No “Survivor” thread yet for this week? Any takers on who is out this week?* Or are my husband and I the only people on the planet who won’t be watching “Friends”?
- I think it’s Jenna, FWIW.
Five dollars on Big Tom to take the walk please.
I won’t be watching Friends. I’ve never seen a single episode of it.
This is why I have TiVO. So I can watch them both. (But odds are I’ll get fed up with Ross after 15 mins and then just watch Surviror and zip through the commercials.)
Ditto on Big Tom.
I hope you guys are right about Big Tom. I like him, but he’s working my nerves. (Ideally, I would like to see Rob out like last week’s garbage, but it looks like that ain’t gonna happen. Sigh.)
As always, I’m torn. I want the Ramber alliance to fall apart, but I get money if Rob wins.
So I’ll bet on Tom or Jenna this week.
I say either Tom or Rupert. Ramber will want to keep Jenna since she can’t win immunitiy, no one likes her, and she’ll do whatever Rob says.
I’ll say Rupert. Tom is ultimately going to side with Rob - which is a mistake in my opinion. Rupert’s athreat, Jenna is nearly universally hated (especially by some jury members). If Rupert gets immunity, then Tom’s out.
I’m so proud to have coined a term (Ramber) on these boards. I feel like it’s my first major accomplishment as a Doper.
I’ll be voting for Big Tom tonight as well… much as I wish they’d all get a clue and dump Ramber. Still think Rob is running the table at Ambers behest and the others must think it’s too late. After this episode, I think it will be.
I have a question regarding past survivor competitions. The paper today claimed that last week when the family members had to eat the Fear Facter disgusting bug buffet (or words to that effect) Survivor had sunk to a new low. Didn’t the family members someplace (I think Thailand) have to eat the disgusting stuff? If so, the person in the paper is wrong. I’m not claiming that asking family members to eat disgusting stuff is nice, but if they’ve been asked to before, than it is hardly a new low. (Unless one claims that this variety of food was more disgusting than any previous, which is darn hard, when one is faced with a variety of icky foods.)
Just subscribing.
And - I’d still really like to see Rob go.
However, I think its going to be either Tom or Rupert, depending on who wins immunitity.
My wife and I think that you have Ramber in one alliance and Rupert and Jenna in another. Both should be courting Tom. As almost always does, the vote tonight will turn on immunity. Here’s what I think will happen.
Immunity-Tom. Goodbye Rob.
Immunity-Rupert. Goodbye Rob.
Immunity Rob. Goodbye Rupert.
Immunity Amber Goodbye Rob.
Immunity Jenna Goodbye Rob.
This is based on Tom turning on Rob…which he should do unless he’s playing the “Clay strategy” and trying to look good by comparison.
I’m still crossing my fingers that Rob gets dumped, but realistically I’m going with Jenna.
I agree, and then again I don’t - I keep waffling on this one. First I thought Jenna, then Tom, then back to Jenna … but somehow, I don’t picture Rupert on the block. Can’t explain why. Just a feeling that Rupert will win immunity tonight. But you are absolutely right that everyone siding with Rob is making a mistake. Personally I think he’s a shitheel and I’d never vote to give him a million bucks, but these “competitive” types like Lex and Kathy might give him props for playing a good game. Morons.
I think it was Thailand. But it was done before. I don’t think it’s all that bad (relatively speaking, of course). If I had to, I’d eat bugs for my husband (although I can’t say with 100% accuracy that he’d do the same for me). Especially if not eating the bugs virtually guaranteed that he’d lose out on a million dollars. Anyway, it’s not like they asked the family members to poke each other with sticks, or swim in shark-infested water, or anything like that.
Evil One - You really think Amber would dump Rob? Or do you think everyone else would vote to dump him (i.e., a 3-2 vote)?
Rupert’s the real shitheel and at this point, Rob has shown he knows how to play, how to strategize, how to manipulate, and how to last this long doing it. He deserves it.
Please oh please oh please oh please oh please make it Rupert.
I think the show’s editing can dictate no other ending than Rob being dumped by Amber in the Final 3.
There have been too many instances with Rob saying, “I trust her implicitly, she’d never screw me over, blah blah blah blahbity blah.”
My predictions are thus:
Tonight, it’s Rupert or Tom. There’s no other outcome.
The final 4 will be Rob, Ambuh, Jenna and the one above that isn’t axed. The final 3 will be Rob, Ambuh and Jenna.
Ambuh wins Immunity. Everyone expects her to take Rob to the finals.
She picks Jenna.
Hilarity ensues. 
Not a Rupert fan, I see. I have to say, at this point, the only person I would be surprised to see voted out is Amber. Which annoys the shit out of me. I hate her.
Best. Ending. Ever.
PS - I’ve been wondering where you were - you usually start these threads.
It wouldn’t upset me a bit to see Big Tom go tonight. His mumbling hick-talk is about to drive me nuts. I can’t understand anything he says!!
I think if Rupert or Big Tom should happen to win immunity tonight though they’d be smart to take Jenna and vote off Rob. Somehow I don’t see that happening though.
I keep hearing a rumor that Rob and Amber make it to the final two. Anyone else heard this?? I hope it’s not true because Amber has just rode everybody’s coat tails to get where she’s at now and with as many enemies as Rob’s made along the way she’ll end up getting the money.
