Hey y'all, I posted this in sucks but I thought it was good enough to enjoy its on home here... its just something to think about. ENJOY!Okay, so we've had all this Brian and Clay final two crap, I think its time for a new idea. We have already gotten once in the recap eppy where Jeff Probst says "The ultimate Survivor." Who does he show? JAN. Now, in the "Previously on Survivor" segment and Jeff Probst once again says "Only one will remain..." and who do we see? Our friend Janny again. Does anyone recall Vecepia in the first episode with the same thing? I am still on the theory that TDT is half right, and assumed the second half of the final two. This is the first time also we have seen anything on Jan's strategy, and apparantly she knows what she is talking about. Are we being led to a Tina-esque win a la Jan? Edited to add pivotal confessionals from Jan tonight: Jan, talkng to Helen about Brian and Clay (looking serious): "Brian has played a very good game. Why do you think he's kept Clay so close? Keep your friends close and your enemies closer " From this, we finally get an idea that maybe Jan is the only one that truly realizes what the hell is going on. Jan, in confessional before TC: " Helen had come to me, because if you look at it, I could be a swing vote. If Ted and Helen have an alliance, they can pull in me, we could vote Clay out. I really had to think about it, and would think about it from what would be the best move for me in the long run. I don't think that there's any true true alliance right now, and I don't think the word "alliance" or "I will not vote against you" has really been said by any of the five; but Helen and I are very very tight. But trust at this point in the game, its very hard and a very thin line, and I might trust you with everything in another situation but this is a game, so even if someone tells you something, they might not do it." Does anyone recall Helen's swing vote position and where it got her? Is it looking up for Jan?
If your happy and you know it, Do the Cooper dance!!

6. "RE: Thanks" |
Clyde, it really just depends on whether you believe TDT (or Snewser) is "connected" enough to obtain reliable spoiler information. They've been around quite awhile and are respected by most of the people here -- and presumably they have reputations they want to uphold, or they wouldn't be doing this at all.Yes, there's always the chance that a source could be wrong (or lying), but TDT has not wavered on his spoiler, so I assume he considers the source of the spoiler to be completely bona fide. There can be no "proof", however. Even if TDT revealed his source, which he won't, would that really constitute "proof" of anything? The only corroboration will be when the F2 are known. So, have faith in the spoiler, or not, as you choose, but don't expect any other details to be revealed about it.

I agree that Jan seems to have a great grip on what is going on in her tribe. Much more than many gave her credit for. She has layed low, taken EVERYTHING in.However she said Brian keeps clay because he is his enemy. I disagree. Brian called Clay his FRIEND. He is keeping Clay close because Clay is everyone else left on the tribes Enemy, not his own. That means he would get the votes, not him. As Ted showed on the early show, he respects the game Brian played and understands he is trying to win, so would not hold it against him that he tood the sure bet "Keith" character to the end instead of the "Tina" character were the win is not only fuzzy, but difficult to envision. I think Helen would feel the same way. Especially if Clay wins Immunity and votes out Helen in the F3. Brian would have had no say in that vote, as Clay would cast the only vote. Then history would repeat itself, and the final immunity winner would come in second.

Brian called Clay his friend while holding up his middle finger as the Final 1 of 3 people. That was on purpose. Brian is keeping Clay around as his "friend" because he knows he has the best shot at winning against him with the jury.

>Ted said *twice* in his chat that JAN has a great strategy and is playing the best game everWell, in the game he didn't seem to think so. Ted's (unaired) confessional in the video archive for Episode 12: "I think Jan has one or two things going on in her mind. She either knows that she's the next person to go or she's built an alliance with Clay and Brian to vote a different way. I think those are the two scenarios that Jan is probably toggling in her mind right now. Obviously when Helen and I were away on the reward challenge that I won there was a perfect opportunity for them to talk to Jan. So she's more of a follower and so if Clay and Brian capitalized on that while we were gone, then I foresee Helen or myself going tonight." Ted obviously saw Jan as a passive player, going whichever way the wind blows her. He also didn't have a clue as to what her strategy was, or if she had one. So how can she have the best strategy? Why would Ted think she is playing the best game ever when he knows she is just being used by B/C? You're right, Brownroach. Buh-bye Jan.

>>Buh-bye Jan.<<Afraid so. And Helen too. Ted also said this about Clay in his chat: >>Without a doubt Clay got on my nerves the most! He was the most irritating person out there. Similar to the way a brother or sister may get on your nerves after living with them for a while.<< and later: >>I would describe Clay as a weasel or a snake and that's self-explanatory.<< About Brian he said: >>The confessionals that surprised me the most were Brian's. I didn't realize he was such a cold, calculating, and mischieveous person. I thought he presented an image of a person with high integrity and high respect and a potential friend, but his confessionals clearly do not match what he presented to the tribe in my opinion.<< More fuel that points to Ted having voted for Brian, IMO. He does seem a little disappointed in Brian, but, on the other hand, would he describe the person he had voted for to win $1,000,000 as "a weasel or a snake"?

I thought he presented an image of a person with high integrity and high respect and a potential friend, but his confessionals clearly do not match what he presented to the tribe in my opinion.<<More fuel that points to Ted having voted for Brian, IMO. He does seem a little disappointed in Brian, but, on the other hand, would he describe the person he had voted for to win $1,000,000 as "a weasel or a snake"? There's been a pattern of this. Ken seemed to be annoyed at Brian's confessional/behind-his-back comments in his post-Boot rounds. I think Brian had them all snowed. Conversely, I don't think I've heard a good word about Clay from the same folks. All of this points to a Brian rout, IMO. I have ZERO doubt that Ted voted for Brian. Jan and Helen will vote Brian because they would rather vote for the player who outfoxed them than the player who rode coattails to the end. Don't let Helen's "loyal subject" talk fool you, she'd have likely done the same to Brian. She's no dummy. She knows going against Clay in the Finals is the smart move. Helen may be pissed that she got outfoxed, and she'll likely make Brian squirm in the F2 jury question segment, but she'll give him her vote...reluctantly. Clay's only hope is the Sookies. He won't get Jake's vote. Jake will recognize that Brian played the better game. Ken's comments post-Boot lean toward a Brian vote (not wanting to out his porn past and his grumpiness about Brian's mockery that he didn't see on the island). The more I think about it, the more I think Penny will vote Brian as well. She may like Clay more, but she'll also recognize that Brian is more deserving. I think Erin is Clay's lone hope of not getting shut out. Maybe if they did their voting after E13 aired, there would be a different outcome, but it looks like Brian kept his shenanigans away from the rest of the players. Very shrewd. Fester

It's interesting to go back and watch the first four or so episodes and notice how Brian has changed. Or maybe changed in the way he has been edited. In those episodes, there are no confessionals with him making cocky and arrogant comments. Just from his tribal interactions, he seems like a very nice and reasonable guy. It's not difficult to see how easily he played everyone.

Brian is/was an actor. I even wonder how much of his to-the-camera talks are acting. He has watched the past seasons where players like Jeff Varner, Lex, Rob M. were enjoyed by the audience because of their little catty chats with the viewers. It could all be an act with Brian. Is he acting when he talks to his fellow tribemates or when he talks to the viewers, or both?
