WOOOOOOO HOOOOOO the cocky arrogant naked guy is gone! Richard Hatch is soooo butt ugly and thinks he is soooo smart.... loved seeing his naked ugly butt kicked to the curb!

The best part was that he totally didn' expect it!

aj

After what he did to Sue (and Kathy), I'm totally glad that Kathy voted for him. It looks like they left it in (as opposed to not showing it given all of the "decency" fallout these days) because it looks like Sue's going to make an issue of it next week. I mean, even if he's gay, that was just gross and totally uncalled for. Ick. I swear, I wouldn't be surprised if she sued or pressed charges or something. Anyone doing that outside of the game should have been arrested.

And I just realized I didn't watch to see who else did or didn't vote for Hatch... gotta go rewind the tape!

All right, so when they showed the warning about material in the episode that "may be inappropriate for younger viewers" at the beginning of the episode, my *first* thought was that Rob C was right....Amber and Rob WERE going to do it :p Then the more I thought about it (and after already knowing that Rich was going and some of the earlier posts talking about what had happened, I figured that it had to have something to do with Rich, so I watched the rest of the episode and I don't blame Sue *one bit* for making an issue of it next week...from the previews, it looks like Jeff was trying to shrug it off as Hatch being Hatch, and that's not right!

I *really* believed that it was going to be a split vote with Rich being voted out 4-3 instead of Colby, but I'm glad I was wrong! :)

part of me can't believe the arrogance of rich...
the other half says "why did it take him so long?"

So what does everyone think about Sue's actions tonight? Was she reacting normally, or do you think she is out to get some money from Rich or the show?
The season finale when everyone gets together should be interesting!

what happened between Sue & obnoxious naked guy? I missed all but the voting last week, so I had no idea what she was talking about last night...

Last week's immunity challenge was one of those, navigate these balance beams types. If two opposing tribe members met at a particular spot, they had to battle to see which one could keep going.

Well, Sue and Hatch met at that spot, and Hatch being Hatch, of course he was naked. The two of them "battled", but basically the battle consisted of Hatch rubbing his you-know-what all over Sue until she took a dive.

It was all blurred out on tv (I didn't even know anything was going on until Probst commented on it), but apparently she was quite upset!

I thought Rupert's analysis of the whole situation was interesting... that when it happened, she just sort of blew it off and said "Ew, gross"... but as time passed, she seemed to get more and more upset. I, personally, didn't buy it until the moment she left that she was actually that distraught, but maybe she was. I thought for sure she was trying to get some sort of sympathy thing going, but now I'm not so sure!

YESSSSSSSS!! It's about time she went! I couldn't stand her...
We were just upset that she looked like she was going to cry, then didn't. :p

And our AGD Survives still!

Dee

ooh, who's an AGD??

Amber Brkich is Alpha Gam from our Westminster College chapter.

Rob looked like a lost puppy tonight when he and Amber were separated! I wonder if the romance will survive the show...

I think in the TV Guide that talked about the Survivor Romances it said they were still together....I tossed my copy when the week was up, though, so I could be wrong.

I was SO HAPPY to see Jerri leave last night (okay, this afternoon when I watched the tape). I like Amber and I hope she makes it all the way :)

But I do agree with Kathy about how Rob's words to Lex really did sound "Godfather-ish" :p...we'll see what happens next week when Rob makes a new alliance and then goes back on his word

Rob is such a snake! I can't believe how quickly he went back on his word to Lex. I mean Geez, give it a week or two before you put the knife in his back!

C'mon, this is Rob we're talking about. He doesn't know how to keep his word to anyone. I'm hoping that this next week someone will get the idea that they need to get rid of Rob, because otherwise I see him going all the way to the end and having a good chance of winning.

Chaboga Mogo tribe rocks! :p

I think Amber is going to win it all. It was a good omen when their "buffs" for the original three tribes were Red, Yellow(buff) and Green!

Dee

Grrr...Rob is still there. I still love Rupert and want him to win, but I'm not to sure that's going to happen!

I didn't like the combined reward/immunity challenge and how it was handled. Picking teams like that? I wish they had shown that part. I wonder who was picked last.

I will miss Kathy. I rooted for her in her original season and she had won a lot of individual immunities that time, and worked the game well, never getting into an alliance, but being the "swing" vote each time.

Of course, I'm still rooting for Amber.

Dee

I like Boston Rob, but he needs to go. Seriously, I won't be surprised if he'll start to turn on Amber soon.

