I agree Cirie has outwitted everyone so far. Everyone is after Terry but it's Cirire they should be going after. She just makes me laugh though. I loved it when Aras tried to help her and basically through her into the water with a big-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g splash.

Is win a car hex on Terry? Or will he be able to break it. No one has ever won after wining a new car. I do think he is one of the strongest players. I don't care for Shane at all and hope he gets voted off next. My first choice for a winner is Terry but don't think all the voted off Casaya members would vote for him, only because they would want one of their tribe member to win.

Awesome!!!!
So cool you are talking about this here.
Didn't Amber win the car and break the hex? I could be wrong, but I definitely felt like "I hope Terry gets the hex." That dude must go! That is like the Ice Wars thing they had, TOTALLY UNFAIR! (girls were talented but no match for who they picked for guys - Yuka vs. Kurt, it isn't a "cuter" contest - at least that Yuka would win! - but I am bias as some others would be too) Navy Pilot, hello, this guy HAD TO already go through this in his training. The rest of the challenges better be.....well what!!!!??? Is there anything a Navy pilot isn't trained to do?
I can't believe how easy it was to find that idol on castaway isl. Like Terry wasn't trained to use foreign maps too. Man I want that guy gone, just so I can cheer on who ever beats him out - now that will deserve a big YAHHH!!!!
I like Cirie and Danielle. And think D needs to change her play to stay, Cirie did finally - and It worked good up to now. I hope it comes down to those 2 so it will be a little harder to Judge when the time comes. Extra kudos to Cirie for the play - some of the best ever! Just keep Dani on (that is also my niece's name, so it isn't just because she is really good looking
Girls with "bunny" smiles RULE!) and hopefully she will either get the Mill and drop out of pushing pharmaceutical crap, or she'll get a deal with FMF and other guy mag.s that will take her away from that "shady" career and get her a better one - yes sleazy guy mag.s are better then sleazy drug pushers. And if not Cirie is one cool lady!

Thanks for the clarification, that explains why TERRY WILL LOOSE!!!!!!!!
BTW, are they still together? Rob was not a favorite of mine anyway, but I am sure Amber would be a better judge of that then I.
I know i it is superficial, but so is TV, Dani is gorgeous!!!! and bring on the "ficial!"
Shane, are you frickin kidding me!!!!!!!!!!!! Ee gad!!!! Well that is fine.
I really would have liked to seen bruce (voted from day one Rupert), but now it would be nice to see Cirire win the whole, but Dani is just so...something that just needs a "reality check." Shane checked out long ago.

Rob & Amber almost won "The Amazing Race 7". He is a great strategist & really knows how to manipulate & play these games. Amber was a very strong partner during the race & IMO they would have won it except for some producer intervention at the last minute. There was a lot of fan opposition to their winning another million dollar reality show.
My top three, in terms of playing the game, are:
Terry - very physically tough, and has the extra idol in his back pocket
Cerie - not as ditzie as she first seemed
Shane - crazy, but has a certain Survivor appeal.
Aris is ok too, but is too passive. Danielle is completely blah. She should go next, IMO.

Umm, there have been firemen, marines, ex-NFL football players, (not to mention this season's astronaut) on Survivor. Most never win Survivor (except for the fireman guy). I've seen many women kick butts in the challenges due to speed and their smaller size. So there's not one thing unfair about what Terry has managed to do. In fact it's very rare. The only other person to do as well in immunity challenges was Colby, and he wasn't trained in any sort of military role.
As far as Terry's foreign map reading skills, are you kidding me?The clues were on parchment and laid out like a treasure map straight out of some Disney movie. A map of Middle Earth would have been more geographically correct than the clues they were given. The clues were so easy, I thought for sure that the producers blew it because I figured it out from Day 1. I can't believe that the people on Exile Island before Terry didn't find it. That speaks more to their own stupidity than any map-reading prowess on the part of Terry.
Terry lost this game long before he won the car. As soon as the tribe merged unevenly, he was doomed. So I say, kudos to him for winning everything he can (including the car).

Excellent points Skate Sandee. As I said before I would rather see Shane win than Danielle.
I love Terry and I hope he wins. He takes everything in stride and is trying to get poeple on his side, what wrong with that??

I totally see your "theoretical" point. But the facts lay where they are in what has been happening, not so much what has happened before. Points on body structure also seem irrelevant due to Terry's small frame, the ladies acutely have a disadvantage in chest and hips in any thing that would give an advantage to a smaller / skinnier person.
"Takes everything in stride" ???? How is that not a point in anyones favor EXSEPT Shane? And getting people on your side, I don't even know why that would be brought into proving Terry is a good guy. I am sure he is, he seems like it in MOST respects - not saying I don't overall like him, I just don't like him being in the game anymore.
No I am not kidding you on the map issue, he has and advantage reading maps that are no commonly seen by other - weather it looks like Disney made it or not, and it was only a point to show how much more experience he has had then ANYONE in these particular types of things. And I believe I did say that it was far to easy to find, for anyone yes. Your other examples are not close to having any similarity to Terry's training - Navy pilots are trained far and away differently and more extensively then ANY other. And the closest you can come is the 64 (I think) year old astronaut, not to fair of a comparison. Plus Terry's way of trying to get votes by bringing an American flag is just tacky. If he really cared, he wouldn't have brought it because there is no way of properly displaying it. He must have forgotten the treatment of the flag guidelines - for someone who doesn't come from a military background I would understand. Particularly one of the most prestigious positions are government has to offer. About the only thing I could say is questionable about his personality, other wise I would like to shake his hand for the service he has provided for my country just as I would a Russian, French or German service man. They are admirable in my book because of what they do whether I agree with the politics or not.
BTW, IMO, the women don't just kick butt because of the smaller size - which is not really true anyway - but there ability to just be a little more on the smart side. They have a fantastic ability to appear like a "dear in the headlights" without acutely being so - guys can be gullible morons (speaking from experience) - Shane is proof of that. Not saying that Dani is smarter then she appears - maybe, maybe not - but playing without playing is a viable strategy and I feel that Cirie would win it up against her. Now that Bruce is not in the mix I will be for C or D.
I appreciate your opinion, and hope that this is only in fun as just a somewhat heated but still simple "fan of the opposing team." If it it at all offensive I apologize, that is not my intent. Just having a rivalry of a game.

