So did I see correctly -- did Penner give Abi the finger?!! Will have to rewatch, but looked like they blurred it. If so, that's hilarious. Cannot wait to watch the Ponderosa clip tonight.

Penner's finger to Abi aside, I felt like the editors were telling us as the audience to totally disregard everything Abi had to say at TC tonight. I felt like Abi's arguments FOR Denise being a slam dunk could actually backfire in terms of the jury. Or perhaps it's more that Abi really crossed the line in calling Mike a moron and an idiot (he was quite composed, by the way), and that actually garnered Skupin some sympathy and credibility with the jury. It just had the vibe of, we're being hit over the head that Lisa and Mike cannot possibly win against Malcolm/Denise...and yet it seems that the irony could very well be that one of these two, the supposed "lowliest" and most unlikely at the start of the game, could very well win. (I'm saying this as a huge Denise fan, by the way. And her underdog story certainly also fits in with this theme -- each of these F3 had a long, hard battle to get to the end.)

As others have noted, the contrast between Lisa and Denise at TC tonight was also clearly played up. Lisa sure managed the jury very well with her Tandang comment. In the end, it could very well come down to appealing to the former Tandangs on the jury to decide whether they want to be "loyal" and reward one of their own tribe to win, or give the win to a Matsing.

Loved Mike's victory dance walking out of TC tonight. This really is a great F4 and as Jeff mentioned in his recent article, all can make a wonderful case why they should win.
