You're right, I mixed it up. Kelly could really use that thing well if she's smart. Absolutely no one knows she has it; ditto Jeremy.

I also just looked at the spreadsheet and noticed I did pick Tasha. This getting older crap is killing my brain

Dang, I really really thought Terry would win it. Wonder if they could bring him back??

Do you mean bring him back for a third season? Sure, that could happen.

They'd never bring someone back in. Once you leave, you're gone, regardless of the reason.

Down goes Kass.

Post Merge Picks:

Kelley Wentworth (0.5 Bonus Multiplier)
Joe Anglim (0.5 Bonus Multiplier)

Spencer, Kelley here. With the multiplier

So do I have to whittle my original four down to two? