Survivor Panama Exile Island Thread

[BroadwayBomber55]

Week 9 - InGame Play By Play 3rd Period

"is that a worm?"

You gotta at least look for the idol.

Whoa, what were those birds in the water? Cormorants?

A beer vendor in the lower bowl seats: Yes we have, but we don't usually look at anyone's privates in front of TV cameras. That would be enough to make me giggle.

probably

I wish Cirie told Shane he had Jungle rot in his crotch and it was gonna fall off!!!

Can Aras stay exiled permamently?

He has trouble wrapping his mind around the clues. Newsflash, its because your an idiot Aras Crowd chanting: YOU F'ED UP! YOU F'ED UP!

Another Survivor fan in the upper deck: What the hell did Courtney have? It reminds me of the little deal with the lemon on the end that I had as a kid. What was that called? You'd put it around your ankle and jump over it.

Wow, Bruce can actually sketch pretty good.

Wow, Bruce is a damn good artist.
Think these will end up on ebay?

A Survivor fan in the skybox seats: Sally, freaking forget Terry. He's only going to drag you down. Find someone else to team up with.

A cotton candy vendor in the upper deck: Shane is the most worthless piece of crap I've ever seen. I hate his attitude. Even with Terry and I don't even really like Terry.

ow, this one looks hard too. Hmmm, let me think . . . Cerie will not do that well.

Oogie, food reward if you don't want to do the challenge.

Leaving Aras alone to fry. Pretty obvious where he stands.

I swear, I'd vote out anyone that ate no matter what my alliance was.

It would be too funny if they got the puzzle done in about 30 seconds.

[BroadwayBomber55]

Week 9 - Inside Tribal Council

A Survivor radio color commentator in the media gondola: I'll give Sally this; she's not bitter or venegeful. Most people that had been in her shoes would have jumped shipped to the other side even if they knew they weren't going to make it any farther that way. But they would have gone after the person who intended to get rid of them. I wish she'd quit relying on Terry so much.

A bartender in the Reality TV Bar: I hope all the eaters get diarrhea! I hope they all die of food poisoning.

These folks are might cocky aren't they? I wish one of em gets voted out tonite.

Chances are one of them will. I don't know why or how, but anytime someone has gone out and been overly confident they wind up getting the boot or their alliance crumbles (Rotu and Steph's little group spring to mind).

Stuff your face as fast as possible? Yeah, that's a good idea after three weeks of nothing.

A Sally fan in the lower bowl seats: C'mon Sally. I still have faith in you to be a good Survivor.

Terry wins... again. Bye, Sally.

We don't know if any sort of deal was struck during reward though

Shane urges those contesting to take their time. I dislike him a lot, but that was funny.

Oh, surprise, Terry wins immunity again, and everyone has to stop eating.

they choke on the burges when he does

LOL Shane is disgusting when he eats like that!

A Nick fan in the upper deck: Shane is disgusting in most instances. I must say though, crazy and arrogant as he is, he isn't the worst this show has seen.

I'd be pissed if my so-called alliance left me out there on my own!

How do you eat two burgers when you haven't had real food in so long? Crowd chanting: holy sh*t!

A photographer on press row: Shane should be scared to death after mouthing off to Terry about being gone. Terry is now safe and can keep Sally safe. That leaves you very unsafe Shane.

Could tonight be the night that the Casaya alliance unravels?

It's a shame Terry and Sally and Austin couldn't have brought in Bruce, Cirie or even Danielle. These groupings have been great opportunities for dealing. Now with double immunity they have ONE SHOT.

Sally is finally playing a little smart. Finally.

Terry's gonna keep spinning this until someone's stupid enough to buy it.

Courtney is such an new age airhead

Cirie isn't the brightest bulb on the tree.

Why not try to sway Aras?

Terry finally realizes that he wouldn't look like such a threat if he'd come up with the numbers. Too bad he sacrificed them all.

Cirie you too are an idiot. He's won 3 out of the immunities, it looks incredibly possible he'll go on a run and when he finally does lose, you will have already been booted.

I wonder if the stretcher scene will happen after courtney catches herself on fire?

[RhodeyYankee2638]

im rooting for Terry to win, but 2 weeks ago he shoulda gave away the immunity idol to make it a 4-5 disadvantage instead of 6-3. its easier to get 1 person to switch over than 2


i def. think that one of the chicks is gonna win, cause they are flying under the radar. shane and aras have huge targets painted on their backs, and Terry is a goner as soon as he loses

[BroadwayBomber55]

Week 9 - The Verdict

Austin is in the jury! Yeah!

Austin looks yummy cleaned up

you tell 'em Jeff

Danielle is so annoying. Crowd chanting: SLUT towards Danielle.

