I agree Abi can dish it out but not take it where it gets over the top is when more folks get involved. One person getting attacked by 3 or more is not necessary no matter what the situation. For all of them to be laughing & talking about her under the shelter was hurtful after the fact. That is Jr. high behavior I don't cotton to that.

Just Abi being Abi and I agree that her former alliance was way out of bounds. Karma came back to visit...

Yoga Joe is now Survivor MacGyver. What will he be next epi?

He very well could have been feeling sorry for her crying all alone but he was also wanting her to join his alliance.
I disagree about them using Abi for numbers only. Jeff already made a comment about how Abi would be the perfect person to sit next to in final three. I believe that it is truly where his head is. It's just a bonus that she also happen s to help number wise in the alliance.

I think it is dumb that they are switching things up already. To me it smells like a survivor executive conspiracy to keep Spencer in the game. Really lame. It would have been interesting to see how the 7 person alliance would have turned on themselves after voting Spencer out next.

No, this was the plan all along. They feared one alliance would form and pick the others off one by one with little in the way of drama or fanfare.

The Spence is in trouble still, unless his new tribe consists of only members from Bayon. He'll be gone before he hits puberty.

I can't imagine anyone voting to give Abi $1,000,000. Her only hope is to make herself repulsive enough for someone like Jeff to take her to the finals. She's playing for 2nd place.

I agree that Terry and Jeff weren't fooled. I think their sympathy was fake and know they can manipulate her by getting on her good side.

How can we know for sure it was pre planned from the start? Either way, it seems like they should let them play. In all likely hood Abi would have started drama somehow when the alliance would have had to turn on itself.

Even if Spencer does not get into a majority alliance he has about doubled his odds of avoiding tribal council all together now that there are three tribes and only one goes go to tribal.

Survivor MacGruber, Last Man in the Island, won't be for a few episodes but maybe for the SNL version.

We can't know for sure, such is life.

However there are/were many Survivor media types that were invited along for the first couple episodes and so I think if the show's producers went "off the island" and manipulated the game, one or some of those would for sure catch that aspect. No, it appears that this was the plan all along.

Abi reminds me of the middle school drama queens I have taught. They can be meaner than crap but if someone so much as say boo to them they have a meltdown. She will not get off my TV screen soon enough.

On the other hand, I'm quite happy Spenser is staying on my TV screen at least a little longer.

I disagree that Terry and Jeff were fake to Abi. They seemed pretty sincere to me, and doesn't anyone think that if they weren't "fooled" or didn't have true sympathy for Abi atleast one of them would have said so in the diary sessions to us viewers?
