Hairy, she's in the minority, and she's been singled out as the biggest threat of the remaining Zhan Hu tribe members. The rankings are based off
their logical positions in the game. I had her ranked high last week because she was playing smart and it looked like Fei Long would collapse, yet they
didn't this week. The teaser for next week could mean anything, for all we know.

HB, PG IS on the bootlist. first of all they all realize that she's the devious strategist of ZH. The onyl reason why she didn't go on the first TC was
because FL wanted to break up Erik/Jaime. Also I think the FL alliance will think of PG as a bigger threat than Erik, who's been proven to be a bit dull
and left out of the larger scheme of things. PG is defintely at the bottom so far...
James IS in danger, but I don't really see Denise/JR voting against James. However, I agree, I think James would figure out a blindside through JR/Denise and use the idol on Todd before he went home. Other notes coming soon. |

I think people on the Fei Long Tribe are suffering form Rob M. ASS2 syndrome; meaning they all think they're going to the final 3 with Todd.
No one thinks that they're 5th or 6th. Personally I think Frosti, James, Denise and JR are all crazy because they all seem to think that they're going to the final 3 with todd. The only person that I think is being wary enough is Courtney. I actually think her caution towards Todd and her perception that he's not genuinely friends with her may actually save her. |

What's even more ironic is the fact that Courtney most likely IS going to the final 3 with Todd. What I want to know is, Todd and Amanda are both fans of the game, and both of them are smart players, so why haven't either of them tried to take out the other one yet? |

My bet is that not only do they both view Courtney as a goat, but that they each probably think they can beat the other. On one hand, Todd probably thinks that
if he's in the F3 with Amanda that people will think she's riding his coattails and he'll get the majority of the votes that way. However, on the
other hand, my guess would be that Amanda thinks Todd will take all of the flak for voting people off and that they'll vote for her instead of him as a
result. Since there's still a good few episodes and TCs until the final vote, it's not entirely unreasonable to think that the jury could think either
of those things. It's also not unreasonable to think that something entirely different could happen either.

The more the show goes on the more I think that Todd and Amanda won't be going to the final 3 together. I think the rest of the players will wisen up
eventually and vote at least one of them off. My money is on Todd in the Jury and Amanda in the finals, but who knows. I wouldn't be surprised if neither
of them made the finals, honestly.

I ALSO wouldn't be surprised if Amanda and Todd were taken out, leaving Denise, Courtney, and posssibly Frosti as the f3. They seem to be all of
Todd/Amanda's F3 partners. I think someone (Courtney) is gonna wise up and make a power move.
Todd will not backstabb Amanda. He knows that's suicide. IF anything, I could see Amanda backstabbing him before. |

Here's what Jaime is saying about what the players are told about when to play the idol. I think the only person still out there who has ever seen a clue
is Todd. So all anyone else knows about when to play the idol is what Todd tells them. Does Todd always tell the truth?
IGN TV: Did you know you were making the announcement at the proper time, even? Some seasons I think you were supposed to announce you had the idol before a vote, some after. |

If the contestants watched Fiji they'd know when to play them.
Jean-Robert hadn't bothered to watch ANY Survivor prior to going out there, hence his reaction to the fake Idol. He had no idea one COULD exist. |

