The biggest question I had with the episode was why didn't Eliza tell Cirie the boot order that the other 4 said (Yau Man, Jonathan, then Cirie). It seems to me if she would have told her this then Cirie might have went along with them and not the lovers quartet. Eliza says to Jonathan, I hope she doesn't fall for their lies. Well Eliza (aka the idiot), maybe you should have said something. Of course Jonathan's arguing won't get him any favors from Cirie either.

At least the good news is that there is no way Cirie can win this. She reminded me of how much I hated her from her previous stint on the show. I look forward to seeing her get the boot.

Personally sort of wondering why Cirie wanted Yau-Man out so badly, especially at this point in the game.

And also surprised that Ozzy stood up for Yau-Man (or at least was adamant about voting for Eliza).

So, now:

• on terms of merit of personality/kindness, picking Kathy to win.
• on terms of merit of skill, picking Joel or Mickey B. (which stinks since they're both jerks).

I know, but you know what? When Cirie was going around mixing things up, I was thinking that Jonathan should have flipped on her. Neither alliance was happy with her, she's not a killer camp or challenge person, and wouldn't be missed. He should have gotten the rest of his alliance to vote her out, and I believe Ozzy would have gone along with it.

It would have left the two "alliances" at status quo with each having 4 members, and Jonathan's alliance would have lived to play another day. Now, however, he and his alliance are in bad shape. They'll need to start winning IM challenges and hope he can last to the merge to reform a stronger alliance.

As it is, unless Ozzy and James wake up, Amanda and Parvati have the upper hand and will control the Fav's destiny until the merge (unless Jonathan's alliance can convince James and Ozzy that they are being played)...

All in all, a good episode (hated seeing Yau-man gone), and a good season, so far...

Amazon Ami seemed to be the only one on that vibe. Remember way back when wen there was a deaf girl on Survivor? She was in the same "swing vote" position, but couldn't decide with whom to align so they all decided to get rid of her. That's what should have happened last night.

And i liked the "playing football in the water with sacks of barley" game.

Needed more pixellation, though. ;-)