Thank you Jeff for calling out Danielle on her own cockiness. Crowd chanting: YOU F'ED UP! to Danielle

A Survivor fan in the luxury box suites: I just KNOW that none of them will flip with Terry and Sally. This show is so predictable anymore.

Wow! Sally's out!

Of course she doesn't have it. What a waste. Crowd boos at the decision.

A Survivor TV color commentator in the upper deck: Sorry, but Terry cannot play this game any worse than he has. He's lucky he's so strong at the challenges because strategy-wise, he is tanking. Another La Mina bites the dust. This season has been way too predictable. I absolutely hate it!

A Terry fan in the upper deck: It would have been incredibly stupid for Terry to give it up at this point in the game. He can lose an immunity challenge now, and he probably wont lose more than one. Terry makes the final 2 now. Book it.

I thought for sure Terry would give it to her. For all the cockiness they accuse Terry of, every single one of them is pretty cocky. I hope he wins every one of them so they choke on their own gloating as the sit on the jury.

[BroadwayBomber55]

im rooting for Terry to win, but 2 weeks ago he shoulda gave away the immunity idol to make it a 4-5 disadvantage instead of 6-3. its easier to get 1 person to switch over than 2

I'm also picking Terry to win, but the numbers game is overwhelming.

[BroadwayBomber55]

Week 9 - PostMortem

Wow. Terry wins another immunity challenge and Sally is out.

A lot of people in the crowd inside the Reality TV Arena said that Terry is dumb and he's playing the game wrong, not givin' up the immunity idol to Sally.

I don't think Terry should've given the idol to Sally. The odds are stacked against him and he's playing for a million bucks. No way would I give it up!

This is everyone for themselves. Sure, you can make a mini-alliance and try to gang up on someone, but it's everyone for themselves. These seven remaining contestants have to know what's at stake: $1,000,000.

There is absolutely no way should Terry have given up the idol to Sally or anyone else. To not have the idol would mean he would have to win three more immunities in a row. That is statistically unlikely. This way, he has a better shot at making the final four, at which point, everyone will want to keep him because they'd like to go to the final two with him -- thinking that he would get fewer votes.

If Terry does keep winning the immunity idol until the final five, he can basically throw the challenge and kick off whoever he wants to, turning them against each other.

I wouldn't have given it up if I were Terry either. However, if I were at the bottom of the Casaya totem pole, I would have jumped ship and went with Terry and Sally to the final four. Cirie and Bruce are completely deluded if they don't think they'll be the next to go since Terry is safe for at least one more TC.

I hope it's not serious like that regarding the stretcher scene. Maybe it's Bruce and his stomach hurting (in the previews).

[RhodeyYankee2638]

I'm also picking Terry to win, but the numbers game is overwhelming.

they know he has immunity now cause he showed one of them. that puts them in a predicament, do they vote for him to get him to waste his idol? do they try something tricky?

[SI Baseballman]

I'm definately betting that it's Bruce leaving next week as the Medical Emergency. I wish he would have stayed around though.

I love how Probst called Danielle out at TC.

Terry can get himself down to the finals easily. He'll probably get a bye the week that the medical emergency happens (next week with Bruce?), and he'll have a get out of jail free card with HI. After that he'll have to somehow convince the Casaya women to give Aras the boot. Out of the final 5 IC's, he only has to win 3.

[RhodeyYankee2638]

Did you guys think Terry shoulda tried to team with Aras? Even if Sally got voted out, I think Aras flopping wooulda pissed Shane and the chicks off enough to boot him over Terry

[NYDCYankee]

I think the males might turn on the females.

[Luvtino]

I really like Sally so I hated to see her go. This season has been much too predictable thus far. Hopefully that ends next week. I am a little surprised no one has jumped ship as of yet as all 6 can't make it to the finals. What are they waiting for?!

Danielle didn't tell her team that Terry has the II which was a smart move on her part. Does Bruce know as well?! I believe he does, but I can't see him selling Terry out.

I respected Aras for taking part in the IC. It was a smart move on his part in more ways that one. Funny how his team wants Terry out so bad that they all sat on their butss and ate. I know they feel secure, but that was a dumb move not to mention a very cocky one.

I was wondering if Aras was going to jump ship because he was annoyed with them. If they could have pulled Bruce to their side it would have been a completely different game. The girls also could have chosen to band together, but they are outnumbered now.

The 6 members of Casaya will eventually turn bitter as they turn on one another. That could help Terry if he makes it far enough in game, but Terry should play the game like Tom did from here on out. Tom won not only because he was a great athlete, but because he was respected as well.

[Luvtino]

Yes, I did. Aras was annoyed and he might have been ripe for the picking.

