didn't see it coming

I think Xander is playing a great game. I’ve thought several times they would vote him out because he seems like such a threat. Next week should be interesting.

 

[FigmentSpark]

I was surprised about how that final vote went. I was sure it would have gone the other way. I'd love to know why that happened.

Not really surprised, DeShaun seems to be closer to the others than Danny was.

Liking Erica less and less each week. She is a passive-aggressive b.

I was just listening to RHAP and they were talking about how few women have won in the more recent years (as compared to the first 'half' of survivor seasons where it was split fairly well 50/50). I'm not sure what Ericka can do to win, but I thought she did very well on last night's show. She speaks to the heart of Survivor strategy very well at tribal council. She appeared to have gotten the 4 of them to vote out Danny rather than Deshawn, which was her preference. And as Stephen said on the podcast, she even got a good "you're welcome, friend" in after Deshawn was safe, which may score points with the jury -- indicating she was instrumental in how the vote went.

Generally I think that women who are strategic are judged more harshly than men. I didn't find her at all annoying last night, she was explaining in her 1:1 interviews that what might be good for her wasn't necessarily good for the rest, but that she had to try to get them to vote with her. She appears to have done it. She's trying to win a million dollars and she's a few tribal councils away. If she wasn't playing hard, well she'd be like Heather.

That said, I'm currently pulling for Xander, but honestly anyone but Heather works for me.

Danny's Ponderosa. Love this guy!

 

[lovin'fl]

Yeah Heather is the goat, the dud to bring to the end to beat. There is something about Deshawn that rubs me wrong so I was hoping he'd go instead of Danny. Oh well. Team Xander, Ricard or Erica at this point. Deshawn winning isn't my preference but won't crush me either. But dead weight Heather winning...uggg. No thanks!

It’s like they’re so focussed on getting Rickard out, they’ve forgotten about Xander. Lol. Doesn’t Xander have an idol?

Yes, and I think he has to use it by next tribal. So, he should be safe, regardless.

Good.

I think if Xander makes it to the final 3, he’s going to win. I think the majority of the jury would choose Xander over Ricard.

The jury is not in favor of Xander at all. Ricard would win against Xander. Erika will win against Xander. Heather can't win at all. Not sure how Deshawn will fare.

You really think Erika would win against Xander?
I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I'd pick Heather over Erika. lol.

I’d be happy if either Xander or Erika won. They’ve both worked smart. I’m not sure why anyone thinks that’s she’s a b. I think she’s sweet. But I’m not analyzing with a fine tooth comb. It’s entertainment.

I feel the same way.

For me, there’s just something super annoying about her. Her voice? The things she says? I don’t know exactly. Lol.

Here is the order I hope they finish….

1. Xander
2. Ricard
3. Deshawn
4. Heather
5. Erika

I’d be okay if Ricard wins it too.

I find she is very passive-aggressive in the way she plays the game, not a trait I like.

The only change I would make in your order is to switch the bottom two.

Don't forget there is a big proponent in jury who really want a girl to win. And Erika has done more in the game than Heather. And that same proponent really REALLY hate Xander.

With this final bunch I'd vote Ricard to win...then Erika or Xander. Then Deshawn. I'd refuse to vote for Heather to win.

I guess if they want to band together and vote for a girl, Erika could win.

I just don’t remember people hating Xander. Okay, maybe Liana.
But I feel as if nobody on the jury ever liked or trusted Erika.

If you watch the first few Ponderosa videos they all come in and bash Xander. Seem fixated on him.
