Yes he put on his Joe Torre cap.. that was a smart move by the other team putting Sally out on Exile Island . i would have voted off Dan too.. He knew with no Sally that he was going . Terry could have just stabbed him in the back but he told him what was going to happen.. .I hope Terry wins..Originally Posted by NYDCYankee
The last few seasons, they have changed the pattern around for immunity challenges, because they knew contestants could count on an immunity challenge every three days and plot accordingly. Something is definitely up.
Survivor Panama Exile Island is back tonight at 8 PM ET/PT.

The dreaded annual 2-week NCAA break is over! I enjoyed the tourney, but nice to see Survivor back. The momentum on the show was going so well, I hated to see a 3-week layoff since the last original episode.
I agree. I wish they would have given us a new episode last Wednesday.
Week 7 - InGame Play By Play 1st Period
Crowd filing inside the Reality TV Arena...expect heavy security tonight.
A Survivor fan in the front row wired for sound: I'm thinking all the Survivor guys will be sporting Rip Van Winkle beards, and the gals have hair down to their waists.
They should never again take 3 weeks off like this. Too many people will lose interest and not come back to watching
Cortney says: "Boohoohoo, I'm wet, I'm shivering, boohoohoo."
Why was Courtney the only one who got wet?
Sally's hoping to get lucky on Exile Island. Why, is Probst there?
merge time! Crowd chanting: PROBST! PROBST! PROBST!
A Sally fan in the upperdeck: One minute of seeing courtney after 3 weeks and already I want to smack her Crowd chanting: SHUT THE F UP to Courtney.
Terry has the right idea trying to sway Bruce. Wherever did he get the idea to try Shane? He'll probably know within 5 minutes waht a jerk he is

Now what will happen when Sally gets home from Exile Isalnd and nobody's there?
It would be like moving when your kids are away
NOW Inshane wants to be a team? NOW?
Haha.
Idiots are forgetting a little thing called individual immunity!Crowd chanting: holy sh*t!
Go ahead and chow down on the rice. That way they can eat all the real food when the feast comes.
Wow, eating all the food like that really says something about the people on that side. Very ugly.
What's the new tribe color? Brown?
They also need to remember they will be voting off jury members.
Ah, tribal unity . . . for as long as the feast lasts!Crowd chanting: WHAT WAS THAT?!
Did you all notice Shane said the shelter "they are building" not him.
Hee. Shane doesn't think Terry has the idol. What a maroon.
Will they get a total shock when Terry whips out the idol at tribal council.
A Survivor fan in the Reality TV Bar: I get that there is only one of these idols, but isn't a one time only in the game idol? What happens when it gets whipped out, do they revote, no. 2 goes or does the idol holder pick?
Idiot boy says he wants to make Bruce feel like the boss than he says to him "before I make any decisions I'll ask you".Shane and Aras are kissing Bruce's butt to keep him from switching sides!
A Survivor TV insider in the media gondola: They need to be hitting up Cirie
Well just SIT there. Bruce is bleeding.
That machette is the scariest thing ever! Crowd chanting: OMG!
Exactly how dumb do they think Bruce is?
Well, it turns out... pretty dumb. He seems to believe he actually matters.
Nice way to get an ally Nick! Stab him!
Oops! Mr. Swing Vote just got a machete to the face. Ouch. Crowd chanting: holy sh*t! holy sh*t!
I hope that Terry stays long enough for the votes to be between him and Shane, then let Terry pull out the Idol and Shane leaves...that would be too good
That idol's got way too much influence over how the game will go.
A Survivor radio insider in the media gondola: I'd go for Bruce and Cirie. They perform well in challenges and are easier personalities.
All of Casaya but Bruce sat on their butts while the rest built the shelter-worthless bunch
Gypsies? They are not in Europe! There's no gypsies in Panama.
When exactly did lame whispering artist Bob Ross breed with Bruce Lee to create an offspring like our pal Bruce Chi?

