I wanted to reach through the TV and throttle him.

YOU HAVE TWO IDOLS! FUCKING PLAY ONE!

Dude's that dumb, he deserved to get voted off.

Of course, like always on this show, it's all about the editing. He had no idea; he had no reason to play it.

He dug his own grave. Sorry about that one.

He had two and there were, what?, only two or three other opportunities to use the Immunity Idol. There was a good chance that he'd win immunity later on if they had a "physical" challenge so what was he saving them for? From the editing, it looked like he thought something might be up so there was no reason to save one. I'm sure that Dalton Ross will be all over this in his weekly recap later today at ew.com. This might have been the worst strategical move since Lex trusted Boston Rob.

I think this was the worst ever. I mean, he almost got burned last time too. If you're a betting man your $$ has to be on Amanda now, with the guy who won immunity this week and Lunchlady as the darkhorses (he needs more immunity wins though). The Stewardess, PG and Anorexia Girl are all too bitchy.

Question: When they pixelate Amanda's ass, do you think they are blocking out an escaping cheek or an exposed crack?

At the end of the show, where the voted off get there last words in he's sitting there holding both his idols going 'Doh, I had two but didn't use 'em..."

Lunchlady could surprise people. She took a big step this week. Amanda's a good bet too, but you have to think someone's going to figure out that she's running the show soon.

Don't know, but whichever it is, I wish they would stop.

The Idol must be played before the Final Four, so he would have had to use them in the next two tribal councils. He was not smart enough to realize how much of a threat everyone else viewed him as.

I agree that Amanda is in the drivers seat. Right now I see Amanda, Courtney, and Flight attendant Todd as the final three (if it is a final three vote again). They'll get rid of PG and Erik the next two weeks. Then Denise will go, as they'll fear bringing her into the final 3. Todd adn Amanda will battle it out for votes, as I think no one will vote Courtney the million bucks. I'm sure both JR and James will blame Todd for their ousters. As it stands now, I think Amanda will win.

Perhaps Amanda will now turn her attention to getting rid of Todd... or will that expose her (and not in an exposure of her rear way) as the leader? She's been very good at manipulating but not seeming to be in control.

I just realized... having two Immunity Idols this late in the game is like being in first place by 7 with 17 games to play! It's the Biggest Collapse In Survivor History!

I'd say Colby taking Tina instead of Keith to the final 2 of Survivor 2 was a bigger choke job. But this is right up there.

Dreamz could have made a deal with Yau-Man to whack Earl and at least give him a shot. He screwed up pretty badly too.

Don't think she can...or should. Eliminating Todd exposes her as a manipulator, and it also opens up a way for PG, mulletlady, and Erik to take over the game. Keeping Todd around also keeps the target squarely on his back. If Amanda is smart, she tries to go to final 3 with Courtney, who few seem to like and fewer would deem worthy of $1mill, and Todd, the guy who more people will blame for their seat on the jury (JR, James, Frosty).

Yup. If Todd, Courtney or PG have any intentions of winning, they'll need to team up in an all-villian Final 3. That would be appropriate for this season where there have been so few likeable characters anyway.

Would James deal Milledge for Ryan Church and Brian Schneider?

PG should have told James what was happening, thereby whacking Todd and giving them an even 3-3 split (PG, Eric, James vs Amanda, Anorexia, and Lunchlady).

John Cougar Lunchbucket

I think she should have done that too, but PG's survival instinct is too strong to have done something that could have killed her. She's probably intelligent enough to surmise James would go to the power brokers with that info, forcing them to change their minds.

Well that was a boring season.

Amanda did everything she needed to do to put herself in position to win, but she didn't have the stomach to fight in front of the jury. Her jury perfomance was one of the worst I've seen, while Todd did very well.
Interesting thing about the jury's on these shows. You never know whether they will "respect" the schemer for his gameplay, or throw their vote somewhere else because they were "backstabbed".

I didn't watch the reunion show...who gave Courtney her two votes? I think Denise was one?

They didn't say; I really thought that going out of her answer, she had gotten JR's vote, but then Todd blew him away. I figure Courtney got Denise and Frosti.

I was actually rooting for Courtney at the end there.
