Tarzan was actually coherent during part of this episode and seemed to understand how to make everyone else win.

The Game is Afoot.

Is that anything like “The Door is Ajar?”
Did we saw more ‘strategizing’ [sic] tonight than we have ever seen before? I couldn’t keep track on who they were talking about half the time.
It looks like Kim has got this game in the bag. Or at least she should. You never know with a bunch of Bitter Bettys on the jury.
Tarzan is wearing Kat’s Panties? Creepy. and then Kat starts crying about it. I can’t believe he can fit into her tank top.
Chelsea, like Danni who won Guatemala, looks better when she’s all dirty than she does cleaned up.
Just cut Kim the check right now.
P.S. If you watch the Ponderosa videos, you’s have seen Kat gleefully saying that she was the only one who knew how to make fire and they’d all starve and die of exposure now that she was gone. The very first scene tonight started with Tarzan’s face leaning over a fire he had just started.
I can’t remember another season where one player is so good that the other players are commenting in confessionals on how amazing that player is. That move on Alicia to vote out Alicia’s best goat was genius Survivor play. If Kim doesn’t win the final immunity challenge, I can’t wait to see how she’ll convince the others to take her to the end.
Guys and gay women: Would you rather replace Sabrina in the reward tonight and sleep between Kim and Chelsea, or replace Colby and share a bed with Amanda and Danielle DiLorenzo during Heroes vs. Villians?
Can I have Amanda and Parvati instead? Or Sugar and Amanda?
About time they pulled the trigger on Tarzan. Now it gets bloody.
Just give her the damn check already. I mean, ladies- what the holy fuck are you thinking? Are you there to win, or to be 2nd place to Kim?
And, Jeff and company- the editing this epi made it too clear that Tarzan was going home.
That’s basically a choice between Chelsea and Amanda. I’ll take Amanda.
do you think Tarzan will give Kat back her panties?
I never really liked Amanda looks-wise (she usually looked too “woe is me”) but she looks pretty hot in that picture. I’ll still take Kim/Chelsea though out of that option. And boy, did those two seem to be laying the Les Yay on thick on that reward cruise.
For the first half of the episode, I thought Tarzan had it figured out, he was going to make all the girls think he was just their advice-giving Dear Old Dad, and coast into the final 3 with a chance of winning. Then Alicia and Kim talked with each other and it all fell apart. Girls just talk too damn much.
Christina has to be playing the worst game of Survivor of anyone who’s made the final five. Why is she voting with Alicia? Does she not remember when Alicia told her to jump in the fire? Jeez.
Kim’s guaranteed the final 4 since she has an idol. It’ll be interesting to see if sticks with Chelsea/Sabrina or not. Best case scenario I think is she wins immunity and gives the idol, in front of the jury, to Chelsea or Sabrina.
I dunno why Alicia thinks she’s the power player. Hopefully it’s just self-delusion. I really hate that woman and hope she gets fired from her job like NaOnka.
Tarzan made some statement tonight around the time of the FTC.
I’m sorry, but I wasn’t able to record the episode so I can’t check exactly what he said or exactly when it was said. But I seem to remember it was something like …
people wouldn’t vote for him to win because he was a millionaire.
He definitely used the word “millionaire” and I’d really appreciate if anyone can tell me what he said and what he meant.
My impression was that he was saying that he was already a millionaire and that people would not be likely to vote for him to win because of that.
Can anyone confirm that?
He is a plastic surgeon…
I caught that too. It was at Tribal Council, when Jeff pointed out that the moment where he helped the women take out the guys had come and gone. Here’s what Tarzan said:
Jeff didn’t follow up at all. First I can recall anybody mentioning his financial situation, but as Eyebrows 0f Doom noted, he is a plastic surgeon, which can of course be a lucrative occupation.
As far as the guys voting for Tarzan if he’d made the final just because he’s a guy, well, it seems the guys are still bitter about his complicity in their ousting. (Michael at least flipped him the bird after his torch was extinguished.) So it may have been a better move to bring him along to final.
Kim’s been in control for a long time now, but it looked to me like the strain was getting to her just a bit. I was wondering if she really would have voted out Chelsea if she wasn’t successful in convincing the others to vote off Tarzan. This is really the stage where you absolutely can’t let friendships stand in your way, and the delicate handling of the sudden yet inevitable betrayal can make a million-dollar difference.
Alicia: Queen of the social game!
…BWAHAHAHAHA!
As Tangent said, that’s really a choice between HotAmanda and Chelsea. I’ll take Chelsea.
Thank you both for replying to my post asking about what Tarzan said.
I guess he did say that he was a millionaire.
Not a very clever thing to say if you want to win the million dollar prize.
I’m guessing maybe the producers like having one whacko among the contestants in each season. They had Phillip in a recent season and Tarzan seems to me to be a complete lunatic.
He did seem to make sense some of the time. But if he is really a millionaire, why would he come on this show? To win? If he really wanted to win, why would he tell the other contestants that he was a millionaire? The only thing that comes to my mind is that he is a whacko. He was just out to have a fun adventure that he could watch over and over in his old(er) age and laugh about it.
Someone told me this season of the show had the lowest ratings of all. If that is true and if the producers keep manipulating various aspects of the show, then I really do hope it is cancelled real soon because it’s just become real stupid lately.
Maybe it was just good/bad editing, but no one even thought of voting Kim out? How unbelievably stupid!
But it’s funny to see Alicia and Christina as BFFs now.
I’d happily snuggle up between Kim and Chelsea. Kim is not “hot” like Chelsea is, but she’s pretty damn attractive.
I think everyone just assumes she has the HII by now. I remember a few seasons ago, everyone was wondering why no one voted one really stong player. It was revealed after the season ended that everyone knew he/she had the idol, they just didn’t show it on the show.
Well, you have to give Kim credit. Alicia, Christina and Tarzan had hit upon a path to the final three (eliminate Chelsea, then Kim). They correctly surmised that they would lose to Kim in a final vote. But then Kim returned from the reward and snowed Alicia into thinking Tarzan was playing a double game. It was a brilliant deception on Kim’s part.
It would have been a more entertaining season if one of the other players had made a timely move against Kim, but it still just seems like everyone is playing for second place.
::shrug:: That’s why the blindside was invented. Just convince the HII-holding victim that you are voting for someone else.
