Survivor - Fiji (spoilers)

[John Crichton]

I was a little surprised, until TC that Alex didn't manage to stir more up than he did. Once people made their comments I thought he was dead. Well, now the cannibalism begins! 1 more ep until the finale, right?

1 more ep until the finale, right?

At least two, I think. 6 people left (Yau-Man, Stacy, Cassandra, Earl, Boo, Dreamz), final 3 at tribal council means probably 4 people going into the final episode.

It seems like once you get to the final two (or three?) it is largely up to the audience, no?

Not sure I follow- do you mean the home viewing audience, or the Jury? The final decision is up to the jury, and they've made their choice before the show even airs, so no edits have been made yet.

Doesn't the audience vote on something, too? Or is that just for who gets a car?

 

[Cthulhudrew]

The only things the audience have voted for in the past were a special extra million dollar award during the All-Stars season, which they gave to Rupert. Some think that the reason they came up with that reward was because Rupert was so popular during his season but didn't win, and wanted to give him something- but only the most skeptical people believe that.

(I can see an argument for it, frankly, and am torn on whether it should have been Rupert or Boston Rob- who was the second favorite- but it's neither here nor there.)

There was also an audience vote for a car last season that Ozzy won (again, one of those- did they do it because they wanted to give him something? moments).

Whether they'll do anything this season or not, I couldn't say, but it's not a standard procedure.

(I'd completely forgotten about the car giveaway until you brought it up, actually. )

Really? There will be a final 3 and usually they vote off two in the finale. I hope there is 3 total left and you are right. With Amazing Race coming to an end this Sunday, I want to extend my fix a bit longer.

EDIT: Finale is on 5/13. So we'll get this Thursday's ep then the finale/reunion 3 days later.

 

[Mark CMG]

So how many get voted off next episode?

 

[John Crichton]

I think just one. The finale is usually a final four where 2 people get voted off. In this case there are 6 left so one is gone leaving 5 for the 2 hour finale where the last 2 will be gone.

Bye bye Alex...

Yippee....

I was surprised that everyone voted him off....no new alliances were exposed.

I wonder if there will be a big scramble by everyone to find the other hidden immunity idol? There are three who could really use it desparately and three others who might like to find it to make sure their control is absolute.