Week 7 - InGame Play By Play 3rd Period
What the hell is Terry doing? I thought he was smarter than that.
Terry need to shut up!!!! He is offering most the same deal. They are going to talk.
Cirie and Shane aren't exactly jumping on Terry's bandwagon.
WOW! I like the Immunity necklace.
Time for individual immunity. Endurance challenge. Hanging upside down like a monkey! Yowza!
WHAT?! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!
Who will be first off? Blond chick, probably.
Even if the minority has two immunities, this is STILL taking us into predictible Pagong territory. Nobody is going to flip until MAYBE the very last person is left from the minority.
Oh lordy.... some of them have their face in the next person's ass. That could be deadly.
I wonder if Exile Island will still play a part in this? I would think they'd have to, but not sure how that will play out.
Preditions about who will fall first, who last.
I'm guessing Cirie first, um, last ... . just to be different, Nick.
The way this is setup, it would be very easy to kick someone in the head as you fall.
A Survivor fan in the skybox seats: I'd be so bad at this. My arms are very weak and I'd end up hanging by my legs and then falling and breaking my neck.
Cirie first out.
I'm surprised YogaBoy Aras slipped off so fast, he should have been able to keep his muscles in check.
Aras out next, then Bruce, then Sally. Shane begs for cheeseburgers.
It looks like a giant pig roast with all of them hanging there. Just light a fire under them.
Shane, Danielle, Courtney now out. 3 guys left.
A Survivor writer on press row: what would happen if they dropped together at the same exact time?
Terry proves he is the toughtest one there.
Terry wins immunity... he needed it. This way he didn't have to waste the idol. Smart move.
because it means just one more week he doesn't have to dig out his idol
There goes Shane's plan...Terry is there for one more week.
Terry COULD offer up one of his immunities for a price...
..but he won't.
What he's going to do now is try and win immunity as many weeks as possible.
That would be the smart thing to do and I wouldn't be surprised if he could pull it off.
A beer vendor in the upperdeck: I got the best twist....
whomever is voted out gets to decide who goes next to Exile Island.
They better start re-thinking the "I'm safe where i'm at" strategy. Way to go Terry. That's just a preview of the IC to come now that he doesn't have teammates dragging his efforts to win down.
As soon as Terry doesn't win immunity, he's out, and this way he ensures it's one of his buddies going home. Unless he can somehow swing the numbers. It's everyone for themselves after the merge.
A Survivor TV color commentator on press row:
Terry should have let one of the other two guys win the challenge, and used his immunity. That way, it would have been one of the other tribe members to get the boot (since it goes to the one with the second highest number of votes, right?) It's unlikely, that Terry will go far enough the way the numbers are now to use his hidden immunity idol to make it to the final four. That's just my own opinion.
A cotton candy vendor in the lower bowl seats: Oh I hope Shane does something offensive before tc to remind them why they all hated him yesterday. I want him off. He drives me nuts.
Another Survivor fan in the upperdeck: If Terry had let Austin or Nick win Immunity, he could have gotten the numbers on his side. Now one of his team will be voted out. His group could have targeted anyone he wanted, like Shane, and the next highest votes would go. THAT is the real power of the immunity idol this season.
Terry also knows at this point that the only way he will EVER swing the numbers is to let his teammates be silently eliminated until he is the sole one left and becomes the swing vote for the power blocks in the other tribe.

Week 7 - Inside Tribal Council
Why does Austin think he's on the chopping block. Nick lasted longer. Hmmm, Austin claims he was putting on a performance of weakness.
Oh, it would be so so lovely if Shane were sent home and never went to jury.
A Survivor fan outside the Reality TV Arena: Can't Terry still offer his immunity to one of his other teammates at TC? Then when they try to vote him off instead, he whips out his idol. So then both are safe this week.
Huh? No way. If he'd given an Immunity to a teammate then what would have happened is that a THIRD member of his team would have gone instead.
It was a no-win scenario.
The only possible use of the extra immunity is, as he said, as a bribe to someone on the other team. But even then it's a long shot, because people lie.
Austin's strategy is to pretend to be weak.
Nick is already finding Shane annoying. Crowd chanting: SHANE SUCKS!
Unfortunately, Nick will probably not be around to find him annoying any longer.
What does that tattoo say on Shane's chest? It looks like "Dumbass"...
Shane is going to get his when he least expects it.
Did I miss Sally swinging all ready? She has to realize she will be on the chopping block soon.
A Bruce fan in the upperdeck: Oh please let Bruce and Cirie vote with the La Mina folks.
(I'm dreaming, I know.)
Jeff normally asks the immunity winner if he wants to give his immunity to someone else. He gives it to Austin... then Shane and his team decide to vote out Terry. All of Terry's team votes off Shane... all of Shane's team votes off Terry. Terry whips out the idol... Shane gets booted.
Voila! (But it won't happen.)
A Survivor radio insider on press row: If the person gives up the Immunity then that person is on the block too, so that senario will not work. Good thinking though
SHUT UP AUSTIN! What a numbskull!

