I think Abi has got to the part of the game where she is more important that she thinks.

You have two strong teams of two and her - she’s the swing vote.

All the moves tonight will be trying to get it down to a final four - that includes Abi (the goat- but she doesn’t know it).

[Uncle Chip]

Malcom will not sell out Denise. He will win and give her his ii. They will then take the high road and vote for Abi compelling the others to do the same.

[Uncle Chip]

Finally —

I thought she was neeeeeeevvvvvvvveeeeeeeerrrrrrr going to leave.

As I dunk another chocolate chip cookie, here’s to the final four and hopes that Denise wins immunity next week.

[bgill]

Everyone, hide your cookies! Uncle Chip wins!

I can NOT believe they sent Abi home. Ok, fine, it gives #2,3, and 4 a move up the ladder by one rung and more loser money but if they’re really playing for the #1 spot and all the marbles then they may have shot themselves in the foot. Too many “nice” players at the end. Malcolm deserves the win and has from the beginning but as Abi said, Denise just might take it from him. This has been one strange season.

Mike drunk on sugar?

Abi still doesn’t have a clue with social play. She’s missing the tact gene.

Thankfully, we’ll know the winner before the world ends. Cancel all appointments and get your chocolate chips, popcorn and pizza ready for the two hours finale on Sunday.

[Uncle Chip]

I can NOT believe they sent Abi home.

Hey -- that's the way the cookie crumbles. Chocolate chip cookies are in abundance -- more please.

I thought there might have been a possibility that Abi would stay when Malcom [stupidly] refused to give Denise the idol.

But then Abi sealed her own fate when she turned to Mike and told him he was a moron -- LOL. If he had not voted her off at that point he would have been a moron.

She has probably been making the jury's life miserable. I'll bet there was a move between this show and the last to get her voted off the jury. Will they be able to shut her up on Sunday???

Well anyway I think Malcom may have a made a mistake allying with Mike/Lisa against Denise -- but we will see. I don't think that bode well for him, especially since after she is gone he will now be outnumbered 2 to 1.

While I think Malcom was a shoe in before tonite, I think Mike with this new alliance now has the edge -- with Malcom in the Middle.

[PeteB570]

Well, I was wrong but.......

Instead of three to one it’s now 2 against 2.

Maybe the “rat and snake” speech will be spoken again at the final TC.

[Uncle Chip]

What’s the “rat and snake” speech???

[PeteB570]

The first season - Sue’s speech to the finalists.

Besides that one what are your three other most memorable moments ever.

[PeteB570]

The girls dropping Buffs during a chalenge for food was pretty good for # 1.

All the icky food challenges Ican total as # 2.

As for memorable - I don’t think it’s memorable - but I love to see how people are picked - or not picked - when it gets down to the last few Reward Challanges.

If I had a tight alliance with somebody we’d have an agreement not to pick each other at a RC. Each of our “jobs” would be to work on the others while the groups were apart.

[Uncle Chip]

I’ve always liked the drama at Tribal Council especially over blindsides: like Rob sending Matt back to Redemption Island, Eliza trying to play Ozzie’s phony ii, and of course Ozzie going home with his in his pocket.

[EveningStar]

Look at the confrontation at Ponderosa between RC and Abi: Part1 Part2

[PeteB570]

Well, at least RC cleared the air about just who placed the noted that got Abi all fired up.

A lot of folks on other survivor sites poo-pooed her remark about voting her off was what got them there in Ponderosa but..........

She has a point. When Pete let Abi go after RC it fractured their 5 person (Carter) alliance and allowed Mike and Lisa to start running the ball. Maybe the same four would be in the final four, maybe not - but it sure changed the pecking order on the boots.

[Uncle Chip]

So the drama continues over at the Ponderosa.

Pete has his little bobcat with him now so they can commiserate together.

Abi says: "a million dollars ... and they took that away from me". ---- really.

Abi says: "I was here for the money not to make friends." -- and she says that as if nobody would have known that if she hadn't said it.

Pete and Abi were in control early on but it slipped out of their grasps when they couldn't stop ripping on their own tribe members -- and they still can't stop. I fully expect them to keep on doing that on Sunday as well -- ripping on Mike and Lisa. They are two solid votes against them.

Also sounds like Carter wants to hook up with Abi after the show. Oh yeh -- that'll be fun. We'll see if Carter has any scars on him on Sunday.

On Sunday will they have a firm timeclock on Abi's filibuster or a muzzle for her mouth or a hook -- or all three.

[I Drive Too Fast]

yoo hoo, Abi. NEWS FLASH: You were there because the producers wanted eye candy.

[bgill]

Blah, for a million dollar game, the Ponderosa is ratty.

Even eating, Abi can’t stop talking about herself .

[Uncle Chip]

Note to producers: next time select eyecandy that doesn’t upset the ears.

Abi sure had a sour face at the last TC.

Denise was a worthy winner.
