Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine Survivor: FANS v FAVES 2

So, the decimation of the men continues... Troyzan (stupidest name ever) is gone as soon as he fails to win an immunity idol... he made a lot of sense at tribal council in terms of how some of the fringe girls could shift things... shame they didn't listen...

Yeah, if they wanted to, Christina, Alicia, Leif and Tarzan could have sided with Troyzan and used him until they got all the other four out...and then vote Troyzan out. Are Christina and Alicia REALLY too dumb to know that they're next to go after the guys?!?!

Whatev. Looks to be a very predictable season from this point out unless Troy can somehow keep winning challenges or find an idol.

I am kinda hoping Troy DOES "pull a Fabio" and win all the immunities! I'd like to see him make final 3, and that is the only way he will make it there.

and so it goes... hasta la vista, Troy... you were a cocky bastard...

As always in Survivor, my interest in the season wanes when one tribe just dominates over another. And this season has definitely been going that way for the last few episodes. If Kim, Chelsea and whoever they decided to drag along with them as a goat are the final 3 then the editors will have done a terrible job of keeping this season suspenseful - because it seems like all signs have been pointing to those two, Kim especially, since practically the beginning.

On the plus side, Christina survives YET ANOTHER Tribal that could very easily have seen her sent home. I do feel sorry for her though - despite seeming perfectly lovely, she's clearly not a favourite of anyone's out there.

My hope to win at this point - ANYONE BUT KIM (because that would make for an extremely boring and predictable ending). Though I'd hate to see Alicia win anything either.

I'd be happy with an anybody but Kim or Alcia win too. I thought my interest would also wane now that Troy's out, but... I kinda find myself excited about watching the girls pull out their claws and turn on each other.

Well, MLLASH was right about the in-fighting between the girls bringing the excitement. I thought this latest episode was one of the best of the season.

The Tribal Council especially was one of the best yet - loved the way Kat kept digging her own grave and making herself more and more unlikeable (to me anyway), and the editing before Jeff revealed the final vote was great -the way Kat looked to her "allies" for assistance and the camera showed all three of them looking away (there was probably some editorial trickery going on there but it was still a great touch) - and then finally to see one of the most annoying members of the female tribe sent packing in tears... it was a thrilling scene all round.

Hoping the rest of the season continues the excitement.

Tee-hee! Kat's elimination was hysterical! I wonder if she still thinks blindsides are fun and exciting? Poor thing, at least she can go to her cousin for support ...and a kinda creepy jumping, arms and legs around his body hug!!!!! If he isn't gay, that was just WRONG.

Yeah we finally got a little unexpected spice this episode... certainly the most fun episode to watch since Colton left.

This is the first time I recall seeing a girls alliance (I know there have been others I missed) in action... who's gonna feel the SLASH of their claws next?

Kat's elimination was one of the best in recent seasons... an epic blindside right after she was going on about how much she much likes when blindsides happen... she sealed her fate with that reward challenge... too much of a threat to Kim and Chelsea... I can't remember a cast member crying like she did when voted off... can't wait to see how she acts at her first appearance on the jury...

I'm sure she's also blabbing to the guys at the Ponderosa about how Kim is the brains behind all of their eliminations. Could bode VERY badly for Kim...

... or VERY well for her if they see her as the puppet master behind the scenes.

I think it will depend on how bitter the jury is. Will they vote according to their wounded hearts? Or will they give the award based on game-play (which, as much as it bores me, Kim has been running rings around the other girls in)?

I'm leaning toward the latter option. The editing this season has been shining SOOOOO neon-bright toward a Kim victory that I'll be amazed if anyone else gets even a couple of votes. Kim has got this one in the bag IMO.

I guess, all things considered, she really does deserve the win. I just hate to be bored

I skipped this week's ep and read the recap instead, which seems like a wise move considering the predictable vote-off.

I'm DEFINITELY watching next week though-- that should be fairly interesting!

