Posts: 3545 (07/14/08 4:20 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	EPISODE 10 NOTES: Here are a few important notes about Episode 10 and the rest of this story. Please be sure to read them so that you have a better understanding of what is going on. 1) So there is Episode 10. We're finally into double digits, and there are only 4 more episodes to go. This is an episode that I have some mixed feelings about. I really like all the thought and strategy that had to go into both groups trying to avoid the tie vote, but I think that some of it might have been confusing, which isn't good. Also, I admit that the episode was pretty slow until the challenge, and then when it really picked up a lot. Unlike most episodes, this is one that I really can't predict how it will be ranked. I could see some of you liking it a lot and some of you not liking it. Hopefully the majority are in the "like" camp though. 2) My apologies for forgetting to post the Tribal Council scene at Sucks. Sorry about that confusion, and for ruining the surprise if anyone got it spoiled for them… 3) I guess I do want to say something about Kathy's edit though. I think it's possibly the closest I've ever had to Cristina's in Cook Islands, where she was hardly shown in her boot episode at all. I didn't want Kathy to be UTR1 though because I think that would not really do her justice, so I gave her the little fishing scene just so she could be featured a little bit. It's been interesting for me that some of you called Kathy an OTT distraction for Tracy - I definitely agree with Kathy being OTT, but I always pictured her as being the background character to Tracy, who was always in the forefront. So it's interesting that her edit might not have come across that way. Anyway, I'll touched more on Kathy's edit later in the notes… 4) The rest of the notes will go through the whole episode in order, like usual, and I'll also answer a few questions that I think you might have about what is going on right now: 5) The Episode starts with the aftermath of the last Tribal Council, and Brooke talks about how she was blindsided by the fact that Ian was on the jury when she tried to make sure he wouldn't be. Then Mary and Aras got some confessionals about Ian going and not feeling comfortable in the tribe, and Mary confronted Brooke/Sherea about Tribal Council. Recall that Aras/Mary/Alexis went to the Airai people about voting off Sherea, so she would have obviously be upset with them as well, but the fact that I only showed her yelling at Brooke/Sherea (and really, only Brooke) could possibly be telling. I kept this short because I didn't want a long, drawn-out fight, but it might be somewhat important - it also was partly to explain why Mary was sent to Exile Island. 6) The next scene is, admittedly, nothing special and I know that the episode is pretty slow until the challenge. But this does introduce Mikey saying they he's going to be in the game for the "long haul," (which leads up to him switching his vote to prevent going home). Eliza's confessional about Mary was also supposed to give a reason why they picked her to go to Exile, since she was annoying the Favorites' girls. Then the conversation between Mary and Alexis about Aras was for two reasons: 1) to show that Alexis is going to start being more prominent and not just following behind Aras; 2) to make you think that Alexis might actually vote for Aras. If there was a regular Tribal Council though and Aras didn't have Immunity, Mary and Alexis would have most likely voted for him if they thought it was a lost cause. The next part of the scene is about the tribe waiting around for their Reward Challenge. In the schedule, there's been a RC the day after Tribal Council every time, and now there wasn't, so that was meant to cause some paranoia. The confessionals from Tracy and Aras are just kindof narrative and meant to keep the story moving along. They're not particularly significant. 7) Then we get a scene on Day 27 of Kathy and Aras fishing, which was included so that Kathy would have a bit of a better boot episode than just an UTR1. I thought it was a fitting scene for her character, although it was meaningless in the bigger picture. That's all I really have to say about it… 8) The next scene is a challenge that turns out to be for Reward and Immunity. At first, I thought the twist of dividing them into three groups and then having one group miss Tribal Council to go on an overnight Reward was an original idea, but then I realized that it was basically what happened at the merge in Fiji except with 3 teams instead of 2. I guess there was an added element to it though with Exile Island, which got Mary out of the loop for the afternoon. I thought that added an interesting dynamic before Tribal Council… The challenge itself was the one that was used in Episode 6 of real Micronesia, because I knew that it had to be something that Alexis and Tracy (and others) could sortof "sabotage" or help another team win without being incredibly obvious about it. I did think it was more fair to pick the teams this way than having them randomly determined like in Fiji. Aras picking Mary first would be an obvious choice since he'd want them both to be immune if they won. Sherea picked Brooke first (before Eliza), which is going to be more important soon than it appears right now. Alexis picked Mikey because she thought he would be stronger, although strength really didn't matter that much in this challenge. I think all of the other picks made sense too. 9) Why did Brooke, Sherea, and Eliza send Mary to Exile Island? Mary was picked by the Favorites to go to Exile Island partly because they were all annoyed with her, partly because they thought she had the lowest chance of finding the hidden Immunity Idol and partly because Brooke/Sherea/Eliza wanted to give Kathy/Tracy/Mikey an advantage by sending away one of Aras' votes. The hope was that Mary might vote separately from Aras/Alexis, which would give the three Fans a majority. 