Survivor: Palau...official Thread

I was so sad to see Steph go too. It was so funny how white and bright her teeth were. Hehe.

I don't know who to get behind now. I think I only know who Tom and Ian are, everyone else i can't remember their names yet.

Steph played a good game until last night and then she blew it. Steph should've went straight to Tom after the "girls alliance" talk since it was actually Katie's idea, those all female alliances have a history of never working! If she had told Tom(in addition to Caryn) Tom/Ian would've seen that Katie was trying to betray them and they could've voted Katie off instead with a solid alliance of four people. Oh well.

I agree Steph should have turned the tables on the Katie. She would more than likely still be in the game.

a deep, beautiful tan (like the one she has) will make your teeth seem whiter!!

I dont think she could have because the guys know that katie is in no way a threat. She really doesnt seem to exert any effort and they know it whereas as Steph was going to be giving it her all. She was the only girl that was any kind of threat to them.

Did anyone else find it ironic that Tom was begging for his hide because he helped them win and hoped his strength wouldn't be seen as a detriment to him etc....then he goes and votes Steph off for the same exact reasons????

Well not really because Tom played strong to help his tribe win which at the time didn't include Steph. Sure Steph was a hard player but she did so in efforts to try and beat them for the entire first 1/2 of the game, the exact opposite of Tom. Therefore they felt little, if any, allegiance towards her because of it.

Yeah, but Tom was referring to winning all those immunity challenges when they were a team, and how he hoped that they wouldn't immediately vote him off now that it's individual (essentially saying, I helped get you all this far- don't stab me in the back now just cause I'm strong)...since Steph was on the opposite team, I think it's a little different. I think Tom's alliance should be stronger with the team he stuck it out with for 20 days than something he said to Stephenie on day 2.

I *am* sad to see Steph go- she had a great heart, and was a great competitor...I bet Jeff was a little sad to see her go- I kinda got the feeling he was rooting for her. I admired her six pack abs! I wish I could have a stomach like that!

Oh me too, her abs were amazing!

I disagree about the final people being Jen and Greg, I think Tom is WAY to smart to let that happen ! I think Tom has Ian is his back pocket..... my guess is that it will be Tom, Ian and Katie.... then Katie will go and we'll be left with Tom and Ian with Tom winning it

I think it will be Tom/Ian/Katie in the finals too but I wish they'd leave Katie behind because I really don't like her. Past that I think it's a toss up for the final two but I really want it to be Tom/Ian. The main problem is if Tom/Ian win the final immunity and either of them take Katie they'd probably win it all, so that will be a tempting option for them both.

 

[Dchef]

Man, Gregg is such an operator! I really think he's the one pulling strings behind the scenes. He convinced Tom and Ian to vote Steph last week (but Janu ruined his plans), and I'm pretty confident the girl thing would have never worked out. Clearly, they didn't have confidence in Caryn. But my vote is for Gregg to take it, he's physically strong, has Jenn in his pocket, and nobody sees him as a threat.

I really think the lack of TC's for this group affects how they perceive the game. Weaker players are still in it and the strong ones don't see the kind of conniving that you usually get. Can't say I care for it as much, but it is interesting to see how it plays out. Anyway, you heard it here first, Gregg to take it.

I agree with this so much--I feel as though the game really changed a lot with the IC being consumed by one tribe...the dynamics are off in the game. It should have been two tribes coming together and new alliences being made.Granted we don't hear everything, but its bull that you want to "keep the original tribe together" Steph was open game when she came over and was easy to persuade into a "new Plan" that included her and NO ONE took advantage of it at all--instead they would rather keep the weak ones around like Jen, Katie and Caryn to use as a pawn in the end of the game--now they don't have the numbers to do it and it won't happen!! Sometimes I just don't get it--but I also know that they are the ones in the moment, not me.

That's an interesting point when you think about the talk that Tom and Caryn had. If he can convince Caryn and Ian to vote of Gregg or Jen, he just has to get Katie on board. There was that earlier issue of Katie Ian and Tom being together, but now I think that Katie and Jen are really close. It could really turn out to be 3 against 3.

If there is a tie vote next week does the jury decide?

 

[Dchef]

I don't think these people saw All-Stars... it was probably playing here while they were out on Palau filming. If they had seen it, I think they'd be a lot more wary of Gregg and Jenn. Either that or Gregg and Jenn would never have gotten so cozy to begin with.

Not possible --All Stars was two seasons ago-- Chris won last and before that was AS--they saw it!

 

[Dchef]

Sad to see Steph go....

At least Steph tried to go out by actually winning the game. She wasn't satisfied with trying to just come in 4-6 like all the other girls appear to be. It just frustrates me so much that people are satisfied with not winning. Reminds me of that woman with Clay and Brian on Marquesas? She was satisfied with coming in 3rd. Didn't even try to get past them. So frustrating....makes me sad to be a woman sometimes. Caryn and Katie were complete idiots last night by not agreeing to a female alliance. Only Jen has a chance now for the women.

OMGosh--Marquesas was THE WORST--we all had to sit by and watch Brian and Clay walk all over these woman--they just sat by passively and let them have control--I hated that one..it was boring and predictable!! Truth is though is that the guy WANT one of the woman with them in the final two because it increases their chances--better for the veiwers to see Tom and Greg battle it out--but they don't want that at all!!!

 

[Dchef]

Cannot wait to see the look on Caryn's face next week when she is sent packing. When her and Tom were walking along the beach, he said "we have 5 strong....and you could make it 6"....what?? outta 7?? Didn't she do the math?? I will love watching Caryn, Katie, and Ian get picked off and then have Tom, Gregg & Jen in the final 3.....that's the way I think it'll go down. Ladies, you are a very stupid bunch (for not getting rid of Tom) and none of you deserve to win! And, IF Jen makes it to the final 2....I'm bettin' she wins.....she has "ridden the coattails" well...just like what's her name?....oh yeah! AMBER!

SO you think someone riding someones coat tails deserves to be the soul survivor???

Absolutely not. From who is left, I am rooting for Ian. Would someone stick a sock in Tom's mouth? What a bunch of idiots. He finally did not have immunity. He should have been gone. UGH

Hmm, But the guy is strong and he has played the game well. Sorry, I think he deserves to be where he is--the rest of them, no way!! I think Tom is the only ONLY reason that tribe never went to TC. Because without him pulling everyone along in challenges--they wouldn't be here now!! I think they know that. Granted, they should have booted him for strategy purposes it would have been the SMART thing to do.

 

[Barb]

I just want to be able to see their faces when they realize they made the wrong choice. How stupid! They had the perfect opportunity to get rid of the strongest player. What a mistake! Steph could have gone later.

That one was Thailand... Marquesas had Vecepia as the winner--the final 3 were all women. Thailand WAS the worst season- I agree.
