I'm ready!

And isn't the finale on Sunday?

Come on Erik, Man UP!

Gayle

I'm ready, let the games begin!!

I tell you I am just thoroughly disgusted with the way things are going right now. I just loved Cirie the season she was on and now I can't stand her. Parvati-don't like her now and never did. I want Erik and Amanda to go to the end but I don't know if they are bright enough to figure out how to get there. I shouldn't say that, because I know it is easy for me to say, being as how I can see everything going on, but still come on, I think Amanda is dumb enough to be sucked in by Parvati and Cirie telling her they will take her to the end-yeah right. Trust no one.

i can't see how anyone could like cirie! all she does this year and last time is cause trouble...i'd run if i saw she was my nurse...not saying anything to james about his hand? yes it's a game but still don't you think you'd have some professional concern?

For Survivor (unlike Big Brother where I can read about the live feeds), I'm always mindful that CBS edits reality to fool us and/or tease us into "not missing the next one"!

I'm a complete sucker for this show. DH and I arrange our Thursday evenings around it! I would love to see Erik in the final, but for all any of us know, Erik could be a wolf in sheep's clothing after the editing. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enjoy!

Oops, should have posted this here. Oh well.

CBS might be editing, but they certainly aren't putting words into peoples' mouths, so every time I see Natalie calling Jason a "b!tch" or wanting to "b!tch slap" Erik, I keep thinking about pots and kettles. lol The woman is just not a nice person, IMO.

We'll be watching, that's for sure. I'd love to see Natalie join Ozzy and Eliza and Jason and Alexis and James at the Ponderosa. I rarely get my wish, though.

I just don't understand how everyone can be so blind to Cirie! She did this when she was on before, did these 'fans' not see that? Holy cow....that woman is awful.

I don't mind Cirie. She is just playing the game.

I think everyone who is there has made at least one clever move except Natalie. Natalie just needs to go home.

I don't mind Cerie, either. I was only ticked at all of them when they promised Jason(?) that they wouldn't vote for him if he gave up,so they could all have pizza, and then they back-stabbed him. Ozzy led the parade in that, though. And look what a hateful, sore loser Ozzy has been since HE was blind-sided. He has a very high sense of entitlement, I think.

IMO Natalie is just plain mean and hateful. Erik was just Ozzy's starstruck tag-along, Pavarti is totally distasteful to me. And Amanda is just .... I don't know... blah, I guess.

Just saw the show and OMG! I'm laughing.

Do you believe that??????

Just Shakeing my head!

The man was made a fool of!
Sucker!!!

Unbelievable!!!!

James put it correctly, "I have finally, officially lost the title of the dumbest survivor ever. EVER!"

Seriously, what is the matter with that guy's brain cells??? Does he have any?!

Does anyone know how I can get in touch with Erik? I want to make him a good deal on some oceanfront property in Arizona...or maybe the Brooklyn Bridge.

James was hilarious--and right. This takes the cake as the dumbest move ever.

OMG!!! I could not believe it. How dumb can he be? You never, ever give away your immunity. Believe it or not, I kind of felt a little sorry for him when he left. I really like Amanda and hope she wins it all. I never cared for Cirie and don't understand how anyone could like her.

This season has had the BEST tribal councils! LOL!

DH said, "If those girls pull this off, they deserve to be in the the final four!" I agreed, adding that if Erik is dumb enough to fall for it, he does NOT deserve to be there!

Still LMBO...........

And he's so cute - even during his parting shot, saying how cool it was to be there with everyone.

I felt sorry for Erik, those girls just lie and lie and then get all indignant when he lied, too. For them to put him on the spot like that in front of the jury, acting like they are all pure and innocent, he obviously knew that he couldn't get any jury votes if he kept on and this was his way of bowing out. I'm sorry he trusted them even a little bit.

He comes out looking like the nice guy that he is, though, not bitter or mean or selfish. Just a bit naive and too trusting. Not horrible traits in a man, I think.

I can't believe Parvati didn't bother to look for the idol. What a twit. I couldn't have NOT looked for it.

Here's the local papers take on it.
Hey, he's just a kid everyone!

Yes, Kathy, you are right. Erik is just a kid and not aware of the how the female mind works. I don't think a more worldly guy would have fallen for that. Everyone on the jury saw right through that. I kinda felt sorry for him but it really was funny at the same time.

James cracks me up. I wish he hadn't gotten hurt and was still in the game. I really wanted him to win.

I think Cirie is playing a great game this time.

Linda

Erik? What the heck was he thinking? How many times has someone been voted off that has the Idol?

I bet on the next Survivor no one omits playing the Idol! I can't wait to see Council. That is going to be interesting.

Gayle

I was laughing and feeling sorry for poor Erik at the same time. Some girl needs to scoop him up. He is a sweetheart and I think completely trainable. And bonus, he has a job. LOL! Erik's inability to make a workable scheme makes me think that he is an all around decent guy. He has a great life ahead of him.

Cirie deserves to win for coming up with that boneheaded plan.

I can't believe he did that! I'm with you Gayle. It's about to get seriously ugly because now the girls will have to to start voting each other out. I agree with you too, Wanda. That Ozzy is a very sore loser. His ego is getting the better of him.

The kid is nuts! LOL And, really, I don't understand why he would think the people on the jury didn't like him.? I can't believe he did it either! omg... and James' comment WAS hilarious! ahahahahaa
Ozzy is a stinker

OK, I under estimated Cirie. They are playing the game, and outwitting. And to think that a few weeks ago, I was feeling sorry for Amanda when the merge began!

Erik is close to the top of my list for next All Stars!! LOL!!!!!

I could watch an hour of Tribal Councils alone with this one.

Natalie is still my least favorite. She reminds me of every kid who used to beat up others on the playground.

Well that was one of the best survivor episodes I've seen yet! I'm still laughing about it this morning. Erik is a doll and I agree with adellabedella, some girl should "scoop" him up right away as he is quite trainable!

Scoop - get it!!! Hahaha - I crack myself up!

I can only recall one Survivor winner who actually managed to play the entire game without lying or backstabbing anyone. That was Ethan Zahn, in one of the earlier survivors.

Unfortunately, since then, it seems they've become savy about someone slipping under the radar, and the completely honest contestants are usually voted out early, so it's almost impossible to play the game without lying to anyone. Poor Eric misplaced his trust when he forgot one of the golden rules, "Outwit."

All I can say about dumbo Erik is once bitten should make you a heck of a lot smarter in a game like this. Do feel sorry for him on the one hand, but really how dumb would you have to be to give away your immunity in a season that's so cutthroat?
My vote still goes to Amanda.