10) So now that the challenge is over, we move on to the more interesting part of the episode beginning with the Reward scene, which I didn't find boring (unlike some other Rewards I've written before). The Reward was a trip to a Micronesian village, which tends to be pretty common in the show nowadays. The real show had the winners go to Yap, but I didn't want to have mine be that specific. I did research Micronesian villages and traditions to incorporate into my scene, but the one thing that was influenced by the show was Sherea's confessional about the women being topless. That didn't come up in any of my research, but I thought that the confessional that I wrote fit well with Sherea's personality. The "green plant" that the chief gave to the women is a true thing as well, although I don't know what type of plant it is. They had to carry that into the village as a sign of respect, although I'm not sure why this tradition exists. Finally, I liked Eliza's confessional about the dancing and Sherea's confessional about the young Micronesian guy being attracted to Eliza (like Erik). I hope that part was fun to read about, and I actually thought that Sherea came across fairly positively in this episode. Hopefully she gets her first positive episode ever in one of my stories because I think it might be deserved. 11) After this, we go back to the Rubak tribe where Alexis talks about the twist at the challenge with three people missing Tribal Council. She was probably the smartest person of everyone because she realized that Brooke/Sherea/Eliza needed to win the challenge so that all three of her alliance members would attend Tribal Council and only three of the other alliance would go. This set the stage for the inevitable tie vote and all the strategizing that went on. Tracy had a similar confessional, but she said that everyone in her alliance was focused on not letting anyone from Aras' alliance win, which is why nobody blockaded B/E/S's tunnel, and it was a mistake for them to not look at the numbers. Mikey was upset because he knew that his team had to win to give his alliance the majority. I know all of that sounds confusing… Next, Alexis has a confessional about Mary going to Exile Island interfering with their strategy because they have to come up with some kind of signal to let her know how they're voting. That leads to: the most important thing in this scene is that Aras and Alexis decide they are going to vote for Kathy for strategic reasons. 12) What are the tie-breaker rules? The rules of a tie-breaker are that the two tied contestants will not vote in a re-vote, but everyone else will re-vote. If the vote is still tied, it is ruled a deadlock, and the two tied contestants are given Immunity along with the person who actually has individual Immunity from winning the Immunity Challenge (which was no one in this episode). The other untied contestants will reach into a bag and the person who picks the purple rock gets voted out. Before the purple rock, the contestants are given 2 minutes to unanimously decide who should be voted out, but I don't include this in my episodes because I don't think it would really work in most cases and I don't want it to just take up room. In this episode, Aras and Alexis chose to vote for Kathy because they felt that the vote would be deadlocked. Therefore, Kathy would be given Immunity while Mikey and Tracy (two more threatening players) would have to pull rocks. Obviously, this backfired when Mikey switched his vote, but that was the logic involved. 13) Now we go to Exile Island. I really don't have much to say about this scene, but there's a few things I'll point out: 1) I'm once again leaving it open as to whether or not Mary found the idol, just because that will be more suspenseful instead of just revealing it now. 2) Mary was going to vote for Tracy at this point, but she does say that she'll be looking for a signal from her alliance. I put this in there because I wanted you to think that Mary might have voted separately from them. 14) The next Reward scene is more strategy-oriented and has the three Favorites girls talking about what is going on back at camp. Eliza recaps the 3-3 voting situation and says that things are up in the air. Sherea suggests the idea of trying to get Alexis to vote for Aras (which comes up in the next scene), and then Brooke proposes that Brooke/Sherea/Eliza go to the Final Three together. She also says that if one of the Fans happens to go due to the purple rock it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. Let me explain the logic here: if everything went as planned and the Final Six was B/S/E/T/K/M, there would most likely be a tie between Brooke/Sherea/Eliza and Mikey/Tracy/Kathy at that point. Mikey MAY have voted with the Favorites, but there'd probably be a tie with the Fans and Favorites both trying to come out on top. So Brooke was saying that if one of the Fans leaves now from a purple rock, that gives the Favorites a 3-2 advantage over the remaining Fans in their alliance. This is what happened with Kathy leaving, so in theory, if Aras' alliance was out of the picture, Brooke/Sherea/Eliza would have a majority over Tracy/Mikey. You might be able to see a problem with this though, which I won't blatantly give away… 15) Back to camp for the rest of the strategy scene. This is where things get really complicated, I think, because there's a lot of "if, then" scenarios being thrown out. Mikey starts off right away by telling Tracy and Kathy that he's not going to go home from picking a rock. He then comes up with the same plan that Alexis came up with: to vote for the person that they want to stay the most. His alliance decides to vote for Alexis, because if the vote is deadlocked, Alexis would be immune and Aras/Mary would have to pick the rock. This is the same reasoning Alexis used before. But since Mikey fears the purple rock, he comes up with another idea: to try to get Alexis to vote for Aras so that the vote will go 3-(2)-1. The reason they don't vote for Aras is because he's be immune from the purple rock if it was deadlocked and the wanted to get rid of him the most. The reason they don't vote for Mary is because if she played the idol, then Aras' alliance would automatically win out. So Alexis was the only choice: At this point, the votes are going to go like this: VOTING FOR ALEXIS: Tracy, Kathy, Mikey VOTING FOR KATHY: Aras, Alexis, Mary??? 16) There's a few things that you didn't see that happened. 