First of all, Thank you EarlCP for the kind words. I had a good example to follow. If you are a Survivor fan, go to our spoiler board and read Veruca Salt's editing thread. There are no source spoiler in that thread contrary to some others that you better avoid if you don't want to read "the winner is...". The analysis she makes blows my mind each time!

Rosie, nice analysis, I knew you'd like clean sheets! Thank you for reminding me of Fran and Barry's fun selling fish. Their portrayal wasn't all negative contrary to my analysis. I also liked your comparison of the tasks by our leading teams. Editing wise, the Frat Boys took a small step in the right direction, you've reminded me just how far they have to go!

IrishCharm, I welcome your point of view. You shouldn't be hated or bashed for explaining what you see in the story. We do tend to pull for the ones we see as winners but reading the editing is never right or wrong. As an example, suppose someone had said in season #7:
"Uchenna and Joyce are going to win because they feature Uchenna's strength every chance they get. Uchenna is going to win the last roadblock and carry the team to the win"
Suppose someone else had said "Romber are going to win because they are so much better competitors than anyone else. They'll win unless they are victims of bad luck since they have had good luck from the start".

The first poster would feel proven right that U&J won but in actuality #2 was closer to what really happened. All that to say(yes Rosie, I am verbose!) that I don't see it as being right or wrong, more like learning to read the story!

I appreciate your reminder of the wheelchair race. It appeared so futile that I didn't really pay attention, reading it only as "boys will be boys". It could be significant, an another sign BJ and Tyler finish ahead of the Frat Boys.

Just to defend my "pick", Uchenna and Joyce as well as Chip and Kim won and I don't recall any conflicts inside their teams. With other teams, Chip did yield Colin and Christie but that was one time and late in the season.

As far as your final 3, it is different to say the least! We'll have to wait and see. If it turns out right, I'll have been able to appreciate the outcome more for someone having read their story.