Week 7 - The Verdict
Austin is a moron. He just solidified his vote. dumbass
Austin votes for Shane. Courtney votes for Nick.
Sally did flop.....dumb move right now.
Courtney voted for Nick. Does that mean all of Casaya voted for Nick?
Did Bruce flip?
Mr. Probst's tally:
Shane - 4
Nick - 6
Nick is out. Crowd chanting: bullsh*t! And they're pouring beer on Shane.
Figures...so close to getting rid of that worm
What did Nick throw? Cirie caught it. Was it intended for her?
If we only knew for sure, the 2nd highest would be voted off, then this would have been the ideal time to have given Nick the idol.
Hmmm, interesting that they'd use the immunity idol after the vote! So if Nick had it, then I'm assuming the next highest vote getter would have been out.
For all the b*tching and moaning Courtney and Danielle do about Shane, they could have gotten rid of him right then and there and still kept the numbers on their side. They get what they deserve in the future.
What a boring episode.
Crowd not too happy tonight as some of the fans blurt out expletives at Shane. And the crowd is chanting: SLUT! at Courtney.
But not knowing if it was Nick or Austin, good thing Terry kept the idol.
Shane is gonna throw a temper tantrum for having 4 votes against him next week.
Nick did not make jury
Terry is telling about the idol on the next episode. That's crazy...
Terry also ensured he's got one less friend on the jury. Not getting this strategy.
Crowd also not happy about the move involving The Amazing Race.
If Terry had feigned needing to drop, then Casaya would have most likely voted for him. If he gives up the immunity, either obviously dropping or giving it away at tribal, they would be morons (which I realize is possible) to vote for Terry, because it would "show" he has the other idol to be able to "give up" the individual.
Don't get me wrong, going on a immunity tear and holding it could be the way to make final two for him. But say he has to use it next week. He uses it, but is still down in numbers. This week he could have shifted the numbers.
That's my point, I guess.
And Wow, Nick is a class act. Nice closing.

Week 7 - PostMortem
Wow, a merge after a 2-week layoff.
Terry wins immunity, Nick is goin' home.
I don't see why Terry wouldn't have given Nick the idol. it makes perfect sense. Then Shane would go. They should have just shuffled the idol between the tribe. At tribal council if one tribe member is in trouble give it to him, i.e. as jeff is reading the votes, terry gives the idol to nick, and shane is gone. and repeat.
I just found an article on MSNBC which confirms this. It would have indeed happened that way and I'm supposing that Terry didn't understand that (after all, most of us didn't).
Then again, things STILL could have gone wrong. Giving away an immunity is suspicious. They would have smelled a rat and shifted to another person anyway the moment he did so--supposing he'd only give away an immunity if he had one already.
What he NEEDED to do was let a teammate win the regular immunity and then PURPOSEFULLY draw voting fire to himself by acting like an ass. This is only just now clear to me, so it's no surprise Terry didn't see this in time.
The only reasoning could be that terry didn't want to expose he had the idol, but even so they are way down in the numbers.
We don't know when Terry is telling about the idol. If he is telling after he lost a immunity challenge, it is smart. They won't vote for him, he won't have to use it.
Terry needs to keep winning immunities until the Final Two and win the numbers game. He needs to keep his mouth shut about the idol though.
Courtney and Danielle had a chance to vote off their enemy Shane, but failed. That will backfire.
Classy act by Nick with his confessional after being voting out. Good sport.
The best thing for Terry to do now is let them know he has it. That way if he wins the necklace, all of Casay has no idea if or who he may give the HI to. The vote would be all over the place and then the 3 remaining La Mina, along with Bruce could target Shane or Aras. Unfortunatly its all too complicated and I can't imaging Terry would be so foolish to give up the HI on a risky plan. He'd be putting himself at risk unneccessarily. With or without the numbers, he is safe as long as he has the necklace or the shrunken head to use when he doesn't have the necklace. It's every man for himself now.

