After last weeks double execution/bribery the Mole returned with only eight players. It seems most were sad to see both Bobby and Ali go as they became fairly close to them. Only one voiced a negative point to leaving and that was Nicole. She thought Bobby was in deed the mole and realized she now had to re-evaluate her strategy in order to stay in the game. Other then that everyone who talked was crying for those two to go as they felt they lost two close allies and friends.

The next morning everyone was driven to Argentina, their next location in the journey. In the Andes mountains the eight broke into two teams of four each. Nicole, Victoria, Kristen and Clay became the “selfish” team while Craig, Mark, Paul and Alex became the “selfless” team. John then explained to everyone how the Inca used to carry gold up the Andes mountains for the Spanish. Their mission was to do just though, carry bars of gold up the Andes Mountains. Each gold bar weighed about 5 pounds and for each that made it to the top $250 would be added to the pot. Oh there was one more thing, the first team to make it up the mountain got a chance for a small little reward: exemptions.

When the two teams started to grab their bricks it was obvious who the selfish team was. They wanted to take up the least amount of bricks they could so they could be the first up the mountain. Kristen ended up taking more then half the selfish teams bricks while Clay took five although he claims he could have taken twelve. For the selfless team it was obvious they wouldn’t be up for considering Craig was on their team. They made the decision to grab as many bricks as they could and started up the mountain a few minutes after the selfish team.

As the selfish team started up Nicole made it seem as if she was tired. She says she wants people to think she’s the mole, casting doubt on her and less on the real mole. It’s smart but really could come back to bite her. As they got half way up the Andes John was waiting for them and told them they now had to carry a scale the rest of the way. Two scales were available, one weighing ten 10 pounds and another weighing at least 20 pounds. They had to decide which scale to take based on looks along and the selfish team chose right as they picked the lighter of the two.

The selfless team wasn’t having as big of a problem as they thought as Craig was keeping up. Although Mark complained a bit they mostly worked well together. At the mid-way mark they took the heavier scale, leaving a few bricks behind, and started back up the mountain. Mark wasn’t too happy about Kristen taking the lighter one but continued on. But as the second scale and second team head up the mountain the selfish team was just finishing. They made it to the top with around 25 bricks and were happy with their choice. A little later with only 30 seconds to spare, the selfless team crossed the finish line and all the bricks were tallied, adding $14,000 to the pot. Well at least for the time being.

Knowing their exemption came at a cost, the selfish team waited to hear what they would have to do. John told them only one of the four would get the exemption and the four had to decide unanimously who would get it or they had to forfeit the exemption AND all the money  they just made. After a few minutes they decided Clay should get it. Although the girls thought Kristen deserved it more, Clay complained the loudest. Some thought it was moleish behaviour but I’m not so sure.

As if the drama wasn’t enough thanks to the mission, while hiking down the mountain Craig didn’t do so well. At the bottom an ambulance was called in as Craig had trouble breathing. They said he went in and out of consciousness and was diagnosed with hypothermia from the cold and low air pressure. Everyone seems a bit worried about him but he still worried about the game. When Craig returned he was told that he had to stay warm and rest but he still worried some would think his trip to the ER was him playing a mole game.

The next day everyone woke up ready to play. Alex and Victoria had a small chat as we learn he thinks she may be the mole. They both thought coalitions wouldn’t last but we all know Alex has one with Paul. That night at dinner John asked everyone for their journals. As they ate they worried what would happen to them, especially Mark. His whole game is in that journal and without it he feels there is no more game to play. Little did they know the journals were their next mission as John returned with the journals still in tact.

The next mission was a rather fun one as it had to deal with quotes in the journals. Each player was told a quote and asked to guess who said that in their journal. Five of the seven questions were guessed correctly but one didn’t count. Nicole continued her fake (or real?) sabotage streak by coughing and blinking at the quote that was hers. This put several more people on her for being the mole. If she really isn’t though she’s one great actress. Since John rounded the pot up to $144,000 and four questions were correct,

Directly following desert everyone was led outside. They were then asked for one person to take a risk a sacrifice their journal. Nicole, Alex and Paul all said they would give theirs in but Alex’s journal was chosen to be sacrificed. John then pulled out a torch and waved it over Alex’s journal but didn’t torch it. He then asked Alex to collect all the other journals and set them on the table. As he did so the table was lit on fire, setting everyone but Alex’s journal into flames. This made Mark angry and he seemed to waver on quitting. His whole game and life in the game was based on his journal. With it gone he didn’t seem to have the will to play anymore. He even went missing for a short time but showed up in order to return back to base camp.

