Survivor 25: Phillipines Discussion Thread

[Skywalker]

Kinda rolled my eyes when Lisa still voted with Tandang after all the grief she's taken from them and especially after Abi straight up said she didn't trust her.

Thank goodness Skupin voted with the non-Tandangs and broke up that Abi/Pete/Artis alliance. I'm still rooting for either Denise or Malcolm to win this thing, which would be hilarious to see after they got stuck on one of the worst tribes ever.

[wissaboo]

I really like Penner. He seems like a great guy. Can't see him winning unfortunately. Though he doesn't seem to garner the hate the way Skupins does. Abbey just needs to be gone. I don't know how such unpleasant people always make it so far on these shows.

was shocked to see how lisa voted. What is she thinking?

I want to see Denise or Malcolm to win as well.

[Yoda]

Poor Artis, dumped off the show like that after getting zero screen time from the edit all season long! On the bright side I won't exactly be crying over the rest of his alliance.

The Facts of Life chick is a spineless loser.

I'm cheering for the returnees at this point.

Because the good players want to take those unlikeable people with them to the end. It's easier to garner votes from the jury over people like Abi.

I think Jeff put truth serum in the water. These people can't keep secrets for more than thirty seconds without blurting them out to the world. I keep expecting one of them to randomly admit to an unsolved murder during tribal.

[Garak]

That was a great roasting of Abby at tribal. Loved every second of it. My wife wants to beat her up.

[Roger Wilco]

I don't hate Abi, but she's really not a very intelligent person.

And I can't help thinking maybe it would've been an intersting move for Penner or Skupin to vote Malcolm. They would've gotten rid of both idols, and a very strong player, and kept one who's no threat whatsoever for the final prize. Ideally they would've done it without telling anybody, even Abi and Pete...

But apparently Abi is way too obnoxious for anyone to consider that. And it was quite satisfying to see Pete get voted off after declaring himself "smart".

[wissaboo]

I kind of felt sorry for Abby. Just a tiny bit. But Jeff was almost forcing them to talk about her. I think they should have brought up how mean she was rather than just rude.

I liked the one comparison of taking unwinnable people to the finale is like taking someone who can't play poker to a poker game so you can take their money. It's a better game if strong people go to the finale

[wissaboo]

ugh. She's still there. I was freaking out thinking Denise was going home.

[Trekker4747]

What's wrong with Abby? I was hoping it was Denise, Penner works too, though.

She's such a child, I don't know how can even function in real life.

[wissaboo]

I wonder what her reaction is to watching herself on the show.

She is horrid.

Malcolm and Denise, the left-overs from the little tribe that couldn't might pull the whole game off. Nice. Shame to see Penner go, but I can't wait to see him at the final.

[Greg Cox]

The thing is, Abi (not "Abby") might stick around just because she has absolutely zero chance of winning the jury vote at the final tribal council. At this point, you really do need to target the likeable players, not the obnoxious one who is getting on everyone's last nerve.

Of course, that means putting up with Abi for another ten days or so . . . which may be more than some people are capable of!

I know that is a common tactic, but I hate it. There are just people on the show I'd rather be watching then her.
