Survivor: One World

[SuperT]

^ Unfortunately, I agree. I want her to win but I think she'll get taken out because she can beat pretty much everyone left in the game I think personally.

 

[PemLam]

Kat's attitude last night was pathetic; I don't know many 22 years olds that act as immature as she does, then again, I don't hang around many 20somethings. I can only hope her maturity level and complete lack of intelligence isn't the norm.

Hysterical (and sad) that she was "embarassed" to have been beaten by someone that's 26 years old...dear god, she must think Tarzan rode around on horses and carried six shooters to ward off the indians.

Best part of the night was her talking about the blindside and then getting blindsided.

Definitely not looking forward to seeing Tarzan putting Kat's filthy bikini bottoms on his head as a bandana next week.

At this point, Kim deserves the win, IMO. She has played a nearly flawless game. Her one mistake was not taking Kat and Christina on her reward (as it allowed Tarzan to try to sway them). Perfect games may not be fun to watch (case in point, Boston Rob in Redemption Island) but I still respect them and want to see the person playing it win. And unlike Boston Rob, Kim doesn't have the producers pulling the strings for her. She deserves to be the winner.

As for Kat, part of me felt bad for her. This is the dumb, naive girl who did not realize that appendicitis is not contagious. At the same time, she clearly has a mean streak in her (wanting to see someone hurt by a blindside), so maybe it was just karma. At any rate I think we learned something very important last night.....Kat has no idea what touche means.

 

[SuperT]

The problem I have with Kim is that she is playing a very good strategic game but I don't see her connections to the jury that'll give her the win especially when we're shown how well Sabrina treats people throughout the game.

I'm probably 95% sure she will win but I wouldn't be surprised in the least if she lost. A lot of people's heads are way to stuck in gamebot mode they forget about that.

 

[PemLam]

Sabrina's comment about not voting for the person who played the best game because she might be in a bad mood about getting blindsided or voted off is one of the reasons I think the whole Survivor final tribal council is flawed. That's how pieces of **** like Sandra win and how people who've played superbly like Kim lose. Hopefully Sabrina will get voted off sooner, rather than later so she'll have a few days or more to cool off and think about her decision.

"Touché ... or um whatever"

Priceless, I really don't think there's much working between Kat's ears.

I feel like that is just editing at play that doesn't really show Kim's social side (as her personality, while not bad, is fairly bland). Kim seems to be well liked enough to win. Plus she is smart. She's not being Hantz. Remember when Troyzan got all aggro? What did she do? She let Chelsea, Sabrina and Kat fight with him while she hung back and came out smelling like roses. Kim isn't pissing anyone off while also masterminding the game. It's fairly inspired. Plus, if the final three turns out to be Kim, Chelsea and Alicia (as I suspect), Kim has it in the bag.

 

[Wyrminarrd]

Kim is playing a strong social game, she clearly has everyone in her pocket as it really is incredible that her name isn't being thrown around as a threat.

Kim's biggest worry should be how to vote out players who are in her alliance without pissing them off so much that they alienate every one else at loser lodge. I personally thought it was pathetic what Sabrina said about voting for the winner. If I was on the jury and heard that it would instantly guarantee that I would never vote for her to get a million dollars, no way would I give a person who is that self centred and petty my vote.

 

[SuperT]

Being able to control people does not mean you have a good social game, that's the mistake Russell made two seasons in a row. Now that it's down to the wire and all that's left are just your own alliance members it take's a lot of finesse to betray people you're allied with and put them on the jury so they vote for you. Kim's gonna have to be very delicate.

Couple that with the fact that the jury is going be stacked with all the guys, who after watching the Ponderosa clips, seem to be pulling for Sabrina and are cold on Kim, I think she's gonna have a tough battle ahead of her at the Final TC depending on who she's up against.

It's close, but I don't she has this wrapped up so easily.

 

[Matt]

But Sab isn't going to make finals unless she goes on a crazy immunity run. She'll probably be the next one voted out. Hell, I could see Kim bringing any combination of Alicia, Christina, and Tarzan to the finals. No matter how many people she betrays, they won't vote for any of them over her. It is a Boston Rob situation. If you bring someone useless enough to the finals, as long as you are competent, you can win no matter what you did.

 

[PemLam]

Just watched the arrival of Kat to Ponderosa. I found myself enjoying her misery as she walked out of tribal crying and continued crying hysterically on the ride to Ponderosa. By the end of "part 2" of her arrival she started to be somewhat rational about the game...it'll be interesting to see her reaction to the next person that shows up at Ponderosa (my bet is on Sabrina or Chelsea).

