I want it to be clear that I wasn't surprised to see Ozzy go. Ozzy was surprised to see Ozzy go. He had no freakin' clue, and it was wonderful.

I've never been a big Cerie fan, but I will admit she is one of the most masterful players in the history of the game.

I suppose in terms of how clueless that target was in comparison to how obvious it was that they should have seen it coming, I suppose yeah it's the biggest ever. But I still say, in terms of brilliant orchestration, this had nothing on the fist one. All Cirie had to do was say, "Okay, now?" No brainer. The first one was a bloody brilliant bit of strategy, this one was just being successfully opportunistic.


I hated Cirie to start, when she was afraid of leaves. But she sucked it up and learned to kick ass, so she won me over.

James is staying surprisingly under the radar this season. Not trying to dominate every challenge, just sort of floating along. If he can do that for another couple of episodes, then kick things into high gear, he just may be able to have an Immunity challenge winning streak and keep himself safe.

Eliza is a clown. :rolleyes: having to see her react like a cartoon character nearly ruined the moment.

Cerie rules, though the whole tribe gets a ding for lying to Jason about guarantees. Jerks. Not to say he isn't the most gullible survivor - twice over.

I've tried to give Jason a break....but man, he is just stupid. Ozzie is guilty of trusting his alliance - not stupid, just bitter. For Jason to do the same thing two or three days later? Wow.....just stupid.

And, uh, Ozzie.....get over it already. You got outplayed and were lied to, the same as you've lied to others (including your gaurantee to Jason).

Did anyone else see the blur masking Ozzy's finger when he came in to sit and flipped them all off?

I thought it was interesting that Natalie didn't vote for Jason...

As for his not playing the idol, I would have thought he would have played it once everyone started staring at him. That was a dead giveaway that he was out.

Why? Everybody knows you're the only one who could have it. So wouldn't it be pretty logical that when the question is asked if anybody is going to use it that they'd look at you?

Not that not playing it really makes any sense regardless.

I'm surprised that nobody commented on this week's episode. I just got finished watching it and thought it was one of the better ones this season.

- Really sad that James was taken out of the game, although I suspect his days were numbered anyway.

- I REALLY don't like Natalie. Having said that, who wouldn't want to go up against her at the end of the game?

- Finally, someone uses the hidden immunity idol. I loved some of those facial expressions.

- At this point, the only person I would really like to see win is Cerie.

Or not.

Cerie is certainly the puppet master.

I like the remaining guy enough (Eric?) and I'm looking forword to how the next episode plays out. Amanda and Parvati are going to pair up, and Cerie and Natalia are going to pair up, and they will be battling for Eric as the swing vote.