[Luvtino]

I think the males might turn on the females.

That could also happen. Numbers are on their side if they want to go this route.

[BroadwayBomber55]

I think the males might turn on the females.

I also think so as well.

I also see Terry winning IC after IC before the Final 2. If he loses the final IC, he won't be voted out.

The six of them could have each taken a puzzle piece and memorized it and just let one person get immunity. Is there anything against the rules having those 6 all swim out together and just giving the answer to one person (anyone but Terry and Sally)?

Aras should have been the guy Terry worked on.

Looks like next week, we get a "pecking order" reward challange. Should be very interesting.

That's an excellent idea. They were all so worried about eating burgers that winning the IC seems to have gone to the wayside.

I think Shane said he was going to turn the game or something to that effect in the coming attractions. It looked like it was said to Aras with Terry sitting there so maybe the men will come together as a new alliance.

I've been waiting for that clip for weeks since they aired it on the clip show. I wonder if CBS screwed up, showing that preview clip too soon. It did give away that Shane was going nowhere until that segment airs.

[Big_E]

Tom won not only because he was a great athlete, but because he was respected as well.

Tom won because he played with the biggest bunch of idiots ever to be stranded on Survivor.

[smr15]

Didn't you find it funny that Danielle accused Terry of arrogance?
Really..... that group of them are insufferable.

.....and her wearing her Boston cap hasn't endeared her to me much either ! ha. :classic:

[RhodeyYankee2638]

I think the males might turn on the females.

I see the opposite happening. If Terry was smart, he would side with the girls and knock off the guys 1 by 1. The only people I could see beating Terry in a challenge is Aras or Danielle. I really like Aras, at least he is trying to play the game while Shane, Bruce, Danielle and Courtney are just going along for the ride

[boo_427]

Cerie sure has quietly gotten down to the nitty gritty.

My of Shane before the season starts could go either way.

Terry is so mentally determined in these challenges it is amazing.

[yankeesAZ]

On the Early Show, Sally was on an they showed two "secret" scenes.

One showing Terry right before TC offering Courtney "guaranteed final 3" if she flipped. Courtney said something about maybe down the road they could work something out, but Terry (with Sally there) told her "right now or never". Courtney said something like "she could not take this kind of pressure." The other scene showed Sally saying to Terry not to give up the hidden idol "for me".

My guess is the Sally's closing comments saying she was "disappointed that Terry did not give me the idol", was more of a general statement and not any il will towards him.

it wuldn't have been smart to give it away last night. right now, he is guarenteed to be in the top 6.

[yankeesAZ]

it wuldn't have been smart to give it away last night. right now, he is guarenteed to be in the top 6.

Of course not. It would not have been smart the last 3 weeks, but I give the producers credit for trying to lead us to believe for a second Terry may give it up.

[RhodeyYankee2638]

Of course not. It would not have been smart the last 3 weeks, but I give the producers credit for trying to lead us to believe for a second Terry may give it up.

I love how he has actually showed the immunity idol to them, both Bruce and Danielle, and they still don't believe he has it. They really arent that smart

[yankeesAZ]

I know. "It looked like some furry idol"...."Maybe Terry just happened to find it in the jungle"...etc

[RhodeyYankee2638]

I know. "It looked like some furry idol"...."Maybe Terry just happened to find it in the jungle"...etc

Also, Aras knows full well that after Terry, he is the next to go, and he blatantly tells his "team" that he didn't find the immunity idol. Real bright kid

[BroadwayBomber55]

Week 10 - InGame Play By Play 1st Period

Crowd filing inside the Reality TV Arena...

A Survivor fan in the front row wired for sound: MUST they show Shane's nasty gut sticking out like that? Just what we need, another look at Shane's stuffed face

Flies, buzzards, and dead turtles. Not a good omen...

A bartender in the Reality TV Bar: Has anyone ever commented that they named their merged team for jeans? "Gitano" Or is that only showing my age? I have no idea if Gitano jeans even exist anymore.

Survivor: Panama Exile Island! Now 1000% more predictable than ever!

Playbook says...

Terry seems to think he can use the idol at the final four.

They only have to stop using it when there's only 3 of them left.

Knowing you are going to be voted out, would you do anything to help out at the camp? If I was Terry I would be resting the entire time.

Terry's ready to watch the Casayans turn on each other.

Any chance they'll start cooking each other when they get hungry enough?

Yikes, is Bruce going to be the one taken out on a stretcher?

A Survivor fan in the upper deck: So what are the current mini-alliances? Or are there still people dumb enough to be lone gunning it? (besides Terry, who has no choice)

These idiots in pain because they sped ate.

at Cirie giving her doll boobs!

