Someone goes out. Presumably, with a bang.

:lol

I Love watching Kim play this game. I know some think it is boring but I so enjoy it!

[alexandra]

I like Kim's strategy and handle on the game. She is the most deserving to win the game in my opinion (although the most deserving doesn't always win of course)

[kungfuhippie]

I feel like Kim has telegraphed her plans a little too much and has lacked subtlety. That said, you only have to be good enough to beat your competition and she's been good enough to pull the wool over Jay's and Mike's eyes. Unless Troyzan can put something together with people like Tarzan and Christina, that will be good enough.

[bbgamer]

Kim still has the Idol and knows what is going on enough to know she didnt have to use it tonite I am sure she will know ahead of time when she needs to use it or not.

[Daniel]

Bahaha Jay was such a joke, glad he's gone.

I don't really get why Troy didn't go for getting Alicia out over Kim, but oh well this ain't too bad for him. Jay was poison anyway.

Someone did go out. But where was the bang I was promised? I *think* I heard Sabrina say the word bang at some point, but that's it. :lol

All kidding aside, at least the girls were smart enough, even before the HI idol was confirmed, to split their vote.

[nyuguy]

Jay was an idiot and deserved to go home.

What is Lief doing? I love the guy, and am oddly attracted to him him....that's another discussion, but I am constantly baffled by his votes :lol

Troyzan should've realized that he wasn't going to get votes for Kim and voted Alicia. Could've even convinced Tarzan to do it too...maybe.

Speaking of Tarzan, whose alliance does he think he's working with? He said it will be strengthened and voted for Jay. Does he think he's in the inner circle with the girls? Never see them talk to him...

AND why does Christina, Lief, and Tarzan not realize they are on the bottom of the totem pole? They should've started talking two weeks ago. As soon as those three got the relay of the split vote, that info should've went to Troy & Jay then Kim WOULD'VE went home (glad she didn't. LOVE her) but I would like to see people playing the game and not just voting what a core alliance comes over and tells them at the last minute. Just silly.

[Acfan]

Agree with all of the above Nyu. Leif, Tarzan and Christina are just playing stupidly.

I really really like Kim too. She seems incredibly astute and I think it's one of the very few times we've seen a woman be this in control of a game, at least so far. It's mostly been alpha males who get this kind of control/edit in the past. It's the kind where you don't understand why people aren't thinking for themselves and just keeps doing what they're told :lol. I liked Parvati's black widow alliance back in Fans vs Faves, but it's a different approach, plus, just like Rob, Ozzy and Coach had advantages going into the game, so did Parvati, Amanda and Cirie back in their season. It's all completely fair game for Kim and her ladies though and I like her approach better. I'm a big fan of Jay, so it sucks to see him go, but I'm glad that the ladies were in control enough to change their majority votes to him, and inadvertently flush Troy's idol.

I'm also glad they're showing more of others (Chelsea in this case). Chelsea's more emotional and plays with her heart, but IF Kim's plan works out and Kim and Chelsea are in the finale, I think it would be interesting that they've gotten there with their different styles, and would love to see how the jury would be swayed. I hope next week Sabrina (or Kat) gets more airtime. Also, that Kim does live up to the solid game she seems to have now, so that I can finally stop whining about not having enough good female strategists in Survivor :lol. Sophie was good last season, but Kim is straight up gutsy.

[Daniel]

As soon as those three got the relay of the split vote, that info should've went to Troy & Jay then Kim WOULD'VE went home (glad she didn't. LOVE her) but I would like to see people playing the game and not just voting what a core alliance comes over and tells them at the last minute. Just silly.I think Tarzan still believes Alicia is with him. Odd, but he sounded really persistent about that two or three weeks ago. Didn't want to vote Alicia, and then went after Christina both pre-merge and post merge. It doesn't make sense at all, but I think he's just living in his own world.

[Acfan]

Hm, yeah I think that makes a lot of sense. I've been wondering about Tarzan. I hope when Alicia backstabs Tarzan that we see him go off on her.

[Lan]

I'm onto Tarzan's plan. He wore Monica's clothes this past episode (you can check it out for yourself), to convince the girls he's with them :lol

Also, I'm on board with the Kim-love but her competition so far has been laughable. I feel like I could root for her more if her opponents actually put up a challenge.

[Daniel]

Well as far as competition goes, I think Troyzan is a pretty great player (if not one of the most complete survivor players I've ever seen), even if he wasted that idol. He has a pretty good read of people. I don't blame him for overestimating Jay's intelligence.

[Acfan]

I don't find Troyzan to be that great. I think he's been more logical and levelheaded than the rest of the guys, but nothing really outstanding so far for me. The guys are in trouble because they got rid of Jonas so easily. Troyzan seemed to be the most hesitant there, but I don't believe he found the situation crucial or anything. He couldn't control Mike or Jay, and was just as fooled by the ladies that round. I do hope he has some success next week.

Also, I'm on board with the Kim-love but her competition so far has been laughable. I feel like I could root for her more if her opponents actually put up a challenge.

Yeah, no one's putting that big of a fight, so weird. It's always hard to pinpoint for me if it's because the rest aren't really competition or if it's just that those few key players really are that good in controlling and keeping everyone in check with side-deals and what not. I saw Christina's pre-game interview where she describes herself as someone who knows the right time to pounce or something, and I feel like that might be it for many of them, here (but we'll see) and plenty of past Survivors. They have a wrong read on the situation and are waiting on an opportunity that have passed :lol

[kungfuhippie]

I think Troyzan was pretty smart last night, he had a good read on Kim. Unfortunately she tricked him completely the week before. Jay and Troy just couldn't get it together - Jay was suspicious of Kim last week and Troy wasn't, then it was reversed this week. Kim has been the better player for sure, she has manipulated Jay and Troy quite well. So too bad for them. But I don't fault them as much as I do players like Leif, Tarzan and Christina. They just do whatever someone tells them to. Troy and Jay at least thought they were in an alliance which they trusted. The loose ends players are just waiting for their turn to get voted off.

[Acfan]

Agree. Troyzan is playing a whole lot better than Leif, Christina and Tarzan. Those 3 are puzzling so... I went and watched a few deleted scenes and confessionals.

Tarzan: absolutely not playing the game. He did believe it would be Jay or Troy next because they are bigger threats than him. He thinks girls will pick the guys off, and he seems fine with that and not needing to change it. :shrug

Christina: on her confessional, she seems all in with the 6 girl alliance, why, I have no idea :lol She mentions a final 4 situation, so probably she has a (fake?) alliance with some girls (my bet is with Sab, Kim, Chelsea) and seems like is already thinking about how she wins the jury over. :lol

Leif: I don't know, he seems like the ultimate floater. He felt safe letting go and having this 'understanding' with Chelsea. Just like Tarzan, I don't think he has an end-game, real or fake. :lol
