I really wish that everyone had gone through with the coconut hiding. A sudden bout of generosity does not cancel out lazy-assness for weeks. They could have said they were hiding the dangerous coconuts from further harming her.

So, wait. Yul convincing Jonathon to flip is excellent strategy, and he’s a great person. Adam basically acknowledges Yul’s involvement in that. And yet Jonathon is the Rat Cancer of Doom? God, I hate these people. It makes it even worse that Adam used the I word. Also, neither he nor Parvati can talk without smiling vacantly, and I have this feeling that you could hear the ocean if you listened to their skulls. It is obvious that the Raros believe they are coming off great, because the constant Boogiean mugging points to them thinking they’re cute.

I could actually probably graph this, because it seems as though as the Survivors’ like for Jonathon declines, my like for him soars higher. His disregard for Jeff, his eloquence, how obviously he loves his wife, and his contempt for Adam and Parvati just makes me want to buy him a beer.

…aren’t the challenges tested out beforehand? I think anything that can cause the whack to the spine that Sundra endured probably should have been altered a little.

Aw, shucks! I wanted Jon to stay. Is he that annoying? I mean, most everyone stopped talking to him! Dang!

Adumb? Still sucks. Pavarti was nice in this episode (I liked her Dad).

Kinda boring episode till tribal, and I did not see that vote coming.

What a bunch of fucking assholes.

I swear, if I have to watch Adam's moronic mouth-breathing neanderthal smirking at TC one more week I'll kill someone.

Yul, I still love you, but I'm hella pissed. Now Adam and Parvati are around to start weaseling their way in, and I can't stand it if they aren't voted off next.

Goddammit.

I knew that Sundra couldn't be trusted. And Becky is a snot and a half, and her sister is way hotter. I bet Yul had to vote that way because that's the way the wind was blowing.

Why did Ozzy include Jonathon in the gang they were hiding food from? He fishes too, and builds fires.

And why the hell did the Aitus feel guilty about hiding the coconuts after Adumb and Poverty brought them food from the reward? All they did was provide them with one freakin' meal -- let's do a comparison of how many meals, including firewood and water, Aitu has provided Dumb and Dumber with.

Wow. Voting Jonathon out is going to come back to bite them in the ass. But YAYZ on Jonathon pointing out to the jury that he didn't vote them out all by himself -- it was Raro as a whole that voted them out. The only way he could have made it better is if, after Adumb said he should have been voted out a long time ago, he pointed to each member of the jury and counted out loud the one-two-three-four opportunities they had to get rid of him but instead decided to cannibalize those they were in a (half-assed) alliance with.

And what's really funny is Adumb is probably thinking he's Mr. Slick right about now.

Jeez what is so wrong with Jonathan? I get that he might be irritating but these people really dislike him. I wonder if he has any regrets about flipping. I was hoping he'd win. Ah well.

Ozzy is definitely my least favorite Survivor again some more.

Parvati is so silly and ridiculous that I can't help but like her. I don't think Adam is that bad either.

The way Becky and Sundra treated Jonathan was harsh!

I think that Yul had a serious lapse in judgement voting out Jonathan - they know that he was seriously loyal to them. I didn't see Jonathan voting against them - he flipped before because his back was against the wall. Now he's in a worse position - Ozzy being the odd man out. I would trust Ozzy alot less than Jonathan! If they had kept out Jonathan and voted out Adam, they would have had a strong alliance still, at least between Yul/Becky/Jonathan. That was a ridiculous move. Plus, I abhor Adam. His cocky attitude at the tribal counsel really ticked me off. I can't stand him or his arrogance.

I really thought they'd vote out Adam bc of his potential to be a challenge threat-- but when I remembered the title of the episode, I doubted myself. I've lost much of my love for the Aitu 4. Maybe Yul was overruled by the girls, but clearly he could have just pointed out to them the obvious logic of voting out challenge threat Adam. But uniting with the horrid Adam and Parvati ("because Parvati is smiling at them!") is unacceptable. I thought Jonathan deserved to stay in the game longer-- not bc they owed him but bc there was no rational reason to vote him (a solid vote for their alliance) out. His farewell message was apropos.

wow. I'm really disappointed by the way that that played out. I thought Jonathan and Yul's talk at tribal about their mutual effort was quite poignant--and smart. I don't think the end game will be as satisfying as thelast episodes, as the Aitu's who voted for Jonathan really made a bad move, and showed that they are ready to break ranks.