Something else I'm seeing is that Mike is pretty much a *****e bag. He's avoiding others in Ponderosa, doesn't greet anyone as they arrive and is generally antisocial. Dude, you got voted out...make the best of the time you have left and enjoy yourself. You're experiencing something only a microscopic fraction of the world will ever get to experience.

 

[SuperT]

Sabrina is awesome. She's asking people on Twitter to vote her fan favorite and a portion of the money she gets will go towards helping her launch a new travel school for teens. Fun!

 

[Matt]

Is it me or is Tarzan actually playing a smart game? He is like Philip Shepard if Philip Shepard had a brain.

 

[Matt]

Why on Earth does Alicia think that she has this type of power or is "controlling the social game?" Is telling people what worthless pieces of **** they are until they cry her idea of making friends?

 

[Harry_Lime02]

So Alicia voted out the person who's been up her ass since before the merge and one of the few people she can beat...lolpwnd.

 

[SuperT]

Chelsea, Sabrina, and Christina really benefited from tonight's voting results. I don't think it was in Kim or Alicia's best interest to vote Tarzan out, especially Kim. If she wants a slam dunk win at the finals, she's gonna need to drag along Christina and Alicia.

That could prove to be hard for trying to get past Sabrina and Chelsea.

 

[Sawyer]

The face Troy made at the girls at the very end was gif-worthy.

 

[PemLam]

Much too late in the game for Tarzan to start scrambling; and ultimately he was hopelessly outmatched in a battle of charm and wits with Kim.

I found myself shaking my head every time Alicia would make some ridiculous comment about how she's the power player...I can only imagine the comments she's making as she watches these episodes on tv and realizes what a delusional moron she truly is.

Gotta tell you, for a minute I was worried the clueless three would pull it off and get Chelsea voted off. My worst nightmare would have been the 3 morons get her out then start taking out Sabrina and Kim...leaving us with dumb, dumber and dumbest in the final three.

As for Kim, she truly deserves to win the million, but if she does stick with her plan to bring Sabrina and Chelsea, which is the honorable thing to do I believe, I think it will backfire on her because there's enough animosity in the jury against her that people will shift the vote to Sabrina out of spite.

Lastly...I think Kat was right to be upset and disgusted that Tarzan would put her bikini bottoms on his head. That is a truly vile and disgusting man.

 

[SuperT]

I don't think the jury voting for Sabrina would be out of spite, she's played a good game herself with being the leader of the women's tribe since day one. As well as creating the necessary connections with the jury members.

Either her or Kim really are the only two left that can win. I thought Chelsea would be a dark horse because I could see her snatching the win from Kim if the jury dislikes K, but she seems to have fallen off slightly.

There is no one more deserving of the money than Kim. Sabrina has played a decent game but like so many in the past, it's relied too heavily on sitting back and letting someone else take the lead. For that fact alone, that Kim was the "mastermind" behind most of the removal of the jury, Sabrina (if she makes it to final 3) will take at least a couple votes if not more.

As for Chelsea, I don't think there's a chance she gets a single vote unless she goes to the final 3 with Christina and Alicia. She's ridden Kim's coattails virtually the whole game, or at least been made to look that way. Most juries, even the most spiteful one's typically don't vote for that person unless they're the lesser of the evils. Cough...Sandra...cough.

 

[Wyrminarrd]

I think that Kim can easily win this no matter who she's up against. She clearly knows how to sweet talk people and I for some reason feel that the guy's aren't that bitter at her in particular. Every thing that Kim did to the guys is something that Chelsea and Sabrina did as well so it really should come down to who played the best game amongst them, at least that's what I hope.

I hope so to but the jurors typically are petty and vindictive. Hell, Sabrina came right out in tribal and said she might not vote for the best player if she was in a bad mood after getting voted out. Petty. Petty and sad.

 

[SuperT]

Sitting back and letting someone such as Kim try to be the mastermind is a perfect strategy because nine times out of ten that person is going paint themselves into a corner. Just like Russell, Parvati, Boston Rob in All Stars, Stephen in Tocantins, and a lot of others I'm forgetting.

It's funny how so many people trying to be a mastermind since because that role in the game hardly ever wins the entire show. It's pays to just sit back and let people make an a** of themselves.

Heck, that's the strategy I'd utilize if I'm ever on the show.

ETA: Forgot to mention, congrats to the ladies, they are the first all woman Final Five in Survivor History!

 

[Matt]

ALicia just said in the first few minutes that she will be sitting at the end because she played one hell of a game. That guarantees that she will be the next gone.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

I'm thinking a Kim, Chelsea & Alicia final three myself with an easy Kim victory. We'll see though.

I think Sabrina is going to get a knife in her back shortly.
