Final six predictions

[Amanda Kimmel]

All this gets only one topic because of how boring it is.

Seriously.

This season had my hopes high but gameplay wise, it's turning into another Jiuzhaigou. Ruled by a threesome.

Thankfully I have six strong All-stars from this bunch and it's two separate alliances of three.

I'm also sad this twist didn't turn out. Still love the idea but it let one group dominate. Which was unexpected because I thought the challenge whores would be more spread out.

I hope Brenda uses that legitimately 6x on somebody and that somebody doesn't play their idol. I would totally love that. I want Brenda to live another day. I want The Trinity to fracture. Because this is just Jiuzhaigou all over again, only without Survivor Awesome or an FTC catfight. At least this season had more blindsides and more epic players though Angie is worse than Barbie... and where the hell is the drama?

My assessment of this season right now is that it is in the tier with Tonga and Malaysia. Epic but not incredibly so. Not even close to Namibia and All-stars 1. I don't know if I could ever top those two. Of course, Manchuria and Turkey were amazing also. But really, the first half of the series was so much better than the second has been.

I have no real predictions now since idols will be played and Brenda is done... unless she uses the 6x on Shawna. Which she very well could. She knows she has to go all-out with the goods... and hope they're real. Both her triples are...

I think I'd be fine with Anthony or Jen winning this game (plus Brenda if she survives). Nobody else really gives me a positive image of a winner, even Yau. He just doesn't do enough for me, particularly confessional-wise.

Only Anthony left Hope he and Yau make the final two <3

Jen is starting to bother me a bit. She is getting rather arrogant... and kind of rude too. I really hope that she doesn't win but the edit has been totally suggesting it, at least how it plays in my mind.

I wanted a Brenda win. It would have been Jiuzhaigou 2 though. Yau though has plans... The Trinity may implode because of good ol' Jess. Looking forward to that.

She can never stay straight with a good thing can she...

Eh, I remember reading in The Whining of Rose about the "Gabon Guys" alliance in VS9 and that Jess had "never felt so comfortable" with a group before while Rose got more and more annoyed with Jess and wanted to blindside her. Didn't happen. That alliance made the final five. Jess and Rose made FTC. Rose, being cursed, got really sick and dropped to third and Jess won again which made Rose rather angry.

If I recall correctly, Alex, you know -all- about that because you were in that alliance. Unless you know something that wasn't mentioned in The Whining of Rose, like Jess betrayed a deal with you or something... or I'm only remembering parts of it. What's your side of the story?

[Alex Angarita]

I'm not familiar with what she said, but if she hadn't taken me out right before the finals, I think I would've won, so yeah...

Also I was supposed to be in the final 3 according to the agreements made, but of course when I tried beating her to the punch to take her out when I knew she wanted me gone, it didn't work. And guess who always gets the blame in me (or anyone else) vs Jess....

[Amanda Kimmel]

So Rose and Matty blamed you. *eyeroll*

Seems like she was the one leading them then... so your original comments stand.

I am still very -___- right now. Been spending quite a bit of time in bed

The Gabon Guys was definitely vs11. I tried breaking them up with no avail haha

[Sandra Diaz-Twine]

Wait Alex, who were you in vs11? I thought you were Chad....? How would you have been in the Gabon Guys' F3 in that case? lol

Did Yau get a penalty vote? I just read his voting history thread and I'm confused..

[Tracy Hughes-Wolf]

I hope that if Anthony makes the final two he has a good speech because I hate that the jury thinks he's done nothing but win challenges. Unfortunately that's the part of online gaming that sucks, people can't see what you're really doing in the game.

Anthony is a confessional beast. We know what he's been doing. Yau has lagged behind and Jen is nothing stellar with confessions. We know that both of them are really serious players though. I think that's part of it. I hope Anthony can explain himself as well as he does in his confessional but I don't expect him to make the end. Yau might try to blindside him this round...

I took that away. Was a misunderstanding.

[Amanda Kimmel]

Also Anthony and Jen both claimed fake rewards... could they end up blindsiding themselves...? That could be amusing...
