Survivor - Exile Island is getting hot!

[Laurajean1014]

Tonight they vote down to the final three and Sunday night is the Grand Finale!

Cirie is upset and finally feeling the heat of being them most unathletic and not being able to manipulate the game anymore (that why she is blowing off at Terry). With the imunity idle and being a great athlete, Terry is now making the final 3 Casayas pick each other off.

Cirie now has to make up her mind between Aras and Danielle. (I think she will go with Aras).

What do you think?

Watching the previews for Thursday and Sunday...I can tell you who will be the top 3.......

Highlight to read here: They show two seperate clips, clarifying Thursday and Sunday. In Sunday's clip they show Cirie running with a bag, and Terry and Aras trying to climb some wall. So, it looks like Danielle draws the short straw Thursday night.


What is up with Mark Burnett lately? He is given way too much away in the previews. He never used to be like that.

 

[Laurajean1014]

So, if Terry makes it to the top three and the challenge takes out Cirie, than who will the jury pick - Terry or Aras?

If for any reason, Cirie makes it, than who will win Terry or Cirie?

Cirie was backstabbing but I'm not sure if the contentants see what we see?

So, Cirie would win, based on the jury?

 

[sunlver]

I would like to see Terry Win. He is a good athlete and has won many competitions. Cirie,like many other survivors, has ridden on the coat tails of everybody else in the game. She is not athletic, she never wins much of anything. (I think she won one reward challenge????)She thinks shes in such a hot spot now. She does not deserve to win.

IMHO, I think Terry is a better Survivor than the others that remain. After all, this is Outwit, Outplay, Outlast. The fact that he is still there after they picked of the rest of his tribe one by one is a testament. I agree, Cirie is just there b/c people did not see her as a big enough threat to take her off yet. I think she's just NOW starting to come up with some strategies. Maybe she didn't plan anything yet b/c she wasn't even confident that she'd be here at this point.

I think Terry has a good chance of winning it all if he can make it to the final two....after all, he hasn't really backstabbed anyone. The Casaya members have all had to hurt each other by picking off their own, so they've created hard feelings amongst themselves. Besides, if the jury picks based on who PLAYED the game the best, IMHO, that's Terry.

But then there is the fact he won the car....and you all know the car jinx.

1st: Danielle
2nd: Cirie
3rd: Terry
4th: Aras

Just my prediction anyway

Cirie was backstabbing but I'm not sure if the contentants see what we see? So, Cirie would win, based on the jury?

Don't forget 3 of Terrys teammates are on the jury! So if he makes the final 2 --which is at least fairly likely -- he may only need ONE of the others to win.

Of couse he didn't use his precious idol to keep any of the 3 of them on the island... so maybe they will vote the other way. But none of them seemed mad at him when they gave thier departure speech.

I think Cirie has done the best at "out wit" and Terry the best at "out play"... but that doesn't guarentee either of them the final 2.
Ulitimately it is who will "out last".

 

[jgmklmhem]

I personally think Terry either knowingly or not has actually engaged in some really good game play in the outwit catagory. He reached out to Courtney pretty much at the exact right time. A few days after the popularity reward challenge so he might get her vote. He also gave Shane his son at the exact right time just before the others turned on him and ousted him. Now I am not sure he has been savvy enough to pick up on these things before hand or if he has dumb lucked in to these because he always looks dumbfounded when the vote doesn't go the way the others have outwardly said it would. Also remember during the Popularity contest that Bruce was very quickly eliminated right behind Terry. It went Terry 1,2,3 then Bruce 1,2,3. SO he might have Bruce's vote as well if he makes it.

Another observation is that in the final 4 there is one member from each of the original 4 tribes Terry old men, Cirie old women, Danielle young women, and Aras young men.

 

[Jennifer S]

I'd like to see Terry and Cirie in the final two. I personally think Terry has been the best player - ever. He has made it to the end - virtually alone w/ everyone else against him. I just like Cirie. She made it pretty far too. Remember in the beginning Shane said - "Your next" and she outlasted him!

What am I going to do in the summer w/o my reality shows?

 

[Laurajean1014]

Hmmm. I would like to see Terry will because he DESERVES it. However, that's not always the case in Survivor.

Cirie is not smart or strategic, she's just a wee bit sneakier than the "dumb bunch," aka, Danielle, Aras, Shane. If you put their four heads together, they would make mush.

If you were Aras or Danielle, would you trust Cirie? You've seen what she's done to "her friends," so what would make you any better?

I believe that Shane will probaby go with Terry, but Shane is not stable. He's so out there, he just may forget how Aras, Cirie and Danielle, wallupped him two tribal councils in a row. If Aras or Danielle had a brain, they would have taken Cirie out of the game. She doesn't have much sticking to her (other than what we see, what Danielle and Aras see and of course, what Terry knows)..... Taking her to the final two is a mistake for any of them. Shane said that she is perceived to be the "perfect" one and Aras "golden boy."

It would be smart for Terry to align with Danielle. She has more junk in her trunk than the others. Courtney feels that she was bamboozled by Danielle, so maybe if she can concentrate, she will vote for Terry.

