Okay, by keeping Jonathan around, Yul just made the most stupidest move -- evah! I guess he is really sprung on Jenny, because he did mentioned that they would still have numbers, if they got rid of Jon.

I disagree. It would have been insanely stupid to get complacent with their numbers and turn around and backstab Jonathan. It's always better to stick with your plan (as he and Becky did) rather than keep flip flopping around...that's where things start to fall apart.

Say the Raro's keep winning immunity or manage to get one of the other Aitu's to flip?

Jynni is absolutely correct. Yul and the other Aitu's made a very smart move in this game. First of all, anyone who thinks the Raros were going to honor their promise to vote for Yul if he makes it to the final two as long as he voted off Jonathan at the last TC is kidding themselves. They only made that so-called "promise" to get Aitu's numbers down and then pounce if they can - which I don't blame them, that IS how you play the game.

Yul played it much smarter. Right now, Jonathan's still an ally. He's not the most desirable guy to have around right now, but who cares? He gives Aitu their numbers - you don't just toss that away because the guy's being a little bit of a jerk. Do you really think it's smart to lessen your odds of winning a million dollars just because the guy belched at camp and bragged about how he got to eat?

Yul and the other Aitus are some of the best and smartest players I've ever seen on this show. They're totally smart to keep Jonathan. Because look what happened - Yul stuck to his guns, and now it's Aitu vs. Raro, 5 to 2. Even if Adumb or Parvati wins the next immunity challenge, it's bye bye to the other left-over Raro. Like it or not, there's going to be a single Raro all alone after the next TC - and they won't last long. Even if Becky does decide to turn against Yul and take him out, it more than likely won't be before Adam and Parvati (and possibly Jonathan) are gone.

Plus, Yul knows what he's doing - if he can keep Becky from tossing him out on his ear, and he DOES go to the final two, he has no better final two partner than Jonathan. Jonathan is extremely disliked - any Aitu up against Jonathan in the final two will very likely get the million.

Assuming it's a final two, and not a final three.

Apparently, Poverty was convinced Adumb had the hidden immunity idol, because he implied that he did. I don't remember him going to Exile Island, but I guess he did once. That's why she was so convinced that Yul did not. So, Adam lied too! And yet, the Raros don't get all holier-than-thou about THAT.

I just LOVE that that Aitu finally did what I wish people had done on many previous seasons: not feed the lazy ones who lie around all day with their clique and then expect to be fed. Kudos!

I am wondering when Becky is going to turn on Yul. Her face when he said something about who would vote for him instead of whomever he was up against in the final two was telling, I think. I don't think she's in his final two plans. It's all well and good to partner with him, and it's worked for her so far, but eventually she's going to have to think for herself.

I have nothing to add except that I totally agree with the last 2 posts.

Becky has discovered she's not in the final plans. Jonathan has discovered he's perfect for the final 2 against anyone, not to win, but at least get $100, 000.

I've missed the last two episodes because of family things, but I would be very, very happy if we got a break until September of next year. I'm just a little burned out.

Poverty? Tee hee!

On another site, her nickname is Poverteeth.

I just wish that either Jeff or one of the non-lazy contestants had called them out on it. A simple question -- "Why should we feed you?" or "What have you done around camp?" Those idiots would not have been able to answer and it would have made for great TV.

And even better - did you know that her actual last name is Shallow? And that's for real, too! Oh, that's rich! I can't think of a more fitting last name! The only thing that could make it better would be if her middle name was "Idiot"!

Omg, Ozzie. Why did I not tune into Survivor until tonight? So dolphin-like, so swift, with all that curly hair.

You didn't watch? Oh, honey... he was glorious!

[indygirl]

He was fantastic!

I did like Jonathan's TC speech. He rightly reminded everyone that he wasn't the only one who voted out the people already on the jury.

Nate is a douchebag.

So is Adam.