1) Mikey tried to convince Aras/Alexis to vote for HIMSELF prior to wanting Alexis to vote for Aras. This way, MIKEY would be the one that was immune from the purple rock. This was the only way that he would let the vote be a deadlock, and he stated this openly. Once he saw the first vote for Kathy, he knew he was going to change it. 2) Knowing that Mikey might potentially switch, Tracy and Kathy talked about potentially voting Mikey off. The reason they didn't was the same reason that Alexis didn't vote for Aras. No one could trust each other. Aras/Alexis could have just agreed to vote out Mikey and then not done it because that would have split T/K/M's votes with 2 for Mikey, 1 for Alexis, and then 3 for Kathy. That's why they decided to stay unified at first and vote for Alexis as a group of 3. I can't even say it enough: there was SO MUCH strategy going on. Anyway, aside from that, Mikey did try to get Alexis to vote for Aras, and what she did was very smart: she was going to vote for Kathy at first to ensure that the vote was actually a tie, and IF T/K/M really did vote for Aras, then Alexis would have switched to Aras and he would have been voted out. Aras could have been gone, but those three voted for Alexis instead. I kindof touched on Mikey not wanting to pick the rock already, but I think his last confessional before Tribal Council explained it well. In general, it's just a really crappy way to leave the game and that's why I had them bring up Denise in China getting screwed over by it (normally, I wouldn't reference events from a past season, but this season is okay since it's Fans vs. Favorites). Besides, if it wasn't now, Mikey was likely to betray Tracy/Kathy at some point in the game, possibly at Final Six as I mentioned in an earlier note. The last thing I want to say is that I liked Alexis' confessional before the challenge - it was very smart, I think, and that even though it's really an obvious thing, I liked the idea that she was going to cough at Tribal Council whenever Jeff said Kathy's name. I think the fact that Aras/Alexis had to try to signal Mary about the vote would be fun to watch because they'd definitely be very frantic about it. So hopefully there was some suspense going into Tribal Council and you didn't know exactly what was going to happen… 17) Tribal Council: it starts with a little funny moment of Alexis and Aras trying to point to Kathy and write a "K" in the air, which is something that's never happened before, and then Ian walks in and says "Where'd half the tribe go?" I thought that was a good way to start off, and I also thought there would some good answers at Tribal Council. Alexis actually talked quite a bit, which is a big change. I liked Mary not really commenting on how much she looked for the idol or whether or not she found it. I also liked her answer saying that the tribe is always going to be divided within every group, especially on Day 27. I thought that was an honest answer compared to some people who might have just said the tribe was unified. Tracy also gave an insightful comment about the jury, I think, and Mikey's short but sweet answer emphasized again that he was voting strategically and for self-preservation, as did Alexis'. 18) Now we get to the voting, and we see one for Kathy and one for Alexis, which should have been expected. Mary also was heard saying that she hopes she made the right vote (I did show her looking over at Alexis when Alexis did the second cough). Basically, what you saw happening was a completely new strategy where everyone voted for the person who they wanted to stay the most. This did result in a tie, but because Aras' group didn't vote for Mikey like he wanted them to, he would have been vulnerable to the purple rock after the deadlocked tie. Therefore, Mikey ended up switching his vote to Kathy and said that he was "evening the score" between him and Tracy. As you know, they always did have almost a rivalry even since Episode 1, so I don't think this is that unexpected from him. Hopefully there was enough provided in the episode to justify why he switched his vote. When he said "You got me, now I got you," he was referring to the blindside in Episode 8 where he used the hidden Immunity Idol. So Kathy ends up going and Aras survived the vote WITHOUT having the Immunity necklace. Remember he said he didn't want to have to rely on it to stay in the game, so the fact that this happened, could ultimately be good for his chances. 19) A LOOK AHEAD AT EPISODE 11 Well, after Episode 9 being very predictable and Episode 10 being probably very Unpredictable, Episode 11 should fall somewhere in the middle between the two. I've only written a little bit of it so far, but I think it's going to be a more middle-of-the-road kind of episode. I'll say that the Reward itself (not the challenge) will be interesting because it's designed to cause some dissent in the tribe, and it's something that has never really been done of the show before. Bonus points if you can guess what that is. Other than that, I can't really reveal much about the episode. You might be surprised by the reactions from Tracy/Mikey though. That will be interesting to see… 20) So that's it for Episode 10. I hope these notes served to clear up some things. I know some of the strategy was complicated and confusing, and I definitely want you to understand what's going on. Please feel free to ask any other questions. Thanks to all of you for being loyal readers and continuing to read no matter what! It's been a fun season so far! :) My sincere thanks to you for reading this episode. I'm amazed to still have so many people reading and commenting into the seventh season. I would greatly appreciate it if you could spend a few minutes to leave some comments on the episode and let me know what you thought. Thanks in advance for all the replies!

