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., "Abi." Or, if you think this will be a two-boot week: "Abi & Carter." 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 reward, who wins immunity, who cries the hardest that should be easy, if it is the last week for HIIs yet), these should go in your post not in your subject line.
2. Reply only to this post.
We like a nice straight vote thread around here, yes we do. It's easier that way.
EXCEPTION TO RULE 2! VOTE CHANGES!2b. But to change your vote do reply to your own vote post.
Your new post heading should read, for example, "VOTE CHANGE: Malcolm." Or perhaps "VOTE CHANGE: Malcolm & Lisa Teasrducts" if you think it will be a two-boot week.
3. This is not a discussion thread do not treat it as such.
Make your case as much as you want (please), but there are plenty of places on the forum to debate the merits of people's arguments, have discussions, have civil and polite disagreements, this is a vote thread.
But please feel free to discuss your vote(s) in your own post, cast all the extra votes you want, make jokes, we're really all most interested in what you have to say.
4. No graphics.
Well, unless you insist. If you do include a graphic please make it pertinent to something in this episode.
5. Have fun!
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music till you die.
I posted my reasoning earlier...The only way Carter doesn't get booted this coming episode is if he wins immunity. Otherwise, he's gone, case closed.
Why? Look at the jury, he's got more friends on there than anyone else left in the game. Look at his immunity challenge performance - two wins and two seconds in the last four ICs. Don't think the others realize this?
The numbers are also in favour of the main alliance (Skupin, Denise, Lisa, Malcolm) to be able to boot someone outside of their alliance before the jockeying begins for the stretch drive. If, let's say, Abi is booted this episode, then you risk having Carter go with Malcolm/Denise (as I believe he's more likely to do) to boot one of Skupin/Lisa in a F5 setting. Malcolm/Denise (the more strategic pair) would be thinking of how they can get to the end and consider switching things up.
If Carter doesn't win immunity then he HAS to go to keep things from getting chaotic. Abi can be easily booted once they're satisfied she holds no further purpose as a voting chip or becomes untrustworthy because she's no threat to win IC (last episode notwithstanding).
Malcolm will NOT be booted this coming episode because he hasn't had a build-up in his story yet, and the stuff with his brother will likely be the start of a boot story the following episode or a build-up of a reason why he doesn't get the final jury votes because right at this moment in the game, there isn't a player left who can beat Malcolm straight-up in a jury vote other than perhaps Carter if the jury is sufficiently angry enough (but we know Carter won't make the end game because he's had ZERO character development). Malcolm hasn't had the character development that a winner would get, so time's running out to give us reasons why he won't win.
Carter is the obvious choice for this week's boot with Abi as the only plausible alternative boot.