After that short melt down it was then time for the quiz and execution. Craig returned to the dinner table and everyone got ready to take the quiz. A few people seemed to change their tune on the mole. Alex and Paul along with Nicole feel Victoria is the mole while others felt it was Nicole. The only real strategy for the quiz we got to hear was Nicole’s. She said that she will answer as quickly as possible in order to win in the case of a tie. It was good she did that too as John let everyone know pre-execution that there was in fact a tie. Only 5 seconds were split between the two and in the event of the tie, the person who answered the quiz slower would be executed. It ended up being Victoria to get the green thumb and sent packing. She said she expected it but most mouths dropped. She was the biggest mole suspect yet and once again the suspect was sent home.

Next week it seems Craig is given some power that some don’t like. Nicole is put into a lama costume with Paul, her favorite person. Now that should be some great reality television! It seems Paul is getting on some more nerves as everyone thinks he’s a trouble maker. Um having we been seeing that since the first episode?

Last weeks Mole left us with some things to ponder. Like would Nicole really kill Paul in sleep and could she REALLY do it without leaving DNA evidence? The answer to both these questions is no as Paul was still alive come the next day. Good thing Nicole didn’t go through with it though since now we get to see her and Paul continue their feud! The next morning everyone, including Paul, awoke and Nicole’s tirade was the talk of the town. Paul wanted to use it to his advantage and Ali ate it up. She finally spoke for once and let us know that her hatred for Nicole is growing along with Paul’s. It seems the cliques are starting early and we learn about a new coalition that’s apparently been on for the past two episodes. Mark, Bobby and Clay are now in a coalition to share information on who they think is the Mole. Of course it won’t last long though as we soon find out.

In the first mission the players are forced into two sides, the “Can’t Trust” and “Blindly Trusts” groups. They then had to pair up with someone from the opposite side, creating five teams of two. The mission was fairly simple yet risky. Each pair would luge down a metal track with the person in the front blindfolded. The person in the back had to yell out pictures of fruit that they saw and the person who was blindfolded would then have to pick out those fruits in put them in order. For each fruit they got right, $2,000 would be put into the pot. They had strict orders to not talk after they passed the finish line but of course that wasn’t the case for some.

First up was Bobby and Clay. Bobby was the one yelling out the fruit and seemed confusing as he didn’t yell out the colors right away. They got 5/7 right but talked after crossing the finish line so they got no money. Next up was Ali and Paul who got a legitimate 5/7 for the team. Victoria and Craig broke the “no talking” rule as well and lost $14,000 as they got all seven fruits right but broke the rules. Kristen and Mark were the first to get all seven right and actually keep the money while Alex and Nicole had an interesting ride. She yelled out “green apple” twice which put Alex off by one for the fruit selection. This gained them one point and made everyone wonder how she could screw up so badly.

That night the coalition between Bobby and Clay/Mark ended. Clay and Mark now believe Bobby to be the mole and want nothing to do with him. Although they say they will talk to him if he comes to them, they won’t go to him for anymore information. The day the crew heads out for a nice spa retreat. Of course they all thought something was up but it seemed legit… at first. They spent some time in the pool and hot tub and then some time getting massages. Of course John showed up to screw things up and start their next mission.

Once again the players were split up. Kristen, Victoria and Ali made up one team, Bobby, Craig and Nicole another and the last team consisted of Bobby and Alex. Once Mark and Clay found out what the challenge was they dropped out because they had too much “pride” apparently. John then filled them in on the mission, they had to walk around Chile in their underwear looking for a shirt, tie and pants for the guys and a two piece shirt and skirt/pants for the girls. Alex and Paul had the easiest time once again thanks to Alex’s knowledge of Spanish. They quickly found shirts from cab drivers and pants from a few Americans. Kristen, Victoria and Ali had the hardest time it seemed. They couldn’t’ find any clothing for the longest time and Ali even almost quit. This put suspicion on both Kristen and Victoria but they kept moving and eventually got lucky enough to get fully dressed for dinner. In the third and find team was Nicole, who found her clothing faster then anyone, and Bobby and Craig. The two guys had a hard time finding clothing but once they want the laundry mat with their real clothing they were all set. Since 8/9 people made it to dinner they claimed an extra $40,000 for the pot putting them at $129,000 for the entire game.

