Thanks Loudmouth,Sounds like MB is trying to increase viewership by pulling some of the Gen-xers from "Friends". At the same time, it may also be misdirection, again steering people away from considering a Teresa boot...  Krautboy

Veddy interestink!...Yes, Krautboy, this is all directing us away from Teresa. Also, Brandon and especially Kim Pee have not had sufficient face-time for a boot. This is obviously going to fill in the blanks on them.However, as I've always maintained it's the Boronic dynamics that remain shrouded in mystery. Especially Ethan and his alliances.The unanwered question- Who ARE his two best friends? Well, Lex is obviously one of them, and the feeling is mutual.But is the second one - Tom? Or Kelly? Does anyone remember from S2 that never ONCE was Tina EVER focused on in an episode? We knew very, very little about her until maybe the Final Two episode when they HAD to give her face time. So we never saw a show that focused on the eventual winner, and we also never saw her alliance/relationship with Colby, which would have totally blown the surprise ending had we known it. Anyone who has gone to TinaWesson.com knows that Tina is an extremely Christian woman. So was Rodger, hence their bond toward the end. That "trait" was never delineated on the air. Nor was Mike Skupin's christianity. Silas was a Christian VJ. Ethan and Kelly are Jewish. We really don't know the backgrounds of these people, yet. Although the l/E/T alliance seems to be ruling the game. And has been for a long time. Tom also is MUCH smarter than they are painting him, of course. Is he closer to Lex or to Ethan? To Lex. And farmers, even goat farmers, who have farms as big as he seems to, aren't necessarily poor people. In today's world anyone who can successfully run a large farm is considered a very good businessman indeed, and not just some hick. Now who HAVEN'T we seen much of? Well, up until the last episode Teresa was there-but-not-there, and, of course, the Invisible Woman, Kim Pee. Of course, the more we see of her, the less there is to discuss... Kelly has had beaucoup face-time on Survivor Insider for WEEKS and WEEKS. And while she puts her own case forward, she seems to be a fountain of misinformation. And she didn't back up her alliance with Clarence and instead VOTED HIM OFF!!! Lex could stir up a witch hunt against Teresa, but Big Tom LIKES her. A LOT and so does Ethan. And Tom's going to lobby with Lex to get rid of some else, probably Brandon, whereas Ethan is going to want to get rid of physical threat Frank.
So all three of The Testosterone Trio are gonna have different POVS on the next episode. Who trumps the other two is gonna tell us who really IS the boss of this team.
And the Some-Boo-Boos are all gonna vote in a block against Lex. Also, should Lex go in a tie breaker before Mamakim and Kelly, their alliance will become VERY important. Everyone seems to think that Ethan and Kelly have a secret alliance. Are they the final two? Is that what MB is trying to hide? What evidence have we seen of an Ethan-Kelly duo-to-the-end? Anyone?

Predicting next episode boot will be difficult, but I will toss my two cents in for what they are worth. Lex will witch Hunt, when he finds out that it is Teresa, it will take some wind out of his sails. Tom is hell bent on Brandon to be voted out... this actually bothers me because there is no basis other than the obvious edited bigotry (who knows how he really feels) to vote him off yet. Ethan is nebulous, VERY nebulous. What I can see is Kelly deriving much pleasure from Lex's Paranoia, and in a shocking 4-4-1 vote she votes lex, which will shoot his paranoia thru the roof. Then she can line up like a good Boran girl and vote a Samburo off in the re-vote. That way, she gets another leg up on Lex, AND Votes a Samburo. She also send a message to the remaining Samburo's that there is a possible defection. The following week, LEX can be targeted and every Samburo will have One vote or less and the LET is gone. Then. Ethan will side with Kelly and mama Kim out of nessisity, and tag Tom along. Tom is a sheep (nopun towards his goat heritage) Kelly can play both sides of the game. If needed she will dump Ethan for Brandon or lil'kim... I suspect Brandon because he is not as physical as lil'kim. so a potential Final four, Barring Immunity runs... is Kelly, Mama Kim, Brandon, and Ethan (possibly Tom) Tom would be an easier choice because he has prior votes and since it could be a tie, he would be a goner for sure.
But that is Fantasy Survivor for Coolbeans. If I were in Kelly's Shoes, I would throw a Vote on Lex, just like Tom voted Clarence twice, "Just as a reminder of the mistake he made" and the following TC get a majority to get lex off.
my two cents, tell me what you think. Coolbeans56

LAST EDITED ON 11-28-01 AT 01:50 AM (EST)>Maybe--just maybe the tale of the story is that Samburu
>now comes together and somehow wins the game. There are 2
>members remaining from both factions--a divided tribe that
>failed, but when they come together they win the game.
>That would be a story that MB would love to show-- with
>a moral and anything. True. I just don't see it yet... but the next episode (or the one after) should really tell the whole story of how the final few weeks will go -- I wonder if MB put the recap episode here for this purpose because he knows the game is going to change right here?
>What is in the back of my mind is that no one from
>Boran (aside from Clarence who is now gone) has a
>significant amount of facetime from the beginning.
I would submit that Kelly has received a rather large amount of face-time since about the 3rd episode, although you could argue that her commentary didn't get more significance until AFTER she, along with Lex and Tom, went to Samburu. She's received far more face time on the Insider, but also on TV as the unofficial co-spokesperson along with Clarence.
>It seemed that the whole pre-merge seemed to be
>the Samburu story. Ogakor dominated the pre-merge
>facetime too.
That's true... this was in the back of my mind all along, and that's why I'm keeping my mind open to the possibility of a huge backstab by a Boran to switch over to the remaining Samburus. On the other hand... what if MB is hoping we all (the average viewer and the jaded spoiler) think back to the first two Survivors and say "hey, the fighting tribe came back to win both times" and we expect the same to happen again here? We get fooled again. Ok... this is a reach, but that's what MB does, screw people's minds up.
>Tina never really got an entire episode all to herself--but
>she was the focal point of many sub plots. All her
>backstabbing, teaming up with Keith to convince Colby
>to swich against Jerri and Amber, rescuing the rice etc.
Who might fit that kind of profile to date in this game? I would submit that Kelly and perhaps Frank and Ethan would fit this profile so far.

Peppy, it's definately the easygoing Ethan. Who now seems to have alliances not just with Lex and Tom, but Mamakim and Kelly, AND Frank and Teresa AND BRANDON AND KIM PEE! He's just an all around alliance-kinda-guy. He's bonded with EVERYbody. And they all like him. He can't lose. He's just got to keep winning the immunity, like Colby did, or they'll vote him off as too strong. But first I think we're gonna see the women and Brandon go after Tom and Lex.
