Survivor 26: Caramoan FvF

[D-Money]

Sherri sure became a lame duck hella quickly once she realized she was in the minority. All that said glad Corinne was booted. It was cool to see Phillip vs. Corinne even if Corinne wasn't expecting it for one more boot. Phillip is destined for the final 3 once again but this time he's going to think he played the mastermind strategy only to realize he pissed everyone off again. Malcom has 2 idols to work with but is behind the 8 ball because everyone should be able to know he defected. His only hope is Erik or Dawn and I doubt they are going to join with him whether he tells them about the idol or not. Either Andrea or Cochran is going to win this one. I'd love to see either of them take it!

[Stephenie LaGrossa]

I didn't want Corinne voted out! Only because I wanted her to succeed in taking out Phillip. I don't know WHAT THE F Erik was thinking. Or maybe the editors just showed us a little of Malcolm's so-called "alpha-male alliance" because it looks like Malcolm's not too close with Erik at all, it's like he didn't even tell him about their alliance. A failure on Malcolm's part, and he deserves to go home at this point. But I just can't stand Phillip!

I just remembered, why didn't Corinne just say yes to the splitting of the votes plan?? Because if they make it look like that's the plan, then their 6-people voting block (or even 5 without Erik) would be enough to oust someone!

Malcolm might still have a chance next week if he gets to pull Erik and Mike, and use their Idol properly. But I only want them to do it if they're targeting Phillip lol.

[Abe Lincoln]

I HATE HATE HATE Phillip. Really just can not stand the guy. I was actually kind of bummed to see Corinne go!

I really think Cochran, Dawn , or Andrea has this in the bag. (Hope so, I love all 3 of them).

STOP NEGLECTING BRENDA, PLEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!!!

[D-Money]

Does Cochran have a first name? I think it's Survivor

SO she won Immunity and I was like "Ok, so we'll now hear her talk." and.... still no confessional!!!!! (Or did I miss it?!) I was like "WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS SHOW?!" But the editors don't hesitate showing her butt when she jumps into the water. Not that I'm complaining about THAT, but they're kind of like delegated her into an eye candy and nothing else. I wonder if she was really quiet with her interviews and not as strategic this time. I think I read something before that if you're not that entertaining you won't get any air time. It's kind of a drastic change from her previous season where she was basically a femme fatale.

Erik's on the same boat. He's not being shown as eye candy for the women, I don't think, but he's barely shown any confessionals. I don't care for him though, after flipping on Corinne.

Love that Andrea's in a power position right now. I knew when I watched her in her original season that she was smart, I'm glad she's got some control this time, although she almost got voted out. I loved her look of horror when she found out she was being targeted! That was real emotion right there.

I liked Sherri's confessional about controlling Phillip. It would be hilarious if that actually happened and Phillip doesn't realize it until the Reunion show lol. But I don't know, she has to battle against Cochran and Andrea, who are also strategists in the Fave alliance.

Too many alpha males in the Final 10! Is this the first time 4 out of Final 10 (5 out of 10 if you count Phillip) of the Survivors are physical threats? Wait, I am reminded of Season 11 Exile Island. They had a lot of physical threats as well in the merge. I foresee the next 4 boots will be these men. It's just logical for the others to get rid of them now.

Dawn is playing the game! Now if she just can control her emotions! She could win this game if she's not too emotional. We'll see next week if she can survive without quitting herself out of the game.

OMG!! OH MY GOSH!! What an episode..... I was watching it and screaming at the tv going... THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

Now here is my question: Does this stir everything up?

[sobakasierra]

I was so excited!!!! I kind of wanted Reynold to go, but Phillip is good with me!! I think one of the 3 guys will end up going anyways though. I dont think Sherri would go with Reynold and Eddie.

[DanC86]

I was soo happy to finally see phillips tourch snuffed, had a feeling once reynolds won immunity and they were talking about the HII that one of them was going to end up finding it.

[Derreck]

Most epic. Most Fantastic. Most electrifying TC in survivor history.

