She seemed like such a goner in those first couple of episodes. But she's still there hauling in the big fish. Might as well go all the way, girl!

From the previous episodes, it appears that some are still skeptical that he may have it (though, Aras said he wasn't going to waste time looking for it). At tribal council, it would almost be a guarantee of 4 to 1 against Terry, then with the imunity idol, it would be Terry who decides, with his one vote, who goes home.

Originally Posted By nevadarebel I am excited for this week because it looks like a good episode and I always love when the families come to visit. There are going to be some sparks that fly though over the decision of who gets to see the family...

If Terry wins the IC this week, he makes it to the final 3 (and he would be the favorite to win the final IC). If he wins the IC both this week, and next week, then he can give the hidden idol to another person, thus annointing a member of the final 3 along with himself. BTW, the final and reunion show is on the 14th.

Originally Posted By seanyoda I always interpreted "Up to the Final 4" as "Up *through* the Final 4." Checking the cbs.com episode summary for when Terry discovered the hidden idol: << Terry hastily pries open the box to reveal the coveted Immunity Idol, which will keep him safe from the vote through the Final Four! >>

Originally Posted By nevadarebel The look on his face was priceless when his name was read the first time. Then the second vote came out and he was so stunned.

As he was walking away, he kept turning around and looking back at them. It was great. Terry was pretty surprised too. He thought that Danielle was going home just like Shane.

Originally Posted By Chelledun I'm surprised Shane went home...but then I'm surprised he made it as long as he did! Is it just me or does it seem like tooo many strength-based challenges this season? I'm ready to see some puzzles just to mix it up! Rsey103, I'm rooting for Cirie too .
Originally Posted By seanyoda << How funny that he didn't say he was gonna go smoke >> I'd figure that the remaining tribe members would be craving ice cream a lot more than cigarettes.
Originally Posted By cstephens I expect Shane's gonna be pretty ticked off that Aras and Cerie turned on him, and Shane is probably feeling grateful to Terry for having chosen Boston and him to go on the overnight. I already figure that Austin, Sally and Bruce are voting for Terry if he makes final two. I'll add Shane to that now, so he's almost got a lock on it. And depending who he might be in final two with, Courtney could vote for him too. I do still think he has the best shot with Danielle next to him. Would be a nice end to the car curse! Speaking of which, do the rest of them not know that he won the car or are they just not including anything in the show about it? Weird. I didn't think the immunity challenge this time was strength based - you had to have good balance to stay on the platform and you had to have good aim to get the water in the little tube. And I SOOOOOO don't want Cirie to win. /cs
