Results - week 10

Another great episode tonight!  I'm surprised at how good this season is!  Russell found the immunity idol again - for the third time - but this time by seeing the video clue that he and four others won at the reward challenge.  Lucky for him this time, he didn't have to use it as Shambo and the old Foa Foa tribe voted for Laura and the old Galu tribe all voted for Natalie which resulted in a 5-5 tie.  During the re-vote John, not wanting to leave his fate in the game to chance, switched sides and changed his vote to Laura, who was ultimately voted out.  Shambo was all smiles as soon as Laura had no chance of winning the immunity challenge.

31 entries in the pool had Laura.  Not too much changed at the top and bottom.  This week's darkhorse for a come-from-behind prize is Tara K, who is currently in 20th but will no doubt rise many ranks in the coming weeks.

Have a great weekend everyone,

Results - week 9

Another pretty good episode!  Russell finds his second immunity idol without a clue, or even knowing a third one existed (he didn't know Erik, who was voted out last week, found the second one but didn't tell anyone).  Knowing all the former Galu tribe was going to vote for him, all that Russell and his three other friends had to do was decide who to vote off and have Russell play his idol at tribal council.  Since Laura won individual immunity again, the former Foa Foa tribe decided to vote off Kelly, who never saw it coming.  Although I don't like Russell, the look of disbelief on the former Galu people as Russell played his idol (correctly this time) was entertaining.  They had even brushed off the thought that he might have found an idol again.

22 entries in the pool had Kelly, including Louie at the bottom, who only has two picks left.  Michelle remains at the top with 8 of the 10 contestants left in the game.  This week's darkhorse is Monique, who climbed 11 spots to 29th and still has 6 picks left.

Have a great weekend everyone,

Results - week 8

Tonight's episode was pretty good!  The tribes's merged into one - 4 from Foa Foa, 8 from Galu.  Evil Russell put everything in motion to vote off Laura, but she won immunity, so then Erik was blindsided - a result of his over-cockiness, scheming, and telling the rest of them "how it's going to be".  He joins the long list of survivors who got voted off before they could play their immunity idol.  The episode was suspenseful till near the very end.  And evil Russell was as cocky and offensive as ever (in his interviews).

Erik was the second most popular pick in the pool - 45 entries had him.  So the minority of entries that didn't have him jumped up relatively high in rankings.  Michelle is still the top dog to beat, having 8 picks remaining out of 11 left on the show.

In the preview for next episode, it looks like evil Russell might be in trouble because everyone's onto him.  Have a great weekend everyone,