One must know pain to be a hero.
The vote tonight was surprising in its predictability. I thought maybe someone would make a switch, but both alliances stuck with their team. It will be interesting to see who makes the switch as ultimately to make it to the final 4 someone will need to switch sides. The girls could still decide to ban together which wouldn't be a bad idea.
It looks like Terry tells Sally he has the II next week. I would think it would be wiser not to let anyone know he has it and to continue to plug away to see if he can get anyone to come to his team's side. If he makes it to the finals he could then whip it out.
PLEASE HELP AIDAN'S FAMILY!!
I forgot...if these people are stupied enough to let an asshat like Shane make it to the finals they deserve what they get. They could have dumped him and still kept the numbers on their side. I don't want to hear Courtney complain about him anymore.
PLEASE HELP AIDAN'S FAMILY!!
So Terry could pass around the idol or does he have to give it to someone BEFORE Tribal Council? That is very confusing. He must of had his reasons for not passing the HI along.
The other thing that gave things away for me tonight (once we reached TC) was a preview clip (of the next epsiode of futrue episodes) after the Clip Show that aired 2 Weds ago, that showed Shane saying "let's turn this game!". The clip never showed up tonight and must be on some future episode. It was in the same preview of someone shown being taken away for medical reasons.
They ask before the vote if the person with II would like to save someone else or if they want to hold onto it. If he did give up the II to Nick then my guess is they would then have voted off Austin (who is an awful strategist) or Sally. They stuck together as an alliance of 6 so I don't think it would ultimately have saved anyone on his team. It also would have been a dead giveaway that he found the other II on Exile Island as no one is going to save someone else at risk to themselves .
If I have the whole II thing straight I think he was smart to keep it to himself, but it looks like he opens his yap next week. I probably would have opted to keep my mouth shut until I had no choice. I hope it doesn't hurt him as he is one of my faves. I have to admit that overall this isn't the most likeable group.
And I hate when they give too much info away in previews.
PLEASE HELP AIDAN'S FAMILY!!
I was referring to the hidden idol. Can Terry just hand it to Nick during the vote or does he have to do this before they enter TC?They ask before the vote if the person with II would like to save someone else or if they want to hold onto it. If he did give up the II to Nick then my guess is they would then have voted off Austin (who is an awful strategist

And I hate when they give too much info away in previews.
I definitely understand Terry not handing over his regular I-Idol.
It's definitely a new twist and strategy in this game when to play the idol. At this point I would keep my mouth shut too about the HI. Terry doesn't even need numbers. Every immunity challange he wins is essentially a 2-week immunity. But I guess he lets the cat out of the bag next week.
He can hand over the one from Exile Island after the vote which is great. If he is voted out he can then show the II and the survivor with the next highest votes automatically goes. That could be a huge shock.
I would guess he is going to use the II as a bargaining chop of sorts next week. It could work or it could backfire. It will definitely be interesting to see. It's a powerful weapon if used correctly.
PLEASE HELP AIDAN'S FAMILY!!
Another chance for Courtney and Danielle to gang up on Shane and vote him out, but they failed again.I forgot...if these people are stupied enough to let an asshat like Shane make it to the finals they deserve what they get. They could have dumped him and still kept the numbers on their side. I don't want to hear Courtney complain about him anymore.

Do you think it is a good idea for Terry to use the other idol from Exile Island to his advantage before a vote?
I think I would keep that quiet, but that is just me.
"A Humble Man of Grace and Dignity. A Captain Who Led by Example. Proud of the Pinstripes Tradition and Dedicated to the Pursuit of Excellence. A Yankee Forever." - Don Mattingly's Plaque in Monument Park
That's what I thought he would do by not saving Nick, but next week he apparently doesn't keep quiet. He could just use the strategy of just winning challenges and use his free pass the week he loses. Then he doesn't need numbers.
BB brought up the point we don't know if its before or after the immunity challenge. My guess is he wouldn't give it up, unless he wins immunity again. He probably could run the table on challenges or go 6-1, but they probably have one of those dreaded challenges where other players can "eliminate" an individual. (i.e. first person to have their target hit 3 times). I hate those types of challenges as it favors an alliance with numbers and involves no real skill.
Its an absolutely genius move. For example if they try to vote out Terry or Austin, Terry can say he is gonna give the immunity to Austin if he gets voted out. Therefore, the person with the second greatest amount of votes would get voted off (so, Shane perhaps)
So we could have a scenario where the six in power, split their votes between Terry and Austin (3 votes each) and Sally, Terry, and Austin pick Shanne (3 votes). It would be 3 votes between 3 people. The H-idol never even has to be used. Just the threat of it makes them split votes. Could be interesting.
split votes is a bad thing. if its 3/3/3 after 2 votes, the rules say that those 3 are immune, and the remaining members havee to randomly choose a rock out of a bag, if they get the purple one, they are toast. Its happened before
I thought they do the "build a fire" tiebreaker. If it is in fact a rock, that's even better. That would be enough to scare someone like Bruce into flipping just to avoid a rock scenario.
no, the build a fire tiebreaker was done because there were only 2 people left on that tribe. Since their votes cancelled each other out, they needed a tiebreaker game, Yoou are right though, the tie does scare the shI1 out of people. its happened very very few times
Week 8 InGame Play By Play 1st Half
Crowd filing inside the Reality TV Arena...
I can't wait to see what Terry's strategy will be tonight.
A Survivor fan in the upper deck wired for sound: I really wish they'd show the full opening credits like they used to!
I had to laugh at the recap face of Austin.. "Oh Sh*t", when he shot his mouth thinking it was him going home and it was Nick instead
I loved everyone's faces when the dummy told them that he was acting weak.
Crowd chanting: holy sh*t!
Hey, how did they pick teams?! That was some choppy editing.
Danielle doesn't have room to carry more coconuts.
Crowd chanting: VOTE OFF SHANE to Danielle.
Reward challenge: load the other teams' boats with coconuts. Paddle out, retrieve flag and fish net, bring all coconuts back to your mat.
A Survivor insider in the media gondola: Why is Aras calling Austin a slimeball? Aras is such a clueless moron. How did he get this far in life? Crowd chanting: WHAT WAS THAT?! to Aras.
The team of Danielle, Courtney & Cirie were screwed from the start.
The team of Bruce, Aras & Sally wins the breakfast reward and the choice of who goes to Exile Island.
Shane really needs to keep the legs of his shorts pulled down!
Sally forgot the flag.
Bruce, Aras, Sally. If only one of them had a plan.
Austin & Danielle get sent to Exile Island.

