I have despised Cirie the entire series. I'm amazed she managed to stay below the radar since she doesn't win any challenges and she sits on her fat a$$ and manipulates the rest of a very stupid final group of women. Amanda will probably win, but honestly, none of them deserve to win anything - a horrible group, the worst ever on Survivor.

I've gotten to the point where I think I'm done with Survivor. I really don't like anyone left in the final four and I don't really care who wins.

I knew having past contestants was going to be a mistake, and they've totally manipulated the show. There's only one person left, that's a so-called 'fan' but I don't see them making it to the final two. What a let down to what seemed to be a somewhat promising season.

In a year where I've given up Big Brother, I find myself also giving up on Survivor. I don't think I'm going to watch the finale.

Ozzy, Jason & Ozzy Jr aka Birthday boy were too trustworthy for there gal pals and then got screw because of that which make them good boyfrends but bad survivor players.

the funny thing is Cirie is in a postion where she smart enough to leave the bread crums, but not get too much credit where it leaves her feeling that she a threat.

Sadly if Erik played the fool, then Natalie should be careful she became a tool. Sure this felt al la Nat trying to outwit Jason but that because she thought of it...this time she was used by the three witches...which funny it felt like I was watching an episode of gossip girl...So who going to be Survivor Girl XOXO

Bash, while I don't remember the exact specifics about the Palau season, I still think the situations, to a degree, mirror each other. Erik wanted to fit in and be friends, so did Ian in his season. All I'm trying to say is that there is a Survivor precedent for the giving up of an immunity necklace, for the sake of saving grace with the jury. Both men did it and wound up on the jury as a result. Both decisions were dumb..... Erik's is only the dumbest now, because it's the most recent.

How can you be a fan of this show and not understand its rules?

But honestly, this guy was in the final 5 because he wasn't a threat - he won challenges, that's why he lasted that long, so he had the "outplay" working for him - but he is as witless as a rock. I actually didn't watch the second part of the show because it bored me. I wasn't even angry about Cirie anymore - the idea was genious, she came up with it and honestly at the moment I think she has the "outwit" 100% on her side - and that ALWAYS in the end is better than the outplay. She can really win this thing because in the end nobody can be angry about how she manipulated the others. That's the game. And while doing it she's never really hateful. She's a bitch I'll give you that, but she's not really a mean bitch. She's like the teenage friend you had who can not stop gloating while winning against you in a game - the difference is that the people on the game don't see her gloat, only WE as the TV audience do. So imagine her just winning, gloating on the inside and having the time of her life - how can you really hate that? I guess for her the 1on1 interviews with the camera crew were some sort of release for all that gloating and happiness she wasn't allowed to display while playing the game. And honestly don't we all think things to ourselves while interacting with other people all day, not saying them and while doing so not being spiteful, hateful and awful to THEM? We all know the 7 deadly sins and deep in her core I don't think Cirie is anywhere near evil. She's just loving it that she's actually winning her game. She grew on me I have to admit. How can you just NOT love the way she plays the game?

Hey I loved Hatch back in the day and always felt weary about what kind of person he is.

Turns out he's a manipulative person who thought he could outwit CBS into paying the taxes and later on thought who could outwit the government to evade said taxes. Didn't work. Too bad.

So I really hope Cirie will be smart enough to pay her taxes once she won :-)

speechless. the best part was his carefree speech after getting voted out. 'it was so great to hang out with these people. i stood a foot away from jeff probst when he put my flame out.'
dopes!

Cirie would eat Richard Hatch for breakfast. He's nothing in her game.

Why would any single guy in this game out numbered by women think he was safe? Erik could have possible rode the immunity challenges to then end. Whatta dope!

This move wasn't the dumbest Survivor move ever, it actually echoes the Palau Season, when Tom & Ian & that chick were in the final 3 and Tom somehow guilted Ian into giving his immunity necklace to him, only to be voted out and becoming the final Jury vote.... In the same way the foursome was able to guilt Erik into giving Nat the necklace, Tom used the same tactic to propel himself to victory in the end... I just think that while it was a stupid move for Erik, we've seen some equally dumb moves throughout this season also (the lack of playing the immunity necklace, playing a phony immunity necklace, etc.).
Erik wouldn't have won anyhow.... Amanda made a good point on the beach by saying he hadn't been at all tactical and was always used as a vote, rather than the brainchild of any good ideas.
I am actually looking forward to the final. Go Cirie!

Yes, it was a dumb move by Erik & I couldn't believe he would give up a sure thing, esp. considering he'd mentioned earlier how he knew the women wanted to get rid of him. And, having witnessed the taking down of Ozzy & Jason. Good grief.

But what it came down to is that he wanted to be liked. They knew it & played into it. He cared more that the favorites liked him than that he won a million bucks. He even said as much in his exit speech. Now, he's still an ice cream scooper, but now he's one who lost the respect of the people he wanted to like him.

These four women played the men in this game like a string quartet. But they come across as vicious, manipulative & back-stabbing & I can't help but wonder how this will affect their lives once their 15 minutes are over. Personally, I wouldn't want to be friends with any of them. And only one of them will get the money.