As Shii-Ann said: “Stupid, stupid people.” Jonathan over Adam!?!? Gah! Couldn’t you wait one more tribal council!?!? Idjits. Would serve you guys right if Adumb and Poverty manage to stick around a lot longer.

Though, early on, tonight’s episode was all about the Probst.

In the Reward Challenge, possibly cost Jonathan the win by loudly pointing out his wife’s clever tactic of wringing the water out of her shirt. Shut it, Peachy!

“Jonathan not even asking permission!” <hee> Yea, Jonathan!

And then, just because I’m 12, Probst’s play by play of the immunity challenge had me giggling:

"Ozzy is already untying his bundle, trying to get going on his pole !"
"Ozzy spacing it out trying to get an idea of how much pole he has to work with!"
"Ozzy’s got his pole together!"
"Ozzy doing it all with the pole !"

On other topics: really subtle “Jonathan’s an outsider!” edit tonight, people. NOT!

Jonathan gave a great argument for why he shouldn’t be voted out. And finally pointed out what we all have been thinking all along: (paraphrased) “Those people over there weren’t just voted out by me alone, their own tribemates voted them out.” That seemed to score a lot of points with the jury. Though, unfortunately, not with his fellow tribemates.

Stoopid, stoopid people. <sigh>

I had this feeling that Parvati's dad, having now seen the show, would be horribly ashamed, while Adam's dad would simply say "That's my boy!"

I'm actually quite sad that Jonathan's gone. He may have been obnoxious, but he's sure entertaining.

And did anyone NOT think that Ozzy was a lock for that immunity challenge?

My interest in this show has ebbed like the low tide. Looks like I'll be stuffing cotton into my ears whenever Yul is not on the screen. (I'd add Becky and Sundra, but I don't think they can talk).

Go over to your Stacy, bubbelah, you're a schemdrick and you'll be missed back here in Noo Yawk.

What the fuck was that shit?! Aitu, why are you making me hate you now? Except Yul and Ozzy, I suppose. But Becky flat out ignoring Jonathan? Sundra being not very veiled in her hostility? Are they STUPID? When has Jonathan ever been a threat? Parvati and Adam are much bigger threats, and I thought I was going to hurl at Adam's smug, buffoon grin when Jonathan got snuffed. I can't decide whose face I want to throw up all over more, his or Parvatis. Cut them up like poop! Cut them out of the tribe like the cancer they are! Cmon Aitu, what the hell is wrong with you?! Jonathan was right, look at what they are trying with Ozzy next episode.

GAHHHH! If Parvati or Adam wins, I'll shoot myself. Tm Poverty. It might even be worse than when the dreaded Jenna Morasca won.

Stupid people. Stupid,stupid people. /Shii Devil.

That was a dumb move, quite frankly. If they had left Parvati by herself, she would have to flip two people in order to even force a tie, something that I don't think she was quite capable of doing. Furthermore, if someone was threatening to defect, as Ozzy apparently is considering next week, Yul could just swap them out with Jonathon. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

And, frankly, I hope Jonathon didn't put up with any shit from Nate and Candice at Loser Lodge, because, seriously. Has there ever been a player attacked so personally in this game? I mean, I know there have been a lot of fights, but it just seemed like Jonathon was just maligned over and over again. He looked like he was kind of relieved and just disappointed when he was voted off.

Gosh, that was depressing...I felt like I was back in grade school again, watching the "cool kids" shun the outcast, for no other reason than he/she was "different." I'm so disappointed in the Aitu four right now, I can't even express it properly. I can understand that they may have found Jonathan annoying, (although I find Parvati and Adumb a thousand times more annoying), but did they have to actually ignore him when he spoke?

I was most disappointed in Becky- she was a Mean Girl personified. And I used to like her so much!

I know I have a problem, but the IC made me giggle and giggle and giggle. Talk of poles and bundles of sticks was just too much for me and my immaturity. Does Jeff realise how ridiculous he sounds sometimes?

Also, from the previews, it looks as if Becky and Yul are in quite a tough spot because of their decision to remove Jonathan from the game. All I have to say - told you so, kids. Adam should have gone tonight.

…aren’t the challenges tested out beforehand? I think anything that can cause the whack to the spine that Sundra endured probably should have been altered a little.

It was more to the upper thigh, but it did look quite painful. I'm sure she had quite the bruise there.

