow. I would bet that Coach, Edna, or Dawn has the best bet at winning this, maybe Albert again?? However, one person that is not going to win it is Jim. Jim will be voted out at the next TC where he will join his brothers from Savaii, where they can curse Cochran all night long if they want to....
