I'll get back to a regular format even if the one I used last week caused a lot of reactions. 66 posts in a Fanatics thread is rare these days.

1- Troyzan (3,4,5,3,3,16): If this turns out to be his island, I will applaud. Imagine that: Me and Aruba, we'd be almost equally happy to see either Troyzan or Kim win! Unprecedented! I have to note that Troyzan used the coat-tail rider strategy for this vote: "My old Salani who, basically, have been straightforward with me, whatever they decide to do, that’s basically what I am going to do.”
He can't win that way so hopefully he makes a move on his own.

2- Kim (1,1,1,1,1,1): I have to ask: How did you react when you saw this pose?

Is Kim simply shown as being in control of the game or is she too relaxed and will soon become deadweight? She has all the options in hand but will she be able to handle the lies and secrets needed to get to the end.

Then again, we have this picture:

Is Kim the super hero??!! She is wearing the cape!!

3- Chelsea (2,5,4,2,3,5): Her opinions dominated the episode. She told us about the options, what she would want and how things could develop but, in the end, it didn't go exactly her way. She feared that a Manono would get the idol and now a Manono does have that idol. Did sleeping beauty even look for the idol?

4- Kat (7,6,3,5,8,8): How amusing; after nearly being voted out because of a poor challenge performance, she almost won the first individual challenge! I will crack up if she wins a key challenge somewhere down the road. Being so annoying and useless makes her a great goat but what if she drags the others to the end?!!

5- Sabrina (5,3,2,4,2,2): She tells us about events around her but she seems to miss that there is a game being played right there under her nose. Does she know that she isn't Kim's closest ally?

6- Michael(10,8,8,7,9,15): I am enjoying the trouble-maker role he has found for himself. After subtly throwing Leif under the bus to Colton, this time he put Jonas and Tarzan on a collision course and all he had to say was: "He (Tarzan) should have filled you in on the plan".

7- Jay (4,2,7,5,12,12): Even if he hates Tarzan, Leif and all the other deadweight, he still has to play a social game. A tea spoon of coffee could cost him the million dollars! How dumb!

8- Alicia (12,7,9,8,10,6): Colton's evacuation left her with no other options then to go back to the women. Now, Kim, Chelsea and Sabrina could sacrifice her to reinforce the trust that Jay and Troyzan have given them.

9- Christina (8,9,10,13,13,9): If the merged smiled to someone, it was Christina but we didn't even see her.

10- Leif (9,12,12, 13, 11, 11): First, he slept in a coffin, next he gets buried alive, stuck in a sand hole! Poor sand pooping Leif, no one wants to play with him.

11- Tarzan (11,13,13,14,14,12): The mercurial situation that developed from the merge could send him to the F3. Old coots with dirty underwear seem to make it there automatically. I guess it really depends on how you look at the beauty of the merge!

Booted - Jonas (6,10,11,11,4,4): I don't know if anyone heard Jay saying that he thought Jonas could pull it out because of his Chef's skills? Jay was talking about the IC but it made me laugh because some people thought Jonas could win it all because of his outdoors skills. He still needed a few lessons from Colton or, better yet, from a real Survivor player like Earl.

PS. Iltarion, yes, Cirie was voted out 4th in HvV but it took Tom's idol and a very big move by JT to get it done. Two of the best winners ever had to team up AND find an idol to get her out and they probably still don't pull it off if Amanda wasn't so dumb. Proves my point about Cirie's brilliance, I'd say!
