Another Good Guy Gone!

OK... ummm... so first of all, sorry I've been away so long. Is anyone still reading this? Let me know!

And second... I just wrote this whole thing, and then Blogger kicked me out without saving any of it, so I'm writing mad and now this post will probably be short. Sigh.

Right.  So we're down to the final bunch. The two leaders, Josh & Jeremy are the first jury members. Wasn't a surprise when Josh got taken down, but Jeremy? Didn't think his alliance would turn on him so quickly. Was it a smart move on their part? Yep. Do I like it? Nope. Does that make for good TV? Sure does.

What happened is that Jon & Jaclyn voted with Jeremy's alliance group to vote out Josh. To say thanks, Jeremy & Natalie gave up their spots in the reward when they won the challenge. Nice, yes, but also hoping that it's going to cement the love with Jon & Jaclyn. BUT, then they send Jeremy to Exile because he wants to go look for the immunity idol. Which, of course, he doesn't find because Jon already has it. Rather than fess up to Jeremy, Jon figures he should just vote him out now and goes to Missy & Baylor with the plan. Reed, who's desperate now to just stay in the game, pledges his support and the plan is hatched. Jeremy's out.

This will leave Natalie in a dangerous, but potentially good spot. She could be a swing vote, depending which side Reed sits on. Is Reed going to stick with Missy & Baylor (probably) or with the dudes? If the 2 couple alliance is smart, they'll try to vote out one of the other 'couple' - Wes  or Keith - before Natalie. Keith has an idol, which is dangerous... and makes for a trickier vote, but still can be done, especially if they use Natalie and don't just see her as an easy vote.

I've softened towards Baylor lately - given how badly she was treated by the Duck Dynasty boys and Alec, the mimbo, and how solidly she handled it. She did not engage & showed way more maturity than they were showing, that's for sure. Still, do I really want her or Missy to win? Not really. Though, I've got to give kudos where they're due - Missy's playing a pretty good game.

Jon & Jaclyn are somehow owning the game, but does anyone else find them a bit annoying? I don't really know why. I just do. And, I'm not certain that they're making any friends as they go.

How is Alec still in this game at all? Discuss.

So.. with my favourite two gone already, I'm left to cheer for their partners in crime - Natalie and Reed.

In Jeremy's own parting words, "They voted out one of the good guys." So true.

Josh & Jeremy for the next all-stars for sure?  Yeah!
