Reply #5: I hope so.

I really, really hope so. I keep telling myself that the Amazing Producers kept the infamous footage of the hit (or the shove or whatever you want to call that despicable act) for a reason, like they are setting up for a Philimination based on the little prick's abusive behavior.

On second viewing I noticed some discrepancies in the stated number of non-elimination legs. I could have sworn that last week Phil said there were to be "several", then it was "four" and in this week's previouslys there were going to be "three". I just hope the numbers are off because Assathan/Victoria will come in last on a non-elimination leg and after viewing the Incident the producers decided Assathan shouldn't get a reprieve and boot him off anyway. Normally I am violently allergic to spoilers (I feel the ruin the point of watching TV), but this is one instance where it's taking a lot of self-control to keep myself from going to the spoiler sites and seeing if this is indeed what's going to happen. I just can't bear the thought of one of my favorite shows being dragged into the gutter like this. I don't know how much more of Victoria's suffering I can watch after that horrific meltdown the other night. The woman needs to be in some counseling, not on national TV being abused by her husband.