Thanks a lot for your comments on the episode, and for being the first to reply to this one! I enjoyed reading your thoughts, and I'm glad to see that you liked the episode! Don't read my comments if you haven't read TC... Thanks for putting the disclaimer up so that the ending wasn't spoiled for anyone... Very interesting twist. Definitely good to see the fans actually use knowledge of the show as well, especially Mikey B. And then Alexis wanted to throw the challenge to make it 3-3... good thinking. Surprised Brooke and Eliza didn't realize that. Great suspense etc. I actually thought Kathy got the edit to go home again (her nature scene), but I thought "no way!". It wasn't until right before TC where I realized it was obviously her going home. I'm also surprised Mary had the audacity to be such a rotten bitch. Thanks for these comments. I'm glad you liked the episode and the twist - I know that Kathy was an entertaining character to lose, but it prevented a boring episode where one of Aras/Mary/Alexis were picked off. Alexis, Tracy, and Mikey were the three that kindof caught on to what they had to do at the challenge. Brooke may have, but as you saw in her confessionals, she really didn't care that much if one of the Fans went home. Eliza should have probably been smarter, but the thing is (and I know you can't tell this just from reading it) that Eliza's team had basically no blockade in their tunnel at all, so by the second part of the challenge, it would be basically impossible for them to lose. Mary/Brooke fight. Glad you liked this, since I really didn't think it was anything big. Thank you very much for the 9.3! I really appreciate that! :) Thanks for your predictions and for filling out the Popularity Poll. Great to still see all those 10s. Excellent job on your Edgic ratings, as always. Those are all pretty much what I was expecting. Thanks for your Edgic lists as well. 3. MIKEY B - He doesn't have enough long term confessionals though, I find. It's very in the moment. So he's barely a contender. That's definitely a very valid point. I do think that he has a significant Episode 1 confessional though (his first confessional of the season), but aside from that one, he might be lacking some connection to the endgame and the overall themes. Very insightful thought! Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts. I really appreciate you commenting every week! Hope you continue to enjoy the last four episodes, and have a great night! :)

Posts: 3547 (07/14/08 7:23 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Hello CirieFieldsofDreams! Thank you very much for your comments on the episode, and for replying so quickly! I enjoyed reading what you had to say, and I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts every week. :) I liked this one probably most of your recent ones. The Kathy edit went totally over my head, so I thought it would be Alexis. I was surprised that Mikey broke the tie, yet I suppose it's understandable. I was disapointed to see Kathy go, yet that does still leave some of my favorites in power. I'm interested in what Mikey/Tracy will do next episode. Both sides have three people, so they're in the minority either way. Yet still, I'd be surprised if they teamed up with Aras. Thank you. Very nice to hear that this was your favorite of the recent episodes. I know that with Kathy having such a lowkey edit in this episode, so it might not have seemed like she was going. That was partially what I was going for, because her being picked as the vote choice was supposed to come out of left field and so there wasn't really much reason to show her a lot throughout the episode. I do think it made sense for Mikey to switch his vote. I was also disappointed to see Kathy go, but like Ian, I felt that her edit could only go so far. (Like the real show), her allies had been mostly voted off and the only person she still has a strong tie to in the game was Tracy, so she didn't have the depth to go into the endgame. There will be an interesting dynamic between Tracy and Mikey next episode... Loved the Brooke-Mary fight (Mary = hypocritical bitch) and Kathy and Aras fishing. Surprised that you said these two parts, but I'm glad you liked them! Thank you very much for the 9.5! I'm very happy with that! :) Thanks a lot for your Episode 11 predictions and for filling out the Popularity Poll! I think I've guessed Aras 3 episodes straight and been wrong, so I'll say Mary You're bound to be right eventually. Thanks again for your comments. Thanks for being a loyal reader and commenter. Hope you continue to enjoy the last four episodes, and have a great night! :)

I really enjoyed reading your post, and I'm glad you enjoyed the episode! :) I really liked it. The TC was pretty exciting trying to underdtand if Mary could understand to vote for Kathy. I knew Mikey would have changed hid vote, and I actually agree with him. I'm starting to really like Alexis, she's playing smart and if it wasn't for her terrible edgic she would definitely be a contender. Great episode as always =) Thanks! Glad you thought the Tribal Council was exciting and suspenseful. Also good to see that you agreed with Mikey about changing his vote (I think I was probably most worried about that part making sense or not). Alexis has been playing fairly smart for the last few episodes anyway (post-Episode 5, I'd say), and she was the one who knew Aras was being stupid last week and the one who worked the challenge to get the outcome she wanted. Her edit is better from here on out. Alexis understanding to lose the challenge on purpose Thanks for picking this out as a favorite part. :) Thanks for rating the episode a 9. I'm very happy with that! :) Also, thank you for your predictions and for filling out the Popularity Poll. Great to see a variety of numbers. Great job on those Edgic Contenders / Eliminated lists. Thanks for posting them! Thanks again for your comments on the episode. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts every week! Great to have you as a loyal reader. Hope you enjoy the last four episodes, and have a great night! :)

