As a deserter of the men (since Tarzan has voted for the women all the time), it is unlikely he'll get much sympathy from the male jury, so it makes sense for the women to want Tarzan to the final 3 since he'll get no votes making it a 2 way race.

On the other hand, there is really little chance he will last long. He is a "disposable" player and the only question is wether he will go before christina.

It has taken 3 episodes for the second class women to wake up and smell the coffee, despite Troysan warning them that they need to start being strategic. Unless the second class women get together and vote off Kim or Chelsey next week, it is game over for them.

The night where Colton insisted they give up immunity and vote off a man instead of a women, the men should have blindsighted Colton and voted him out instead of voting for the guy Colton disliked.

The whole game would have been very different and not as boring and "foregone conclusion" as it is now.

The men really underestimated the women initially and it came back to bite them.

Maybe so, but the jury would have to know that Tarzan was shafting them all along. Also, these guys have proven themselves to be a pretty shallow lot, so chances are they'd give it to Tarzan out of spite, even if he effectively did nothing to deserve the win.

I agree with you on the guys' shortsightedness. Even if you didn't particularly care for Bill, who Colton immediately targeted for no apparent reason (other than he "didn't like him" - what a fuckin' baby) logic would dictate that knowing that Colton had an immunity idol (he told them up front) you'd make him play it by voting him. And if he didn't, he's out, which would've served him right for cozying up with the women from the get. Instead they gave this prima donna total control of the game. WTF??

Any one of the girls have more balls than the lot of 'em, IMO.

Colton didn't like Bill because Colton is a racist. A very entertaining, racist, great villain.
Let's start a Tarzan fan club lol. I wonder if he is even really a plastic surgeon.

At this point, Kim or Chelsey or Sabrina are worthy competitors who managed to manipulate their own tribe to get rid of all the men.

Consider how Christina had been told to throw herself in the fire, yet, she now shows loyalty to the women and even to alecia (whom she should have campaigned be thrown off). Obviously there is some editing of the show that removed what happened to reconciliate aliecia with christina.



But if Kim or Chelsey winds the final immunity, she would be smart to eliminate the other and bring along 2 "disposables" to the final tribal council so that she is the only one to vote for.

We also have not seen any discussion on why Tarzan is still there. Remember the episode when he dropped his dirty underwear in the pot of boiling water ? He was despised and the women want him out asap. Have the women decided he is the contestant who has no chance to win and thus be good to have him in the final 3 ?

Or perhaps he promised the girls free boob jobs ? :)

And at the end of day, Both Kim and Chelsey will get to final tribal with few of the jury against them. They may have christina against them. That is about it. The men of the jury will have to admit that they were outwitted by these 2 and vote for the best of them.

Nah, she rode thru the game on Kim's coattails. I wasn't a Kim fan, but she earned her win. Dumbest guys in one season. Ever.


Yeah but you could say the same thing about Sabrina too. Why did Sabrina get 2 votes and Chelsea zero? It would have made a lot more sense to me if Chelsea got one vote, but I found zero to be quite shocking.

I thought Chelsea was going to get 3 because of bitterness towards Kim. I think Sabrina got one due to bitterness and the other from Leif who voted with strange ways every single time.

As far as Kim getting the 100k, she deserved it. The prize was supposed to be for the best player and she was.

It is interesting that the ladies thought Tarzan would have gotten support from male jury members since he was seen as a traitor voting with the women to destroy the men. And at one point, just after a vote, one jury member made a finger gesture (blurred, of course) at Tarzan.

The mistakes made bt the men early one are good ones to learn from. By grouping the "greek men" together instead of a variety of folks, it make it easier for the weaker portion to gang up against the greek gods.

Matt got voted out before he realised the game had begun.

And of course, the men were totally inept at talking and working together, having been naive enough to think that the mixed alliances were still going while the women from the 2 tribes had reunited and were all against the men.

BTW, the men looked quite good at the reunion. Jay the model was very nice looking.

I think that Troysan should have gotten that $100k because he is the man that fought and lasted the longest (I consider Tarzan to be a female because he voted with them). However, this was a popularity contest, not "who was the second best player", so it was normal Kim would get it.

Chelsey should have gotten something out of this because while she may have been assisting Kim, she still did a lot of the dirty work.

Chelsea got zero votes because she said in her opening speech that Kim did all the planning and all the work figuring it out. She gave away any votes that might have been going her way. As a season, this was totally dull and forgettable. However, Kim did play the game well at least. Anyone remember Vecepia??

brandon guy, you have a good point about chelsea. A bit like that christina that got to the final 4 and then basically said that she wasn't interested in going forwards. I had some feelings for her because of how colton and alicia had treated her, but when she didn't have the guys to side with Troysan to try to play strategically, I lost respect for her, and when, in the final 4 tribal, she completely gave up, I was saying "what a waste".

I was going to write that they need a better casting director. But when you look at the original cast of thsi past season, the men had all the right ingredients to counter the kim/chelsea/sabrina in terms of strategy.

But for some reason, it failed to work and the men failed to work together.

This season is perhaps quite educational for future players. (aka: what NOT to do)

All in all I don't think this season was that bad, I've seen much more unwatchable seasons before. Colton, all-girl final 5, Tarzan and Troyzan all made for some interesting twists and turns, I thought.