A cotton candy vendor in the upper deck: Yikes! Bruce needs some Ex-Lax!

Is Shane going to add a rash to his doll?

Snerk!

They really don't look very thrilled with those dolls, do they?

A Bruce fan in the lower bowl seats: Terry is going to suck at this RC

Pecking order challenge always offends someone.

Answer "terry" for every question so you don't show your tribemates what you really think of them!

Shane, Bruce, Aras, Cirie, and Courtney all seem to have had hate spewed at them from the entire rest of the group at various points. Hard to tell who's top of the hate chain now.

Danielle seems to be the sleeper in the group.

These "How well do you know your fellow Survivor" challenges are always enlightening.

That's not what this is though. This is the so-called "groupthink" challenge. It's a "who realizes the groupthink best" challenge, followed by pecking order.

A Survivor TV insider in the media gondola: Voodoo dolls. Hmmmm, I suspect this won't be the only time Shane burns in the pits of hell.

Symbolic burning at the stake. Love it!

That was a given they would take out Terry 1st.

I chose Courtney for talks the most

Terry didn't stand a chance. Too bad it wasn't an immunity challenge, though he has the idol so it's not like it'd matter. These pecking order challenges are always interesting. I laugh everytime I think of how the Rotu 4 screwed themselves with it.

What a question. Of course you, Shane, think you are running the game.

Bruce is the 2nd out of the game. I hope he realizes what that means.

Well, at least with the exception of Terry and Bruce they aren't making it obvious with the order.

Terry? I would have guessed Shane for not trusting someone with your life.

[BroadwayBomber55]

Week 10 - InGame Play By Play 2nd Period

What is a poser?

The biggest POSER!
Courtney - I totally agree with that one! Crowd chanting: holy sh*t!

Get all mad about losing Shane. I am

I love these catfights.

Shane's pissed that Courtney hit him twice! Crowd chanting: THIS IS AWESOME!

So much for the team sticking together

Shane - still such an a$$!! Such a cry baby. You hit me twice-waaaaahhhh.

Courtney IS a poseur. They DID get that one right.
InShane moody? No, he is inshane.

"Shane down to his last rope". I bet he's heard variations of that his whole life.

Shane is such a little bitch. He complained about EVERY SINGLE THING. But if anyone had argued with him about his hits? Come on. Crowd chanting: CRYBABY! to Shane.

Shane reminds me of one of those annoying kids at recess who gets upset when you won't let them play with you.

I think everyone's reactions are more fun than the actual challenge.

I think Shane and Coutney should be tied for moodiest and for poseur.

A beer vendor in the lower bowl seats: Talk about being a child...Shane does not know how to lose. I can't wait until they vote him OUT!

Shane is waking up and smelling the coffee and so is Courtney.

Terry was way too obvious. Bruce and Danielle maybe finally realizing where they stand (doubt it). Shane's taking this way too seriously. Courtney's apparently an annoying poser.

Cirie wins the challenge. How does Aras think that Terry wouldn't survive on his own?

Aras knew the answer was Cirie, he threw that

no wonder he didn't want to win

Shane better cool it or he will be going home soon.

A Survivor fan in the Reality TV Bar: Cirie is such a dumbass. Sending Terry to Exile means that YOU Cirie can't negotiate with him and the pecking order which excluded her from Day 1 goes back in place Which means she's up near the front of the boot order, after Bruce probably.

Courney, Shane, and Bruce all alone in camp together. Will they make a final three alliance? No, because Shane and Courtney hate each other, and neither has any respect for Bruce.

Courtney and Shane really need to grow up!

I can't wait for the Final 2 showdown if tonight is any indication of how these pinheads will act.

Why does Shane think he's above not being picked?

Those questions were such a set up. The answer of "cerie" were really not offending questions while "Courtney and Shane" answers were meant to prove bad feelings from them.

At last Terry knows beyond a doubt what they think of each other

I think that Terry should keep what happened in this challenge in mind and really work on Cirie
and the girls.

now we know the sub allainces, it's not Aras/Shane and Courtney/Danielle

A Survivor radio insider in the media gondola: I think Cirie made the right choices. She doesn't want to piss off one of her own group by sending one of them to Exile Island - no harm sending Terry. And she left the right 3 back at camp. There won't be any strategy going on there.

Cirie- Enjoy you little stay at the top honey, cuz you just pissed off Shane and we know he is gonna go all postal on you. Eat up girl - then go back to camp and barf on him.

Ciere has the cutest laugh!

Shane is devestated.

Here goes Shane with the conspiracy theories. I guess that challenge did reveal a pecking order (at least in Shane's warped mind). Shane and Courtney having a pity party. This is hilarious. Grow the hell up, people! Crowd chanting: SHUT THE F UP to both Shane and Courtney.

