I predict Jerri for the win. She's been winning challenges and has some good momentum.
Colby never wins challenges! It's funny. Did you see him crying and bitching to his brother during the water challenge?! lol
Monday night downloading excitement! |

I have more respect for Sandra's game, because she actually played the game. Jerri has played a passive game and has let other people dish out the big moves.
Just last week, there was a scene when the girls were talking to Jerri, and they were telling her who to vote for. She was acting like she really didn't know what was going on and had to be brought up to speed on the latest developments.
In any case, it really doesn't matter because it's all opinion and speculation anyway from the edits that we see. |
Ok, I am being dead serious, how exactly is Sandra's "game" more played than Jerri's?
Sandra tried to get Russel off, and it didn't work. What exactky has been her other "plays"
I am not saying that jeeri has made many, or that she masterminded them, but Jerri hs been willing to make he hard vote twice now, and Sandra has caved into the status quo each and every time. She has voted with the Villains each vote.
If jerri's lack of movement gets her to the final 4 then thats not a bad strategy, and voting off Danielle gets her one step further than with her still there.
What was Sandra going to accomplish if she had ACTUALY succeeded in getting Russel off? She would have screwed the villains, killed Parvati's alliance and chances, the most hated person would be gone and the finals would be a likely 3 way competition, and the Heroes would vote her off in 5th spot.
So seriously how would swicthing to the Heroes and voting off Russel have actuay helped her. And this is the game we are supposed to "respect"
I have much more respect for Jerri for doing her challanges doing them fairly well, and following Rusels detrimental rulings. At least then she can say "yeah I followed Russel or I'd be next!!, don't see any of you guys writing his name down" |

So that's your way of saying you have NO ANSWER for the question I asked. Just say that then instead of resorting to a pathetic and subtle jab it me. |

You've been patronizing from the beginning. I have no interest in provoking you further. |

No I haven't, I asked you in all seriousness what the plays that Sandra was making is. I am not being patronising in any way.
I freely admit that Jerri is a follower.
if you are not going to get into the discussion, the get the hell off the board.
YOu claim that Sandra is "playing the game" I simply asked you in what way, as I for the most part disagree, and can not think of any real ways she is playing the game ( or at the very least she is not playing it much differently from Jerri)
So don't sit there all high and mighty and tell me I am being patronising. I even phrased it with "all seriousness" so that you wouldnt think I was simply being a dick and trying to prove you wrong.
I was genuinely interested in what YOU THOUGHT set Sandra apart from Jerri, as I simply do not see it. BUt perhaps if you could elaborate I may see the situation differently. |

JT: Sandra ( she tried to warn them about Russel)
Rupert: Sandra ( duh)
Amanda: Parvati ( past freindship/respect of the moves she made)
Danielle: Parvati ( duh)
Candace: Sandra ( ???)
Courtney: Sandra ( duh)
Coach: Sandra ( most honorable)
Jerri: Parvati ( Saved her ass at the merge, gave her a fighting chance)
Colby: Sandra
6-3, Russel will get zero votes. I actually think that the vote may be 5-4. Candace is just as likely to vote for Parvati in my opinion. |
LOL Coach went for the "warrior" as opposed to the "honorable" and I guess Amanda didn't like Parvati too much, I had these votes flipped.
Other than that 6-3 for Sandra, as I called it  |

I have yet to pick a winner for Survivor correctly, but I have been close on several occasions.
I picked Yau Man to win in Fiji, Big Tom to win in Africa, and Adam to win Cook Islands. They all made top 5 or better.
The difference between my predictions and others are, I make them early. After 2-3 episodes. Not with 2 weeks to go. |

Fair enough, I have never once even tried to pick the winner pre merge. its basically like looking at a bunch of horses names for a horse race and saying , um that one. For me its like the Stanley Cup Playoffs, you get a season to watch the teams and then you try to pick the winner.
The only time I ever "predicted" a winner was the time I was in a Survivor pool, we were all assigned a survivor, I was assigned Yul Kwon, Bonus for me. I said that he would win, but only because he was my ticket to the money.
Also, as I stated, you can just te'l after a while who's going to make the top 5 or so based on the amount of screen time they get.
I am pretty sure I have only guesses correctly on Sandra though, no wait, not rue, I naild Brian Heiduk from Thailand as well |

Well if a prediction can be made at any time with equal consideration, then I'll wait until the final jury of Survivor: Nicuragua and then make a prediction.
I bet I'll get it right too. |

This season is terrible for a number of reasons
1) the episodes are not long enough, and we dont see enough interaction. We never know whats exactly going on and we wonder how the hell something happenned by the time the episode is over
2) Too many chiefs. This is why the strong players are gone first. In the first all stars they wanted the winners gone, now not so much, they want the strongest gone, at the peril of the tribe.
3) Sandra is gonna coast all the way to the end and she is likley going to win again, and then people are going to suggest that she is the "best player ever" for having won twice. All this because she basically made no moves, had her team sit her our for half of the challenges so was kept around for "not being a threat" yet being TOTALLY useless on EVERY challenge.
4) Russel is gonna make it to the end, get no votes because he isnt liked as opposed to playing the game well ( just like last season) People will vote for Sandra or the other person just becaus they aren't Russel ( just like Samoa)
Anyway here's a prediction (that I think will eventually happen)
Russel is going to give his Samoa Immunity Idol to someone convincing them it is the real one. Its gonna have to be someone dumb, like J.T
The idol will get played at Tribal council and ( much like Randy) a funny double cross blindside will happen |
Now now now, look at this post I made on April 14th. This was still pre merge, I called it for Sandra to win the game. I had this feeling for a couple weeks before this post, I just didn't come across the post on Daves til the first time I posted.
So I made my selection pre merge.
I make mine after a good couple weeks, and near the merge its just too early in week 1 or 2 or 3 to call a winner, then Survivor swaps the teams, throws in a twist and its all for nothing.
Most "twists" happen in weeks 3 to 7, so by the time the merge is dawning you generally know whats up |

Seoulio - damn.... good job.
Damn, Russell bitched a lot at the reunion. Well what did he expect? The public will always like the entertaining players, but whole point of the game is to get to the final 2 or 3 without causing a lot of harm to the jury.
You gotta know where that thin line is. |