I loved the challenge, reward, twist, and tribal council. I loved the scenes where Kathleen caught a fish (kinda reminded me of Cirie) and the people drawing "K"s in the air... very funny. Sad to see Kathleen go home, but I'm okay since Brooke and Eliza are there! :) I do believe that Eliza will backstab Sherea... eventually (then Brooke will somehow not get voted out). I thought it was interesting that Eliza and Sherea had lots of confessionals about how good the reward was, while Brooke talked only about the game... hm... interesting. PS - I love how Alexis got some more screen time. Thank you for the comment about being unable to not love my episodes - that means a lot. I'm glad you loved all those parts of the episode. I did think about the scene where Cirie caught a fish in Exile Island, but I didn't want this to be like that, which is why I focused on "killing the fish" rather than just her catching it. Interesting and insightful comments about Eliza possibly backstabbing Sherea, and about Brooke getting the strategic comments at the Reward compared to Eliza/Sherea. That was definitely something I thought about and you were very observant to pick up on it. I was glad to be able to show more of Alexis too. This was the episode that I knew she would shine strategically. The reward. Thanks. There's even one more small scene from this Reward in Episode 11 since it was an overnight thing. 9 (I hope you're okay with that)... ^^ I really liked it, it was different. Thanks for the 9. I'm okay with any number that you want to rate it - it's your opinion afterall. In fact, a few episodes have had higher averages than I would give them which just goes to show that everyone's opinions will always be a little different. I'm glad you enjoyed the episode! :) Thank you for your predictions and for filling out the Popularity Poll. Great to see all those high numbers on there! Awesome job on those Edgic ratings. They're all very close to what I was expecting. Thanks for posting them, and for posting your Contenders / Eliminated lists as well. I'm impressed by all of this stuff. :) Mary - MORN4... though I can see a OTTN4 as well. Mikey - CP(N?)4 These are two that I'm not quite sure about yet either. I figured Mary would be between those two, and I also sensed a slight negative with Mikey, so I'll have to see which direction the consensus goes on those ones. As always, I loved reading your fanfic... thanks for all of your help! :) Glad to hear it, and you're welcome. I'll answer anymore questions that you have. Thanks again for your positive comments. It's great to read all of your thoughts, and I appreciate your excitement over the story. Hope you continue to enjoy the last four episodes, and have a great night! :)

I really appreciate you always taking the time to comments, and you bring up lots of great points all the time. :) Liked the unpredictableness of it, but when Kathy's name was brought up it was like OH shit the plan will fail and she will go home, since I did notice she was fairly UTR of the group of Airai's. Glad to see Alexis get some screentime. Thanks. Glad you liked that it was more unpredictable. Next week's isn't quite as unpredictable, but it should still be fairly interesting and maybe a bit surprising. You're definitely right about Kathy being more UTR this time. With her going home, I just didn't need to show much of her and it was more important for me to focus on the eight that stayed. I was also glad to be able to show Alexis more. You'll see her again next week too, although not quite as much. Alexis's plot Thank you very much. I think this episode has some parallels to the Cook Islands (which I didn't think about until right now) in that Kathy was similar to Cristina, and Alexis was similar to Becky, who emerged out of nowhere and came up with some brilliant strategies. I kindof want to read a few of those episodes now because I don't remember them that well... 9 (-1 for Kathy leaving) Thanks. I'm very happy with a 9. Sorry for the loss of Kathy - I know she had a lot of fans, but at least she lasted 3 more episodes than she did on the real show. I really enjoyed writing for her too. Mikey or Tracy; Did you ever try to threaten Alexis into "If you don't vote with us next Tribal Council it will be 5-3 and we will take you out" or "Next time Aras will probably have Immunity and Mary may have the Idol, so it will be you" That's a great question, and yes they did, but the problem was still the same: they could have just been saying that to divert Alexis' vote. Had they really voted for Aras, and it was 3 for Aras, 3 for Kathy, Alexis WOULD have changed her vote to Aras in the re-vote. She was willing to have