I imagine I'm the only person watching this season, but that was one of the best tribals ever tonight and the season's been really good as a whole. It's much better when there aren't retreads clogging up all the airtime. Of course, it's a shame that the dumb overpowered immunity idol is coming back (thanks Tyler Perry) right when it looks like they'd otherwise be going to rocks next week.

I hung on as long as I could but haven't watched the last couple. I actually got sucked into
watching the last 5 or 6 Bachelors with the girl I am dating and found it much more enjoyable
to oogle the bachelorette's and hate that douche Juan Pablo.

I have been watching. I have not seen last nights episode yet. But I have found this season to be most enjoyable season in awhile.

I'm watching. Disagree about the season, think its been pretty bad so far, but do agree about last night's tribal which was fantastic.


What is the special powers immunity idol? My guess is the person who has it can either fly or turn invisible, but I can't decide which one.

I believe the special immunity idol is going to be the same one that Yul and Terry had where you get to save yourself after the votes are read. Which makes it extremely overpowered and I fear is going to suck a lot of the drama out of the post-merge. And even though the producers seemed to recognize this after two seasons, they're bringing it back literally because Tyler Perry texted Jeff Probst that it would be a good idea.

I disagree, her rack looks like its seen better days. I bet they sag down to her hips when she lets them loose.

Now, Jethro on the other hand, has a fantastic rack that doesn't need a load bearing beam to stand upright.

Just caught the most recent episode. I hate Kass. What a self-satisfied little shit. Sarah also sucked, though. Trish is painful to look at. It's like she's transitioning from female to male right in front of our very eyes.

Every season I think the show HAS to start sucking, but it doesn't. I love this show...

Not sure Woo could have won either way, but it was pretty anticlimatic. The problem with a final two is that it is up to just one person to decide who the second person is. If this were a traditional three way final, the vote would have been a little more interesting (although I think it would have probably turned out the same way.)

Spencer was the only one who could have beaten Tony I think.

Tony was the luckiest "dominant player" to win. You have to win at least one immunity challenge to knock out your biggest threat. Knocking Spencer out was pure luck by Tony.

Anyone who's ever won has had to get some luck along the way, whether it be a tribal swap working in their favor or as you said someone not winning a key immunity when they need it. But, I think you are giving Tony a big disservice to call him the luckiest dominant player. Few players have dominated the game or deserved to win more than him. As far as I'm concerned the only mistake he made all game was getting rid of Trish. I didn't understand that one at all. Was he really worried she would beat him in the end cause that's just ludicrous.

He would've crushed Spencer too so not sure how he was that lucky to have Spencer knocked out at 4.

No one worked harder than Tony in terms of strategy. He also found 3 idols which is amazing.

That said, I thought his performance at teh final TC was pretty weak to say the least, but it just showed in the end how he was so far ahead he didn't even need a good final TC to seal the deal.


I will say that I don't get all the hype of this season. I thought it sucked, the winner was obvious from about 5 episodes in and no one even came close to catching him.

Tony didn't even win a single immunity challenge though. That is how you have to take out your biggest threat who is the one you can't vote out because they always have immunity.

He found the idols well and took advantage of just about everyone but his whole strategy fails when he has to hope that someone else wins immunity.

Tony made a lot of stupid moves and was saved by Woo making a pretty dumb move. Getting rid of Trish for instance was pretty stupid. It all worked out though but we end up having a lot of questions about Tony if Woo doesn't do what he did and hand it over to him.

Howard Stern used to talk about it constantly, so I feel that I haven't missed anything.

I don't see why you're hung up on Tony not winning any IC's. He went into just about every TC with a hidden immunity either in his pocket or around his neck. He didn't need to win any challenges. The only challenge he might've needed to win was the last one because Kass wouldn't have taken him. But, Woo won and took him. You say he was lucky and he was to some extent, but that was the only challenge he needed some luck in. Many others who have won the game needed to get lucky in terms of who won a challenge at one time or another in their game.

You question what would've happened if Woo wasn't an idiot, but the fact is that Woo was painted through the editing as constantly toying with the idea of turning on Tony, yet he never did. My guess is him and Tony were a lot more solid than the editing let on and Tony knew 100% that Woo was never going to turn on him. So there really wasn't nearly as much risk for Tony in those circunstances as we were led to believe.

I agree that getting rid of Trish was stupid, but I would call that just about his only poor strategic decision in a game where he made about 40 more strategic moves than the rest of the cast put together.

Did he play a flawless game? No. But I would argue that you'd be hard pressed to find anyone in the history of the game that played a better game than he did from start to finish. He's definitely in the team photo for most dominant champs ever.

His best quality IMO was that he was proactive. He never once said "let's sit around and see how this plays out". He acted and reacted to every bit of information he got and every instance of paranoia that overcame him unlike 99% of the people who play this game.

He sucked at final trial though. All he had to say was that yes he made promises to them on his family, but more importantly before he came on teh show he made promises TO his family that he would do whatever he had to do and lie to whoever he had to lie to in order to win the game and make their lives better. That would've ended that discussion right there cause even a self delusional reality contestant is gonna have a hard time arguing that a promise to a stranger is more important than a promise to your family.

I even wonder if that wasn't due to editing. It came off really poor, and I don't think it would have gone down like that. The fact that anybody thinks anything anyone else does has to fit some sort of societal norm in that game is ridiculous to begin with. It's a game that is somewhat based on the premise of decieving people. Swearing on your mom, father, or child's grave is a fake swear. How anyone thinks that is somehow "outside the lines" is beyond me. Look at Johnny Fairplay -- he even faked a death!

So did the girl with the big tits lose her big tits over the course of this show or did they vote her off before starvation set in?
