me too!

and me! Plus, something that they showed in the scenes for next week made me laugh!

That was great! I'll have the recap tomorrow morning, plus Ponderosa, which should be really interesting!

Here's the recap already!
recap

Woo-hoo that was fun! I would have been just as happy to see Rodney go. Did you see him trying to throw the grapple hook? What an idiot. He doesn't even try on the competition. But feels so entitled. I love that Jeff actually said that. What is sad is that he will probably make it to the end because he would be great to sit next to at the finale. And he is so stupid he will think it's because he was running the game. He has never got up off his lazy butt to go look for food or idols he expects it to be brought to him. I am pretty sure those were not the only 2 melons on the island! I can promise you I would be steady looking for food, there's an ocean full and plenty more within reach. They have not discussed food this season, if they have plenty, is it rice or beans etc. Seems like a much easier food situation this time.

Something I've always liked about Carolyn is that she doesn't blab. I don't think I could keep my own counsel as well under those circumstances. It was priceless when she produced her idol and negated all of Dan's stratagems. :)

We were hollering during the immunity challenge, so glad it was won by the right person! Yay for Carolyn, several smart moves on her part. Next episode ought to be excellent!

Good show! I definitely hope that Mike wins--he deserves it. I was so glad that Carolyn played the immunity idol. I wish they would send Rodney home--he is getting on my last nerve.

If Mike goes to the finale he wins. If Carolyn goes and Mike doesn't, she wins, my opnion. I think they are underestimating Will and Sierra. Will messed up with Shirin, but he has a lot of buddies on the jury. He is likeable. Sierra hasn't really pissed anyone off. She's just a hanger-on, but hanger-on's have won before. Especially if jurors are holding a grudge against Mike or Carolyn.

Rodney looked like a doof trying to throw that hook. Surely he isn't that uncoordinated? If nothing else, he could have looked at the other people to see how they were throwing. I think he has given up. I actually had a twinge of pity for him when Carolyn made her big talk and then decided to keep the reward. He looked like he was going to cry for a second. She should have just kept her mouth shut, that was kinda cruel.

I am so glad that loudmouth jerk Dan is gone. I loved the look on his face when Carolyn produced her immunity idol! priceless. I don't think anyone has a chance is heck of winning except Carolyn or Mike. I think the only person who would vote on emotion would be Rodney, the rest are surely mature enough to see who the hangers on are, and who really did the work and played the game. Of course, Rodney will probably end up in the final three since no one would vote for him. That's who I'd take.

Imagine if they manage to vote both Mike and Carolyn out in the next 2 votes, leaving a final 3 of Will, Rodney and Sierra, though? Ugh. NONE of them should win. 3 losers.

I absolutely loved hearing in the preview "why didn't you tell us you had a HII?" ROFLMAO, that's the stupidest question any player ever posed. Who asks that, anybody know?

flamey....next Wednesday is the season finale.

I watched the Ponderosa with Dan. Tyler knew Carolyn had a hidden immunity idol weeks ago. Mama c told everyone anything Tyler said...interesting...

Here's the YouTube version of Ponderosa. If you have an ad blocker, you have trouble watching CBS.

And check the comments at the end of the EW recap for some funny comments about Dan. Talk about delusional!

And Raven, Dan lost 42 pounds. He was definitely not getting a lot of food!

wow that is a lot of loss and he did look much slimmer as he walked out of the tribal council lol.

It was dumb dumb Rodney that asked Mama C why she did not tell them she had an immunity idol and she looks at him like he is insane and said you all voted me out lol why would I tell you that.
That guy really needs a care taker I don't think he knows to come out of the rain. What does he do for a living???

Mike needs to find another idol!!!
OMG if those other three were to be the final 3 I think Jeff would shoot himself!

One of the best tribal council's yet! Love the blindside!

If nothing else, Rodney is entertaining. If he is in the final 3, it won't be boring. Questions might be hard to answer, like it was for him last night lol.

Rooting for Mike or Carolyn!

I just watched several ponderosa clips and I have to say, Shirin is a freak and I think she has mental/emotion problems. She actually told Tyler there are things about yourself that you probably don't know, and I would happy to tell you. know some things about you. What? WHAT??? She is crazy, flipping whacked.

It looks like Mama C has been lying and double crossing all along also. They conveniently edited that out. Holy crap, I don't like any of them to win. I wouldn't count out Will or Sierra. Mama C and Mike have pissed off a lot of people.

Can't WAIT for next Wednesday!!

Isn't lying and double crossing part of the game? The only times it bothered me were the dead grandmother gambit (over the line!) and those two "Christian" girls who said they thought it was wrong but they needed to do it to get ahead, so did. Either it's part of the rules and expectations of the game and doesn't count as "real", but rather just gameplay, or it's wrong and you don't do it. If you declare it to be morally wrong within the game and do it anyway because you know you'll be forgiven if you pray on it, then it's just the same as if you lied and cheated in real life and think it's okay because He will forgive you. ::barf:: Lying and double crossing in Survivor, off camera, to me, just means that you're just playing smarter. :)

BTW, Russel said in some promotional thing this year that he used the production crew to find the hidden idols. He figured that they couldn't watch him doing nothing much forever, so if they put their cameras down he knew he was looking in the wrong place. I don't know if they figured that out and decided to keep filming more recently. ;)

Dan has been complaining about his edit. He says they were very selective to edit him as a villian and an all around jerk.

Everyone who is an all-around jerk has complained that the edits of their time were biased to show them in a bad light. Well, if that's the way you act the majority of the time, that's what they're going to show.

Obviously, if you don't act like a jerk they can't really edit you to look like that bad a jerk, but it's true that they choose clips based on the narrative they can make out of what they have, which doesn't necessarily reflect what went on as experienced by the contestants. OTOH, Dan seemed downright human when he went to comfort Shirin after Will was so vicious to her. Maybe he's only a 270° degree jerk, not a 360° all around jerk. :)