The finale always seems to sneak up on me... as uneven as this season has been, I'm pretty happy with the final five... I'd love to see Kim get voted out early in the finale leaving Christina in the final three... the final tribal council is always best when the remaining survivors have to defend why they are worthy of being there...

Kim is very slick to get Alicia and Christina to turn on Tarzan instead of taking out Chelsea, which would have been the smarter move. Kim's skating figure eights around everyone else with her moves. Alicia and Christina don't have a chance of winning, now. Kim would deserve it, but I'd like to see Sabrina win most of those that remain.

I had no love for Tarzan so I'm not sorry to see him go. I AM sorry that there seems to have been so little talk about getting Kim out though, when she's clearly the biggest threat out there. (Unless it's been edited out.)

I'd like to see Christina, Chelsea or Sabrina win the final. It won't happen though. I am 100% positive that Kim will win. The editing has been way too obvious this season.

If I'm wrong I'll post a nude pic in this thread!

Just to make sure there are no surprises, this nude pic will be of yourself and feature nudity of what variety? Full frontal is best but rear frontal is also acceptible!

LOSE KIM LOSE!!!!!!!!!!!

SUPRISE! Christina took it all!

kidding....no surprise.

But Kat showed a surprising and touching side of herself at the final Tribal Council.

Yeah, tribal was decidedly un-bitter and really touching in the cases of Kat and Tarzan.

Colton got raked over the coals in the reunion. And so did Alicia for her "special needs" comments. Honestly, these guys were hamming it up for the cameras as many in their situation are prone to do. I never take them too seriously. I get annoyed by the behavior but never offended.

I skipped watching and read about it on EW. While I am disappointed to be missing out on nudie Blacula pictures, I suppose there really was no other way for this to go. I am surprised there was no Bitter Jury Syndrome... but that there wasn't just proves the point that Kim 100% deserved the win.

I really want a season with moments like Parvati playing 2 immunity idols at tribal again soon though.

Uggggh... I read on EW that next season sees 3 returning players, and rumour is one of them is Russell. I shan't be subjected to another Russell season. I have come to a conclusion: Returning player seasons suck, unless it is an All-Star season, then things get interesting.

^ I'm really over returning players too. Unless, like you say, it's an All-Stars season; or what I would REALLY like to see - AN ALL-WINNER'S SEASON! That would be great. I think I heard a while ago that one of the reasons they hadn't done it yet was because there hadn't been enough female winners to even out the cast, but surely they'd have enough by now?

Anyhoo, as for this seasons's winner - YAWN! Completely predictable since about episode 3. She was a worthy winner though and seems like a nice person too so I can't begrudge Kim her win. She deserved it. I just wish the editors had been able to make the outcome seem a little less inevitable. But maybe they only had so much to work with if the others out there just weren't playing the game as hard as she was?

However, since I got Lash so excited by the idea, it seems only fair that I go ahead and post the afore-mentioned nude pic.

PLEASE DO NOT CLICK ON THE SPOILER BOX IF FULL FRONTAL NUDITY OR DICK PICS OFFEND YOU!

*glare*

And I *love* the idea of an ALL-WINNERS season!!!

Actually, Lash, the promo made it pretty clear that all three returnees were players who had been medically evaced from the show because of injury or illness. Russell wasn't one of those guys.

If that's true, I'm crossing my fingers that among the three will be Michael from S2/Australian Outback who burned his hands in a fire when he passed out. He was really owning that season before the incident. (Colby ended up being the star afterwards even though Tina won.)
Michael was one of six or so possibilities shown in a montage. I previously kept hoping he would return in other All-Star, etc. editions with returning participants, but he's never shown up.

Colton would be another obvious possibility. I still would have liked to have seen how this past season would have turned out had he not gone down. Kim getting to the end would not have been a foregone conclusion, I suspect.

Then I am relieved!! I actually think bringing back players who left for medical reasons is kinda nice! The Russel rumor was started in the comments section... should known better than to pay attention to the comments section.