That gives Terry a possible 4 votes (Austin, Sally, Courtney and Shane). I do not see Bruce changing his mind. He's too much of a follower and not a leader. He just wants peace, not what's right. He knows in his heart Terry is the winner, but his pen may write otherwise.

 

[carone0318]

Should be interesting tonight and Sunday. For my Survivor pool I picked Aras, so I sort of want him to win (for money purposes).

I believe that Aras will be F2. Too much build up for Terry and the rivalry between the 2. I see Terry going down at some point.

I did see what someone else has mentioned about seeing the promo during Amazing Race last night with the final 3. I also heard that when Amazing Race aired on the west coast, that promo was edited.

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

You know that no one who ever won the car has won survivor. I'm still pulling for Terry.

 

[Laurajean1014]

Yes, but sooner or later that will change, so I'm hoping Terry will break that spell.

It would be very sad to see a spoiled little brat, like Aras to win anything.

 

[Laurajean1014]

Okay, Cirie's fire LOOKED bigger than Danielle's, so does that mean that the final three are Cirie (Sneaker/backstabber), Aras (Arogant not-know-it all) and Terry (Mister America)?

I would like to see Cirie go home (I tired of hearing how "she's doing this for the family and how she needs to money) - she needs to STOP playing that sad song.

 

[Jennifer S]

I read on the Survivor thread that someone heard Shane on the radio and he basically said Cirie and Terry were the final two. I just don't get how Shane legally could say that befor it airs.

Interesting......The clip here on the West Coast was a little different than the above scenario - I think they are messing with us and we won't know nothing until Sunday - Personally I want to see Terry win

 

[grimley1968]

I wouldn't guess who's going to be in the Final 3 by those previews. Survivor is notorious for showing scenes for upcoming episodes that are not even from those episodes. I think they do it just to throw people off, or maybe even just to put something visually exciting in there when the episode may not be that interesting.

I sure hope Terry wins it all. He's been my favorite Survivor of all time. He's just a pure winner. I've never heard him whine like some of the others, yet he's been pretty much alone against Casaya for several shows now.

Aras, on the other hand, comes off as extremely bratty to me, especially when Terry didn't pick him to accompany him after he won the "time with family" challenge. Terry had to choose someone, and it certainly made sense for him to pick Shane and Cirie over Aras and Danielle, based on the types of family members involved. Yet Aras tried to turn it around on Terry, basically implying that his need to see his mom was greater than Shane's need to see his son, or Terry's wish to see his wife when we WON the challenge. Then last night, Aras tried that "Terry is whining" card, when Terry was simply trying to understand the rules of a challenge. He then said something about Terry being sexist, of which there has never been a hint on Terry's part. The attitude of everyone against Terry is unbelievably poisonous. I think that envious, petty attitude will come back to haunt anyone who would have to go against Terry in the final 2.

I think if it came down to Terry and Aras, Terry would win. I think the jury will see Terry as the best, and fairest, survivor and Aras as the selfish, immature brat he is.

Editing to add: Am I the only one who thinks Aras' hair looks absolutely ridiculous when he does that weird little pompadour with it? I mean, it looks as bad as Ed Grimley's hair in my avatar picture! I think Aras does a lot of things to draw attention to himself, and this trick of his hair is a bit over the top.

John, I totally agree with you on all points. Every episode I comment to DH and my DS's that I can't stand Aras' hair! And I can understand Terry asking for clarification - I thought, too, that they were supposed to go to ONE station to count things and then go back to the start. I just hope that losing this challenge and having to listen to Aras' stupid whining and remarks gives Terry the added oomph to win the next immunity challenge! Go Terry!

 

[cats mom]

You know there have been several times after Jeff explained the challenges that I've been sitting at home thinking "huh? better run through those rules one more time."

I always figured they must have given a more detailed explanation for the survivors and then just the short version for the cameras. But maybe not.

I can totally see how there was a misunderstanding and Terry thought you had to go back to only one station at a time to recount.

I think that the conversation that you are referring to about Aras and Terry with the family visit basically started because Terry came back to camp and tried to justify why he picked who he picked. He didn't really need to that. I think that Terry was the one who discounted Aras relationship with him mother as "less important". Maybe to Terry, but Aras was saying that his mom is the most important to him. In all fairness Terry got to play God and he felt he needed to justify his reasons. Terry is the one trying to place different values on the each survivors relationship, not Aras. Aras was defending his position.

I do believe that Terry is also selfish. Having the hidden immunity and never once giving it to his tribe mates to save them while he had the immunity necklace. Does he have to give it to the other members, no but it is a bit selfish considering how cocky he is about his ability to win.

Would love to see Cirie win it all, but doubt it. Don't be surprised when Cirie is gone with this upcoming fire challenge.

As I said before, I am pulling for Aras because if he wins, I win money! Need I say more. I was very happy to see Terry get dung down a notch last night. At least he can now believe that Aras is truly a threat rather than just keep saying it. If things go the way I think they will, I think Aras will win the last immunity challenge also.