him go but her vote against Kathy was just a safety precaution so her or Mary wouldn't go home, and lucky she did, because if not, Alexis would have been voted out. So Alexis WAS goin to vote for Aras, but when Mikey's group voted for Alexis, it kindof screwed that up. Everyone was just afraid of the purple rock. Thanks for your predictions, and for filling out the Popularity Poll. I appreciate the little comments next to each person and I enjoy reading them. Alexis - 7 (Started to like her) Glad you started to like her more. Eliza - 8 (Not quite Eliza this time) She definitely fell into the narrator role rather than being very strategic like she usually is. Still, I enjoy writing for her and I like her confessionals. She's way ahead of everyone else right now, which is interesting because it wasn't consciously planned out like that, but she just seems to get a lot of speaking time no matter what. Tracy - 7 (She got played) I guarantee she'll have an interesting reaction to the Tribal Council. Excellent job on those Edgic ratings. They're all very close to what I intended and I'm impressed by how accurate they are! Great Contenders / Eliminated lists too. Interesting that Mikey is starting to show up more than once on these... Thanks again for your comments. I enjoyed reading your thoughts, and I hope you continue to enjoy the last four episodes. Have a great night! :)

Please be as detailed as you can, wherever possible. Well first off, it pisses me off to see Aras basically getting away scot-free from trying to boot one of his supposed allies and in fact, he was saved by a twist. That just sucks on so many levels. And worse yet, Mary became a total bitch about the whole ordeal when it was her own damn fault for excluding people, and yet SHE was saved by a twist as well. And Alexis? Alexis is just boring as hell, although I have to give her credit for being the only smart player in terms of immunity challenge strategy. And Kathy...poor Kathy. That was the worst ending since Bruce got booted from All-Stars and yet the focus was around Danielle, who was the second boot target. I mean, she was so positive throughout the entire series and she's just such a lovable character and it sucks to see her get booted by a twist the way she was. It also just sucks to see Maras sticking around ANOTHER tribal council, because I hate them both so fucking much. I thought the twist sucked, but only because it hurt my favorites, but even before I got spoiled by the visibility charts, I knew Kathy was going home. I knew she was going home the second Alexis said "If they really vote for Aras, I'll vote him in the revote. Add to that the fact that Mikey is untrustworthy and basically hates Tracy and Kathy, and it was clear what was going to happen. So it looks like everyones' plans backfired and Kathy wound up getting screwed in such a bad way. And I absolutely hate the three Malakal girls at this point for not even caring about what happens to their supposed allies. I think my prediction from last week will be accurate and Mary will wind up with Tracy and possibly Mikey if she and him still work together. I mean, he did what he had to do to protect himself, even though he had a 75% chance of someone he wanted to go home, going home. (B) What was your overall favorite part of the episode? Um...I guess the fact that Kathy caught her fish. (C) What would you rate this episode out of 10? (1 being the lowest; 10 being the highest) 6 (So very disappointing in terms of a feel-good episode) (D) Do you have any questions about this episode that you'd like to see cleared up in a future episode or at the Reunion Show? Tracy/Mikey & Mary/Aras: You had a chance to take out one of the biggest threats in the game, yet you instead chose to target the smallest threats. Any regrets on that? 1. SOLE SURVIVOR POLL (A) Which castaway will be the Sole Survivor? Tracy 2. WHAT'S NEXT POLL (A) Which castaway will be voted off in Episode 11? Sherea (She, like Ian and most of the other eliminated favorites, just hasn't been as big as she was in China, so her time must be running out.) (B) Do you have any other predictions for Episode 11? Mikey joins Mary/Alexis/Aras' alliance and in another tie, Tracy changes her vote to boot Sherea. 3. POPULARITY POLL (A) Please rate each castaway's popularity from 1-10. 1 is the lowest score, while 10 is the highest. Please try to base your ratings only on the likeability of the characters in my story, not how they appeared on the real show. Alexis - 7 (I may dislike the outcome, but I can't actively hate her for actually doing something) Ami - 6 Aras - 0 (Fucking douchebag) Brooke - 5 (Bitch) Chet - 2 Dave - 8 Earl - 3 Eliza - 6 (Meh territory) Erik - 6 Ian - 7 Jason - 10 Joel - 10 Kathy - 10 (R.I.P. ;_;) Mary - 0 (Self-entitled showmancing bitch) Mikey - 5 (I'm pissed at him for screwing Tracy's alliance AGAIN) Natalie - 4 Ruth Marie - 3 Sherea - 5 (Bleh) Terry - 0 Tracy - 10 (Keep fighting!) 4. EDGIC POLL * For readers familiar with the concept of Edgic. For more information Edgic, please visit this thread: EDGIC (A) Edgic for my fanfics has been very successful over the past few seasons, so I would love to get some reader involvement in determining Edgic ratings again. Please submit your own ratings in this thread. Ratings will be compiled and I'll post the final ratings in a chart before the next episode. Rating: INV, UTR, MOR, CP, OTT Tone: NN, N, Mixed (M) , Neutral (), P, PP Visibility: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Alexis - CP4 Aras - MOR3 Brooke - MOR3 Eliza - MOR3 Kathy - OTTP2 Mary - MORN4 Mikey - CPN3 Sherea - UTR2 Tracy - MOR3 Current Chart * Please factor in your own ratings for Episode 10 for the following questions 1) Based on Edgic, which Survivor(s) do you think have the best chance of winning? 