Episode #10, #11, & Finale

Well... I almost completed my plan of commenting on every episode individually... and I almost made it. My recent Call has taken some time. Anyway, I will jump right to tonight's finale episode.

Thoughts:

1. I didn't like Amanda choice on only taking Todd in the reward challange. I would have taken none but probably two and then voted off the one I didn't take. You knew Courtney and Denise would talk while they were gone.
2. I wondered the wisdom in telling Todd you didn't trust him.
3. Does anyone else hate that remembrence walk?
4. Can I say it: SHUT UP JEFF!
5. Who else was pulling for Denise in that final immunity challange?
6. If I'm Amanda... I vote Todd off because I can out talk Courtney and Denise.
7. Denise got herself voted off when she talked about Amanda "having her back."
8. Congrats Denise!
9. Way to freak out, Amanda, after tribal council, because you made the WRONG decision on who to keep.
10. Does anyone else HATE those stupid speeches they make.
11. I think that was the first time I heard someone apologize ahead of time in their entry speech.
12. Jean-Robert had one of the longest questions ever!
13. Was the jury drunk?
14. Did anyone get the feeling that Amanda was quickly sinking everytime she talked? She should of kept Denise!
15. That was one of the lamest question and answer sessions I have seen.
16. May be this should be a rule: Don't tell a member of the jury that someone else deserves a million dollars.
17. They need to get jury members with higher IQ's.
18. Did Denise dress down for the final jury session?
19. Do people actually go into Survivor thinking that they or other people will not lie? If so, again we need higher IQ's.
20. Before they vote: I say Todd wins.
21. AND I was right!
22. What was up with the fashion statement Courtney and Todd were trying to make
23. Congrats to Kim E. & Gail G. for winning!

Well fans! That is it. I do need to still get some $$$ from a couple of people! Then I will mail out winnings. Surivor 16: Top Secret Location has currently been filming from Oct. through mid-December. I will let everyone know about the Feb. 2008 pool.

Episode #9

"Backdoor Special"

Wow... I gotta say that that was one of the best backdoor vote-offs I have ever seen. James didn't have a CLUE! Normally someone leaks some info, but not even Denise or anyone gave him a hint. I know some people might say that he was stupid not to play one of the idols, but he (and I) woulda thunk that he would have had some idea.

Besides that... here are my thoughts.

1. Cool reward challenge. Although I wish they would have voted another person off instead.
2. Denise gets to go along and practice some kung fu... did you see that one dude bleeding from his head. Too cool for me.
3. Over/Under 75 lbs on Courtney's weight.
4. I liked how no one got out of the cave when they came home. Peih-Gee is such a needy person.
5. Enough of the Adam and Eve analogy from James already. That didn't work out well for them and it didn't for James either.
6. I liked the immunity challenge. I was surprised Courtney could even get it to the board. James was just off from hitting the 5 pointer too.
7. Does anyone else wonder why they keep blurring out Amanda's rear... is it a pull your pants up or down deal.
8. I think that if it was me I would have like to wait one more time to vote James out... although I suppose he then uses the immunity idols next time. It looks like the next episode will feature Denise as the swing vote. Could be bad for favorite Amanda, thus her downgraded status, if she chose the wrong side.
9. I know I said it before, but MAN... what a blindside.
10. I have no reason to say this, but $20 says they have a car or food challenge next time. We will see.

Top 5:
5. Courtney (only because I have to)
4. Denise (you didn't believe she was #5, but wait, she is #4)
3. Amanda
2. Erik
1. Todd