What's up with Amber and being a friend to the friendless?

i'm not so sure about that, considering they are still dating. i'd think if he turned on her, that would be the end of the relationship.

i hope that the tribe kicks rob off next. it's obvious that he's pulling all of the strings and that he's good enough to keep winning all of the immunities. if they dont get rid of him soon, i guess it's their own fault that they get voted off.
on the other side, it's smart to take him to the final two since the first two jurors dont like him. and the rest of the jury probably wont vote for him either since he'll most likely screw them all over.

Not necessarily.

Remember with the last season (Pearl Islands) during the reunion show, Jeff asked the jury if Lil had taken Jonny Fairplay to the final two if that would've changed their vote. I think it was closer than what it was with Sandra v Lil, but Lil would've won. It all depends on the jury members and their mentality....do you vote for the person who played the game the best (which at this point may actually be Boston Rob) or for the person who you like the best out of the two.

What happened this week? We missed it due to a school play. I heard Alicia was voted off.

Okay, let me see if I can remember....

The reward challenge wound up being the ceramic masks, where the survivors had to first answer questions about who they felt was not worthy of being an All-Star, etc and then had to answer the questions how they thought everyone ELSE answered them. Alicia was surprised to hear she was one of the two picked as not worthy of being an All-Star (along with Shii-Ann) and then for thinking herself smarter than she really is. Rupert wound up winning, and it was a group reward where Rupert assigned the type of meal each person got. He basically let people choose what they wanted in a specific order: he took the steak with open bar privilieges, Rob took the burger and fries and cola, Jenna took the hot dog, Amber took the ham sandwich, Alicia took the salad, Tom got the potatoes, and Shii Ann wound up with the rice and water from their camp.

The immunity challenge was their one arm was chained to a bucket above their heads filled with water, and they had to stand there the longest (like we couldn't figure that one out :D) Shii Ann wound up winning immunity and was very vocal and cutting in her celebration (which you can't blame her since she knew she would go otherwise).

Alicia was voted out and she wasn't expecting it, so she became the third member of the jury.

Does anyone else remember other details?

Thanks Polarpi - I knew I could count on you!

Aww, thanks :)

Normally I'd probably remember more about the episode, but these next few weeks are going to be MAJORLY stressful! :p

Nice recap!

I was so happy for Shii Ann winning the immunity. She isn't necessarily my favorite, but I was happy for her! The show was going to be really boring otherwise! It would basically be 'the Godfather' choosing each week! Why does it always happen like this? EVERY Survivor, the contestants are so blind! I would've jumped with Kathy and gotten Rob or Amber out of there!

aj

I agree. Rob is so strong there is a good chance he'll win more immunity challenges and if the others have any chance of winning, they should realize that they need to get rid of him. The only thing I can figure is that each of them are hoping to be in the final 3 with Rob and Amber, win immunity and then go against Rob in the Final 2. Then they would hope that Rob had made so many people so angry with betrayed alliances that they would vote for the other person as the winner. Of course, I'm torn between rooting for "anybody but Rob" and wanting Amber to win (because she's a sister and I think she has played it pretty smart herself so far).

Dee

Did you see the smiles on Lex & Cathy's faces when Alicia got the boot? Priceless! What made it sweeter for Shii Ann was the fact Alicia was telling her remember the game isn't over and she had to go home with them when Shii Ann was celebrating. She has to work her butt off to stay in the tribe, but I think she may be a goner. When is the tribe gonna wake up and Get rid of Boston Rob? He is the ultimate jerk.

I think that's why Alicia got the boot. If she had kept her mouth shut it just might have been Rupert that got the boot.

This isn't exactly about the show, but I am so excited! I just received a box from my husband, and it had a bunch of 'authentic Survivor All-Stars buffs'. The CBS people have been really supportive of the soldiers in Iraq, and sent them all kinds of stuff (DVD's, buffs, etc). They are really cool, and not at all what I expected! For those girls that where them as tops, they have got to be stick thin, because they aren't that wide!

aj

Well, the final is tonight and because it's Mother's Day I know I'll get my TV of choice and unlimited popcorn :) I hope we get to hear a lot out of the jury at some point.

So, who's gonna win? Any guesses?

I hope I'm wrong, but I'm afraid Rob is going to win. I can't stand listening to him talk all the time.

I hope Jenna wins.

Oh well there went that thought.

Now I don't care who wins.

I only watched the first few episodes and then this finale...

WOOHOO for Amber though. 2 Pittsburgh girls winning so close together!

Although the news stations will be nuts around here........

And Amber is an AGD! We thought it was good luck that the first three tribe colors were red, buff and green!

She's going to have a hard time having a candle passing now though.. the whole world saw her get engaged! I guess the million bucks will make up for that..lol.

Dee

I didn't like Rob but at least he is Red Sox fan so there is something good about him.lol

Red and buff roses to Amber! :)
