But she's insane and incredibly unlikable, which makes people more likely to flip on her (which, if you're with her, is bad). Also, much like we saw in HvsV, people will often associate you with your allies. Parvati had "the Russell stink" on her, and Candice potentially passed on voting for Parv because she was aligned with the guy everyone hated.

You don't get any extra points for blowing out the person in the end. Yeah, you might beat NaOnka 9-0, but you look like a much better person (and you have a much easier ride to the end) if you beat Dan 8-1. Plus, he might even tell the jury to vote FOR you; he doesn't care about winning, and he went as far as to say he'd be happy if Marty took him to the end and beat him. Therefore, Dan is the type of guy who is zero risk to ever flip on you, and he's not going to beat you in the end. He's the ideal person to take to the FTC imo.

I think purple kelly is the #1 choice to take... She has shown no strategy & it sure seems like everyone thinks she's stupid... I think she would completely bomb at the final tribal although i dont think her or dan would get any votes anyway unless it's to spite the person they're up against. I can see Naonka getting some votes and even beating Dan and/or Kelly (i forget if its 2 or 3 this year)

is tomorrow's ep a recap ep??

It certainly looks that way. On the CBS site they are describing the episode with this:

"New scenes shed light on the castaways and the decisions they've made during the game on the next episode of Survivor: Nicaragua."


Recap episodes suck.

I disagree that you take Purple Kelly. You never take a hot chick to FTC. Stupid guys will give her votes with no basis.

Amanda tho

whatever. Recap episodes have gotten a lot better over the more recent seasons. They're not really so much "recaps" anymore as they are "deleted scenes"


And Amanda might have occasionally looked hot when she was on Survivor, but when she would start crying and getting her doe eyes going, it was awful and hideous and you could no longer call her a "hot chick". That's the look she gave both the juries she faced.

Purple Kelly's level of attractiveness way overrated ITT.

ill lay 100-1 on purple kelly winning or bet Dan and/or Naonka straight up against her

wait: nevermind, i realize there are spoilers out there so the finals may already be known in which case i dont want to freeroll anybody or find out something when 10 ppl rush to take the bet.... I will bet this in spirit though

Would I still get 100-1 on a spirit bet?

compared to other seasons, yes.

unfortunately we've got very little to work with this season and there isn't really anyone left on the show that comes close to her in terms of attractiveness right now.

This recap episode is supposed to be more "deleted scenes" than just recap

Shut up Probst.

i might be in the minority but i actually think she might be the hottest/sexiest survivor of all time. and i don't even love blondes. but i never complain when others disagree with me on hotness...it increases my odds!

Cheers! Agree to disagree!

shes real hot. solid episode tonight.

You're not in the minority. She might crack my all-time top five, though it's tough to tell since she's never even on screen...

so it was just a recap?

yeah but mostly new scenes. good footage. def worth watching imo. i feel like i have a much better idea of whats going on out there now

Yuck. How can someone without a brain be hottest of all time. You people are strange. I conceded that a brainless Brad Pitt would still be yummy, but hottest of all time? No.

Because we can completely separate looks from personality. Women apparently cannot.

Boston Rob hasn't been able to technically win under his own steam. Crossing him with a really bad Survivor player surely wouldn't help his game.

this. women...are...so...lol
