I hope Tom isn't mad I made this but I wanted to post something and No one was around.. Its super sad about Andi but can I tell you that I FREAKING LOVE LOVE LOVE Alan... (and I don't know if that is how you spell his name, but he is just amazing!)
He always has this sideways plan and he is funnier than shit! He is my favorite right now. Of course Alicia is a close second because how can you ever not love Alicia. Well maybe they are tied for first. They are both wonderful! They should team up so they both last long and just because she is in my final four pics Lori needs to stay around too! Okay then!
I love this game when it gets fun!

I am furious with you, Kenyon, for starting this without me. How. Dare. You.
Just kidding. Sorry I wasn't on the ball to post my colorful pictures when Andi was wrongfully snuffed last night.
Just as many of the players are pissed about the past round of the game (Artist, anyone?), I too have sour feelings. Firstly, I'm definitely not a fan of tribes getting to control opposing tribes by taking out their strongest members, and secondly, I'm definitely not a fan of already-booted players coming back into the game. I can completely relate to how many of the players are feeling, because honestly I'd be a little ticked too. Whether or not these two twists were "fair" can certainly be the theme of Episode 7's blog.
I dunno, I kinda feel like there have been too many twists in this game. Something apart from the norm has basically happened every single round, and it just seems kinda hectic to me. Hopefully all these twists will die out really soon and we can just watch these guys play the game, straightforwardly and simply.
In lighter news, Bridget is frikin amazing. She must have been able to peer into some kind of crystal ball or something, as she STILL has all four members of her final four intact.
And then there's Sandy...who will remain at 12 points for a longggg time...

Well here's my shtick,
The first eliminated player was set to come back after round six's tribal council. It's been in the Hawaii Timeline for eons. However, Stephanie coming back was all up to a decision made by the Humuhumu tribe. Had they not taken the obvious choice, and just let the Supreme Team vote regularly everything would be different. Instead, the Humuhumu tribe sealed the next few courses of the game by their decision. If the Humuhumu tribe said 'No,' and let Nene vote like it should have been, I'm sure Piper would have been voted out, and Stephanie would have gotten her hopes up for no reason.
But, it ended up the way it did - for a reason. We'll see how it plays out.
Also in response to Tom and the twists - I am upset too, understandably. My twists always seem to backfire in my face. Whatever. However, compared to last season and the Cambodian kidnapping twist, I think this season is a lot less crazy in that respect.
The twists will continue, but none as brutal as the last one. Well, hmm I guess it's all a matter of opinion.
Artist can be pissed all he wants. At least something else but BORING is coming out of his mouth. Now if only he could put together a cohesive sentence.
And also, I think things could have ended up a whole lot worse. We lost Andi, I love her, she was fun, but we could have lost Payne, Allan, or even Ashley - all of which if voted out, I would have disappeared for days to recuperate.
Andi being voted out isn't all that damaging to the game. Yeah, she was screwed, but everyone in the game will get screwed at one point or another. It was a twist, someone was screwed, we press forward.
This round will be more mellow, before people start popping blood vessels or sumthin'.

Immunity #7 is tonight.
It looks like the Nene tribe doesn't trust Piper to participate in the next challenge. Smart move considering she basically threw the last challenge for her tribe. I think it was Allan or Payne who said Piper threw it because she thought Humuhumu would Exile her. If that's true, Piper should read directions carefully because losers had nothing to do with the Exile decision.
If Nene loses the challenge either Heather or Piper will go, obviously. This is good for Stephanie I guess, it gives her a fair shot at getting back into the swing of things.
Allan, Payne, Ashley, and Josh now hold the Power on Nene - I like that foursome.
I do not like the Humuhumu tribe all that much. Aside from Alicia, everyone else is pretty low on my likability scale. Alicia needs to pick it up in the challenges if she wants her tribe to get anywhere. I mean, shes the smartest one on the tribe so she needs to step up her game in the challenges - if not Humuhumu will just continue to lose.
Matthew is cool and all, but he's fading for me.
Lorii is another person on the Humuhumu tribe that I enjoy. She's growing on me. She has been setting herself up to go far in the game and I hope this will continue.
Kyle is lame and boring. I think he's worse this season than he was last season. I can only image if he made it further in Cambodia. As of right now I think Kyle needs to go. Monique was right in voting him out earlier - too bad.
Earl and his one sentence confessionals can eat me. He seems to be on thin ice on his tribe as well, along with Artist. However, Artist did pull out a win last challenge and impressed a few tribe mates. I wouldn't lose sleep if Earl was sent home.