Week 8 - InGame Play By Play 2nd Half
Danielle's gotta be pissed Aras picked her. Too bad she won't be mad enough to make a deal with Austin to stick with Terry, Sally and him. She doesn't have the brains or the guts.
Doesn't Shane remind you of Christopher Lloyd's character Rev. Jim from Taxi?
Yes.
Winning that challenge exposed... wit?
What is this idiotic thing Aras keeps doing with his hair? He looks like a 4yr old making a mohawk when he shampoo his hair.
Come to think of it, Aras is an idiot, it must be his head that's got a point, not his hair
The breakfast is hampered by nasty weather. Crowd chanting: holy sh*t!
At least Aras has the sense to realize that winning the reward is going to put a target on his back. Too bad he relized too late.
Great idea. Setup a bed in a storm.
Why would these idiots admit who they're booting to the enemy?
Terry is trying to ascertain the final 4 from Shane, so he can find out which 2 Casayans are lowest on the totem pole. But Aras previously warned Shane and the rest of them not to give out any info.
I feel for them, wouldn't want to be outside right now.
Oh great, come back and describe all the food they ate at the reward to the survivors left back at camp.
Austin and Danielle to clinging together under a blanket in the storm on Exile Island. Hmmm, may make for a quick bond!
Danielle now thinks if her regular alliance ever falls apart she can use Austin as a Plan B.
Why isn't Austin trying to sway Danielle to switch alliances?
Shane told Terry who he thinks the final four will be: Shane, Aras, Danielle and Cerie. Was he just making that up for Terry's sake, or is that who he really wants to go to final four with?
I would think that's the truth. Bruce is the lowest man on that totem pole, and Shane really hates Courtney.
That was a weird reward. A canopy bed set on a sandbar in the pouring rain. Cirie looked like she wanted to hurt somebody, listening to them talk about the food.
Stupid Shane gave Terry a little info. Not too bright, Shane.
A Survivor fan in the upper deck: So are we going to see the dramatic stretcher evacuation this week? What happened to that? Did I totally miss a dramatic stretcher evacuation last week? I need some action - this is getting stale. Someone shake things up!!!!! Why is Shane still there?
Never thought i'd be so happy to be in bed with 2 strange menvery funny confessional from Sally
Terry could have slipped someone the idol last week, too...
I wonder why Sally thinks Terry would give immunity to either her or Austin.
He didn't give it to Nick

Week 8 - InGame Play By Play Extra Time
Terry confesses to Sally that he found the idol in the first 20 minutes.
The Exiles return.
A brain teaser? Where's Steph?
Immunity Challenge is a 4-part obstacle course. 3 people will be out after stage 1, another 3 will be out after stage 2.
Aras screwed that up pretty badly.
Aras, Bruce & Cirie are all out after round 1.
Poor Cirie never had a chance!
Courtney, Danielle, & Shane are out after stage 2.
I love how it's Ausitn, Sally and Terry!
This bridge looks pretty tricky.
Now Austin is out. The final is between Sally & Terry. That Sally is tough.
Terry should give it to Sally.
Terry wins immunity once again. By a nose. Crowd chanting: TERRY! TERRY! TERRY!
Will he give up the idol or sacrifice yet another ally?
I guess he doesn't want to use his immunity idol yet.
I'm assuming he can only use it once and it's still fairly early in the game to use it.
Man, Sally fought hard!
That was a tough challenge.
A Survivor TV analyst in the media gondola: I'm really impressed with Sally, she totally rocked and lost by a hair. I didn't think she was capable of such an effort.
A Sally fan in the front row: Sally was kicking some ass there! Terry wins yet again, and Austin was the only one clapping for him.
A cotton candy vendor in the upper deck: I can't believe Terry told Sally about the idol. What an idiot. It had no strategic value, it was just bragging. Now she can use the information against him. If she told anyone on the other team, they could target Terry on purpose, force him to use the idol but already have a backup plan and vote Austin out anyway.
This was perfect for Terry to win, he can give up his immunity at the last second. Terry is gonna tell the other tribe he found immunity, and tells them not to vote for either one of his teammates. Perfect

