HUH?
Hey, Hogenboom, is than an immunity idol in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?
Sorry, couldn’t resist.
Nothing to see here. These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.
I just knew I’d heard that line somewhere before!! :smack: :smack: :smack:

This week’s cute Probstism, when they were in the food reward area and the dogs walked though:
“Puppitos!”
Jeff: “Okay, we’ve got the grill going and we’re ready to start an authentic Mayan feast. Judd, you’re the winner so you get the big dog. Cindy, you’re next, so you get to pick one of the puppies…”
Heh! I turned to supervenusfreak when those dogs walked in and said, “That’s Jamie’s meal…”
Middleman, you and your Rich Rankings crack me up. I think THE BOBBY JON LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD may be your best quip yet.
Keep up the good work.
Heh. I just thought he said the big dog’s name was Pepito.
It’s pretty amazing that Jamie, who was almost certain to get tossed, won immunity and then Gary, who was the next in line, got the idol. Just amazing timing on that.
People have to start thinking about the end-of-game strategy and get rid of the strong before too much more time goes onn and the numbers are too small to coordinate a palace revolt!
From the previews:
Lydia looks like she’s going to waffle on saying she is with one of the groups. Traditionally, this is the kiss of death. When both sides realize you might vote against them, that you aren’t swearing loyalty to the pact, you get tossed. It’s like clockwork. I swear, it’s like people have never seen the show before- you have to tell whoever you are talking to that you are with them all the way to the end!
I’ll buy that and ask for seconds.
I think Steph’s overly dramatic “It’d be amazing if he found it” was misdirection; he already had it, which she knew because he already told her, and she was playing it up to make sure the group was still planning on voting for Gary, which would translate into a Bobby Jon ouster once Gary showed immunity at TC.
Too far fetched?
If they were in such a rock solid alliance, why would she make him use his one and done Zippy at this TC? Why not steer Jamie and Judd to Bobby Jon and let Gary keep his immunity for later?
I also thought it sounded a bit fake when she was with the group, they had all agreed to vote out Gary, it seemed like a sure thing and she pops up with, “what if something goes wrong with our plan? Something always goes wrong.”
She’s got good reality show fame-whore instincts, and knows if you want to maximize your camera time, you have to give the producers lots of good lines they can use to build each week’s “story.”
Why is Lydia still on the show? Isn’t it obvious to everyone she’s the hard worker around camp, useless at all challenges, nice to everybody, flying under the radar all the way to the final two, at which point everybody hates everybody except Lydia, and then she’ll whip out some stories about how her kids need braces & college money?
There are kind of two ways to look at this. One is, Lydia is pretty much useless, and they’re keeping her around as an easy pick later, after all the “real” competition is gone. Another is, she’s making her vote useful, and they’re keeping her around until they no longer need her vote.
In either case, I would like to draw the Jury’s attention to Exhibit A: Sandra Diaz-Twine. Apparently nobody in the current cast watched “Survivor: Pearl Islands” after Rupert got voted out.
It’s interesting…supervenusfreak and I made that comparison after the show. Lydia is like Sandra without the mouth.
If Lydia does end up in the Final Two (or wins), I think the lesson a smart future Survivor will take from this is: vote out the stealth Latina first!
What about Cindy? She’s pretty much in Stealth mode, too. I always forget she’s even there till they show her - I think she gets in a line or two at most each episode.
I think we saw more of Cindy when Margaret was still around. Now Cindy is sort Frick, without her Frack. Kind of.
