lol Mayflowers, I think that's one of the reasons I like Christian. I hope he does make it to the end, he's my favorite currently. I didn't care for the vote either, not so much that I thought Lyrsa was playing a good game, I just don't care for Angelina's game. The sooner she gets to Ponderosa, the sooner she can stop whining about a(nyone else's) jacket.

Finally watched the 2nd half last night. I was glad to see the Godfather get blind sided... always like a good blindside! lol I think the remaining casts are a lot better physically matched now that the big guys are all out. Gabby bugs me - always crying over something stupid. Carl didn't talk to me wah wah wah. There's Christian comforting her and making sure she is ok. And the previews showing she wants to get him out? OMG! That made me so mad! What a traitor. I always like when a STRONG player wins - the ones who ride coattails and get to the end make me so mad. Gabby would be one of those. I hope her plan gets back to Christian and backfires on her!

I'm rooting for Devens to win. I think he's played a good game; he's been busy finding idols; he has never presumed he's so safe that he hasn't given his best effort in challenges; and he hasn't been really underhanded to anyone. On the other hand, there isn't anyone I really can't stand among those who are left, although I think my least favorite is Victoria, followed by Lauren, then Gavin, then Julie.

"So, after they come back from Idol Island, are they not allowed to tell the group they have met Rob and Sandra?" It's up to the player to decide what to reveal. This is discussed in one of the articles that last week's recap links to. It's interesting, to me, that both women who have been to Idol Island have told a story about there being urns. Those women are from different tribes, so they certainly haven't had a chance to discuss and agree that the second woman would say the same thing the first woman had said. I'm curious as to what will happen next week when whomever goes to Idol Island returns to their tribe. Since the next person to go will be from the same tribe as Elizabeth (the first one to go), they may get together and discuss. Then again, though, they probably won't have a chance. But, obviously, the more folks that go, the more everyone will know the truth about meeting with Sandra and Rob.
