I disagree. It was painful watching him try to spoonfeed logic and common sense to flicka and watching it all go right over her head.

I agree, **Evil One**. You can be the smart swing vote or the stupid swing vote. The fact that she acted like trying to figure it all out was giving her a brain cramp made me yell, “You guys need to vote _her_ off!”

Totally agree. Were I Jonathan or any of the group of he, Yul, Becky and Candace, I would strongly suggest voting out Flicka and/or Cao Boi next and keeping Ozzy around as your fifth.

At least Cao Boi seemed to understand what being on the outside of an alliance and being a swing vote meant. Apparently Flicka just thought she’d coast through to the end without actually participating in the social part of the game, which is so far beyond clueless that it’s positively imbecilic. And her look of true and utter stupidity when Jonathan was trying to give her a tutorial in Survivor 101 was appalling – Papa T. and I were initially trying to figure out if she really _could_ be that dumb or was just playing dumb, but by the end of it we agreed if there were two brain cells in that badly dreaded head, only one of them is apparently capable of firing at any one time. Even our golden retriever can’t look that dumb, and it’s not without a lot of trying!

At Tribal Council, Cecilia surprised everyone by confessing she was in love with Candice.

That would have been awesome.
