"Chelsea - ...Her asking Jay about voting for Michael in the shelter was just more smoke and mirrors. It meant nothing."

HMMM..sure appeared to mean something to Kim who expressed her displeaure over Chelsea's actions. Unless you believe Kim's confessional was not sincere and completely scripted.

"She just hates losing. Just another thing I respect about her."

Do you know anyone who LOVES losing? I don't. What I respect are those who handle losing with some class and good sportsmanship. Chelsea's outburst was totally uncalled for. You stated a little while back the two things keeping her from a Miss South Carolina title are "age" and "desire for world peace." Now I have a third...being a potty mouth. She'd kiss "Miss Congeniality" goodbye and probably be kicked out of the pagent as well. LOL

"Troy - Mike made it clear that he and Troy never cared for each other. This explains why he bought Kim's story so easily. For all we know, it wasn't even a story. Maybe Mike really was floating the idea of going after Troy."

Oustanding call. Time will tell if this bites Kim where the sun don't shine somewhere down the road.

"Christina - I was really glad she got a reward. She is in big trouble now that the big target is gone. Don't buy the edit next week either. Her getting the boot doesn't mean the guys are making a comeback. The guys being down to four makes her expendable."

If memory serves me correct, quintessential male-basher Ami thought the same thing in Vanuatu, when the women had an astonishing 5-1 advantage, thinking Eliza was "expendable." We all know what happened then. I realized Kim is more "calculating" whereas Ami's decisions were based more on emotion...but just saying.
