(They say the earliest they can fix it is December 7th.) Looking forward to your comments on the episode......so...spoil away!

Originally Posted By cstephens I had been really looking forward to tonight's episode. I've watched every incarnation since the end of the first one, but I haven't been this excited about the show in some time. I'm really liking a lot of the players, and I even like Jonathan for what he is. It was fun to watch the fireworks back at camp. But yes, Jonathan was awfully cocky at the auction. It was weird that so many of them were holding back after they'd gone a round or two. I mean, if you know the show at all, the auction doesn't go on forever. When the big platter came out that turned out to be pizza, I was really surprised there wasn't more bidding for it, especially from Becky, who got all of her money back after kicking Candice back to Exile Island. Too funny. I was yelling at the TV: "THEY HATE YOU." It was weird for Parvati to ask Becky why she was bidding for the "power" item at auction since she didn't need it. Umm, maybe because she's not taking anything for granted? The whole fish thing was interesting. I would have liked to have seen everything that happened, and the rest of the discussion among the 5. On the one hand, I see the point that it's kinda mean to exclude the 3 from the food. But then, I also totally see that after a while, you get tired of just providing for people who are doing absolutely nothing. Technically, it's Jonathan's fish, so he can share it with whomever he likes. It's a little hard to fault him for not wanting to share with people who have been calling him names. Tribal was very interesting. You could see how mad Nate still was. And they really did bag on Jonathan, but Candice really started to irritate me. She was saying that the 5 excluded the 3 from the food because they were in a position of power and didn't have to share anymore. Hello, but she completely ignored the whole "you sat around and did nothing" retort that Jonathan came back with. I was glad to see Candice go. I wonder if Adam didn't have the immunity, if he would have been kicked off instead. Well, at least Candice can't be sent back to Exile Island anymore. I think they made the right decision to kick off one of the 3 rather than Jonathan. Candice, Adam and Parvati are much more of a threat at challenge, I think, than is Jonathan. Yul made a huge mistake tonight though. When he was talking to Becky about maybe voting Jonathan off, he was talking as if his going to final two was a definite, and you could see the look on her face as she realized he was assuming that. /cs

Don't tell me Becky is turning against Yul?

When Pavarti said something that reminded me of one of my rules of thumb. When someone in their early 20s comments on how mature they are, they aren't.

If that's the case it could thow a wrench in Yul's plan to go against Jonathan in the final. If there are three, say Yul, Jonathan and Becky, the jury may decide to give the money to Becky rather than the "rat" or the "puppet master". BTW I think Yul is the best over-all players in the game. We've seen players go far using their brain and those who've done it using their brawn, but Yul does them both better than any I've seen. Although I've gotta give Jonathan his props in this department, he's playing a good mental and physical game (just not one that will get him jury votes).
Originally Posted By cstephens But the problem with that is that you could still result in a tie for first place, which isn't going to work. I can't see any other way of guaranteeing against a tie except for there only being a choice of two and having an odd number of people voting. /cs

And so is Jonathan, but in a different kind of way......
Originally Posted By Autopia Deb I totally agree and if Yul weren't in the game Jonathan would definately stand out as a good over-all player.

I'm going to miss another episode---and just when it's gettin good too. As much as I enjoy Survivor, I'm not chopping down my trees to see it.....

Originally Posted By cstephens I think voting Jonathan off was a huge mistake. If there was just Adam or Parvati, it would be harder for that single person to hang on. Since they have 2 of 6, they only need to turn one person to turn the game. Other than just being plain annoying, Adam is a serious threat to win individual immunity. I don't blame Ozzy, Becky and Yul for changing their minds about hiding the food. On the one hand, I see their point, but on the other, it seems very unsportsmanlike to hide the food. So we were looking at the TV schedule this week and realized that the finale is this Sunday. We thought it was weird that with only one show left before the two-hour finale, there are still 6 people left. After Thursday, there will be 5 people left. That means they still have to vote off 3 more people and then have the choice between the final two, all in a two-hour period. I thought I remembered that there are usually four people left at the start of the last regular episode and then 3 people left at the start of the finale. Or 4 people left at the most at the start of the finale. They still also have to solve the problem of having an even number of people on the jury. All this to do with effectively only 3 hours of show left. Does that seem weird to anyone else? /cs