Did Shane just accuse Courtney of taking the game personal? What the heck did you do Shane, you whined like the little boy you are.

Oh.Come.On!! This is a REVELATION to Courtney that she is ANNOYING??

Shane thinks COURTNEY is taking this stuff too personally. Someone hand HIM a mirror, eh?

And Shane doesn't take anything personally

Bruce is in pain.

Looks like Bruce will be the one taken out. Preview said "life or death". So, TPTB let him get DEATHLY ill? Isn't that rather negligent?

Bruce is severly constipated. He's lying down.

Shane: YOu gotta hurry up and get better. we need you.

[BroadwayBomber55]

Week 10 - InGame Play By Play 3rd Period

Poor Bruce. Couldn't Cirie give him an enema or something?

Where would she get an enema? You can't exactly use seawater. And how would you pipe it in?

This is only halfway through the ep. Do they boot someone else in addition to er... eliminating Bruce? (assuming the "life and death" tease is correct)

Cirie you are suppose to shut up during a massage and relax and enjoy.

A Survivor fan in the skybox seats: EWWW! EWWW! EWWW! Aras and Danielle think Courtney has a huge crush on Shane! Barf bag! Quick!

Hmmm...is Bruce having gall bladder issues? Or a bowel obstruction?

All Bruce would have to say is I need medical attention and he would get it immediately, he is trying to stay in the game.

I feel bad for Bruce.

Crowd giving Bruce a standing ovation.

What he is describing sounds like gallbladder...

Medical assistance has arrived to take care of Bruce.

If Bruce leaves, then that would leave Shane/Courtney on the island together tonight...I can see one of them getting killed.
HELL YES Shane they need him moved right this second.

A Terry fan in the front row: SHUT THE F UP Shane. You douchebag.

as bruce goes into seizures courtney asks bruce: "are you okay".

good god, she's a smart one!

A Survivor TV color commentator in the media gondola: Not if he has to leave the camp, I'd bet.

Now that his other allies have deserted him, Shane is now Bruce's best buddy and wants him to stay since he needs his vote.

Ew. I hate the Viking Funeral music. Makes me want to punch the sound and music editors. It's kind of an insensitive choice if you think about it.

Bruce is in a world of hurt right now. He's questionable for the rest of the season.

Poor Bruce...I hate that he had to be taken out like that. And to be carried out by a naked Shane, of all things.

With this kind of pain and the tests he'll need to rule out several things, I think they'll need to keep him at least a day but I don't think he'll be back even after that.

So now Courtney and Shane are forming a mini-alliance.

A peanut vendor in the upper deck: I would look at Shane and tell him no way would I have his back for anything.
So did Shane just hear Shane threaten Courtney. Please kick him OUT

Coutney said that Bruce being taken away was the cherry on top of the fudge sundae for her??

Shane just threatened Courtney's life with cameras rolling. He's InShane.

Mike Skupin from Season 2 is the only one that had to be removed due to injury.

Driving over to her apartment and killing her? That was suppose to be a joke? oh yeah, I'm laughing....NOT Crowd really booing Shane.

[BroadwayBomber55]

Week 10 - Inside Tribal Council

A Survivor radio color commentator in the media gondola: Why don't you two just kiss and get it over with?

why don't they just get a room and get it over with???

A Survivor fan in the Reality TV Bar: Everything is always about Courtney...

Except for Shane's death threat.

Um... I'm actually with Courtney on this one. If Shane threatened to kill me I'd be pretty unnerved too.

I have noticed that when a Casaya member has won a food reward, they never bring anything back for the others.

It's getting kind of late in the show to have an immunity challenge and a tribal council vote.

there's no way she weighs 300 lbs.

at Aras's reaction to Shane.

Nice to see they don't hold a grudge. Though that challenge was crooked.

This whole threatening people attitude of Shane just seems to be digging his own grave.

I've had my issues with Aras before this, but I'm kinda liking him now.

Cirie tries to mend fences.

Shane sure swears on his son's life a lot.

for a person who claims to love his son a lot, he's quick to cheapen his son's life a lot.

If the women would THINK, they would align themselves with Terry, vote out Aras/Shane, then Terry.

With Bruce gone, why would they need Terry's vote any more than Shane's?

Shane Kissed Cerie! Crowd chanting: WHAT THE F?

Everybody is swearing on thier kid's lives. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!

Cirie is an idiot for swearing on her kids' lives.

I thought Shane gave up on swearing on his son's life.

Shane's really delusional if he thinks he's controlling anything. Didn't he learn anything from the challenge?

