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.

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.
