I'm rooting for Cerie too. Although I heard they had to stop betting (offshore) on the series because of lopsided voting for one person in particular:

OK....I'm thinking that you can't give away the idol. Only the person who has it when you walk into tribal can use it. You see, if I'm Terry, I put the flippin' thing in a bag right between myself and Danielle and whichever one of us needs it grabs it out of the bag. Guess that's not allowed.

I gained a bit more respect for Aras tonight in that he admitted his ego was bruised by Terry always winning. I have less respect for Terry for whining about the rules (grow up, dude) and getting mad at Cerie for putting her torch on the ground and it happened to be in his way. (grow up, dude)

I do feel a bit ripped off! I can't believe they didn't show the results of the burnoff.

I guess I come from a different place in interpreting Terry's reaction at the challenge. I don't think he's a whiner. I think Aras was being a total asshole.

Oh...I agree about Aras being an asshole and I have always thought that. That's why I felt behooved to mention that I gained a bit of respect for him. But Terry has to trust that they'll catch anyone breaking the rules. I thought that was a bit ridiculous.

Terry continues to be an idiot...Aras equaled his idiocy in the challenge. And good god, he instantly treated Cirie like a child. What a dick.

In the prewiews for Sunday they showed a challenge. There were 3 people in the shot. I am hoping it was a previous challenge that I missed, otherwise it is a total buzzkill.

I fully expected Cirie to be gone tonight. I honesty think she still has a slim chance to pull this off and she is the one I would most like to see win. She might not have been good at challenges but that isn't really the game, it is to survive. I wrote her off after the first or second episode and she has really earned my respect. She's a smart lady and she has come a long way in this game from being afraid of leaves to starting a fire and catching a fish and being very subtle about her strategy.

She is the only one I care to see win, much more than the two pricks or the parasite.

I don't think they would give it away that easy. I think it was just a little more of that misdirection they are famous for.

I hope so. I loved Tribal. When Cirie spoke everyone was smiling and nodding. When Danielle spoke everyone was rolling their eyes and making faces.

The footage they used showed Aras and Terry in the final challenge, but the clips with the women were from previous episodes.

I wonder if they tailor the challenges to the overall fitness of the group? This season the later challenges seem to be more physical than in some seasons where it seemed like people were pretty wasted by the end of it.