Sling that BS, Cirie. Hee!

Oooh, Shane's gonna turn the game. Just what does he think he can do by himself?

Shane has totally lost it out there. All that's missing is a volleyball named "Wilson"

and he'd probably get into a fight with `Wilson' then `kill' him ...

Shane never brought "it" with him, so how could he lose it. He's been insane from day one.

Horror Show: Courtney and Shane in the final two. Fortunately, I don't think that is at all likely!

Shane just stated he controls that threesome. And one of the questions was who thinks they run the show? Didn't Shane get pissed that the answer was him? Idiot!

Judging by the time, I guess Bruce is out of the game.

Bruce will kill her for ruining his rock garden!

Shane claims it would be a dream to go up against Courtney in the Final 2. I'm sure the others think it would be a dream to go up against him.

[BroadwayBomber55]

Week 10 - The Verdict

Jeff is even coming to the island...Bruce is gone.

I think Courtney meant the day was so Sh*tty, with all the stuff she found out in the challenge, that Bruce getting taken away was the capper to complete the crap day she had

A boat approaches with Terry and Probst.....

We just have received word from the medical staff that Bruce has major internal blockage. He's out of the game. It has been addressed over the PA and crowd chanting: GET WELL BRUCE! GET WELL BRUCE!

Wow...poor Bruce. I suspect he is okay now, but that just sucks. Total blockage.

If Bruce is lucky, the doctor may let him come back for the jury.

So no tribal council, they're safe for one more week and Bruce will be fine. Terry doesn't need to work for his survival this week. That means Terry is fresh.

From a game standpoint, nobody ever had to stab Bruce in the back (like they would have soon), and Terry gets yet another lucky break.

A Survivor fan in the luxury box suites: Why the little suggestive sound effect when they showed Courtney was down the beach by herself?

Will they retrieve an earlier boot for the jury if Bruce can't be on it?

So... there's WON'T be a boot this week? Grrr. I still wanted one, as viewer-selfish as that sounds. They could have just added a clip show.

Um. Bruce's families message? I hate to say it, but it was kind of creepy.

I thought it was really inappropriate, too. Talking about firing up the grill and chowing down when the poor guy can't eat right now.

The Casayans may have ended up voting Bruce off tonight anyway, but they may have taken out Terry's idol at the same time. So now they're stuck with Terry for at least 2 more votes.

Horror Show: Courtney and Shane in the final two. Fortunately, I don't think that is at all likely!

Bigger Horror Show: Courtney and Shane dating

Next week: Shane pretends to have a Blackberry.

Awww poor Bruce. Too bad he had to go out this way.

Week 10 - PostMortem

No tribal council this week, but Bruce has to forced out of the competition due to injury or illness.

I feel bad for Bruce. He did so well early in the season. IMHO, he was one of the favorites to win it all early in the season.

That was a serious injury to him and I wish him the best.

In terms of drama, you have Shane going wild again. Courtney and Shane hated each other since they were teammates. Will Courtney and the rest of the crew have a chance to gang up on Shane next week?

With Bruce gone, there's no immunity challenge this week and Terry gets more rest. No need for him to sacrifice his other immunity idol that he found in Exile Island earlier in the season.

[RhodeyYankee2638]

So Terry is automatically into the top 5. This group is really dumb, I dont see them breaking with each other, so Terry may get to chose who goes if he doesn't win immunity

And Terry would (and should) choose Aras, because that's the person who is the biggest physical threat to him.
With Aras out of the game, Terry can have an even greater percentage of certainty in winning the immunity challenges.

[Luvtino]

Poor Bruce. Tough way to go out of the game, but he really had no choice other than to leave. I am glad he will be okay. I hope he makes it back to serve on the jury. Feel better.

Terry is my fave and I am hoping he wins. It will be interesting to see whose name comes up next week should Terry win II. Aras is the most physically imposing after Terry so he is definitely at risk. Shane is nuttier than a fruitcake and I would love to see him go home. I can only imagine his reaction.

[NYDCYankee]

All I have to say is tonight we may have seen Survivors funniest moment when Bruce was writhing in pain and Courtney asked him if she could sing him a "Help" song. Of course he said no.


But she thought it was a good idea to sing it anyway. Bruce didn't have much strength but he had enough strength to give her a forceful "Don't".

I laughed and laughed.

Tough break for Bruce. Great week for Terry for obvious reasons.

I think Shane deserves a spot on the "Mt. Rushmore of Survivor heels": Hatch, Hawk, Fairplay, Shane.

I was thinking this, but I dont think he deserves to be up there with any of them, simply because all of them were surrounded by strong players, Shane isn't. I'd say the Mount Rushmore of Heels is Hatch, Brian Heidik, Johnny Fairplay and Boston Rob

[boo_427]

Intestinal bursitis is no freakin' joke. Same thing happened to my dad 11 years ago.