1. Tracy (I STILL think she has the best edit and is at least an endgamer, given how there's only one other player who has a chance, and you wouldn't eliminate the only option before the final episode. Plus, her edit is differentiating her from Tracy in that she's not ALWAYS positive and there's plenty of doubt as to whether she can win or not.) 2. Brooke (Second to Tracy still because she's just never been important enough to get above a three in visibility.) 3. Mikey (His edit has been very Dave-esque, but he's still around and he's playing a strategic game. I don't think that things would work out that way though, given how you said you try to mix up your winners.) 4. Aras (I can't write him off, but his edit just isn't doing it for me. He's still relatively good in terms of potential for winning though.) 5. Mary (Aside from those early episodes and that INV, she's good. She's a lot like Amanda though, from the real Micronesia.) 6. Eliza (She's got connections to the themes and a cooldown, but she's still WAY to visible.) 2) Based on Edgic, which Survivor(s) do you think are not eligible to be the winner, and are therefore "eliminated?" Alexis: Too Little, Too Late Sherea: She's Had Absolutely Nothing Since Episode One

I liked it as always and this one was a pleasant surprise with more hardcore strategy than I think we've ever seen in an episode of yours and was glad I was able to keep up with it. That just proves it was written well and you have improved over the couple of years you've been doing these. Also I was glad to see Alexis and Sherea a little bit more than usual. Was sad to see Kathy go but was glad it was not a boring Pagonging of the Aras alliance. I don't know what was up with Mary who is still sort of boring come out as this raving bitch.

Posts: 3551 (07/15/08 8:10 AM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Hello KittyPryde1. Thanks a lot for your thorough comments on the episode, even if you didn't enjoy this one as much. I still appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, and you definitely bring up many valid points about things that bothered you about it. Well first off, it pisses me off to see Aras basically getting away scot-free from trying to boot one of his supposed allies and in fact, he was saved by a twist. That just sucks on so many levels. And worse yet, Mary became a total bitch about the whole ordeal when it was her own damn fault for excluding people, and yet SHE was saved by a twist as well. And Alexis? Alexis is just boring as hell, although I have to give her credit for being the only smart player in terms of immunity challenge strategy. And Kathy...poor Kathy. That was the worst ending since Bruce got booted from All-Stars and yet the focus was around Danielle, who was the second boot target. I mean, she was so positive throughout the entire series and she's just such a lovable character and it sucks to see her get booted by a twist the way she was. It also just sucks to see Maras sticking around ANOTHER tribal council, because I hate them both so fucking much. Thank you for these comments. I'm actually kindof glad that you have such hatred for Aras and Mary right now because that means there will possibly be a few moments coming up that you will enjoy, including their possible boots if they're not in the Final Two/Three. It is good to have characters that evoke strong reactions, whether good or bad, and I'm sorry that they were saved by a twist (because I agree that that is what happened), but sometimes I do have to switch things up and I can't keep the most positive people all the time. Glad that you recognized Alexis for being smart about the challenge, and I'm very sorry that Kathy had to go - I know you lost Joel, Jason, and Kathy now in 3 episodes so Tracy is one of your last hopes now. I really did feel like with all the strategy going on in this episode, I couldn't take the time to focus a lot on Kathy in her boot episode. But I am sorry that you're stuck with Maras for even longer. I thought the twist sucked, but only because it hurt my favorites, but even before I got spoiled by the visibility charts, I knew Kathy was going home. I knew she was going home the second Alexis said "If they really vote for Aras, I'll vote him in the revote. Add to that the fact that Mikey is untrustworthy and basically hates Tracy and Kathy, and it was clear what was going to happen. Sorry, but I am glad that you were able to see Mikey switching his vote based on what we've seen in the past. I was worried about that not being a clear connection. So it looks like everyones' plans backfired and Kathy wound up getting screwed in such a bad way. And I absolutely hate the three Malakal girls at this point for not even caring about what happens to their supposed allies. I think my prediction from last week will be accurate and Mary will wind up with Tracy and possibly Mikey if she and him still work together. I mean, he did what he had to do to protect himself, even though he had a 75% chance of someone he wanted to go home, going home. Brooke was the only one of the Malakal girls that didn't care about it that much. I think Eliza and Sherea will be a little disappointed. Interesting thought about Mary working with Tracy and Mikey. You'll have to keep that in the back of your mind as you read the next episode(s) because it could happen. 