Week 8 - Inside Tribal Council
I'd love to see Terry give the idol to Sally, it would make things more exciting for the viewer. But he's not going to give it up and I don't blame him, even though it makes it dull for us
I'm impressed by Sally also. I don't know that Terry necessarily has to give it to her. This is Survivor. You shouldn't expect to be handed stuff. It's better for Terry to keep both immunities for himself. It's every person for themselves. thats not a bad idea to offer that to her.
This is a pretty good (if risky) plan. Danielle seems ready to jump.
Terry's now telling Austin he has the idol. They try to come up with a scheme to give the idol away to increase their numbers. Bad idea Terry.
Where did Bruce think he stood in the pecking order?
Well, if all were fair Shane would be on the bottom. The fact he is running things is totally ridiculous
I think this plan will lead to nothing.
I wouldn't want to part with the idol yet.
This alliance is just crumbling bit by bit.
Did she just call it the "immunity item"?
A Survivor internet insider on press row: Terry is a fool. He can wield power with the idol without giving it away!
Danielle would be stupid to turn down Terry's offer!
I hope she takes it too. It's time for Aras to go bye-bye.
Danielle's not going to switch.
The viewers couldn't possibly be so lucky as to have something interesting happen in the game.
A Survivor fan in the luxury box seats: I always wondered why do these people think that it's okay to be honest at the Tribal Council? I would have lied about the "amazing bonding time" on Exile Island and said I didn't bond, I was just cold.

Week 8 - The Verdict
I think it's interesting that Shane is finally a little more restrained, or they are editing him that way. I'd always vote off a tantrum thrower early.
Terry and Austin are smirking too much. It's not going to happen.
A Terry fan in the upper deck: Shane's freaky eyes are weirding me out.
A Sally fan in the front row: I hope Terry didn't give Danielle the idol yet. Hopefully he told her that tonight is loyalty test night.
Terry's not giving up the necklace.
Austin votes for Aras. Terry votes for Aras. Bruce voted for a name that starts with "A".
The Probst tally:
Aras - 3
Austin -5
A peanut vendor in the upper deck: Aras is so damn arrogant. I will stand alone in my living room and applaud when he is finally voted off!
Poorly played again. I liked Austin, too. Terry needs to find a new strategy since he keeps killing off his friends.
A Sally fan in the upper deck: I hate Danielle even more.
A Survivor TV play-by-play man in the media gondola: And so the pagonging continues.
Frankly, I think Terry was crazy not to give him the idol. I like Casaya and Aras is the last one I'd want to see leave from them. But it'd be a nice shake up and make things interesting, at least for a couple of weeks.
A Terry fan in the front row: Bruce is an idiot for not switching. I hope he gets what he deserves.
They showed Bruce voting for Aras. Danielle is the one that didn't switch.
Wow, I never thought in a million years Terry would even offer up the Idol. He, Austin and Sally did everything they could. It was Danielle that sank their plan. She can kiss all 3 votes goodbye if she happens to make it to F2.
She should have taken the deal. How does she think anything is different than it was a few weeks ago when she said Aras is setting himself up for the win?
Dumbass Danielle just pissed away her best chance. Crowd boos at Danielle.
Well, that was anti-climactic!
Every season it's the same. Everybody is always scared and they are mostly stupid. Tonight is no exception and I'm hardly surprised.
Oh my gosh! Poor Cirie has to look at Shane's privates next week! Crowd chanting: holy sh*t!
A Survivor fan asking questions via cell phone: if i was terry i would have maybe used the idol tonight to boot aras off and keep one of my people that i had an allegiance with..i dunno...is it too early to do that or i guess maybe he is waiting in case he doesnt win an individual immunity challenge seeings how everyone will be gunning for him...am i at least thinking somewhat smart?????
A Survivor radio insider on press row: while Aras is around, Casaya will stick together. I think everyone's too afraid to go against him. So had Terry given Austin some sort of safety net, the 3 remaining La Mina may have had a chance and this season might have picked back up. Plus, anyone who made a promise to Terry and broke it would have to answer for it. I don't blame anyone on Casaya for not switching