My ratings for the week. Let's discuss strategy before the episode!
1. Amanda has options right now. She's in a multitude of F3s similar to the multitude of F2 deals Brian had. Todd/Amanda/Frosti, Todd/Amanda/Denise, Todd/Amanda/Courtney... the key will be controlling all three of those players in order to gain a clear majority. There's simply just too many big fish to fry for Amanda to be booted ANY time soon. There's stragglers: Erik/PG (one of them could become a power player later on down the game if left unattended); there's IC threats: James/JR; there's strategic threats: Todd/PG; and there's scapegoats: Courtney/Jean-Robert. Amanda is on no one's bootlist as of right now. She should just follow every else's lead and ty not to be out there. Her next victim should be PG. 2. Denise is just blah. She's probably just tagging along and riding coattails like she said she would do. I don't see her making the finals, because she's extremely expendable and very likeable. For now, she should realize that she needs James around, because he'd be stupid enough to bring her to the finals, or a least make sure she gets there over someone like Todd/Amanda. Pagonging the ZH and keeping Fei-Long as F6 is the best way to achieve this. However, she should beware of taking JR out at F6, because she would naturally bump up on T/A's bootlist. Vote PG. 3. Courtney doesn't have to do anything to get to the end, because she's simply THAT useless. However, power also comes with her Katie-like position. She is the only one that can really pull off any power moves. We know that she's tight with Frosti. If only she told him that's she's number 3 with Todd/Amanda, not him, she could get him, PG, and Erik into a 4-person alliance. Depending on how evil Todd is being or how annoying JR is, she could swing one more person along to vote out either of them. It's risky, but what would Todd do? Target the useless goat? I don't think so. Like Danni said in her season, the longer you stick around the more trouble you can cause. I think this will also be the case with Courtney. Vote JR/Todd. 4. James is in a precarious situation. He needs to use one of those idols tonight. He knows Todd is a smart cookie, and has the ammo needed to take any one person out of the game. James has the votes of Denise and JR, but that's it. He needs two more. He should be wary of Todd, and wait for him to backstabb first, showing the entire tribe what a traitor he is. Then is the time to strike Todd. If James doesn't figure out that Todd is after him, then he would naturally go for ZH. Despite the fact that James could be in danger, he still has 2 idols and a great shot at using his weakness (idols+IC) as a strength. Vote PG. 5. Frosti is ahead of PG/Erik on the bootlist and he has a F3 deal with Amanda/Todd. Realistically, he has until the F6 to make a move, because T/A probably find him as their expendable pawn. With that said, he has a little bit of time to make a power move. If I were him, I wouldn try to make sure one of JR/James went home due to them being threats. There shouldn't be any excuse not to since Zh is down to 3 now. This vote will be crucial if Frosti wants to make it to F2 with an alliance of his own. Courtney+ZH should be his ideal 4 at this point. Vote JR/James 6. Todd is starting to show his true colors now. Before, everyone knew they couldn't trust him, but did so anyway. I think now people are going to start seeing him as a bigger threat more than a bigger ally. Todd is good enough to outsmart Fei-Long at the end. Pg and Erik are simply distractions. Vote PG. 7. JR is still an expendable goat to Fei-long. His only worth is his vote, but even that is beginning to diminish as an incentive to keep him around. He needs to not be delusional any more and realize that Todd is COMPLETELY untrustworthy as an ally. James is his only ally, and even he is extremely annoyed with JR on many occasions, but he's not stupid. James also knows that they are threats. If JR was smart enough to know James had the idols, they could stage a plot to take Todd out with the idol. Now that would be a perfect upset, AND it would leave Denise and James as the decision-makers which wouldn't be the worst thing for JR. However this is all in theory. It may be too early for this type of play, especially with ZH still semi-intact. Vote PG. 8. The only good thing about Erik's position is that PG is a bigger threat, and I think everyone sees him as a little dim like his departed in-game girlfriend, Jaime. He shouldn't really try to make any big plays since there's going to be people like Amanda/Todd doing them for him. Let them make the waves instead. If they ask for any suggestions, he should mark James and JR as big threats. Vote JR/James 9. PG is in a bad spot. JR has spotted her as a serious game threat, and I would agree that she's a bigger threat than Erik. PG needs to instill the sense that Todd, James, and JR are the bigger threats, not her and Erik. If she can grab Frosti/Courtney, then she genuinely has a shot, especially if JR's plans don't coordinate with Todd's. Vote JR/James So it's kidna weird, because it's still unpredictable, but if everyone makes the best possible move tonight, PG should be the one going home with 5 votes or more. |

Todd should still be number two in the rankings.
1) There's two outsiders ready to be gunned down (PG/Erik). They'll distract everyone through the F6. 2) There's too many clueless people willing to coast to the end, knowing full well that Amanda/Todd have them by the ropes. - Example #1: Denise. A completely useless follower and my prediction for 3rd place by the end of this. - Example #2: Frosti. The man is scared shitless. What with James and his idols, and knowing that he's always on precarious ground with Todd/Amanda having been a former member of the opposition. - Example #3: Courtney. Has admitted that her best friends there are Todd/Amanda and really doesn't care who goes as long as it isn't here. - Example #4: James. Has two idols that he can play. This means 5th place at worst or 4th if he can win an IC very soon. In other words, like Courtney, he really doesn't give a shit. The only thing James should remotely give a crap about is the final challenge and possibly having the three weakest people alongside him at that moment. Otherwise, he has (and knows he has) $1 Million if he can cross the finish line. As you can see, our buddy Todd, while not being the evil mastermind he thinks of himself, has stepped inside a group of scaredy cats that are willing to wait in line for the axe. Not that it hasn't happened before or in many seasons, but he's been positioned to make the finals since the merge. Worse, if James is in the F4, it guarantees Todd a trip to the F3 if the gravedigger can't come out of the challenge with the necklace. So... 1) Amanda - F3 without a doubt. Winner? 2) Todd - Explained. 3) Denise - F3 if they're (Amanda/Todd) thinking with their brains. Courtney has more friends on that jury. 4) James - F5 for certain, F4 if he can win an IC which is quite reasonable. 5) Courtney - F4 (F5 if James can win an immunity challenge). 6) Frosti - Could potentially win a challenge or two and knock out the people above him. Otherwise, he's gotta go because we all know what happens when a member of the opposing tribe makes the finals and the jury is stacked with their buddies. 7) Erik - Totally useless, but in the dark enough to create few worries. Probably should go after Frosti but he's guaranteed votes from Jaime/PG at the end of this. Frosti isn't although it's likely he would receive votes from those two and Erik. 8) PG - Next biggest schemer after JR that isn't Amanda/Todd. Time to wrap the mask around her neck! |

