I would cheer about that.  And I didn’t feel that way before tonight’s episode.  But they can go pronto.  

[dizzyd]

Day 22! Really that all, Jeff? That’s premerge in other countries.

Sue would be my first choice, and Teeny didn't look good this episode at all.  I still like Rachel.  Caroline I really have no opinion on.  If there's a plan b, my feeling is they might go after someone the others wouldn't suspect.  

[Pepper the Cat]

Yes!!

[truthaboutluv]

Sam is trying to rush this which you just can't do with that type of challenge. Based on the challenge Rachel won last week, she should be the favorite here. 

[LadyChatts]

I also wonder with Rachel, does it ever occur to her she might be increasing her threat level with everyone?  They know she has a powerful advantage.  We don't know for sure if anyone knows about her idol.  Genevieve might have given Teeny something to think about regarding Rachel's game play.  Now she's won another challenge.

Come on Rachel! You’re the only one of the 4 I like, yay!

[PaperTree]

Plan B?

[mojoween]

Thank Sol, Rachel.

How did they not discuss Plan B when they were at the Sanctuary?  

[truthaboutluv]

It'd be hilarious if the players got rid of Kyle for being too much of a challenge monster, only for Rachel to go on an immunity run.

And unlike Kyle, she has an idol AND an advantage. They ain't never getting rid of her.

Yeah, she's the one of the 4 I'd want to see leave least and I still think she's likable enough.  Hoping Operation Italy is still on and they come up with a new plan.  I really want to see the 4 get the smirks wiped off their faces tonight.

[dizzyd]

Please let it be Sue! I’d like her to have to spend time with Kyle. I’ll give Teeny a pass for her 1 time transgressions.

[DEL901]

I just looked it up on Wikipedia.  The last season of Survivor Romania was 103 days!    And the one before that, season 4, was 135 days. That is long enough to miss loved ones to the point of crying hysterically.  20 days?  I’ve gone on vacation longer than that.

I do like Rachel and Caroline. Maybe Sam. The rest can go.

This is why I think that their plan won't work.  They didn't have a Plan B.

[KaveDweller]

When is the last time Rachel can use her idol? Final 6 or final 5?

I don't want to give up on Teeny either.  Maybe she really was an open vote and felt Sam blew it by not picking her (or she really just likes Italian).  I'd like to lose Sue but I worry no one takes her seriously and figures she's the perfect person to sit next to in the end.  And I kept forgetting Caroline is there so maybe everyone else does too.

[Wildcard]

I'm guessing Andy tonight.

[LadyChatts]

I'd love it if Operation Italy works and Teeny was right about their not being an idol all along, and they blew getting Sam out.

But I think Sam and Genevieve need to let Andy do the talking.

[dizzyd]

I’m so over the pathetic idols that are just 1 step above the twig. Maybe save on spoiling the castaways with big food rewards and put some budget in idols.

[DEL901]

Sue is like the Picture of Dorian Gray in reverse.  I think she has a painting in her attic that is getting younger and younger.  

[Straycat80]

They are going to be so mad when they find out Gens idol is fake.

Unless they just didn't show it.  Suspense and all.

[gorgy]

let's just get to Sol's outfit already

[LadyChatts]

I'm getting too excited about this plan working.  It seems too perfect.  But Teeny seemed to fall for the idol.  

But Caroline is getting too cocky for someone that has barely gotten any airtime.

[MerBearHou]

Oh God, a Sue close-up!!!!  I can’t unsee that.

[Straycat80]

Caroline is off my like list, she scrounged around in Gen’s bag, I hate when people do that. 

[DEL901]

If this works, it could be BB’s Dan’s Funeral level of great.  But now Sue is talking about using her idol on Caroline.   Ugh.

Who'd have thought anyone would ever say that and mean it? 😆

[LadyChatts]

Now Sue is talking about playing her idol with Caroline.

Talk about the block a vote too.  

My feeling is Sam/Genevieve is going home.  This plan is just too perfect.  I think Andy might back out if he feels the votes won't be there.

[MerBearHou]

I absolutely HATE that they’re allowed to go through someone’s personal bag / things.

Indeed!  Didn't she shove it in her pocket when she was with Teeny?

I'm glad she didn't find it because she could have compared it to Sue's and know it was a fake.  But I agree, I've always felt like this should be a rule that bag searches are off-limits.  Praying even more that Caroline goes now.

That's a dumb reason.  It's perfectly fair game.  I freely say that I would do it, too.

[Haleth]

I hate smug Sue. 

[WatcherUp2]

Sue and her fucking smirk when she looked at Kyle. What a turd.

[LadyChatts]

Wow, I thought Kyle would be coming in with a big smile.

Seeing Sue give him that look makes me hope she does lose Caroline tonight.

[mojoween]

How is Teeny’s hair still so shiny?

He’s got his guns out. You happy?

[truthaboutluv]

Of course Sue throws a smirky smile Kyle's way while his face remains impassive. That woman truly was in a one-person war. Also, why is Sol and Gabe wearing matching sarongs?

If she makes the finals I hope she doesn't even try begging for his vote.  If she does I hope he tells her where she can shove that dirt all over her face.

[Thalia]

 

Why is Sue the only one with a dirty face?   Has she washed her face at all since they've been there, or is she refusing to wash off the make up she spackled on before getting on the island? 

[LadyChatts]

Caroline mentions how those left behind on the reward are the majority and had the time to talk.  Feel like it's another sign of a cocky power trip.  If she doesn't go tonight, I think her time is coming.

Her whole body is so dirty compared to everyone else.  I wonder if she ever bothers to even go swimming in the ocean?  Even if she's rolling around in the dirt looking for idols I can't believe she wouldn't go get clean.

I sort of think that's not dirt at all, there really is an issue with her face. Hate to bag on the lady but up close she's starting to look like the Cryptkeeper. :)

[LadyChatts]

So this foursome is definitely making it clear they are a foursome and calling the shots.  Hopefully it'll end with 'or so they think.'

[WatcherUp2]

Who died and made Teeny dictator tonight?
