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., "Reynold." Or, if you think this will be a two-boot week: "Reynold & Malcolm." 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 which challenge, do HIIs get played, who has first confessional, what sort of food will be rewarded), these should go in your post not in your subject line.

2. Reply only to this post.

We like a nice straight vote thread. It's easier that way.
I'm guessing this week there will be no fear of anyone having to do vote tallies.

EXCEPTION TO RULE 2! VOTE CHANGES!
lol, not this week

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

Your new post heading should read, for example, "VOTE CHANGE: John." Or perhaps "VOTE CHANGE: John & Yoko" 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, 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.

Unless you insist. If you do include a graphic please make it pertinent to something in this episode.

5. Have fun!

and you tell me over and over and over and over again my friend you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction ah no no you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

no conqueration for him or his stoopid family.

Thus creating forty blessed seconds of peace before some idiot casts this family for their next reality show.

Brandon. Pretty much spoilered by the trailers for this episode.

The only thing he conquers is his sanity. You know that you've conquered your own sanity when your own tribe wants to concede the IC and have a TC just to get rid of you!

The only thing that could make this weeks show better, would be if Brandon got into a fight with Phillip. Being an ex-federal agent (or so he says), Phillip should have been trained in some sort of killer karate or kung-fu. Or if that did not work, at least be able to run fast, or climb a tree.

I just notice that no one is considering the possibility that, after sending Brandon home, Jeff tells him that will still play the IC and another TC afterwards.

A thought for Estee: How about a repeat of TAR: The Family Edition with Russell, his brothers and Brandon?!

The possibility crossed my mind before this. I just hope Bruck doesn't have any stocks which would benefit from war profits.

tictictictictictic..
BOOM!!!

Don't know about the RC but Gota looked like they were having fun in camp, relaxed and laughing, so I'll say they win.

IC is a no-brainer this week, there probably won't even be one. It turns into an intervention Bikal TC instead.

What sets off the ticking timebomb Brandon? Phillip Bonapartes him one time too many.

And this is what happens when a Hantz doesn't get his way, they sure show you, in his head he's thinking: "Ha, you'll think better of it next time you don't let me get my way!" Idiot, wuss.

Since the RC challenge involves nuts, and there's also coconuts involved, I think Bikal will win RC.

I also think that Secret Agent Man will realize that there are too many residents on Stealth Squad and that he really doesn't like having anyone in the tribe who can compete with him for craziest Survivor. With Brandon's sparkling personality, they realize the only way to get rid of him is to throw a challenge. Brandon responds in the most mature way he can, by throwing a hissy fit and scaring the crap out of everyone.

Since the producers know there's a different between funny scary and crazy scary, they let Bikal out of the challenge and let them vote out Brandon before he can REALLY let his tribe know how he feels.

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

Special Agent Lance Goldfinger, code name Sunburn, checking in.

Intel tells me that Special Agent Drymouth Pink Panther will encounter (there's that word again) hostile enemy fire and Chief Commander Probst will convene an emergency meeting to deal with said hostile enemy and remove the threat ASAP.

Bye bye LilTroll ... And please let this be the end of the Hantz dynasty on TV.

Special Agent Spark Diva Here....Code name "The Eunich"?!?!?! LOL

Bu-Bye Brandon. I know this episode will make your family welcome you home with pats on the back and a "job well done". As for me...I hope some day you get the meds you need.

Yes, the time has come for all dysfuncial people to be removed...

I love the previews with him not wearing shoes to the IC. WTH? He looks like he is about ready to open a can of whoopa$$!

Stealth-R-Us Agent "The Bamboo" sending a coded message from Tokyo.

Brandon. Your Uncle doesn't need repeating.

Based on the vidcaps, it looks like they boot Brandon before the IC... and why waste such a good challenge? They must go through with playing it.

(bt maybe they play it as a second Reward? get rice to replace the stuff Brandon ruined? and a nice chair that he knocked over?)

So if they do go through with the challenge as immunity, the most likely to be kicked out are Corinne (they mentioned her in an earlier ep), or from the fans, someone weak and not in the main alliance... which I guess means Matt?

Since I like the fans less than I like these "favorites" (and I use the term loosely), I'll go with Matt.
