I liked this episode. I really didn’t know who was going to be voted off. Not sure I agree with the decision, as I think Erik is more of a threat than Frosti. And they have to get rid of Courtney soon-- she’s too much of a loose cannon. I loved it when Frosti mentioned the Lunch Lady’s mullet.
Next week should be even more fun!
They did it the SAME WAY every time! It was so obviously stupid to use that little drum at all, I can’t believe they kept trying & trying it the same way. The other team figured it out so quickly…they mostly used the 2 middle-sized drums & they kept the ball low.
ETA: Why they aren’t all banding together to oust James is beyond me. If I knew someone had 2 immunity idols, I’d get rid of them as soon as possible.
So what is the business that remains to be done at tribal council? (As announced by Jeff at the end of the show.)
Who knows–but I was majorly irked by that bit, too. Especially since I think last week’s previews hinted that Jeff was going to make the announcement.
(My best guess is that another player will be voted off, with no time for discussion.)
The question is: how? And who leads it? See, Todd and Amanda don’t dare turn on James now, because they desperately need him in their alliance. Without him, they are vulnerable to the sudden majority of outsiders. They sealed their fate when they voted out the cluelessly leadable JR.
Courtney has no mind for that kindof strategy. She is a follower. Frosti and Erik were just trying to stay in the good graces of the majority. PG has the balls to do it, but no ability to convince anyone. And Denise has no idea where she stands, and is close to James to boot.
The real clincher is that it would be nearly impossible to organize a coup and keep it quiet. If you fail, James will use his idol and vote out the person that first suggests it, which is a real disincentive to be that person. That’s why Todd should have gone along with JR’s “idea” to get rid of James, because it had literally no downside for him. If it works, James and the idols are gone, and James won’t hold it against Todd when it comes to time to vote for a million. And if it fails, James uses the idol on JR, you get rid of JR, and you burn one idol.
That’s why James is safe: The time to oust him was two weeks ago, and they failed to do it. Now he’s a lock.
And we saw James, Todd and Erik in next week’s previews, meaning they are safe from any surprise votes.
That’s all exactly right. When they didn’t do it last week, they totally screwed themselves. It was a great plan, and obviously didn’t take a genius to think of it, since both Todd & J-R came up with it separately. Whatever Todd’s ego problem was that made him change his mind is probably going to be his downfall.
Not only did we see them, but we saw them cleaned up and hair-trimmed, which means they are on the winning side of some pampering reward challenge.
Amanda was shown in the preview, as well as what I believe to be Courtney’s legs.
Are you sure there weren’t some fishbones someone had left there?
Obviously, some people pay much more attention to the details of the previews than I do.
I leave it to the reader to decide whether that is proof of their obsession, or my indifference. (The indifference is a valid theory).
Frosti was always just a Courtney’s boy toy. He pretty much knew it too, as he admitted that Courtney was “out of [his] league.”
Frosti, you can do better than Skeletor. Much better.
The last time I saw legs like that there was a note tied to them!
Yeah, me too. I thought that tribal council would never end, it was quite tedious.
If there is a second vote, that would be the time to write “James” on the ballot. At least make him use one of the HII’s.
This heterosexual chick thinks that Erik is completely hot. He’s also a musician which gives him bonus points.
I was completely surprised at the number of people who chose hamburgers over the chance for immunity. Not that any of them would have had a prayer in a memory game against PeighGee. Rat Rabbit Donkey Ram…holy crap.
I’m surprised so many people decided to eat the food instead of playing for immunity, not because they needed it, but to stop PG from getting it!
All I can say is, Frosti needs glasses and a good mirror. I can’t believe he thinks Courtney is out of his freakin’ league! The boy is afuckingdorable. Courtney looks like Jack Skellington’s stunt double.
They didn’t know PG was going for immunity. They made their choices, then revealed simultaneously.
They couldn’t NOT know PG was going for immunity. She knew she was Target #1, and they knew she knew she was Target #1. She’s not stupid enough to NOT play for immunity.
At the very least Todd dropped the ball on this one, and probably James. The point shouldn’t have been, “Do I need immunity?” The point should have been, “How do we keep PG from getting immunity?”
James is by no stretch a “lock”. They are down to seven, possibly six after a surprise twist. Presumably, he cannot use them at final four, so there are only 3 more tribal councils that they can even be used. Strategically, he should give one out to someone in return for future consideration… then he still holds one in reserve. But that means he must win 2 or 3 immunity necklaces to be a lock for the final 3. And he must win immunity at final 4 time, or he is in danger of being ousted.
