Survivor One world

[Spacecadet]

kim is playing an interesting game, but she may have made her "big move" too early. If next week's preview is any indication people might gang up against her because she has identified herself as a big threat.

[baseballblondie]

If she plays it right, it could work for her. We'll have to see.

[merry18]

My heart is eternally broken. I had an inexplicable soft-spot for Michael. I will never forgive Kim!

I probably will, though, since she's playing a good game so far and she's so inoffensive as a player.

I can't believe how Troy and Jay went along with the plan. Apparently Try never really liked Michael, but him and Jay had JUST been talking about how a girl needed to go next and he turned like THAT. On the one hand, I loved that Kim was basically exploiting Troy's ego to her own advantage, but on the other hand....why, oh why Michael!

The only problem I think Kim might have is that her and Chelsea seemed to give away the fact that they're working two alliances. Especially at Tribal...there was a lot of talk about balancing alliances and figuring out what alliance to go with. Perhaps Kim should have taken a page out of Tarzan's book and refused to answer the question by saying "the game is afoot!"

Maybe next week Jay realizes he made a mistake in voting out my soulmate Michael and that's why he seems to be gunning for Kim. Maybe next week an Idol comes into play?

The girls made a great move last night. They do really need to stick together and take out at least two more boys before they consider taking out a girl. Then maybe get rid of Alicia after that because i think she is the one most likely to flip on them. If they can get rid of Jay or Troyzan then they should do it next. Leaf and Tarzan are no threat at all.

Hopefully the girls can keep it together and make it to the end and not let any guys hang around like that Chris guy that ended up winning because he was the lone guy that somehow made it to the end. Vote those boys out.

The fact that Jay and Troyzan voted with the girls was something else. I don't get quite what they are thinking, but they lost the upper hand when they voted the first guy out. If the girls can keep it together through the next two votes then they should be able to get through to the end where it all depends on who wins immunity.

[decarus]

Another great episode and another great move for the girls. Jay telling them that Troy was going to play the idol just sealed his fate. At least Troy played his idol even though the girls had switched to Jay. It was still the right decision.

I was really surprised that so many people jumped on the i'll take the food bandwagon. They gave a little too much away during that challenge pretty much saying all the girls felt safe.

This has really been a great game so far without all the silliness of the redemption island. It has made the tribal counsels tense again because you know this is it and there has been some great maneuvering going on. I still don't get what Tarzan and Leaf are doing though. I guess just trying to stay another day.

I think that the girls should vote off Troy next for certain.

I agree it was a pretty good move by the girls because troy and jay are such a threat but they did give too much away at the challenge by giving in to food. Although Im a little surprised they didnt try to hold onto the guys for one more week by eliminating a woman just to show they were still with the guys.

And what is with no jeff at the reward challenges? Troy is not a good commentator!

Guess tribal will be pretty boring the next few weeks with all the guys going next, unless one of the bottom girls tries to make a move.

[SusanBones]

It was interesting to watch Ponderosa and hear both Mike and Jay say that they hope Kim didn't vote for them. What a surprise it will be for them to find out that Kim was the mastermind! I'm wondering if Tarzan has figured that out already. It is clear that Jay didn't see if coming at all.

Troy will be next unless he gets an immunity idol. He finally figured out what the girls were planning, but it was too late for him to convince the guys to blindside Kim. It would have been a great blindside if only it worked. With the girls splitting up their votes just in case Troy played his idol, I think the men could have voted Kim off. Tarzan is right, the women are playing a better game than the men are.

[decarus]

I was worried for Kim because really Troy only needed three votes to get her out. I think it was very smart of her to switch their vote to Jay once they learned about the idol because it could have been possible for Troy to get just two more votes. Luckily there seem to be a great deal of people who are just coasting or don't really have a play to make. Yeah the only way the game could get changed up is if one of the bottom girls makes a move. They just need to continue to convince all the girls that they are going to the final three with them.

[decarus]

Well i am glad no one flipped. I actually think that Troy is wrong in what he is saying to the girls. It is not necessarily those two on the bottom. Or at least it doesn't have to be. All they have to do is convince them that they are all going to the final three. You just have to keep talking that game with everyone. That is how you win survivor. I know if i was one of the four girls who are aligned together i would rather take one of those girls who can't win then take some of the other stronger girls.

[twinsrule26]

Has anyone else noticed that Tarzan has voted off every other guy so far? As for those two ladies ,I feel Troy has it right they are on the outside looking in. If you ask me they both should be trying to better their position in the game and not just trusting in Kim's alliance to carry them to the final three .

I haven't figured out what Tarzan has been thinking at all. He has to know that the guys are getting eliminated. As much as I hate to see one alliance remain unchallenged, the guys aren't working too hard to stop them.

I agree with you about Troy. Christina has been on the chopping block several times, so she has to know that Troy was right. But she probably considers that she is the fifth person in either split, and she might trust the four girls more than she would trust an alliance with Tarzan.

