I'M SO BORED WITH ALL THIS PAGONGING!! Nowhere in this past week's show we were even TEASED with any indication Lil Kim was on her way out. But evidently THEY all knew it. She even said herself in her chat on The Early Show AND in Survivor Insider," I knew I was going. It was logical." Did anyone notice how NO ONE seemed upset at the TC at all by her going? Unlike the teary good-bye to Frank and the shoulder squeezing of last week. Teresa won my heart in that moment. I actually felt myself caring about her. However, as True Dork so wittily points out, she's "skilfully manuevered herself into a 4-to-1 minority."
Well, she has to win immunity and then she can wreck some havoc, but she certainly hasn't fufilled Kelly's "manipulator" tag, although as OFG pointed out, Kelly never said "Master Manipulator".
However, next week's episode appears to be just another Pagonging Dead Zone. Except that applying the OFG theory, Teresa, the most logical next bootee, isn't seen AT ALL in the vid caps for the promo. Or at least not yet. Does that mean she wins the Immunity and stays? Causing the "Lex's alliance to crumble" as Frank so gleefully pointed out in EW.
I must say that Kim P. chat did not even SOUND like she was typing the answers herself. They all sounded so pasteurized. They sounded like EPMB was doing it. Oh no! He's in Tahiti! Is he back yet?
Lil Kim's "surprise" that there was this "strong alliance of 4", and it seems strategy was something she left to Teresa or Brandon. She also admitted to not watching the TV series "enough". Duh...
But she looked dazzlingly pretty, when she was cleaned up. She's almost unrecognizable.
Well, even with all MB'S switching, etc. the Old tribes drew back to each other like steel filings to magnets.
The LAST two hour Final Four episode better be a humdinger, is all I can say, or I just give up.
And I'm one of the most loyal Survivor-viewers imaginable...
What must the rest of America be thinking?
I keep holding on to Frank's EW quote that "Lex's alliance was about to crumble." Well, it looked as concrete as the Hoover Dam as the votes were revealed at the TC.
Now there's just one more RC left, isn't there? And this would involve the unexpected arrival of a family member in Africa, like Colby's Mom turning up in the Outback.
We can only hope it's Teresa's husband. Or Ethan's mother.
Ethan better keep winning the ICs after that, or they'll all turn on Mr. Popularity next.
I wonder what Ethan's "I'm so alone" signified in the Survivor Insider this week. That he's going? I and most of America will stop watching if that happens...
Lil Kim came right out and SAID it in her SI confessionals. "I'm going next." Why did they keep Teresa and get rid of Kim? A possible IC threat? But she won NOTHING!
If I were EPMB I would now try to make the next IC be something that the person who I wanted to continue in the game could win. Maybe it's soccer? If it's an endurance test, a hand-on-the-pole thing you know Teresa will be there FOR DAYS doing it, if she has to...Is there enough time left in the game for another endurance challenge like that?
I can't believe it's almost over, but it is....