There are only three more immunity challenges, right? So if Terry wins this week, I don't see how he can miss getting in the final two.
The next-to-last immunity challenge is usually something about remembering facts about your tribe mates. Terry (and men generally) suck at that -- "real men" never listen to anything anyone else says.
So Terry loses the next-to-last immunity challenge and uses the idol.
The last challenge is endurance -- Terry wins in a walk. (What, Aras is suddenly going to grow some gumption?)
Terry's best chance is if Shane is still left to take to the final two, now that he can't take Courtney.
So it comes down to whether the jury votes for who played the game best or who they like the best.
(BTW, Colby gave up a sure million dollars just for the sake of chivalry. He took Tina to the final two simply because it was the gallant thing to do.
Or maybe he just couldn't stand the thought of Keith winning even the second place money, LOL.)

I assume the disparity you are thinking is in the age difference between Terry and his fellow tribe member (whose name escapes me at the moment), and not the training. Based on my own personal knowledge, many fighter pilots wash out of NASA astronaut training because it's too intense. Only a small % can handle it.
Have you watched this show before? Terry isn't the first person to bring a flag. In fact Terry seems to be channeling Colby more and more. Both brought a flag as their luxury item. Both overwhelming won the challenges. The only difference is that Colby was on the side of the merge with the greater number of members.
The only reason I'm enjoying Terry's wins is that it's making the others crazy. Otherwise it would be boring to see it be all Casaya at this point. I don't like any of the remaning players, so I can't work up the same amount of passion as you have for or against any of them. Shane is a drama queen, Terry is macho and smug, Aras is lacking in any leadership qualities and charisma, Cirie is great with the "Outwit" part and nothing else and Danielle is plain annoying. The only player I would have been rooting for is Bruce. Sadly that wasn't meant to be. So I'm not all that interested in who wins. But of course I'll watch on the slim hope that something unexpected will happen (I'm not holding my breath).
Mathman, once it gets down to Final 4, I thought he isn't able to use the idol. So if he wins the next 2 IC, his best bet is to give it away to someone that he hopes will bring him to the Final 2. I just don't see him winning the whole thing no matter who he sits next to in the Final 2. At least it wouldn't be a blowout against him. He'd get his two former tribemates votes and maybe Bruce. But I can't see him getting anything more than that in terms of votes.
Too bad the idol isn't playing more of a spoiler role. I hope they keep it for future Survivors. It's got a lot of potential (particularly since it doesn't have to be revealed until after a vote).

Totally agreeing with you! ...well 99%
Yes the ONLY diff i was saying with Terry and "the astronaut" is age. If they were both Ts age I think I would have had the same feelings as I do for T now, yet if the older guy was still in it I would be much more for him to win, JUST because of age. My father is still doing concrete flatwork at 72 (he is still a frick'n animal), was with SAC and he feels it is not fair either. The show reminds him of what training they went trough yet his was in the snow and mountains. I also am aware that astronauts go through the same training and more - been a history of military inquisitor (not necessary a fan of war, but it does interest me now) growing up in that sort of environment once I was in my late 20s. Mainly, if Terry was 60, yah OK. If the challenges were "less" on the obviously similar to a Navy pilots training with said pilot being in their "semi-prime" I would be hip to that too.
Yes I watched with Colby and felt similar but not really because of Terry's back ground and could understand it more as a "to Honor" with Colby. Terry I feel is just "lapping it up."
Other then Dani being annoying...well I kinda do agree with that, sorry just smitten with the "bunny smile and light accent." I agree with everything you said. I really wanted Bruce too
I also like the "hidden Immunity Idol, but think it needs to be MUCH harder to acquire next time if kept. I also am under the same impression with one chance left to use it. Also I have not heard if it can be stolen? Can it?:scratch:

Colby and his tribe got 'lucky' in being the dominant team during the merge. They lost the immunity challenge, but Mike Skupin fainted into the fire. He was burned and had to withdraw from the game. If he hadn't, Colby's team would not have been the majority tribe. Also, Mike probably would have threatened Colby's dominance during the remaining challenges - maybe?.
Terry's idol is only good enough to get him into the final 4. If casaya sticks together, Terry could just sit out this immunity challenge and use the idol. Or if he wins immunity, he could try to convince someone to partner him if he gives that person the idol.
