Obligatory Survivor post (spoilers inside)

[skippysmom]

I was sad to see Shii Ann go. She's a smart cookie, and I love how she called everyone out at Tribal Council.

If Rupert doesn't win, I'm going to be really disappointed. Jenna's annoying, Tom is an ignorant fool, and Rob and Amber...:puke:

(yes, I know, reality TV is a sign of the apocalypse...)

1. I doubt Rupert will win

I think Rupert, Jenna and Tom came on the show to make sure Ambah wins a million dollars. On the next episode, if they don't get together to vote Rob or Ambah off the show they are stupid.

2. Rupert's............

goose looks like it's cooked. Next week's teaser showed Boston Rob listening in on Rupert's conversation.
Let's face it, if they don't get Boston Rob out this week the whole thing comes down to he and Amber. Amber has no business being there now, she does nothing, wins nothing, and if she wasn't stringing Rob along she would have been long gone.
Rupert has to convince Tom to get Rob off the Island. It's his only chance. Tom, I believe, is too stupid to realize that his alliance with Rob and Amber is going to take him nowhere. Sure, he'll make it to the final three, but has NO chance of winning. Rupert has to convince him that this is his LAST chance of having any hope of winning. I doubt that he'll be able to convince him. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed and he'll stick with his alliance to Rob and Amber. Too bad, I wanted to see Rupert win as well, but I fear his goose is now cooked and is the next to be voted off, barring immunity.

3. I think Jenna is next

Oh Boston Rob wants Rupert out, but Rupert does bring in the food. Jenna is just annoying, and no one cares if she goes.
Jenna, Rupert then Big Tom.
Just my guess.

4. I think so too, unless

Rupert can get rid of amber of Rob.

6. I think Jenna's next too

But anything can happen in the final four with immunities and such.

Just PLEASE don't let Boston Rob win. It would make this season even worse than Thailand.

5. They totally ignored Shii Ann until last week...

And then made her out as a total bitch. I didn't like her the first time, and I didn't like her this time.

I wouldn't mind seeing Jenna go next, though. They made her seem like a real bitch last night.

(To anyone offended by my use of the term "bitch", please continue to read. It's not a sexist thing.)

Tom is a moron, but he seems to be a genuinely good guy. He will not win, though.

Rupert is a bit smarter than Tom, but he's also making a few poor decisions (like bitching about the fish).

Rob is the asshole of the group, but he's playing a very good game. His biggest problem right now is that, should he go against Amber in the finals, she'll get all of the votes. (Caveat: Kathy MAY vote for Rob, but I think that would be it.)

Amber has played a masterful game, and has also been very lucky. Unless something totally unexpected happens, she'll be the winner.


Predictions: (Note that immunity could, of course, change this a bit.)
5th - Jenna - Everyone at camp is tired of her, and Rob and Amber will want to split up the Rupert/Jenna alliance
4th - Tom - Rob does not trust Tom at all, and will want to get him out (Tom and Rupert are pretty much interchangeable at this point.)
3rd - Rupert - If Rupert does not win the last immunity, he's gone.
2nd - Rob - He's pissed off too many people on the jury. Lex and Alicia both hold him directly responsible for their ouster. When it comes time, Jenna and Tom will, too. Shii Ann and Rupert are toss-ups, but both will likely go with Amber to win. Kathy faults Amber for her being booted, so she may vote for Rob. 1 vote won't cut it, though.

Winner - Amber - She's had Rob in her pocket the whole game, and she's let him take the flak for everything. Best job of being in control while simultaneously flying under the radar in Survivor history.

7. You may

have the "script" right there.

[MaineDem]

9. I would get rid of Amber next

Up against her in the finals, everyone else would probably lose.

Or, on the other hand, the jury may not vote for her because she slid by without exerting much effort.

Or, on the other hand (third hand??) the producers aren't showing us a fair picture and Amber has been stategizing left and right.

I just know I'll be really disappointed and I will swear to never watch it again if Rob wins. I don't enjoy watching him at all!

8. Haven't liked this season at all, but..

Rupert may the most popular survivor ever - that gives him a good chance IMO, especially since he didn't get it last time.
