Re: Survivor: Cagayan — Brawn vs. Brains vs. Beauty

I must have missed this entirely so if its been said let me know what it does lol. You can spolier it if need be but Im curious to hear what it does since I missed it somehow.

I could swear it was brought up during the episode, but I don't have it DVR'd or anything so I might be thinking of the season preview show. Definitely heard about it before Maj posted though

The idols powers: (it's in spoiler tags for a reason,it spoils what the idol does. I put it in white font just incase someone doesn't want to know but accidentally sees within spoiler tag,so highlight the text if you really want to know)

Spoiler

You can use it after the vote is read. It's just like the old days of Survivor(it lasted all of 2 seasons I believe). Controversial rule though which is why they scrapped it after seeing how it played out for those 2 seasons and fans reaction to it.

So lets say Tony gets the most votes and Woo has the idol or something. If Woo wanted, he could stand up and play the idol for Tony and saves Tony and sends home the person with next most votes. Which is why I said that whichever side gets it,controls the game. So if someone really wants to, they can play the idol after votes are read and save their side from being voted out and keep the numbers strong.

It's also why I wanted Tony or LJ to keep their idol. Imagine having the idol you could play after votes are read AND the idol you need to play before votes are read. You'd never have to play the "new school idol" until the tribal after you play the the "old school idol". That'd be the safest/most powerful position anyone in Survivor history would've been in.

The idol with "special powers" was brought up during the episode. Although, they never said what the powers were. I guess we'll find that would when/if someone finds it.... Which as easy as they are to find, I'm sure someone will next episode.

I know I've said it before, but I really hope that they don't release the two idols that were just played back into the game. I hate when they do that. I would prefer that an idol gets played once whether it's pre-merge or not, then it's gone forever. Having them being played over and over again makes the game kind of a sham, in my opinion.

Can't possibly have anything to do with Woo!

Re: Survivor: Cagayan — Brawn vs. Brains vs. Beauty

Finally watched the episode. This may have been one of my more favorite episodes I've seen in the past few years.

The blindside on Sarah was epic. The suspense that built up to tribal made everything even better. I'm glad she's gone as she started getting really annoying after realizing that she had a lot of power in the game. She got greedy and deserved to be voted out. If she only lied to Tony and just swore on her badge, the game would be so different right now.

LJ... well I guess we know why he was on the Beauty tribe and not the Brains.

LJ had to get the numbers though. He knew that if someone on his side went home, his game was over. He would have the idol for next week, but it would be a losing battle. He had to take a risk to make sure his side was still in it. He also helped Tony and that may buy him some support in the end. It also would keep Tony around so there would be someone else to vote out first.

Its going to be interesting I think as there are 3 guys on that side who are likeable and have enough talent to make it all the way. Hopefully the women don't gang up on them or they don't turn on each other and try to get each other out to quickly and allow a woman to win.

Kass is the only woman right now that I can say is playing well enough to have a chance to win. Trish could, but she has been to rude and crazy to win.

I think I would have taken my chances if I were LJ. Playing his idol shows that he's a good player and now has a larger target on his back. I'm sure Tony won't like the fact that he didn't know LJ had an idol, even if he did play it for Tony.

I honestly can see Tony turning on LJ tonight.

If the women are smart, they'd gang up on the guys and pick them off 1 by 1. But like in all past seasons, it never completely happens.

Which is a good thing it never happens because it gets annoying anytime the girls have a number, there's almost always that one person who's like "Lets have an all girls alliance. We have the numbers!".

Not to mention that most seasons,the female cast sucks and doesn't have enough good females to support a strong female alliance.

Time zone spoiler:

yes, that means don't click this if you haven't seen tonight's episode yet

Spoiler

I'm glad Chesty LaRue went home. She was nice to look at, but horrible to listen to. Even in her exit, trying to play it off like she's so cool

How many people did she refer to as "old" or "ugly" throughout her time on the show? I know editing is always a factor but damn she seemed so conceited.

On the other hand, Tasha is starting to look pretty good

That **** by Woo was kinda clever, kinda shady, that whole scene where they both gathered up their respective alliances and EVERYONE was searching at the same time was really cool though. I was glad Spencer found it in the end, even though it was just a standard idol. I kinda wonder if he would've used it to save Morgan at the end if it was an option, just for numbers sake.

Kass is weird.

That's what I'm wondering about. They said an idol with SPECIAL POWERS? So what's up? Now suddenly it's a regular one? The note with the idol Spencer found was fairly long, are regular idol notes that long or what? Surely they didn't re-hide LJ and/or Tonys idol? Or maybe Spencer found the idol that Garrett never used?

And Woo stealing the clue was so funny. Did he actually steal it out of Spencers pants,or did it actually fall? Cause they showed it like the clue fell as soon as Woo picked up the pants, but Spencer said Woo took the clue out of his pants and threw the pants in the water?

Next weeks preview....I hope that it hinted at,doesn't happen.

But I want to know about this special powers idol! What happened to it!?!

I think there is still another idol out there. Why would they say there is a special power idol when there isn't?

Re: Survivor: Cagayan — Brawn vs. Brains vs. Beauty

Lol at Spencer finding it after epic fail losing the clue. Woo was a G. Found (read: stole) the clue and sprinted back to camp. Spencer standing there with no pants on like a moron. Im mad he found it anyway.

And Morgan was such an airhead. Glad shes gone and I wont have to deal with her stupidity watching this show.

Spoiler

From the preview it looks like Tony will ruin his own game. Saw that coming a mile away. The guy may be too ambitious for his own good. But maybe thats just clever editing.

Re: Survivor: Cagayan — Brawn vs. Brains vs. Beauty

Good episode, but not as intense as last week. Spencer is such a dork. I want to say he's playing a good game then he goes and does something dumb to second guess myself. I was afraid he was going to use the idol on Morgan to try and save his tribe.. glad he was at least smart to not save her.

And Morgan, I'm glad you guys can close your eyes and finally hear how annoying she sounds.. And those statements.. lol I really like how Jeff has started to burn some of the bad players with their own stupidity. I don't remember if he's done this in the past.. but I've noticed a more aggressive Jeff during tribal ever since Colton left last season.

But seriously.. did Morgan just say "she's only mad at me because I'm cuter than her." and "If people can choose between being cute and ugly, they'd choose cute." SMDH.

Majingir, the camera showed Spencer putting it on top of his pants and then folding the other half over. So it wasn't even in his pockets. That's why when Woo grabbed it, it literately just fell out. I'm still surprised that he found the idol, with Kass 5 feet away from him.. I just hope that he's smart to not tell anyone about it, but he always proves me wrong.

That's what I thought. Cause that's what I saw happen,but like 5 minuets later Spencer goes to camp and says Woo took the clue from his pants and threw the pants in the water, so I thought I was missing something, turns out it was just Spencer being a poor sport.
