OH MY GOD.
What a frustrating episode! Lex, Kathy and Shii Ann, all 3 of whom were favorites of mine, are complete idiots, and they totally deserve to be picked off by the Robfather and his cohorts whenever the merge finally happens. Hey Mogo Mogo (I'm using the original team names) - maybe the reason you keep losing so bad is that none of you are thinking strategy!
So........after being handed a sacrificial Lamber on a plate, they choose to get rid of their own tribe member, reducing the team ratio to 6/3 instead of 5/4 because they're afraid Rob will be mad at them?!?!? IDIOTS!
Lex: for once, I thought your flawed habit of telling the bootee they're going would work in the right direction, because Jerri was right when she said that Rob would turn on all of them as soon as it's convenient to him, but no. But while we're at it - why do you think it's a good idea to tell the person they're going? For that alone, you don't deserve to win.
Kathy: Ever since you hung out with Chapera on the boat, you've been looking for an opportunity to cross over to their team. What you don't see is that they don't need you at all. You are deadwood. If you make it to the merge, you will be booted early.
Shii Ann: Talking to Rupert, you (correctly) assert that Rob is the hugest threat once the merge happens, and if he goes on a winning streak, he'll win it all. And yet, in your own tribe, you say you don't think he'll last very long post-merge. So, I guess it's a good idea to eliminate someone from your own tribe instead of pissing him off by taking out the one person every single competitor in the game knows is his closest ally?!
Rob and Amber: I can't stand either of you. I dislike you both individually, and I despise you even more as a mushy couple, but I gotta hand it to you - getting those 3 boneheads to shoot themselves in the foot was impressive. I can still hope that next week promises that Rob will make a huge misstep that will cause his own tribe to wake up and get rid of him, but who am I kidding? Rob is running this game!
At this point, it wouldn't surprise me at all if the final 3 were Rob, Amber and anyone else left in the game, and if the 3rd person wins immunity they will take Rob to the final 2. Rob has done Brian Heidik's strategy one better because he has players from both teams wrapped around his finger! Kathy and Rupert would both feel he's a better player than Amber, Lex would feel like he owes Rob something, Shii Ann will be long gone by then, but she would feel he would be a good person to go against, Tom would defintiely take a guy instead of a woman, Jenna will do whatever Rob tells her, and Alicia? Well, she's the only person who might not take Rob with her, but I think she will definitely be gone next week, so it doesn't really matter.
BAH, SURVIVOR!