That night at the pre-quiz dinner things got pretty heated. It all started when Paul said that Mark was playing the game hardcore and the two then went at it for a bit. Bobby, Craig and Nicole then barged in and Nicole’s statement from the last execution came into play. Of course she played the ‘nice’ card, which angered Paul a bit, but he had different plans. He wanted to get everyone heated before the quiz in hopes it would screw up their chances for a green thumb.

At the execution something interesting happened. John offered everyone $20,000 to leave the game right then and there, nobody bit the bait. Three people were then shown to be safe and another $10,000 added to the bribe. Ali was the first to take the $30,000 and walked out of the game. Funny thing is they all thought they were safe since she left and Bobby even said he wouldn’t take the money. John then came back and let them all know someone else was still going home. Bobby was then shown to get the red thumb and his words came back to bite him. Did Paul take out his biggest enemy by causing a ruckus at dinner? Who knows but something got to Bobby. That takes two more out of the game and puts us at the final eight. Next week it seems the drama continues as Mark’s crazy side is revealed, probably thanks to Paul.

After several weeks, several new guests and several twists and turns, Paradise Hotel 2 finally comes to a close. Tonight the final two couples of TD/Ryan and Stephanie/Zack faced off against the seven judges of Paradise to crown the winner. It all started off with a lengthy recap showing last weeks drama and how all four of those left in the finales were targeted and argued with someone. The next morning Stephanie and TD realized their actions were stupid and once again became friends. It seems this happened throughout the whole season once the hangover wore off.

The seven judges then convened to question the two couples and to see how they should vote. Mike and Krista both targeted TD as they blamed her for their demise the night before. Both got an answer they didn’t expect and that was TD apologizing and basically saying she didn’t push Ryan to vote them out but he agreed with her that was the move to make. James’ comment got a few jaws to drop as he asked Steph if she was “sleeping her way to the top” since she “crushed” with both finalists: Ryan and Zack. The said she didn’t but it just seemed to end up that way. Myrna’s question once again brought up Zack’s mention of why he would be mean to her. He told her it was done to make sure people didn’t believe the two were together. He said they all hated her so he had to hate her to “fit it”, she didn’t like that too much.

The four were then given the chance to say one final statement to all voters. Zack was first and let them all know that he was loyal to everyone he gave his word to and everyone that gave their word was loyal to him. Stephanie was up first and gave a really good reason why people should vote for her and Zack. She let each of them know what she will take back with her and how they changed her since she entered the hotel. TD was next and gave a very tear filled speech as to why she played the game the way she did. She was right as she shouldn’t feel guilty that she is in the finals and that she shouldn’t feel guilty for speaking her mind and I think some of the judges were swayed by this. Ryan was last to go and actually had something to say. He only spoke to Krista and Mike, the two he hurt the most, and let them know he is sorry. He wasn’t asking for their vote but only asking them to forgive him.

That night it was then time to crown the winner and that the judges did. Each were asked to pick the couple they want to see win the grand prize and in a close vote of 4 - 3, Zack and Stephanie were crowned the winners of Paradise Hotel 2. Like the previous season the win came with a twist as TD and Ryan were given the power to crown only one winner between Stephanie and Zack. That winner would receive an envelope containing the prize. Although it seemed they would pick Stephanie, both decided to give Zack the title of winner of Paradise Hotel. He was then shocked with another twist that allowed him to split the money between himself and two others in any amount he chose. He was given $200,000 to either keep or he could split it between one or two other people from the judges and the other final players.

After some deliberation Zack made his chose and decided to split his prize money between both TD and Stephanie. He gave TD $20,000 and then split the remaining between himself and Stephanie evenly. This gave both Stephanie and Zack $90,000 each and also gave them the share in the win. That concludes Paradise Hotel 2 and the drama that came along with it. I was kind of surprised to see Zack win after coming back into the game for a third time and then so generously splitting his money. It was a great run for the show and hopefully it will be back for a third season. If you aren’t done with Paradise Hotel 2 yet you can catch the reunion on Fox Reality. Once I see it I’ll be sure to rehash all that went down!

Now that the shows over and Zack won the game what do you all think? Leave a comment and discuss if Zack deserved to win and if his split was right.