6 (So very disappointing in terms of a feel-good episode) I kindof expected this, although I am sorry that you didn't enjoy it (or maybe just the outcome more than anything). But I'm definitely fine with a 6, and that is why we all have different opinions and perspectives. Hope you like Episode 11 more though! Tracy/Mikey & Mary/Aras: You had a chance to take out one of the biggest threats in the game, yet you instead chose to target the smallest threats. Any regrets on that? Thanks for the question. I'm going to save this for the Reunion Show only because the answer will depend on what happens with the rest of the game for both of these two groups. If they get voted off next, then maybe they'll regret it, but if it improves their situation somehow, probably not, so I'll wait until we know the outcome and then I'll ask. Thanks for your predictions, and for filling out the Popularity Poll! Once again, I enjoy the little comments, especially the negative ones for Aras and Mary. Funny. Alexis - 7 (I may dislike the outcome, but I can't actively hate her for actually doing something) I'm happy to see that her average has gone up quite a bit this episode from recent weeks. Kathy - 10 (R.I.P. ;_;) Indeed. Tracy - 10 (Keep fighting!) She will. :) Excellent job on those Edgic ratings. I'm very impressed by them and they're very close to what I was going for. Also, your Edgic Contenders / Eliminated lists look very good as well! 1. Tracy (I STILL think she has the best edit and is at least an endgamer, given how there's only one other player who has a chance, and you wouldn't eliminate the only option before the final episode. Plus, her edit is differentiating her from Tracy in that she's not ALWAYS positive and there's plenty of doubt as to whether she can win or not.) Kindof a rhetorical question, but I think you are referring to Brooke as the only other player who has a chance (since she's your #2 choice)? I agree though that Tracy's had a pretty strong edit so far and has been well-connected to the endgame. 3. Mikey (His edit has been very Dave-esque, but he's still around and he's playing a strategic game. I don't think that things would work out that way though, given how you said you try to mix up your winners.) He has definitely been playing strategically, but surprisingly, he hasn't been as negative as Dave, especially recently. But I do think he probably earned a negative (CPN) in this episode. Thanks again for your comments, and for taking the time to be so detailed about everything. I really appreciate that. Hope you enjoy the last four episodes more than this one, and have a great day! :)

She is the Natalie of your season and hopefully we will see her in all her bitchiness for a while. Thanks! Glad the episode was a pleasant surprise - I definitely didn't want it to be a boring Pagonging episode of one of Aras' alliance. I agree that there was a lot of intense strategy in the episode (sometimes I like that and sometimes I don't), but I thought it was interesting to see both sides trying to avoid a tie by voting for the person they wanted to stay the most. Thanks for the comment about me improving my writing too - that means a lot! One thing I can say about the episode is that I felt like, perhaps for the first time yet, all five of the young girls were distinct characters. I definitely don't think you'll be disappointed with Mary in the next episode. I never thought of Natalie at all, but that's a funny comparison. At least Mary was semi-visible beforehand though. Reward scene and I didn't catch the intended pun of him being named Erik until you pointed it out in the notes. Glad you liked this scene. In All-Stars and before, I think a lot of the Reward scenes were fairly weak, but starting since China, I've actually enjoyed writing these scenes more and I think they're getting better. 10 (I'm a sucker for hardcore strategy episodes and this was full of it. It was that good because on 1-10 scales I never give 10s no matter how much I love it.) Thanks so much! This makes me really happy! :) Thank you very much for your great predictions (very interesting, I might add), and for filling out the Popularity Poll! I enjoyed the comments next to each of the characters. Alexis - 6 (finally coming out in a good way) She's at the highest she's had since the beginning of the season, so I guess that is a good sign. Great to see so many of them with 8s, 9s, and 10s! Mikey - 6 (Ehh) He's outspoken and strategic, at least. Excellent job on your Edgic ratings. They are all very, very accurate to what I was going for. You definitely know what you're doing! (again too lazy to find visibility charts so that's my best guess) You did just fine without it. :) Thanks for ranking the Contenders as well. Definitely a very interesting list... Lovin this season more than ever! Great to hear that! Hope you continue to enjoy the last four episodes as much as this one. Thanks again for all of your comments, and for being so detailed on everything. It's great to have you as a reader! Have a great day! :)
