Now that everyone has seen it - wow, I can’t believe both of them just wimped out. Stupid, stupid. Ten days to a chance at a million. Not that either would win, but every day they stay is that much more money they get and each day they get a larger amount. I thought Ghetto would change her mind and stay but after that snarky act of selfishness, I’d have voted her rear out so fast that Jeff wouldn’t need to “snuff” her torch. Holly gained herself a couple more days with the rice so good for her. She’s starting to move over to my like list. How Holly couldn’t see through Ghetto is unbelievable but perhaps their perspectives are different in the moment. You know if Ghetto had been able to find a way to the voting booth, she’d have voted for Obama and is still waiting for him to pay her rent and give her a new car - gimme, gimme.

Notice that Holly said Jane would have given up movie night to give others rice, too. I wonder if Dan was allowed to sacrifice or not. He should have stepped up since he didn’t participate in the challenge. Does anyone else find it strange they have been having so many challenges this season where someone sits out. In the past, they’ve tried to do team challenges when there were even numbered people but not this year.

It seemed like Jeff wanted to give Kelly every last chance to stay but she just couldn’t see it. Again, stupid, stupid. If you don’t have the fortitude to stick it out, you shouldn’t have taken a spot someone else would have appreciated more. In seasons past, they would have asked to be voted out but these two were just plain quitters. Can we assume no one will be voted out next week to make up for Kelly’s departure?

Does Jane have an ounce of fat left to lose? She’s looking worse every day.

Did y’all see that look of determination and go for the win in Fabio’s eyes? Showing that is basically like putting a star above his head like Mark did in Africia for whats his face.

When you think that those sitting on the jury came to play the game, it has to really “P” them off that these two jerks just up and quit the game. I imagine they’ll be getting a chilly reception at Ponderosa - in fact, I’d boot them from the jury altogether.

Burnett needs to change his contract with these people - if you quit the show, all monies you have “earned” from the show are forfeit.

And I wish Ghetto luck. Her snotty and mean comments about a woman with an artificial limb should pretty much seal her fate with her job back home. As I recall, a creep on Big Brother made fun of the mentally disabled and was fired from his job working with autistic children when he was finished with the show.

It's doubtful. SeeBS has already announced the final episode will air on the 19th.
So....
If we assume a final three (with a 9 member Jury) and the last two players get their torches snuffed on the 19th, then one player will need to get their torch snuffed on the 8th and another on the 15th.
Assuming no one else quits that is! And if that happens, then this show is toast!

From Jeff Probst's blog:

I know a lot of you are angry right now because Naonka and Purple Kelly are allowed to be on the jury, so let me explain.

The reason they will both be members of the jury is because a precedent had already been set back when Janu quit in Survivor: Palau. Janu quit the game but was allowed to be on the jury, so we used the same reasoning with Naonka and Purple Kelly. It wasn’t an emotional decision, just an issue of fairness.

Typically, this challenge would be three teams of three, but I think when the ‘dream team’ tested out the challenge, they found the dummies to be too heavy to reasonably get it over the first obstacle with just three people, and decided a 4th would have to happen. From there it was probably a quick decision to put up a chair for Dan to sit in for that momentary but priceless shot of a big man in a much bigger chair.

I don't think the previous challenge’s effectiveness of sitting one out (and oddly rooting for the girls) played much of a part in the decision, as they had set this one up as a schoolyard pickem (so of course, the assumption would be that Dan would be sitting it out.)