So I finally got around to seeing the finale of Survivor Micronesia and all I can say is wow. I didn’t see half of that coming. If you read my finale prediction I was as wrong as could be as I didn’t expect a F2 and didn’t expect Parvati to come anywhere close to a win. It was interesting to see that they went right into a final four immunity without the “rights of passage” ceremony so I figured something was up. At the challenge I got somewhat nervous as Natalie was in the lead early and that usually guarantees a win but Amanda scooped up her first immunity this season ensuring she’d be in the final three.

At this point I figured Natalie would go but then Cirie’s name came into the pot and well I was not happy about that. Parvati and Amanda figured it would be a final three for the end vote and felt Cirie would be hard to beat. She did have a lot of friends on the jury as well as being a great talker. It really wasn’t known going into what was thought as the final tribal who was going between Cirie and Natalie. Then Cirie had to open her mouth and mention how she felt at the bottom of the totem poll when it came to Parvati and Amanda so I thought her fate was sealed. Once the votes were cast though Natalie’s name came out with 3 - 1 votes and luckily Cirie pulled through to an all favorite final three of women.

The three girls wok up the next morning expecting food and got nothing but a paddle of doom. It let them know that there was still another immunity challenge and therefore this meant it was a final two once again. I’m not sure why they switched back but this is the one time I wish they would have ended at a final three. Amanda took it the worst as she broke down to both Parvati and Cirie. She didn’t want to play the game anymore and it made everyone remember she’s been playing the game for almost six months straight.

After Amanda pulled it together the three women went off for the rights of passage ceremony as they laid each voted out torch to rest. Most of the fans didn’t have much to be said about as none of the three really got to meet some of them but most were memorable statements from those voted out and made me realize I forgot about half the people voted out pre-merge. I didn’t remember most of the fans who were out early and I now realize I didn’t care about half of the fans.

The last immunity challenge was actually very simple yet very interesting. The three girls had to balance several blocks by only two end paddles. They also made it a bit harder by forcing them to make sure a small ball didn’t move from the rod they were creating. All three did fairly well until Parvati fell out half way through. This meant that either Cirie or Amanda would win and both made it to the last round where whoever dropped out first would give the immunity to the other. Both were shaking and off balance throughout the time but Cirie slipped first giving Amanda another shot at the final tribal council and this time the sole power to send someone home.

When the three got back to camp Cirie basically knew she wouldn’t be making it to the finals once again but Amanda gave her some hope. She realized that Parvati did play a very social game and had some friends on the jury while Cirie hadn’t made that many tight bonds. Also Parvati gave her some reason to take Cirie as she told her that Cirie would never win against herself. Amanda then went to the last tribal council run down and spent. It was assumed she’d vote out Cirie but I guess the way this season was going anything could have happened. The way Amanda was crying and freaking out made it seem her decision was harder then it seemed. In the end she sent Cirie packing and lost her vote in the end because of it.

At the last tribal council Amanda and Parvati both took heat. Amanda was only praised by Ozzy (who professed his love for her) and James since both hated Parvati with a vengeance. Although they were new Alexis and Natalie had the best and strangest questions. Alexis was really good at pinpointing Amanda’s acting during tribal while Natalie just continued her psycho reign by basically professing her love for Parvati. She wanted to know how her flirting and strategic skills were represented “in the bedroom”, alas having the most pointless question in Survivor history.

Before the votes were read I had a feeling Amanda would win as she wasn’t as bashed as badly as Parvati was but I was once again wrong. In the end the votes came out 3 for Amanda and 5 for Parvati, meaning Amber 2.0 won Survivor Micronesia. Jeff Probst basically called Parvati the new Amber and he was right as she became the 16th winner of a million dollars and the first female winner since Guatemala. In the end it was a great season with shocks after shocks, even the winner was a shock! Now we turn our minds to Survivor Gabon which I predicted would be the location a few weeks ago. It looks amazing and for the first time it will be shot in high definition. Can Gabon top Micronesia? We can only hope! (Oh and yes, Amanda and Ozzy are now dating)

On the last Paradise Hotel James was barely saved after being named the least trustworthy out of all the guests in the Hotel. He was then given even more power to send someone home and used it to better himself in the game. This week that power came back to bite him as everyone now turned against him. He tried to talk himself out of it but nobody seemed to care. If you remember James could have chose to send himself home over Myrna and chose not too. Several of the guests, including his once best friend Krista, disagreed with that move, ensuring that he’d probably be the next to go.

The next morning it was announced that Stephanie and Zack had “crushed” and have become the new love couple since Tanya left a few episodes ago. The girls’ breakfast was then shown with them discussing the game and the random nature of it as they never know what’s going on. At lunch time an infamous envelope was presented that let Zack know that he and the girls would be getting their own excursion. The three remaining guys would be sent on their own adventure which would lead to more James drama.

