If James had made it past last night, he'd be in the final 4 and quite possibly in the final 3.

If Todd was gone, James would only have ONE idol. He would have used the other one last night.

I am slow on a Friday morning.

And the Pagonging continues...

I just have one question: Denise, what were you thinking???

You should be thinking Endgame strategy. Taking Todd and Amanda is NOT Endgame strategy (even if they are "in charge", you need to start worrying about jury votes, on the chance that you DO make it that far). Voting for Erik is NOT Endgame strategy.

What Denise should have done (in my opinion - and assuming that the immunity challenges allow it to happen).... Vote for Todd. After he's gone, take PeihGee and Erik and vote for Amanda. Then, get Courtney to vote with you against PeihGee. Then, as long as Erik doesn't win the final challenge, you're sitting in front of the Jury next to Courtney. Game Over. You win. Even if you listened to PeihGee and Erik, and somehow won the last challenge, you don't really want to be sitting next to either of them at the Jury, because the Jury is full of a lot of bitter ZhanHuers.



As for the previews for next week: Amanda, what are YOU thinking?
Whoever said that Amanda/Todd/Courtney have about equal shot in front of the Jury right now, because they've all pissed about the same amount of people off, was dead on. Amanda may have SLIGHT advantage, because there were a few people who left before they saw her pulling the strings. In my opinion, Amanda taking Denise and PeihGee to the Final 3 is pretty stupid. Denise would beat Amanda, because she's just more likeable, and she didn't really piss anyone off (I think Erik realizes that she did what she thought she had to do). PeihGee has pissed people off, but still, as I said before, you're sitting in front of a Jury of bitter ZhanHuers (and JR, who I bet is pretty pissed at FeiLong as well).

She's not thinking. That's her whole problem.

Who's going home tonight??

realitynewslonline seems to think that the previews are bluffing, and PeihGee is going home.

And they were right.

But I just realized something while reading an article there...I had been under the assumption that it was still only 2 in front of the Jury (like I said previously, I hadn't watched since Africa), because that changes my opinion now that I know 3 go in front of the Jury. Well, actually, it doesn't change a whole lot, except now I think Denise has NO chance of winning. Denise v. Courtney I thought she might have won, but that's about it.