Very painful and very serious.

Cerie just keeps sneaking her way through.

Boston Rob is #5 on my list. Brian, who was one of the great Survivor players in history IMO, never got angry or raised his voice towards anyone. He did quietly screw a couple people over and was cold and calculating. He definitely was a top 10 heel, but did not incite the same level of hatred Shane or Fairlplay have.

i think he is annoying, not necessarily a heel. I think Boston Rob is #2 in my book. He had the BEST survivors around him, and screwed over ever single one of them, and was an ass about it.

[yankeesAZ]

i think he is annoying, not necessarily a heel. I think Boston Rob is #2 in my book. He had the BEST survivors around him, and screwed over ever single one of them, and was an ass about it.

My heel rankings:

HM: Rob C-Never told a lie he didn't like and a very smart player.

#5 Boston Rob-A very calculated manipulator, who would let the public know just how "smart" he was. Could be higher on the list for Yankee fans for being a Sox fan.

#4 Hawk-Not the biggest heel during the 1st season (could easily be switched with Rob), but that final TC speech is so legendary, she has to be near the top.

#3 Shane-Begged and pleaded to be voted off, annoyed every tribe mate and most TV viewers, but yet is still there. Even his own alliance is smart enough not to take him to a relaxing day at a spa.

#2 Hatch-"No way would people vote for him to win! No way!" That's what many viewers were saying. He lied and screwed over everyone and anyone and set the standard for how the game is played today.

#1 Fairplay, very Shane-like annoying to his tribe. With all the people who swore on family members lives, we wondered who, if anyone would ever "go there" with using a family member to their advantage. He did just that. In an Oscar winning performance he invoked his "dead Grandmother" and it did get him slightly further in the game and even some viewers for a second had some sympathy for him. Then we all find out its a big lie and his strategy from day one was to play the "heel" and it did briefly launch a pro wrestling career as a "heel".

[RhodeyYankee2638]

lol not to mention Hatch is now a felon

[NYDCYankee]

Go Shane.

Week 11 - InGame Play By Play 1st Period

Crowd filing inside the Reality TV Arena...

Poor Bruce. I wonder how he's doing?

A Survivor fan in the front row wired for sound: Let's all chant untill it becomes true "Shane begone! Shane begone! Shane begone!"

InShane in the Membrane! InShane in the Blackberry!

I am excited to see if Terry can keep up his domination at immunity.

Day 28 on the island. They're fishing with hermit crabs for bait. Why not use Shane for bait?

A Survivor TV insider in the media gondola: How fake is this blackberry thing from Shane? We are not stupid

Shane is using a stone age Blackberry. How come the cavemen didn't think of that?

Shane thinks his new BlackBerry is allowing him to communicate with people off the island. *rolleyes*

Ah well, at least he's wearing pants tonight.

Why isn't this Blackberry insane posing obvious to these people as the fake out it is? I mean I suppose he's committed to it, since he's even telling the interviewers he believes in it.

Reward Challenge: teams of 3 in an obstacle course. Reward is another feast. Of course.

A Survivor radio insider in the media gondola: If Terry can make winners of Danielle and Courtney in this RC he truly is the master of challenges. Those two are pretty worthless most of the time.

Teams are Shane, Aras & Cirie vs Terry, Danielle & Courtney.

Gee whiz. Obstacle courses in the water are even harder than on land.

Doesn't look like Cirie, Aras, and Shane are even interested in playing

Well, this challenge is turning out to be pathetic.

Terry, Courtney, & Danielle are already on their way back, before the others are even up on the platform.

If you're that far behind, just save your energy for immunity.

Jeff just yelled at Cirie, Aras and Shane: "Get your asses out of the water and hurry up." Crowd chanting: holy sh*t! holy sh*t!

Terry, Danielle & Courtney blow the other 3 out of the water. So to speak.

Who goes to Exile Island? Aras. Shane says to Cirie, "More beans for us."

[BroadwayBomber55]

Week 11 - InGame Play By Play 2nd Period

Do I smell a car? or is it too early

Oh no. Another challenge for the winners. Will the "Curse of the Car" rear it's ugly head?

Sweet. A 2007 GMC Yukon

Aras should probably thank them for sending him to exile island, going there might be preferable than spending the day alone with Shane

Terry, like they don't all hate you ENOUGH!

Woohoo Terry wins again!

A Survivor fan in the upper deck: Perhaps Terry will break the car curse. It has to be broken sometime.

He had nothing to lose because those other people were never going to befriend him so he might as well win as much as he can while he is there.