Alicia's transformation has been interesting. When she was in the short-lived alliance with Colton, she was not a nice person at all. Now we are seeing a much nicer person. Has she really changed, or is it all in the editing?

[decarus]

I disagree. While it does seem like Cristina or Alicia are on the outside of the alliance they don't have to be. I think they at least have a shot if they stay with the girls. If they flip and went with the three remaining boys i don't think they would have a chance or making it to the final three. All they have to do is convince one of the girls who is in control that they would be the right one to take to the end because they can't win. A lot of people make that play and that can get you in the final with at least the chance to make the case.

It could get very messy once the girls get rid of all the boys. I was surprised that Leaf voted for Kim. He must have known that it was between him and Tarzan. If you know that then you vote for Tarzan. Then the two of them would have gone evens and he at least would have had a chance because they would have revoted.

[Spacecadet]

Part of me was kind of hoping for a flip last night but i understand why it didnt happen. It would have taken two girls to flip and the likelihood of that would have been pretty slim. although christina is most likely on the bottom and alicia is possibly as well, things can change when the numbers start dwindling and people start considering who would be best to take to the final three. Granted i think the other girls are pretty angry at christina for not taking the immunity challenge bonus from troyzan, but really its their own fault for not, any one of them could have blocked him (minus a few that had spent money) and they didnt. Also after the immunity challenge troyzan painted a large target on his back. Which means anyone who flipped and sided with him would definitely be a goner.

As for Tarzan Im not sure whats going on with him. He's probably one of the smallest threats out there at the moment but im not sure why he's voting with the girls. Maybe to try and save himself this week. I was kinda surprised the girls split their vote though. Were they worried about another idol? seems silly cause the only one looking was troyzan and he already had immunity and kim has the other idol.

[baseballblondie]

The interesting thing I realized that the moment that Troyzan doesn't win immunity, he's gone.

The thing is, though, once you decide you need to make a move there won't be anyone to make a move with. I remember from the All-Stars season when Kathy was about to get voted out she said the time to make moves are at 9 and at 7 - those are the times when you still have the numbers to make moves. That's what should have happened last night - the five should have gotten together to go against the four girls but now there aren't numbers to go after those girls anymore so they best those now four remaining people can hope for is that the four strong girls fall apart.

As for Tarzan Im not sure whats going on with him. He's probably one of the smallest threats out there at the moment but im not sure why he's voting with the girls. Maybe to try and save himself this week. I was kinda surprised the girls split their vote though.

I don't think anyone understands Tarzan He might be hoping for a spot in the finale because it seems he didn't play the game so people think no one will vote for him while he thinks he has a good chance of winning because the jury members would be upset with the other two finalists and give the win to him becaus he didn't **** anyone off.

For sure. What a shame.

[decarus]

I really think if Troy makes it to the end by winning immunity that he could win the game. There would be what five guys on the jury and five girls. They really need to get him out though i think it is unlikely that he will win all the immunity idols.

[thefirestorm]

Well, what a surprisingly great season this has turned out to be!

I love Kim! If she can keep this in control until the end, she really will be a great player! She's made some pretty strategic moves, and she's been smart about the way she acts. She reminds of Parvati, who always pulled the strings but remained likes me through it all.

I think if this four group of girls make it to the end, it will be just as good of a game as Parvati, Amanda, Cirie and Natalie in Fans vs. Favourites!

[leah49]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw an advertisement on A&E for a new show starring...RUSSEL HANTZ! Ugh. It's some kind of home repair show or something, but from the preview it looks like all he does is cause trouble. Ew.


And now back to this season. I like Troyzahn. I hate that the girls ganged up on him and want him out. Is he a threat or something? I liked Leif and wish he hadn't been voted out. I do wish some of the girls had sided with Troyzahn. I don't like the girl alliance. I just find the girls annoying.

Tarzan? He's just weird. It looks like the girls have him in their back pockets, but who knows what's going on with him.

[decarus]

I am glad to be rid of Troy. I actually think it is possible that Kim wants to take Chelsea and Christina to the end. I know that Troy seems to think that the girls who are on the bottom are just on the bottom, but it isn't that simple. If you want to win survivor you get rid of the stronger girls who could beat you in the votes like Sabrina. Though i think that they had better not let Tarzan get to the end because there are way too many guys on the jury and he may get their votes just because he is a guy even though he doesn't deserve to win.

[SusanBones]

I was surprised that Tarzan didn't vote with the girls last night. He woke up a little too late, though, to save any of the men. Another thing that surprised me about him was that during the reward challenge, he got so many votes in the "who would you trust with your life" question.

Troy getting voted off was very predictable. The only interesting thing about last night's show was what was going on with Kat. I felt really bad for her because Kim promised to take her on the reward and then went back on her word. Kim shouldn't have made a promise that she had no intention of keeping.
