I liked Cerie on her first season. I can't stand Jonathon, never did like him. I was pleased with Cerie for not backing down from his bullying. I would have preferred seeing him go over Yau, but Yau got on my nerves a bit too. for a smart man he is a bit too gullible.

I swear, every time that guy says something, I am disappointed he doesn't talk like the Hulk. "Hulk smash! Win challenge! Stir up trouble at tribal council!!!"

Eliza, Pavarti, Amanda and Cirie all voted Yao-Man.

Man wise, That leaves us with

Jonathan, Ozzie and James

I think we just saw the first move of a Woman's allience. With Pavarti and Amanda playing Ozzie and James.

I thought Eliza voted for Pavarti and Ami voted for Yau.

I will not swear to that, I have trouble seeing the names they are holding up during the credits.

Aliza did vote for Pavarti. Ami voted for Cerie. The couples voted for Yao and Cerie voted for Yao. Johnathan and Yao voted for Pavarti. So it was 5-3-1.

ETA: wait, on second thought, I'm assuming Eliza voted Pavarti, I didn't watch end credits to confirm. Hmmm...

Go back and check if you like. I'll wait....

Already deleted from the TiVo, and I'm not going to sit through it online. I'll take Wikipedia's word on it. Eliza did indeed vote for Yao. Guess she saw that Johnathan's alliance was a sinking ship and jumped.

And damnit, it's Parvati, not Pavarti. And her last name is "Shallow". Really.

However you spell it, she pronounces it so wierd it makes me cringe whenever I hear it.

I went to the CBS website. Somewhere there is a very interesting interview of Yau. All I read were recaps (still only computing at work). The Favs draw stones to see who is going to Exile. That was how Cirie knew that Yau was next. Ami voted for Cirie and told her "alliance" that before the vote. She knew that Cirie had seen at least 3 of the 4 clues and thinks that Cirie has the idol.

CP disagrees with me, but I cry foul on bringing back that insane contraption for the immunity challenge. There were 2 people on the favorites team that had done it before, that's a massively unfair advantage, imo. It was one small step below having them do a puzzle that 2 people already knew the answer to. And it showed as the favorites tore through that part of the challenge while the fans barely made any progress at all.

Other than that, I also hated the episode because the fans listened to Tracy. Which means Tracy will feel justified in her arguments. Which means she'll talk more. And she annoys the snot out of me.