I loved how Aras was just pitching Cirie around the obstacles. Of course the girls know Terry will pick Aras. They want him weak too.

Aras just lazes around Exile Island. He knows the idol isn't there.

Damn, those are some nice steaks.

These people are silly enough to believe they've got Terry beat. He's already got more votes than they do, and he won't have to stab anyone in the back.

Terry's talking strategy with the 2 gals. He lucked out with his "team" for that challenge. I don't think he'd have a hope of flipping Cirie or the boys.

What was that skewer/shishkebob thing that Courtney was cooking?

Hmmm, Danielle doesn't go along with Terry's plan.

How in the world did Cirie get tangled up in the ropes is beyond me.

A Survivor fan in the Reality TV Bar: Cirie isn't too dumb. She knows that Shane's only hope in F2 is to be sitting next to Courtney.

Giggly, squeamish Cirie catches a fish. On InShane's birthday.

Cirie drags the poor fish all the way back!

A cotton candy vendor in the lower bowl seats: *sigh* I'm so tired of Cirie's incessant giggling. I'm amused that she caught the fish, but all she does is giggle. Someone asks how she's feeling that day; Cirie giggles. Someone asks her who to vote off; Cirie giggles.
Stopppppppppp!

What, nobody makes Shane a wooden birthday cake?

[BroadwayBomber55]

Week 11 - InGame Play By Play 3rd Period

Day 30. Danielle wonders about Terry's idea for F2. She knows Courtney would be the better bet.

Terry wouldn't have had a hope to even win the challenge with Cirie on his team, never mind talk of flip-he'd have been exiled again

Here goes Courtney taking everything personally again Crowd boos at Courtney.

Courtney isn't thrilled with Terry and Danielle's idea of "fair". She figures if you made it as far as F3, it wasn't on a free ride.

I love the way they're rinsing the snails off in that nasty water like it's taking the germs away from the rocks.

Cirie isn't giggling any more. However, if Danielle goes with Cirie's strategy, DANIELLE will be lowest in the group.

Cirie points out to Danielle that Terry is probably lying about the "take whoever comes in 2nd" strategy. She knows he'd prefer to go with Courtney as well.

immunity challenge time.

That's an evil sounding challenge.

Immunity challenge they each have to hold their own weight.

A Survivor radio play by play man in the media gondola: why not wrap the end of the rope around your hand for a better grip? There's some room to do that

Cirie's gotta hold as much as the guys.

Bye bye, Shane.

Shane's the first one out of the Immunity Challenge. Crowd chanting: YOU TAPPED OUT! YOU TAPPED OUT!

Cirie is stronger than I thought. Maybe it's all that nursing, having to lift people, etc.

Terry and Courtney are in the zone

Cirie goes out next. I honestly thought she'd be out first. Danielle's out 3rd.

Aras is really struggling.

Cortney's so skinny she probably isn't holding much weight. She looks like she's in a trance.

YEEAAAHHHH!!!! A clean sweep for Terry! Another IC win. Crowd chanting: TERRY! TERRY! TERRY! TERRY!

Terry is gonna go down as the best Survivor ever.

Well, now Danielle had better make up her mind who she's going to ally with.

They should have them doing puzzles. Remember Rafe?

A Terry fan in the skybox seats: Terry rules! Eat that, Shane.

[BroadwayBomber55]

Week 11 - InGame Play By Play Inside Tribal Council

Terry's really tough. He looked like he was ready to go any second

Physical challenges appear to be Terry's best shot at staying in the game. Even Aras - who I thought would be a contender this time- was out quick.

So now we get to watch Casaya cannibalize itself. *rubs hands together in glee*

A Sally fan in the upper deck: I did not enjoy seeing Danielle's armpit hair.

Aras is the biggest threat? How'd she convince herself of that?

The plan is for Terry and the girls to vote out Aras, while Shane and Aras try to vote out Danielle.

For now.

I would love to see Courtney go home. Cannot stand her.

Cirie's got an interesting plan. Get rid of an annoyance and the most likely final two choice.

A beer vendor in the upper deck: Rats. Cirie has Aras' back and fills him in. Now Courtney is the target.

Lots of double crossin' going on! Crowd chanting: holy sh*t!

All this dealing has me confused. Bruce is back.

Bruce looks like he lost a lot of weight.

And Sally looks adorable.

Shane is gonna blow an artery when he finds out about Cirie/Aras/Danielle. Hee. Mayhem!

A Survivor fan in the luxury box suites: Cirie has just stepped up to the Machievellian plate (I hope I spelled that right).

I'm surprised to see that she's calling the shots now. I would be extremely disappointed if she actually wins this thing.
