Can you even imagine the relief at camp once Abi was voted out? I would think that there was a brief period of dancing and celebration, followed by complete silence for about 8 straight hours. Ahead of myself as usual....
It all started with Skupin winning a reward challenge. He got to choose 2 people to go along with him in a helicopter that would take them to a boat, where they would swim with some giant (non-man-eating) sharks. Cool! Skupin chose well. He picked Malcolm first (to pay back for Malcolm choosing Skupin to spend the day with his son a while back) and then picked his long-time ally, Lisa. That left Abi and poor, poor Denise alone together at camp for the day.
From Abi's perspective: "Ugh. I have to spend the day with Denise. Denise is a horrible person."
From Denise's perspective: "Ugh. I want to gouge my eyes out and then put giant needles into my ears to help me get through this."
Something tells me they don't get along. Ha! It was pretty funny listening to Abi go on and on and on (and that was like, a minute-long clip. Denise had to endure this for a whole day!) about how she has her idol and how people should be paying her more respect, etc.... Yes, the millions watching also wanted to stick giant needles in our ears.
As an aside... the Jeff Probst show this week (Jeff's daytime talk show. Do you watch?) had the final five from Survivor. I only watched the clips. Lisa was good. They all answered some fun questions from the audience (and some dreadfully unimaginative ones too... "What was the first thing you ate when you got home?" Really?) And then there was an interview with Abi on her own. Basically Abi tries to blame the "one time" she was really bitchy (????) on PMS. For real. Check it out:

She tries to do it again in the clip where they're all chatting and Malcolm calls her out, saying something like, "You were PMSing for 33 days straight?" Haha!

Where were we?
Right, so while they're away, Malcolm, Lisa & Skupin make a final three 'deal'...everyone with the idea that they can't beat Denise in the final. All depends though on who will win the next immunity challenge.
Speaking of immunity challenges, this one was amazing. Malcolm totally fell behind everyone, and still managed to win it! He's the new Ozzy, non? So with Malcolm having immunity AND an idol, it looks like it'll either be Abi or Denise going home. Lisa & Skupin discuss keeping Abi in their final 3, and Abi does her best to sell them on it. It's definitely a strategy, and the odd thing is that Lisa keeps going on about how she's not ashamed to want to sit next to someone she can beat.... YET, in the end, she voted for Abi. I think Lisa is smart to play the loyalty card here. Now none of the final 4 can say they went back on their word - which was to make the final four together. However, is it impossible to beat Malcolm and Denise? Remember that none of those former yellow team guys really loved either Lisa or Skupin (which also makes it super awesome that they are the ones sitting in the final four!!). RC, Artis, Pete and Abi.... I think will all give their vote to Malcolm. RC perhaps could go over to Denise....
Getting ahead of myself again.
The loveliest part of Tribal Council was when Abi continued to berate Skupin for what seemed like no reason at all. Let's remember that she was desperately trying to court Skupin and Lisa to keep her over Denise. Yet, she - pretty much out of the blue - declares to Skupin, "You are an idiot." Followed by, "You are a complete moron." And then in case we didn't hear it the first time, "You are such a moron." Yup. Not a cultural thing at all. So yeah, they voted Abi out and then literally danced their way out of the Tribal Council area. Abi of course thinks that no one can handle her "honesty"... she just "tells it like it is..." and deserves to be in that final five spot... ha!
Which brings me to Ponderosa... Do you guys watch? Go to YouTube right now and search Survivor Philippines Ponderosa. Give yourself some time to go through each one. It's great. (Each person has a part 1 and part 2... except RC, who for some inexplicable reason gets 4 parts.) You can see the crazy, crazy drama that goes on after everyone gets voted off. Let me just say that RC ends up looking crazier than Abi. Jeff also is apparently not into being pals with everyone and is a bit of a whiny baby... I think Carter is flirting with Abi.... and Penner is still awesome. And though she's not acting as crazy as RC, Abi still will not shut the hell up and those poor people are forced to deal with it. "I did not know so many people hated me." Snort.
Anyway.... do NOT forget that the finale is this SUNDAY night. We all think it will be Malcolm or Denise, right?