I am so thrilled after watching that episode. 1. Phillip is gone and he was annoying and irrelevant to anything anyways. 2. Malcolm fights on with his posse.

After every episode I think I am more in awe of Malcolm. I want to see Cochran win, but I just can't help but root for Malcolm. Is there anything he can't do? He finds idols like he is Russell Hantz, he is a challenge force like Ozzy, he strategizes like he is Todd Herzog, and he has social prowess like Sandra.

Ok ok, I know he may not be as effective as these people in those categories, but he is one of the most well-rounded players to ever play in my opinion. I mean usually people have their downfalls in their games but he can do a little bit of everything.

[D-Money]

As epic as that was when was the last time a second immunity idol has ever been available in camp to find post merge? It looked like deliberate intervention by the crew, but at the end of the day it was entertaining. I just don't buy it as genuine.

[Stephenie LaGrossa]

Yeah I don't remember there being a 2nd available Idol post merge. You can't count the one in HvV because their Idols were found pre-merge.

[D-Money]

Not Andrea... damn!

[Stephenie LaGrossa]

THOSE MUDDAF**KAS!!!! They made Brenda cry!!! They will pay!!!! Screw this show!!!!!


Tune in on Sunday for the Finale!

[D-Money]

I agree... that just wasn't right how they did Brenda. In most games or sports it's usually an unwritten rule that you play with your compeition exactly how they play with you. So if someone cheats you also play them dirty. But if they play open and honest you play against them with respect. Last week Andrea got blindsided while blindsiding. That's fair. Brenda is an honest player and should have been taken out with some respect. Play this season is getting way out of hand because these players are more interested in making big moves than playing with respect. Terrible.

[Jeff]

Completely different reaction from me when Brenda went out this time. Last time, she completely deserved it and I was thrilled the karma train had caught up to her.

This time... that was just cold and I actually felt sorry for Brenda this time.

[adecario]

I literally thought holy cow they are going to vote off Brenda... they are going to boot her. I think Dawn is an just an awful AWFUL human being. I understand it is a game, but when she lost her teeth and did not want to go back to camp, Brenda jumped in to get them. At the reward challenge the first person she picked to take it with her was Dawn. Dawn keeps saying I am playing this game for me... and at the end she is actually more Cocharan's puppet then Pinocchio. Also at this point you have to think about votes... EDDIE will win easily because he has the votes, Brenda you could have a fighting chance against. Though Cocharan knew that Brenda would not take him, so he had to cut her out to keep Dawn for himself.

I am just still really pissed!!

[Ace Snowman]

I understand why they made the move, I understand it's a game.

But... it was really horrible what they did to Brenda.

When she was crying at her last words, It almost made me cry too

[D-Money]

Everyone tweet questions to @jeffprobst on twitter with hashtag #survivorfinale for him to ask the survivors at the reunion show. If he sees a lot of people asking the same thing he'll bring up ethics in the game which I think we'd all love to hear discussed.

[Stephenie LaGrossa]

So a deserving winner won.

Anyone else feel that the Jurors didn't give any credit to Sherry? I think Reynold poisoned the Jury against her. It didn't help that she sucked at the Final TC. I did like how she shot down Erik. lol. Seriously, she played a good game pre-merge, and unlike the other fans, she wormed her way into Stealth R Us, so she should be credited for that as well. Not sure why she didn't force a tie on Dawn, when she said she wanted Eddie in the Final 3. That would have been entertaining.

[adecario]

Stephenie... I am sorry I agree with the jury she did not make a big move. She did worm her way there but she was carried there. I think if she had said at the jury... yes I was brought to the end, but I knew who I could trust to take me to the end and I worked it that way so that I could go to the end. A lot of people saw me as the bottom rung yet here I am at the end sitting in one of these final 3 seats. She needed to take ownership and run with it.... and instead she clamored up on her opening statements and her EGO got in the way.

I was more surprised that Dawn did not get ANY votes. I thought maybe she would get one or two votes... though I think people just saw how great Cocharan's game was. I mean the man played an absolutely stellar game!!