What an embarassing episode. I hate the teary family episode every season, and especially the "Americans visit the locals and act like Parvati" episode, and this episode combined BOTH!

I think it would have been a better idea to keep Jonathon than Adam, but whatever.

And screw Probst and his final lines. "No. One. Can. Be. Trusted. In. This. Game." Was the cue-card guy having a slow day?

I'll miss Jonathan. He must have really been annoying but at least he pointed out to the jurors that they are there because the raros voted against you and put you there. Zing. So right. I'll miss his talks because he understood the game.

When Adam started with his stupid grin at Candace I hope they could be together in juror land.

Yul - hottie. His brother - not his twin.

Ozzy - pole? nut?

That immunity challenge was brutal to all except Ozzy. He's awesome in the water.

Argh, I'm starting to hate Ozzy again. The smugness, she is back.

As soon as Jeff, describing the immunity challenge said,

"You'll dive into the water a sw-"

I screamed "Ozzy wins" and got up for a bowl of ice cream. Honestly its just starting to seem not even fair. No one else has anywhere near his ability level.

It looked like Parvarti cut her fingernail and not so much her finger.

I knew there had to be more to that reward challenge, it sounded too simple at the beginning.

Adam and his dad look a lot alike..

Jonathan/wife and Sundra/mommy got to me the most . Sundra was bawling. I actually wondered if they would bring her son out.


Becky was stoic as her sister was crying tears, although I think I did see a trickle on ole stoneface (as another poster aptly named her).

Jeff was snarky saying, Jonathan wasn't asking permission

Ozzy catches most of the food...I thought it was he and Jonathan together. Also why did Ozzy include Jonathan in the "they can get their own."


I am glad foodgate got thrown out. I didn't like the idea.

That IC was funny, they took some lhits and then some. I knew Ozzy or Yul would win. Wow Ozzy is a challenge monster. Everyone struggled with the barrels except him, he has good balance and co-ordination.

Sundra and Becky were rude to Jonathan and I don't see why they had to be, he did save their ass.

Yul was correct, Aitu saved Jonathan as well as Jonathan saved Aitu and they did owe him. They owed him better than F7

I love Jonathan pointed out that the jury was voted out by their tribemates

I was very dissappointed that Aitu voted out Jonathan, he did not deserve that at all. He should have been F5, he deserved it. Now I see why Sundra and Becky were so quiet. Jonathan flopped for Aitu, got called a rat and was treated horribly and they turned on him. Sad, I am very very dissappointed. They should have told him to his face out of common respect.

Also in regards to next weeks preview, I think the Aitu4 will stay together and be final 4, however they should not even entertain voting each other off. Ozzy is a threat and he needs to go BUT get rid of Adam and Parvarti first. I do not want those two anywhere near f4. I am pissed that they made it farther than Jonathan, their smug faces at TC was too much to bear.

I can say that Aitu wasn't around to see how Raro treated Jonathan pre-merge...still. The shine is coming off Aitu.

Aw, Jonathon got voted off! I guess I was kind of expecting it because there was all the dead air at camp and how Becky/Sundra were kind of ignoring him. Aitu4 should have voted off Adam first and then Jonathon so that Adam/Parvati would be seperated.

Amazing how people can go from lovable underdogs to self-righteous snots in the space of two episodes.

Screw you all, Aitu four! I hope Adam wins every fricken immunity challenge and your asses get booted one after the other.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

What the hell was Yul thinking? Get rid of the one rational, sensible player, causing paranoia to reign, and leaving two strong allies who can persuade your alliance to split up.

And lo and behold, the previews for next week show exactly that happening.

I am not surprised about Ozzy, he's always been an emotional player, but Yul and Becky are supposed to be smarter than that.

I think a lot of people are too blinded by their dislike for Jonathan to really see how awesome he is. He is clearly still at odds with Poverty and Adumb, but he still offered her a "you are being so brave, Parvati" when she cut her thumb off.

I can't wait for his Survivor Live and all of his interviews to come.

Just wanted to be the first to say (completely inappropriately): I would totally work on Yul's pole.

That said, WOW voting off Jonathan was a lame move. Very Raro-esque. You know, Adam and Parvati might be smarter than they have been given credit for... pretending like they are already counting themselves out of the game and just making having Jonathan around camp miserable for everyone. Now they are in a great place, with so few people left, to make their move and split up the Aitu's. If Aitu lets that happen, after everything they have done so well so far, they deserve to be called the biggest chokers in Survivor history.
