What a great episode last night. This season is filled with all kinds of drama. I couldn't believe they made such a huge deal about Eric's mishap at the challenge. He was pretty awesome though. I thought it was smart for Airai to send Ozzy away.

Was anybody else as embarassed for Ami during tribal council when she broke down and started pleading with Ozzy? I think she would have been okay if she hadn't blatantly lied to him the day before.

Too bad there was only one bucket-o-beer on ice that came with the pizza. I miss those episodes where Survivors imbibe too much and start walking all funny (Tom) and throwing up in their tents (Jud). :giggle:

Previews for next week have me intrigued.

I think James and Ozzy are screwed come next week. The fans will join together to get one of them out. Ozzy brought Eric(?) closer by not voting him out and could use him down the road. If the faves can stick together and knock out at least two fans right off the bat they will have a chance at winning. I was glad Ami left but I think next week will determine the next 3-4 weeks. Should be interesting to see who will be the one to change it up.

Both teams are fractured as far as allegiance to the other. If Parvati can convince Amanda that the big boys have to go in order for them to have a chance, that will be the biggest impact on the game. They need to get the boys while they are down and feeling cocky. Jeff did say there were a LOT of blindsides this season. ;)

Does any one care Eliza went home? SHe tried using Ozzy's fake immunity idol.

I do care because it's kind of a sign that the fans are "sheep". However, there is part of me that is holding out on the notion that it's all part of a master plan. Now there are more fans than faves...

I loved that Probst didn't "out" Eric on the new tribe name not being Micronesian. I cannot wait to see that discussion at the finale'. :laugh

I was really hoping that Eliza would throw back in Parvati's face that she had no choice but to go after her since Parvati's hell-bent on flirting her way to the finals and hooking up with James made them both threats because they don't need another Rob/Amba finale', but NO she had to go and get all humble. WHATEV!! :rolleyes:

I wouldn't call her exit humble. After she was done she outed Ozzy for having the idle, that seemed kind of low. But the best line of Survivor history was when Jeff threw the idle in the fire and Ozzy laughed and said "Oh come on Jeff! That took me an hour to make." I laughed for a good ten minutes. Next week Ozzy might be blindsided which would suck. If that happens James better do everything in his power to win immunity the following week.

She did out Ozzy at TC, but I meant reminding those remaining what happened the last time previous players returned to the game. Stephanie made it all the way to 2nd place in Guatamala. I would make it my mission as a fan to start taking out the strongest faves one-by-one and if that means back-dooring Ozzy via James, so be it! I really want a SMART person to win this very athletic tribe. Jason's already proven his cockiness will trip him up in the end so keeping him around a little longer shouldn't matter too much.

You know what might happen ... Erik will squeak thru and win this.

Nah, I see shades of Ian in him. :laugh Then again he's teh only one without any real alliance. He has an agreement with Ozzy, but once Ozzy is gone he doesn't owe anybody anything.

I heard there is going to be another injury that may force someone off the show. In an interview the competition coordinator said the comps aren't any harder this year but there is more determination to win and the contestants are making dumb mistakes they didn't care to make in the past.

Jeff says he also doesn't think the challenges are harder. It will be interesting but there was a hint that Jason may be one of the ones to get hurt. His name wasn't revealed but the build up couldn't be anyone but him. Hope I am wrong. DOn't care for him much, but he does give Ozzy a run for his money. I really think the great OZ was dumbfounded when Jason beat him

I found this elsewhere on the net and for those who don't like suprises take a read. But take it for what it is worth. I will admit however other evictions on this site appear to have happened as predicted. It's almost like someone has an inside tract.

[spoiler]According to an insider JAMES will be hurt and leave the show but will come back to serve on the jury. It isn't clear exactly when this will happen only that it does. They also say Ozzy will be gone fairly quick. Those who last till the end are Parvati, Amanda and Natalie [/spoiler]