Zack and the girls were taken to a ranch where they rode horses along the beach. I wish they would have brought some of these excursion into play throughout the entire show as it gives a nice break from the regular hotel setting. After their horseback riding was over the four sat down to have some desert and yet another envelope appeared. TD read it and let Zack know that he had choose one of the three girls to spend the night with him in the “romantic setting”. He chose Stephanie for obvious reasons and the excursion was then over for TD and Krista.

The three guys also got some vacation time and spent it at a small beach. They swam a bit in the ocean and threw some football and then it was all down to game talk. Well kind of… James was the only one to talk game since Mike and Ryan wanted to forget about it for the time being. Mike seems to be annoyed with James’ active game play and feels he’s playing it way to hard. Why do half of the people on the show forget they are on a competition reality show…. not a dating/hang out show.

When the guys returned to the hotel they found it completely empty. This sent them in a small panic as they expected some type of twist to play into the excursions. All three thought people would returning or someone new would be joining the game but alas they found that was not the case when TD and Krista returned. They also had some fear that a twist or sudden elimination ceremony would take place and were shocked when nothing happened.

While at their “romantic setting” one on one, Stephanie and Zack become much closer. At first they thought no cameras were present but quickly realized one was hiding in the corner. As Stephanie tried to make a move on Zack it quickly was revealed that wasn’t going to happen. Zack wanted nothing to do with a “public showing” which angered Stephanie a bit. He brought up her shower scene with Ryan a few weeks ago. Stephanie then began to cry and their romantic evening was cut short.

The next morning the two returned to Paradise Hotel and everyone was back in play. It seems new alliances were being created as the OGs fell apart. James realized that he couldn’t rely on Krista anymore since she wasn’t going to choose him last round and he continued to tell her he almost sent her home. He then started to work on TD who he was once close with week one. She realized this was all game play and seemed somewhat confused on if she could trust James or not. Another friendship that was changing was with Ryan and Mike. They were always tight but after James’ sudden change Ryan became Mike’s best buddy. It’s funny how it changed so quickly and everyone James was close with seemed to disown him. The third friendship that shifted was Krista and Stephanie. They were always close but now it seems that Stephanie may be favoring Krista over TD.

At dinner another envelope was brought into play and all were told that the next elimination would be the last. This meant the couples would be locked in and no more room selections would occur. Everyone seemed stunned but it was obvious this was to happen. It also sent everyone into thinking what twists could accompany the news and all ideas were being spit out. The largest was that whoever was chosen to be the odd man out would also take out a couple. Everyone assumed that James would be the one eliminated so they feared the worse. He and TD formulated some sort of plan in case the twist was brought into play but it was never really said what the plan was.

At the elimination things went as predicted. The girls were the ones sitting and the guys were on the chopping block. Zack was up first and although he and Stephanie were fighting he went to her. Mike was up next and kept his same roommate in Krista as they both are “being themselves”. Next were Ryan and James and both ended up going to TD as planned. What happened next sent James packing with no more power in the game other then saying goodbye. TD, for some strange reason, chose Ryan to stay and sent the latest trouble starter: James out of paradise and out of the game.

Next week the power is given to one more player as someone is given the chance to send a couple out of Paradise. Those voted out since Zack came into the hotel then return to crown the winner in some sort of vote. Drama once again ensues as old enemies turn into friends and friends turn into enemies. Which couple will take home the grand prize? Make sure to tune in next week as I’m sure it will be a shocker!

After two severe blindsides in a row I really didn’t think Survivor could top it’s self for a third time. But tonight proved just why the show is so amazing and why it’s returning for at least four more seasons. It all began where the last left off and that is with James’ finger. After the last Tribal Council he was sent, by Jeff, to the medical boat where they gave him a few shots. They also told him that if his finger wasn’t better the next morning he would most likely have to be taken out of the game.

The next morning it seems we have another injury on our hands with Alexis. She took a tumble during the night and got a scrape on her knee. That’s all we saw at least but I’m sure she has some major damage, unless it’s all in her head. Amanda and the others then worry about James possibly leaving the game. Amanda knows that James is her closest ally and going out would greatly hinder her game.