well, I may suck at surv1vor, but I sure rock at predicting "BridgeMarieRuss: Ummm, I would take out Christina or Travis, just because I think that if no one stops them, one of them will be the winner . Host Sandy: As you answered my next question, anyone you can see winning the game right now? lol BridgeMarieRuss: People, watch out for those 2! I'm pretty much psychic ;P "

Get ready for a long one
amazingly, I actually agree completely with Tom for once. I too am very, very disappointed in the "other tribe votes off a member of the losing tribe". With all due respect Sandy, I think for anyone to think that Humuhumu was gonna vote out a useless player is a bit naive. Yes, David got voted out in China, but that's the VERY rare exception, not the rule. It screwed Joe, (who I'm not sure how he did in China, but he is normally a solid player). You could argue that Sammy and Jon got screwed by the exact same twist with a different name in Egypt, (Pharoah's vs. Slaves). and now Andi is done. Granted, she was starting to suck a little lately, but I think this was overall a twist that just really shouldn't be used.
That being said, I do understand why you are doing a lot of twists Sandy, it keeps things interesting. However, I again agree with Tom that it's just been too many twists in one season, (ala the real Survivor Fiji, which was also severly overloaded with twists).
I gotta be honest with you though, this is probably the most confusing season we've ever had. We've cast 21 people, (2 of which were removed, you could agrue that Heather should have been as well). We had the Ghost twist, which was very original and cool, not to mention give us Alicia version 2.0. (unfortunently, it also gave us Kyle version 2.0 as well). We've had Exile Island, awesome. Heck, I'm even cool with the Warrior Trade Twist, as that's a very clever way of making a banishment twist.
Here's my problem though overall with this season. There are just too many things going on. Ghost Tribe, Exile Island, Warrior Trade, two, TWO people getting a second chance, (unheard of in Surv1vor), Winning tribe getting to wipe out someone from the losing tribe, tribal swap, it's just a bit much.
I will say that now that I understand that Stephanie, (or whoever didn't get on a tribe) was supposed to have a shot at coming back from the start makes the twist a lot better for me and I'm officially supporting that decision. However, I still think Monique should NEVER had gotten a second chance. I'm sorry, but Fu Mal didn't get a new tribemate when Joshua quit in China, why should the crappy ass Humuhumu tribe get compensation for Kodie being such a loser?
Alright, I'm done, like I said, I totally appreciate your efforts Sandy, it's definently the most unpredictable season we've had to say the least, lol.

Ok here's the thing about the twist...
The entire game has been preplanned in a timeline Joel and I created. Now that we know the cast, the tribes, the dynamics, we know the twist was a horrible idea. Yes the twist fucked over the game and my poor Andi got screwed.
She and I have since spoken and now that I know she doesn't hate me, I can smile about everything. It's definitely a twist I don't ever plan on using again, but alas when making the timeline it seemed like a good idea.
In China Joe was on okay player. He was more on the boring side, at least from his confessionals he was. Only thing good about him was he was frustrated being on the baffoon tribe with a lot of youngins. Yeah he too got screwed, but I liked how it played out in China. I guess it's a reason I attempted it again. Now its a no go in the future.
Sorry to all of you who are were disappointed in it. I guess ya can't hit the mark everytime, huh?
Anywhos, enough about that. Shit happens.
I guess I'll start up with another analysis...
Humuhumu:
From past confessionals I say Earl or Artist are on the chopping block. I'd say Artist before Earl though, simply because Earl was on the original Nu'uanu tribe.
Matthew is still random. When the merge hits, I say he's one of the first targets
Kyle is getting better I think. He was smart in wanting to get rid of Ashley, too bad his voice wasn't heard. Actually I'm glad because I do like Ashley.
Lorii is safe and was a monster in the challenge until she fudged up.
Alicia is still #1 on Nene, I don't think that's going to change much at all.
Nene:
With Stephanie in the game a various sort of scenarios could occur. Right now it seems as if she's replaced Andi in the Allan/Ashley/Payne/Andi alliance. She has jumped above Piper, Josh, and Heather in the pecking order very quicky, go her.
Piper is just there. At this point she's a dead girl walking in Hawaii, unless something crazy happens or gets sent to Exile. If she gets voted out before Heather - seriously going to bust out a sling shot and mess everyone up.
If Heather makes the merge shes gonna win, lmao. Anyways, Heather has sorta crawled out from her weird galaxy but still hasn't really done jack squat.
Ashley and Allan seem to be the duo to beat. It would be awesome if Payne were the one to take the down. I hope he pulls a stunt like that if all of them make the merge. Either that or he'll ride them to the end or somthing lame like that, all while continuing to post random confessionals.
Not that I should be making anymore predictions this season, I'm going to predict the final 10 players.
Ashley Allan Payne Stephanie Josh Heather Alicia Lorii Matthew Kyle