Week 8 - PostMortem
Another poor played decision by the voters. They vote out Austin. The voters had a chance to boot out weak links like Shane and Aras, but Casaya is sticking together.
Terry wins another immunity challenge. Sally came in a close 2nd.
It would be stupid for Terry to give up his idol. The only way it would have worked is if they could get two other people on to their side. They still would have been outnumbered 4 to 3 if Terry gave up the idol. If they didn't switch this week, they sure as heck wouldn't switch next week. Terry would be the first one to go.
i'm really not understading terry's logic right now, if he kept quiet about the idol and planned to use it, that's makes sense, but letting the cat out of the bag??
i mean, i see why he's using it as bait, but he could have used it tonight and got aras off!!!
also, he is promsing crap deals, danielle still would have ended up 5th if she switched!
i guess he feels he cant lie to someone since "intergrity" is such a big deal to him, but if that was me, i'd be promising final 2 not final 5
looks like next week he gets cocky and tells them he will keep on kicking thier asses
Danielle just blew her chance to stay in the game, IMHO.
I think Danielle is #3 in the Casaya pecking order, after Aras and Shane. If she switched sides, she'd become #4 in the La Mina pecking order.
It's everyone for themselves as we're down to the Elite Eight.

What the hell was that?
The voters had a chance to boot off weak links like Shane and Aras, but failed once again.
Now with Austin gone, it's Terry and Sally vs. Casaya.

We got another war of words involving SI Baseballman. This time against Aras.
Get a camera in there.
holy toledo, SI Baseballman just decked Aras with a tire iron. Aras is out cold.
SI Baseballman saying "F U ARAS. YOU F'N SUCK." He also gave them the bird.

Didn't get to see it tonight. But I am glad to see Casaya is sticking together.

You'd be thrilled as they are sticking together like glue.
Last night was a bit boring. I was hoping someone would switch sides to get themselves farther in the game as clearly two will have to go before the finals. It will be interesting to see if anyone swaps sides next week.
The women could band together and the men could choose to do the same. I doubt it happens. Now that Terry opened his yap to Danielle about having the II I wonder if she will sit on that info or share it. She could get rid of someone on her side by keeping her mouth shut.
It seems Aras and Shane are starting to lose some power which is good news as I especially can't stand Shane. I was pleasantly surprised to see Courtney win the battle of sending home Austin before Sally. I thought that was the smarter move. It also keeps the men and women at an even count, but I don't know if that even came into her thought process.
Unless there is some creative editing done in the preview it appears that Terry acts in an antagonizing way. We shall see.
PLEASE HELP AIDAN'S FAMILY!!
I'm still waiting for the scenes with the medic and where Shane says "let's turn this game". I think Shane is actually 5 or 6 on the pecking order. The women are secretly running show in the Casaya.
Terry made the right call to keep the idol. He has to keep it until he gets the numbers. Perhaps he should have made the deals he was promising tonight a week ago. Too hard to flip 2 instead of 1.
I wouldn't have given up the idol either. He needs that to save himself down the line.
PLEASE HELP AIDAN'S FAMILY!!
See even though he is a jerk I am still rooting for Shane since he was my prediction early in this thread before the season started.

We could all just forget that prediction and give you another pick if it will make you vote against Shane.
PLEASE HELP AIDAN'S FAMILY!!
While Shane is a jerk, it's everyone else's own damn fault they didn't get rid of a guy who ASKED to be voted off! While I don't want him to win, I'd laugh if he did, watching the other kick themselves for not get rid of him sooner.
Ha. Nice try. I gotta stick with him. He seems to be the Gary Sheffield of the island. And I still love Sheff.We could all just forget that prediction and give you another pick if it will make you vote against Shane.

