That is only 2 out of 27 winners not good odds for intellect folks.

I have to disagree her final words after she owned her mistakes were "I hope my team starves" that is not good sportsmanship in my book. Beside there is something deep seeded for a person to go to the level of destroying food that sustains you. She's cracked in the head to me sorry.

I think Tony is jealous of Cliff and wants him gone. I don't think it's just because Cliff has money. Cliff is likable and that's a threat to Tony. Maybe Tony is afraid Cliff is a better athlete. Or maybe he just doesn't like that Cliff is just better looking. But whatever the reason, the excuse he is giving that Cliff doesn't deserve to win because he is already a millionaire is just lame.

Tony simply doesn't want to compete with Cliff and wants him out as early in the game as possible even though Cliff has been an asset to the tribe while others haven't been as much. It will be interesting to see how much influence Tony has when the switch happens.

Of course, that's your opinion. I know she said what she said, but I still think it was not indicative of her overall character. Now, I get what you're saying about the food, but she did it because she thought she was being voted out. Garrett made massive mistakes trying to control everyone's game...that was her way of controlling something of her own. He should never have made her feel like he did when he had his little meeting.

Again, as I said before, I wasn't happy with her choices, but I do think it was a result of her being out of sorts. I can't hang her out just because when she was finally booted, she made a half-a$$ed comment. It didn't seem too severe to me nor was it filled with angst or hatred. JMO though...

Oh yes, this exactly. I don't know the reasons Tony hates Cliff, but this sounds plausible to me. And yea, I was really sweating them trying to lose to get rid of him. I like Cliff...he's just so enjoyable and seems so happy to me...it makes ME happy.

Anyway, it'll be really interesting when the merge takes place...nothing is for certain!

Yeah, she said half of her wanted to say she hoped her team starved but she said it with a little smile on her face so I took it to mean she was kind of joking about spilling the rice but didn't actually mean it. Who knows, I think she was losing it and just didn't know what she was doing or saying half the time.

I agree with you about the 2 our of 27 though. I just meant that they do better with others not so brainy around them because they need them. I don't think that brains has ever been outstanding in the game of "Survivor." Brains doesn't equal strategy. Teamwork does so brawn, which often involves teamwork, probably has the best chance.

I didn't expect Brains to do well in this competition although I didn't think they would be doing this badly.

It cracks me up how quickly the brains were dissolved. All because they thought keeping the weakest link was the smart thing to do? They may be smart but they can't strategize!

This is why I love this thread we can disagree with somebody and get our points across without name calling, screaming or other behaviors.

I see your point but I still have to respectfully disagree with the highlighted part above. So if a person is getting evicted it is OK to do as much damage before they leave essentially is what you are saying? Even though it was their own fault for getting evicted they still should make others pay for it.

Our world is to messed up now because we stopped holding folks accountable for their actions IMO. So we'll split you give the pass & I won't OK?