The alliance of Amanda, Todd, James, and Courtney made a potentially disastrous mistake last episode by not cluing Denise in on the how they were voting. Way
to go, just leave the lunch lady who wasn't picked to play in the reward a slap upside the head to tell her that she's the most expendable. Could they
make it ANY more obvious how out of the loop she is? She might as well be on Mars for all they seem to care. PG has already started to work her magic on Denise
and Denise even admits that she'll turn on her alliance if it benefits her. Now, she might be all talk for all I care but Todd and co could avoid Denise
even considering other possibilities if they had just told her how they were going to vote and not screwing with the girl with the trust issues. If Denise had
half a strategic bone in her body, she'd turn on her alliance with a big fat ugly "screw you". She even increases her chances of winning if she
flips to the other alliance. I mean, she seems more well liked than Courtney and if she were to make F3, she'd have an ok shot. If she can clue into the
fact that she's not really included in Todd's plans for the F3 (for all I can tell), she has to realize that her only way there is to win the final
immunity challenge. Let's look at her odds, shall we? She doesn't stand half a chance against Amanda (strongest female left), Todd (light, could do
well in endurance), James (Hercules), and Courtney (ummm, same as Todd, I guess...). She may not have a huge shot against PG etc, but her odds have gotta be
stronger than those. Now PG could reap the benefits by building an alliance of her, Denise, Eric, and swing vote Frosti. Now, you may say, well that just makes
it at tie with 4 vs. 4 but factor in Courtney's "romance" or w/e that we see her having with Frosti on the promos and it could spell big trouble
for Amanda etc. In a season with players like Ami etc. who know how to spot opportunities, Todd and Amanda would never be able to dominate the game like
they've been doing. I have to say that so far they've been damn lucky because the only player IMO who has any game left is PG. Things could change on a
dime and until he lasts through next week and his CORE alliance gains a true majority, his alliance could crumble fast and he could be the captain of a sinking
ship.

1. Amanda
(in the same place as todd without seeming like the leader) 2. Todd (has no one really gunning for him. his only enemy is himself) 3. Denise (the only way she goes out soon is if she tries to make a move and fails. she's not a challenge threat, and there's no real reason for Todd/Amanda to vote her out anytime soon). 4. Courtney (she has had a tendency to rub people the wrong way, but has no one gunning for her. she'd be the most likely to make some sort of move on Todd/Amanda). 5. James (still could be blindsided by Todd, but I'm thinking that was mostly snazzy editing) 6. Erik (there's nothing to be scared of) 7. Frosti (he's proven to be an immunity threat and also not part of the alliance) 8. PG (was basically dead if it weren't for Jean-Robert being a dick) |

I think that unless the immunity challenges start getting more physical James will be leaving soon followed by Erik. PG surviving this week puts her in a very
good position, because Todd and co. will begin to see that their chance for getting rid of James is running out. I think everyone will want to take PG to the
end because they think she's annoying, but if Todd and Amanda screw over everyone in their alliance to do so she might end up winning. I think we might
even end up having an all female final 3 this year, Amanda, PG, and then either Denise or Courtney. Should be interesting.

I can't imagine anyone would want to take PG to the F3. She has guaranteed votes from Jamie and Erik, and probably Frosti. JR is ticked off for being low
man in the alliance and would probably vote against any FL if he has an option. It would be suicide to take PG to the F3.

That's true, Beefcake, but with Todd calling the shots, he hasn't exactly made the smartest moves thus far.
