Lets try something other than sports...


Tonight is the survivor finals:

Who wins?

Denise
Courtney
Todd
Amanda

[brianhos]

I am not sure who I am cheering for, but once James was voted off, I am thinking Todd may get it, but I am usually wrong.

[C.John]

Todd or Amanda. I wish they would stop blurring something out......

[brianhos]

You just never know how these things will go, I always go in thinking one person is a cannot miss. I think that is Todd right now, but I have never been correct yet.

[C.John]

Todd is too much of a weasel, I think that when it comes down to Todd or Amanda, the jury will vote for Amanda. Regardless, I placed a bet on both. Thanks for the 4 to 1 odds that you had when I placed my bets.

Won't the immunity thing(I don't watch often) really effect the out come?

James had both immunity idols, and did not play them, so when he left, the idols left the game. So right now, no one has immunity.

I think Todd has burned to many bridges for him to get the votes to win. I would love to see Denise win but I think Amanda might be the one to pull out the victory.

Don't they still do immunity challenges?

[C.John]

I have a feeling that Denise gets the boot and the final 3 will be Todd Amanda and Courtney. No way Courtney wins.

Yeah sorry, what they have done the last few years is have immunity idols hidden on the island. They also have a reward challenge and an immunity challenge each episode.

The big immunity challenge is when there are 3 people left, since you cannot vote for yourself, if you win that one, you pretty much pick who you want to go into the final 2 with you. So people usually take the most controversial person with them to the finals.

Yeah Denise and Courtney have just been skating through doing nothing. Of course so has Amanda.

Yeah unless Denise or Courtney win that first immunity tonight, then Todd or Amanda are going home. And NO ONE is going to take Todd to the finals. They will take Courtney because she is worthless.

I would not say it is a 50% chance. Maybe 33% :)

Recap of last week:

Peih-Gee won immunity to keep herself alive in Survivor: China Episode 12. Unable to convince an admittedly outcast Denise to get rid of Todd, Erik ended up going home as could have been expected.
The reward challenge involves a replica of an early Chinese repeating crossbow. Each contestant gets arrows and must decide who to give them to (anybody but themselves), then they’ll shoot the arrows they get and try to connect with targets containing their name.
Peih-Gee: 1 arrow
Todd: 6 arrows
Denise: 2 arrows
Courtney: 12 arrows
Amanda: 4 arrows
Pretty telling results.
Peih-Gee misses with her only arrow.
Denise connects once.
Amanda hits Denise twice to give her the lead at 3.
Todd scores 5.
Courtney hits herself, Denise, Amanda, Todd, Denise two more times, Todd, and Denise twice more.
Denise wins reward. Because Courtney gave her the reward (albeit accidentally), she chooses her. She’s given the offer to choose another person and decides against Peih-Gee because she says she doesn’t want her to get stronger (but not quietly enough for Peih-Gee to not overhear). Peih-Gee’s clearly upset. Amanda’s left out as well, as Denise picks Todd. The reward is a trip to the Great Wall of China.
While back at camp, Peih-Gee and Amanda take the time to start building a relationship. Todd’s pretty confident Amanda will get over not being taken because he doesn’t think she has any options but to stick with him. Courtney’s also happy with the decision because she’s more afraid of Todd than Amanda.
Amanda tells Peih-Gee she’s open to switching things up. Todd’s also pondering it, and he poses the question whether it would be a good idea to take out Amanda if Peih-Gee wins immunity again. Denise doesn’t know where she stands with Todd.
When they get back from reward, Todd and Courtney are complaining about the food. Neither Peih-Gee nor Amanda are pleased with this.
Amanda doesn’t trust a word Todd says because he’s willing to do whatever it takes to win.
The immunity challenge is a combination of previous challenges. The first round is throwing stars. Peih-Gee scores 2. Denise scores 6. Amanda scores 3. Courtney scores 2. Todd scores 1 and is out. Next is eating balut. Amanda finishes first. Peih-Gee finishes second. Courtney finishes third. Denise is unable to finish as she was the first time and is out. The next round is bouncing a ball on a [COLOR=#27406f! important][COLOR=#27406f! important]drum[/COLOR][/COLOR]. Amanda finishes first. Peih-Gee finishes second. Courtney is out. The final round is knot cutting/puzzle solving. Amanda gets her puzzle pieces first. Peih-Gee never manages to catch up, and Amanda wins immunity.
If they’re gonna shake things up, now’s the time to do it, and I think most of them are smart enough to realize it. The only question is whether they’re willing to act on it, or just take the easy road and get rid of Peih-Gee.
Amanda pitches the idea of getting rid of Todd to Denise. They’re both considering it but not convincingly behind it. Todd will be ****** off if he gets blindsided, but he’s in this as a player, so he seems like he would understand.
Once again, Peih-Gee’s very vocal at tribal council, letting her feelings about Todd and Courtney be known.
Votes:
Peih-Gee
Todd
Peih-Gee
Peih-Gee
Like her or not, Peih-Gee’s played this game aggressively from the beginning, but the numbers have finally caught up with her. I wouldn’t have wanted to face her in the end either. If nothing else came from this episode, Amanda just secured herself another jury vote
