Ok who is going to watch Survivor with me?

I was squealing when he dived across the line to make it to the finals. That was a must-win and he did it!

This season is so much better now that they have refocused on the interaction between the players. 

Whoo hooo liked that outcome!

I hope Lisa wakes up soon.  She is not being 'nice' or 'loyal', she is being played. 

I do think she is naive.  And she just can't keep a secret.  It is like she just has to tell someone every thought that she has.

There is no right or wrong in this game.  That is why I love it.  Nothing as interesting as human nature.

Yes. Sometimes he gives too much info or asks the questions to unearth info.

I didn't like Jeff giving Abi excuses at TC. No, it isn't cultural differences, Jeff. All Brazilians aren't nasty, lazy, bullying, nor do they verbally attack everyone around them at any opportunity. It's just Abi. When Denise tried nicely to tell her what the problem was, she wouldn't let her finish a sentence and then verbally attacked HER. Cannot wait until this bitch gets booted.

I think Penner was wrong to rebuff an offer of an alliance. That may come back to bite him in the ass.

Carter may be brain-dead, but he can win ICs. They need to toss him as soon as humanly possible.

I'm thinking Pete should have regretted causing trouble in his alliance (Abi and RC). Maybe things would have held together a little longer and he could have made inroads with others and lasted longer if he had just resisted the urge to throw the cat among the pigeons, metaphorically.

And 2 of those 5 people shouldn't be there, IMO (that would be Abi and Skupin - her for being a worthless, horrible human being, and him for doing basically nothing except have an alliance with Lisa. And not having bled to death by now. )

Torn apart? Definitely different strokes here. I thought Denise was tactfully trying to tell Abi WHY she was on the outs after Abi said she wanted to know. She then cut off Denise FOUR times, wouldn't let her finish a sentence and became even more verbally abusive. Sorry, but I have ZERO sympathy for that bitch Abi. She treated people horribly when she and her group were controlling the tribe, but when they fell from power, she started this "Oh, poor me" shtick. The ONLY reason she's still around is as a goat for final tribal; everyone wants to be sitting next to her as she will get few, if any, votes.

I have to agree that Lisa is NOT some sweet thing. Her complaints about how this game is just too hard for sweet little ole me doesn't jibe with her actions (rifling through Malcolm's things, swearing to an alliance with him that she promptly broke, trying to throw him under the bus). It failed that time, but per the previews, she's going to try again, using Abi as a vote. If she's successful, Denise had better win the next IC or she's toast, too.   

I'm of the opinion that she's playing two games here: one for a million bucks and one to jump-start a new career post-Survivor. And that second game is why we're getting all these talking heads from her about how she's so torn and conflicted, because she's just that honest and nice, dang it. With her childhood earnings gone and a fresh divorce under her belt, she's going to need to scrounge up a new gig. I predict a "heart-warming" book titled something along the lines of "Surviving Survivor", followed by more speaking gigs to Christian groups, followed by a stab at acting again. But that's just my cynical opinion.

Edited because tenses should agree and parentheses should be closed.

Lisa will appear on Dancing with the Stars like every other "B" list actor.  Then she will start on the lecture circuit.  I agree that a book will definitely appear as well.

Remember that Survivor makes villains by careful editing.  Abi is no saint but she is no worse than the other villains of the past.  If it is Skupin and Abi, Skupin will win because he hasn't been in anyone's face.  I think it's possible (not probable) that Abi might against Lisa if for no other reason than Abi made it to the end without an alliance. But, as I said, I wouldn't last a day in this game. 

Two tribes against each other or men against women?  Denise has a real chance but will she last?   

pip,

You make a valid point about being tall, good looking and male as a big, big advantage in our culture and for that matter most cultures. It's always good to see a woman win Survivor.

Now that would be a surprise to me! 

There is only one reason I would want him beside me.  And it wouldn't be to win a millions dollars on Survivor!

Did you guys watch ponderosa for Abi?
