Ack - late post again! Once again, my Spencer made it through! Yay, Spence!
Tony is starting to crack a bit (more), non? All that venting because he got some votes at Tribal Council, when he should just be keeping quiet and thanking his lucky stars that it was Morgan who went home instead of him. Right? Nope. Instead, he interrogates the others... Why did you vote for me? Am I a threat? Why am I such a threat? I'm an old, bald guy! Who, me? I don't get it? I guess it's a compliment, right? Why didn't you just ask who we were voting for and vote WITH us? Ugh... Sit DOWN, Tony.The last time I checked, that's not how it works. Oh, let's see... I'm on the bottom of the totem pole, I don't have the numbers in my alliance... I'm just going to go over to the folks with the numbers and they'll honestly tell me who they're voting for so that I can vote with them. Right.
Tony does come up with a pretty good plan, however, to start getting rid of his biggest alpha male competition (that's not Trish... heh.) (Her words, not mine.). He tells LJ that he thinks Woo has an immunity idol & that they should vote off Woo, and then tells Woo that LJ wants to vote for him. Clever, right? Make one guy sort of agree that the other could be voted off (LJ never actually agreed to this) and then you're not actually lying when you tell the other one (well, you're definitely exaggerating) that they said they're after you. Follow? At any rate, Woo - bless him - is pretty gullible. He's certain that Tony is solid and wouldn't lie to him. Everyone else seems a little leary of Tony... except Woo. Poor Woo - I think you could tell him anything and he'd believe you.
Things got even better for Tony when he won reward - a "spa" trip - with Spencer and Jeremiah. How perfect that Tony gets to suss out whether or not the others would be willing to vote with him to save themselves. Ummmm... the answer is - of course! When you're on the bottom, you'll pretty much entertain anything to stay around a couple more days. It was funny to me that the team with the three men on it won the spa reward. Not that they didn't enjoy it as much as the ladies would have... but they just couldn't have enjoyed it as much as the ladies would have. Sorry. And those poor massage ladies having to deal with all those ugly man-feet. Blech.
As it turns out, LJ should not have stuck with his alliance. He did have one chance to turn it around, but hindsight is 20/20. Tasha approached him & wanted him to vote with her group (Spencer & Jeremiah) against Tony. And if LJ voted with her, she figured he could also swing Jefra into doing it too. It would have been a great blindside. Frustratingly for Tasha, no one really wants to strategize with her...ever. She's probably one of the best players of this game who isn't being allowed to play. She does win immunity in a memory challenge (yay, Brains!) so is at least safe for this round. (Did you love that two people were out after trying to remember two colours in a row? Thanks for the memories, Trish & Woo.) (Heh.)
So it looks like the plan is for the alliance of six (Tony, Trish, Woo, LJ, Jefra & Kass) to vote 3 for Spencer & 3 for Jeremiah, just in case someone has an idol. Tony and Woo throw their votes for LJ with Tasha, Spencer & Jeremiah in a pretty good blindside, but now what? Now how do you feel if you're Trish, Jefra or Kass? Not so good, I'm thinking. The tides flip once again! AND, Spencer didn't play his idol (very risky!) so he's still safe(ish). I'm thinking Tony & Woo had better win some immunity this week, or they might just be in trouble. Unless Tony can keep working the magic. And why does Tony say at Tribal Council that he "works construction?" Doesn't everyone know at theis point that he's a cop? The "HUH?" look on Sarah's face was absolutely delightful. Next time, it looks like Woo might have bigger fish to fry as he falls out of a coconut tree - NOT a very ninja move. Yikes!
