I think that Kenny's team has recognized that they are not going to win much and are making things easier for themselves at merge by eliminating people that are a threat to win personal immunity. I think that is the right move for that team. If they had eliminated someone weak and won the next couple weeks they still would have been even with the other tribe and ace would probably have flipped anyways.
Totally agree, if you're losing anyways, get rid of the stronger players so at the merge your odds of winning personal immunity are higher.

I'm actually starting to really like Sugar, I loved the way she played it off with Ace you could tell he was concerned he needed the idol but I don't think he ever quite realized that he needed it because Sugar was voting him off.

She did a very good job of making him think he was being paranoid.

Susie's thing was pretty funny too, literally telling another player well I was actually going to vote you off.

It would be comical if they decided to mix it up and not merge for awhile, that team would be screwed they would lose every time. And I argree with you Russ, Krystal has to be the worst former olympic athlete ever she is really not good at anything. Not sure Sugar did herself any favors as no one will believe her now after stabbing the one person that had her back in the back. That whole team except for Matty are so weak they will be picked off right away regardless. The other team obviously planned their vote to flush an idol or get rid of Dan either way they were covered. Randy is just a crappy human being I knew it from the start the guy is a wedding photographer but went on and on about how he thinks marriage is stupid and its just a job. He obviously is a SINGLE crappy miserable guy.

If they don't merge yet and they lose again they will vote Sugar either to get her out or blindside her either way she was kinda dumb to get rid of a strong player that had HER back. I was surprised she didn't even talk to Ace and tell him what the little rat lier Kenny was telling her, just shows how gulable she is to just believe something from someone your not even close to. Although I kinda like her she is not going to last long now.

I think the other team sends Sugar to exile every time because they want to know when the merge happens who has the idol. If you send the same person every time, you know she probably has it. Also they see her as a weaker player so they figured if exile has fruit and stuff, don't send a strong player there send a weak one.

So I figure after the merge(looks like this week) they will probably vote Sugar right away to force her to play the idol.

Interesting thoughts.

I think they did the exact right thing by voting him off. They have a bad team Sugar is weak, Chrystal has to be the worst former Olympic athlete in history, she could barely stand on the log, and her attitude sucks.
Boy I could not agree more... Ace actually bugged me more than Randy does. Not to mention I have no idea why everyone acts like Ace is a strong physical player. He single handedly has gotten Fang losses ever since they redid the tribes. He broke two of the balls on one of the last challenges. Not to mention I think, and always thought, his accent was fake. When he failed at the downhill ball rolling challenge he got pissed and miraculously his accent went away for a good two or three sentences.

Now that's funny my girlfriend has been saying the same thing since the show started, his accent is fake.

Blindsided... The worst physical player in this game is becoming a mental giant... I could not stand her before but I am starting to like her game play... What do you think the odds are that she had no cousin that was friends with Marcus?

This it the first season since the KC girl won that I've followed Survivor. While I know it makes the show more interesting to the audience, which keep the ratings, the fact that one team was playing the game so far above the other that it required the producers to interfere not once, but twice sits very poorly with me.

Kenny and Crystal were playing losing strategies and aligning themselves with loser allies that were being eliminated. Now the show has basically given them a do-over and someone who was dominating like Marcus was got hit early just because of the shakeup.

Agree DWKB Marcus got screwed because his team was kicking ass, so the show stepped in AGAIN to try and even things up and he got eliminated because of it. Sucks that if you play too good the show steps in and gives the weak players on the losing team new UNEARNED power to eliminate someone strong. Just kinda lame really losing interest in this season because of all the supposed twists, just say what it is your stepping in because one team sucked so badly they were all going to be eliminated. If dumb ass Kenny or Krystal win this show I will never watch Survivor again!

The host Jeff Probst says that the twists were scripted prior to the contest starting. He has made mention that he has had a hard time not giving away the twist prior to them implementing them. From day one, he says, the merger banquet was planned during a week that the merger was not going to happen and he said that knowing it, it was hard to think they could not see it in his reactions to some of their comments.

A bunch of behind the scenes stuff here... Interviews with the host, producers, behind the scenes puzzle inventions, etc... You can see in one of the behind the scenes videos that even the challenges are already put together... So it really looks like the twists are already built in, not being done on the fly to screw up the works as they unfold...

BS^ Of course they say they are planned, not like they are going to admit changing it up to make it more compelling instead of the one team kicking the crap out of the other repeatedly.