I definately see a Casaya member going down in the next week or two to the medical emergency, but I don't see Terry losing immunity ever.
It's going to get down to 6 or 7. With it being Terry and the rest of Casaya before the women decide to pick off Aras and Shane.
My what the hell was that comment was in reference to Austin not having the HI. Did Terry decide to hold on to it after Danielle said no or did they get word that the vote was going toward Sally as discussed at camp? That was a huge fake out by Casaya if so.
Terry will keep winning as long as they are physical challenges. However, there is usually a puzzle challenge or the kind of challenge where others get to eliminate you from the challenge. (i.e. first person to take 3 hits is eliminated from the challenge). However, the producers sensing a numbers game, may keep the challenges physical just to make sure those 6 don't just get to play the numbers.
They probably got word about Sally, but Terry was only giving it up if he could flip some numbers on his side whether it was Sally or Austin. If he hands to either one, it gets played, Aras is eliminated, and Terry is still outnumbered and now forced to win every challenge. Not a smart move to simply save someone else.
I don't understand why Terry mentioned that he has the immunity idol. Even worse he tells the other tribe member Danielle that he has it. You can bet she will mention to her other tribe members that he has it. Foolish move.
It will be interesting to see if Terry telling people about the II helps or hurts him. Gut tells me it will hurt him. but the other tribe has to know that the numbers aren't in favor for a few of them. That could keep him in the game especially as he excels at challenges.
They don't want to wait too long to ditch Shane and Aras if that is the plan. All players can potentially win an IC so it could bite them in the butt if they don't ditch them sooner rather than later.
Another thing that could help sally and Terry if they get to the end is the vast majority of the jury will be Casaya members. Some will be bitter and may go against their original tribe. We have seen that happen more than once.
If I am Danielle I would keep it to myself if I wanted one of my members out. Let's say Terry loses a challenge. Let them vote Terry out. Second in line will probably be Aras. Aras goes and she is still completely in the clear. Being quiet could really work to her benefit.
PLEASE HELP AIDAN'S FAMILY!!
Good point! Then again playing the game smart seems hard to do on survivor.I'm sure lack of food and a good nights sleep I'm sure is a factor.
The "pecking order" challenges with chopping someone else's rope or whatever, are usually reward challenges. If those happen soon it could help Sally and Terry by creating controversy on Casaya.
Week 9 - InGame Play By Play 1st Period
Crowd filing inside the Arena...
A Survivor TV Play-by-play man in the media gondola wired for sound: I can't wait to see Shane drop his drawers in front of Cirie. Thank god for the guy that does the fuzzy nudity blobs.
Let's hope it's something that will send him home early
Can't wait to see what "medical issue" Shane has!
Let's play who wants to throw the game away more.
Cirie should let out one of her giggles when Shane drops trou. I'd love it if she made some comment about it infront of everyone
Who said that about hoping he breaks his arm? That's beyond low
I believe that was CourtneyCrowd booing at Courtney.
I thought it was Cirie who said it. Courtney told her the comment wasn't nice. Cirie admitted that it wasn't.
Did she just look in Terry's bag?
Yep, they were nosing thru his stuff.
Videos from home. Crowd chanting: Awwwww!
Why should they cavil at snooping through someone else's belongings? There is little or no honor amongst contestants.
Ooh, I briefly like Shane. He has tears in his eyes at the idea of seeing his family.
A Survivor fan in the front row: The little girl knows too much.. we must assimilate her, or eliminate her!

Aw, Shane is human after all.
A beer vendor in the upper deck: They "grew up together" and he had him when he was 21? Most people are already adults at that age, shane.
LOL.....And his....wife???:
I can see Shane being a late bloomer
This looks kind of a fun challenge, very different...This is an odd challenge.
Courtney, Bruce, Sally, & Terry are in the lead in the reward challenge.
I loved the way they all just let go of the ropes when they won.
Aras is exiled! The least repulsive team wins.
I actually really liked that challenge.. it was something different and fun looking.. usually the challenges are just kind of the same thing...
A Casaya fan in the upper deck: I'm kind of disappointed Cirie and Shane didn't win, they are my fav's..
A Survivor TV insider in the media gondola: Gee, Bruce & Sally have managed to be on the winning team for the last two reward challenges, which means they got the food. That will probably make for more resentment towards Bruce (assuming Sally is going to get the boot tonight). He maybe ought to rethink his alliance.
I loved it how Sally, Terry and Bruce just let go of the rope when they won and Courtney almost went catapulting
Are they doing more team challenges on this Survivor?
Here comes Shan'es emergency.
Oh goody, Shane dropped his pants.
Cirie can't stop giggling. Crowd chanting: holy sh*t! holy sh*t!
"Shane has this funky thing going on with his, uh, testicles."
A Courtney fan in the upper deck: Yeah right. I would not be looking at Shane's testicles, even if they had the secret for spinning straw into gold on them.
Nurses have seen it ALL. Even if it does make them giggle.
LOL even the owl seemed startled when Shane pulled down his pants.
