Surprised to see Josh go! I thought for sure he'd be dragged to the end by everyone else for easy competition. As of now, the only hands-down-no-way-can-this-person-win player left is Stephanie. And apparently she's on the outs too. So if we get a final four of Payne, Allan, Ashley, and Lorii, it should be pretty competitive. I think Payne and Allan would be frontrunners to win at that point, with Lorii and Ashley bringing up the rear. I like Lorii, and she's survived a lottt of votes, but she's also kinda camouflaging herself a little bit too much. I think jurors could look on that as being a little too UTR and coattail-riderish. Ashley's played a solid game and came out of nowhere during those first few pathetic days...but nothing really overly stands out about her to me. I'd be surprised if she won. Course there's still a little bit of game left to be played, with moves to still make. And with one final note, hooray for pissed off jury members! Let's hope Piper and Josh bring the bitterness come Day 39.

Damn! I can't believe it. Well, that just goes to show you just how many people are playing the game emotionally instead of strategically. Allan, (why did he play the idol? is he that far out of the loop and didn't know there was no way he was going?) Ashley, and Lorii made the wrong move. Oh well, just another step in Payne's journey towards victory.
On the other hand, yay for Josh being able to make All-Stars!!! LOL, totally jk.

LMAO @ Allan playing the idol for no damn reason. This episode he could have either hopefully won Immunity and like.. given his idol to Ashley (What Richard should have done in China to save Tom!) But now Allan is idol-less for no dang reason.

Allan better win the next immunity. You never know tho right? I was completely blindsighted in Cambodia. I thought 100% Kj was being voted out, then all of a sudden BOOM. My eyes were seriously as wide as a pair of eyeballs can get. Its really hard to tell online. It is almost impossible to tell if someone is telling the truth, because words are only 7% of communication.

Yeah, I'm also confused as to why Allan decided to play the idol. Idiot
I'm glad to see that the F5 has relatively interesting people left, but why are they so dumb? Congrats to you all for giving Andrew the win. I'm sure he'll appreciate it. Idiots

Dont see why Allan is an idiot for playing it. There is always a chance of being voted out

Banner updated. Bridget is one round away from correctly guessing THREE of the actual final four. Pretty good I'd say!
After this next round, I'll have the pleasure of assessing all of the bonus final four points. We already know Bridget's won our game (not even Tim can come back with his Ashley pick now...), but 2nd place is still very much up for grabs! (For me!)
Obviously, Allan playing the idol was moronic at this moment, but Taylor's right: it's just really hard to gauge people online sometimes. So ya can't really fault him too heavily.
Oh, and Sandy, let's please not even go there with the whole Richard-idol situation. I still can't believe NEITHER of us thought of that move! Oy.

I win! Yayness! Had to bring back the yayness, haven't said it in ages.
I wish I had something meaningful to say right now, as I'm in the word vomit mode. Alas, I have nothing. ZZZZZZZZ I'm boring.

Interesting to see that Lorii thinks she's fucked, when I think she's in the best position. She doesn't have a large target on her, she's likeable, but she's still the best candidate to take to the final 2 from the alliance. Go Lorii

She doesn't have a large target on her, she's likeable, but she's still the best candidate to take to the final 2 from the alliance. Go Lorii Holy drunken-ness. It's funny we're talking about her right now cuz i kinda feel like her at the moment, if that makes any sense at all. I see it as Lorii screwed herself by voting for Josh. If she voted with Stephanie and Josh, Payne would be in the jury right now, even if it were a tie. That would leave (from the challenge survey) the two EASIEST people to beat in the finals. Instead, Josh is in the jury and Lorii is left with Ashley, Payne, and Allan as an alliance, all of which would kick her ass in the finals. I don't care what case she would bring at the final council, I personally would vote for any of the other three over her. The thing about that is, a good chunck of the jury is Bottom Feeders with Alicia, Earl, and Kyle. If Lorii were to make the finals they could respect her for making it there, or they could be bitter about her turning on her tribe at the merge. Also, Piper and Alicia want a guy to win the game according to their posts in the jury area (or the castoff area). Right now I see the final three being Allan, Ashley, and Lorii. If Andrew Payne doesn't win Immunity at Final Four, he's done for. Stephanie is gone next if she doesn't win Immunity, unless Payne doesn't win as well..then it could be a toss up. But right now, Ashley, Allan, and Lorii are in the best position of making the finals..with Allan and Ashley to win the game (imo of course).

Well Allan did play the idol because it was his last chance before it expired.
Love how I forgot the rules to my own idol. I had to snoop back into Allan's confessional to refresh my memory lol.

ok, random question, why is there a crying kid in the banner? lolol, I don't get it I love that crying kid! Random stuff is great. The idol had to be used by the final 6? Where'd you come up with that number Sandy? And yeah, Lorii made a HUGE mistake not voting Payne last time. It wouldn't be necessarily impossible for her to beat him in the finals, but it certainly would have been MUCH easier for her to beat Josh & Stephanie. Payne and Allan are in the drivers' seats right now as far as jury votes go. I'd love to see the other three take them out, but somehow I don't see that happening.

I don't see it happening either Tom. Ashley wants to take Allan to the end because of their friendship. Does she honestly think she could beat him? Pshh! Because of this Ashley, Allan, and Payne or Ashley, Allan, and Lorii will be the final three. Allan or Payne will win.
Oh, and since we had another final three this season like in China, I didn't want the person with the idol to have that much power for so long.
If we had a final two, holding the idol until the final five I thought was fine. Since there's a final three, I decided the idol should expire at final six, so the idol winner would have to play idol-less for at least two rounds before the finals.
And I guess also to switch things up a bit from the China idol, yanno?

I knew Payne would comment on Stephanie's complaint about her negative karma. Ha.
