Originally Posted By seanyoda Yes, Terry failed to manipulate the vote. Hello. If you're going to try to get people to be turncoats, you have to convince them that they are better off joining you. He failed to do that. Actually, he was stupid to reveal that he has the hidden idol. Lets look at the numbers... ex-Casaya has 6 ex-La Mina has 2. Now, suppose Terry loses the next IC. the ex-Casaya members now *know* that they can't vote off Terry at TC, but that doesn't mean that they can't determine who gets sent packing and force Terry to dump his immunity idol. The ex-Casayas could split their vote 4 for Terry and 2 for Sally. Terry would be forced to use his immunity idol and then Sally would get voted off in the tie-breaker vote. Or, the ex-Casaya women could approach Sally and offer her a spot in the final 4 in exchange for her to vote for a guy of their choice. If Terry didn't reveal that he had the idol, then the ex-Casaya members wouldn't be able to plan on manipulating the vote.

They seem to be doing things differently this time with putting everyone into teams, and even though it's individual time, all the reward challenges have been shared. So far, none of the usual, "one winner who can bring one person thereby ticking off everyone else" thing. I thought the reward challenge was really cool, very different from anything else I've seen. For the immunity challenge, though, they did a similar thing (last year?) that if you felt secure for tribal council, you could eat instead. Boy did Aras look ticked off. /cs

But she seems to have perfected the flying under the radar technique, while still being involved in the game playing. Course it helps to stay under the radar when you have Shane and Courtney ready to implode at any second. Aras is the brains of their operation, but I don't know if I can see the rest of them letting him get that far. Unfortunately, I do think Shane is going to make it. Both he and Cirie have had full season stories.

Originally Posted By Labuda CiHeck, for me it's all of the ex-Casaya folks who I want to see lose. I'm totally rooting for Terry. if I HAD to choose one of the others to win, though, it'd be Bruce.

Originally Posted By nevadarebel Labuda, I totally agree with you. Because of everything so far, Terry and Bruce are my favorites. I don't know that Terry can hold on for another 2 weeks winning but I am rooting completely for him! I haven't liked Shane from the beginning and when he wanted to quit, they should have let him walk away.

It seemed very physical, without making people run up down a beach, or swimming in the water, which tends to make up a lot of the rewards/immunities.

Yeah, I'm not sure that is going to happen. He is totally dominating this game. And if he keeps winning, and makes it to final two, he's one of the only people not ticking others off and would have a great chance at winning the mill.
Originally Posted By t1lersm0m ^^can you say why, aside from your previous comment? <<i don't like terry. we don't need another silverback alpha male to win (see tom from palau).>> Is there a particular reason you dislike Terry? I feel he is a stand up kind of guy.