The reward challenge was an oldie but a goodie and actually one that Cirie won in Exile Island. I was rooting for her to repeat her win but also knew it would be tough. She isn’t the “most liked” this time around as everyone is kind of spread out with the love. That’s exactly what the reward was actually, a visit from a loved one. The challenge had each survivor fill out a questionnaire in private. They all then gathered back together to answer what they thought the majority said. If they guessed correctly then they got to chop a rope of another player. The last person remaining would win a visit to the famous non-electric jelly fish lake and would bring their family member along with. Parvati was out first followed by Erik, James and then Natalie. Cirie was the last out and had to choose between Amanda and Alexis winning. She chose Alexis to take the reward and she returned the favor by selecting Cirie and Natalie to go along with.

Directly following the challenge James’ finger was once again looked at. The nurse then told Jeff that the infection had set in pretty bad and she worried that his finger could be lost or worse. James didn’t seem to want to go but apparently they didn’t give him the choice that was given to Jonathan. He was then allowed to say goodbye to Parvati and Erik and was then boated out to the hospital where his infections where treated just in time for Tribal Council.

At the jelly fish lake the three girls and their family members spent some time hanging with the jelly fish. It was pretty cool to watch as it’s an amazing site and I’m glad they brought it back again. The small clip showed just how bad Alexis’ leg was and also showed how Cirie is still changing thanks to survivor. She seemed less “frightened” by everything this time around but still has some of that Exile Island scare in her as she finally realized everything isn’t going to hurt her.

Over at Exile Island, where Amanda was sent thanks to Alexis, the clues and idol have returned. They seemed more easy at first considering all the clues were at the initial island she started at. After finding a clue in the ocean she was told to dig in a line made by the hut and an island. After about 30 feet of digging she finally found the last clue which told her the idol was hidden back at camp. Under their tribe flag to be exact. It was kind of a bummer as she just dug how long just to find the clue but I’m sure she’s happy now she dug that much cause it really helped her in the end.

When the three girls returned they quickly learned that James was out of the game. This quickly sent the four girls, including Parvati, into a thought bubble as they knew if Erik won the immunity idol they would then have to vote out one of their own. During a small chat Parvati let it slip she wouldn’t vote out Amanda since they were so tight the entire game. She then went on to ask Alexis if she would want to go thanks to her knee which was a pretty dumb move. Obviously Alexis would think she’s going now if Erik wins and put some doubt in both Alexis and Natalie’s mind.

At the immunity challenge Amanda quickly learned that James was gone. She didn’t seem to happy but the game moved on. The challenge was to use a high powered gun to shoot down three colored bottles. The first to do so would win the immunity and would be safe. In the first round Natalie, Parvati and Erik hit their bottles giving them a point. The next round saw only Erik hit a bottle which put him in the lead. The last round saw Natalie catch back up and Amanda hit a bottle. Erik hit his third and last and gave him the immunity that he needed.

The girls weren’t too happy with the outcome as their easy vote was for Erik to go. Natalie and Alexis then made it known that Amanda would be their vote as they scooped up Erik as well. Amanda knew she was going and told Parvati where the hidden idol was. She also went on a very huge show to show the others that she didn’t have it. They believed her and at that point she was telling the truth. Before she started to search for the idol Amanda worked on both Erik and Cirie to help her stay in. Erik told her flat out that he would be voting for her to go while Cirie seemed on the fence. She told Amanda that a “purple rock” would come into play had there been a tie. I don’t think that would have happened but rather the fire challenge would take place but we really don’t know. While everyone was eating the chicken Amanda went to work on the idol. Parvati helped a bit by saying she went to wash since she “told her she smelled” and it gave Amanda enough to find the hidden idol.

At tribal council we were left without knowing that Amanda did find the idol as they never did say for sure. She played it up SO much and SO well that she was going that I honestly didn’t think she had it. As the jury walked in James was oddly missing. He then walked in as the jury sat down and everyone was in for a shock. He came in with IV bags and everything. The jury had not known what had happened and Eliza said it all at how shocked they were. During the tribal chat everyone told Jeff that Amanda would be going. Nobody had any idea she had the idol and it played out beautifully. Right as Jeff was about to read the votes Amanda quickly pulled out the idol. Her mood changed so quickly from depression to over joyed as she laughed at everyone sitting there. Natalie and Alexis most stunning, knowing one of them would leave, and that they did as Alexis walked out of the game. Next time it seems like the drama continues as the girls turn to Erik to make sure they get one step closer. Crazy Natalie comes out once again apparently, will it be her downfall?
