That was the best episode ever. I think Randy had enough of the game and would have been history at the next tribal council anyway. Sugar is getting increasingly attractive as other people are saying. I just love her. I am kind of surprised at the way Bob manipulated Randy. I did not think he had it in him to be so deceitful.

Very good episode.

LOL

I don't know what to think of the black former Olympic winner lady. She always appears so stupid and is so inept at the challenges yet she has managed to influence and align herself with the right people to stay in the game. Maybe nobody sees her as a threat or just as another pion that can be manipulated to get them ahead.
I can't see her winning the game because she is not likable.

:confused: WTF? She's a bitch. And if I didn't know she was a former Olympian would say that she has zero athletic ability.

Yea im not a fan of Crystal either. I think this season has been good but not as good as last seasons. Also anyone know if the finale is in NYC or LA?

Matt is an idiot. There is no way he is going to break into the Kenny, Krystal, Sugar and/or Susan alliance to make it past #5. He should have taken the opportunity when he had it (last night's episode) to blindside one of them. I'm guessing that he is banking on being able to beat them at immunity challenges so that they can't vote him out, but that wouldn't really be a position I would want to be in. No way am I going to put myself in a must-win situation instead of creating complete chaos so that everyone feels vulnerable.

Count me in the Sugar fanclub :heart:, I really hope she wins. So many times a blindside was setup in an episode only to never have it happen, to have this one actually happen was just awesome.

I think Bob deserves it to get to the final 3, because his fake idol was genius. Kenny has also played well, but I don't think he'll get to the end. Corinne is just as bitter as Randy and I hope she goes next. I do feel sorry for Matty though.

Since they almost always talk about the person who got voted off in the next episode, I'd say you are right. It's also sure to come up in the reunion show too.

The look on Corine's face when she got booted out was priceless.

They actually have a shot of her laughing at the stupidity of the rest of the tribe before tribal council.

We're all laughing at her now.

LOL great episode

I am afraid Bob is next and kenny or Crystal will probably win the game

LOL... tonight was an example of how not to play the game.

1. Don't make and keep an idol you can't use yourself.
2. Don't approach the most strategic person in the game with the fake idol.

I was surprised that Kenny didn't ask to see the idol and that Crystal didn't realize it was a fake assuming everyone saw it before it was put into the bottle and thrown out to sea.

I didn't like how kenny flipped, but at least he made sure crystal still voted corinne out(good riddance to her!!!!!!) although he still couldve voted corinne w/o breaking or backing out of his original alliance since it would still be a 5-2 vote regardless of the (fake) idol in play. If the 5 vote original for corinne, and the 2 vote matty, and there was a real idol in play by corinne, matty would still be the one out. no strategy needed and no backstabbing needed (at least to matty and the strong 5)... i think by doing that, kenny put himself into bad graces when the other 3 find out what he did

At first Bob's plan seemed awesome, but Kenny just blitzed it with a nice comeback with Crystal. Why didn't Kenny tell Bob/Corinne to play the idol if he wanted it flushed out? That should have been a condition of his flip.

I was so happy Corinne got voted out, talking about ineptitude when the last three tribals were her alliance getting destroyed.

Kenny flipping really doesn't matter imho, considering that 5 of the 6 left are from the same alliance - someone would have had to flip anyway. I'm hoping its sugar/bob/ken in the final three, they all deserve it. Crystal is one of the weakest players ever and she should not win.

This is the first season where all my favorite players are already out. I guess ill root for Bob now. Matty's gf is smoking hot too.

watching the ep now with the food auction. I used to like little sugar when she was playing second fiddle, but now I just hope someone orchestrates something good to make her crash and burn hard.

I loved watching randy and would like most of the people he hates to get voted off, but watching him get burned by the idol was pretty hilarious. This looking like the finals are going to be interesting as I see a lot of jury members whom would rather vote no one that the likely cast of final participants.

I think old Bob's days are numbered. He's just there to build/create stuff and enjoy himself.

He hasn't shown himself to be much of a strategist, beyond constructing fake immunity knick-knacks. And now most of his former allies have exited.

I say Kenny or Sugar deserve to win. BTW Sugar keeps looking better as the weight drops off.

well, they didn't use it yet, its just "out there" with only kenny and crystal thinking it is real... like bob said with the bank robbery analogy... having a real idol isn't what is powerful, it is the idea behind it.

but still, i think Sugar should win the million dollars, with kenny and bob in the final 3... although I think kenny shot himself with the foot for swapping, but he could be ratty enough to blindside sugar, with bob in the crosshairs at the moment... just depends on how he plays the game...

The fact that the idol wasn't played, showed Kenny & Crystal that it was nothing more than bs.
I don't think there's a way in heck that Kenny thinks it's real now. I'm not sure about Crystal, she's not all there mentally, if you ask me.

Wasn't it nice to see Crystal blindsided tonight? :laugh:

Sugar didn't even have to give her hidden immunity to Mat but doing it sent a message.

Now that Bob, Sugar and Matt are in an alliance, Kenny had better watch his back.


Fascinating.
