Survivor - Fans vs. Favorites - Episode 8 discussion thread

[dr.strangelove]

I think Ozzie and Amanda made a HUGE mistake last night, which will prove to be their undoing. Ami was controllable and you knew what she was going to do. Erik is a wild card and Ozzy trustign him will hurt him. I also think Cirie is going to turn on him quick. I would have kept Ami and bounced Erik. I did feel badly for Ami, but teh switch really put her in a tough spot and she was unable to get Chet to play a little longer and oust Amanda. Its a good thing the merge is coming, because Malakal sucks. They can't win anythign right now. I can;t wait to see what happens at teh merge.

I loved the crab hunt. Ami looked so hot weilding that knife and hunting crabs. I would so rather enjoy crabs than rats.
I don;t but the final four female alliance. It will enver work.

The challange was fun to watch. I have a crush on Amanda. She is beautiful and smart. Erik ran his ass off. I was glad he did nto get hurt. Jason proved himself again as a physical player. I think it was a mistake to oust Ami, but we will see.

1. Dang, I was rooting for Ami

The Challenge: Did no one on the Malakal tribe know that Jason was a gymnastics coach? When they read the tree-mail about picking someone to sit out the challenge and something about balance, I immediately thought of him. I thought Erik was going to break his ribs. Ouuuuch!

The crab hunt: it was so funny the way they edited and showed that part.

Why did Ami have to go? I don't know that I would have wanted Erik to go simply because voting off all the fans was getting too predictable. I wish someone would have mixed it up a bit and gotten rid of someone from that alliance of Amanda-Ozzy-Cirie. I just think Survivor has been too predictable the last few seasons.

In the previews for the next episode they show Eliza telling Jason, "that's not the idol!" He asks why not and she says, "it's a stick!" (paraphrasing, of course) LOL!!

2. I respectfully disagree with you dr. s.

I think they did exactly the right thing by keeping Erik. Or, at least, Ozzy did the right thing, because I think Erik will be fiercely loyal to Ozzy. When Ozzy made that comment about how, when he finds out someone has worked against him, that's it, I believed him, and I was worried that he was going to weaken his resolve and let her stay, so was relieved to see him stick to his guns. I admire him alot, and am pulling for him to win.

Erik is sweet and naive, I like him too. I cringed when he slammed into that platform, I was sure he was going to end up with some broken ribs! OUCH!

Next week they merge, then it will get *very* interesting!

3. We'll see

I think Erik is going to turn on Ozzy, but maybe you are right. I think the doe eyed admiration is all an edited act. Its the type of thing Brunet likes to drop on us. I hope I am wrong. I would love Ozzy to win this thing.
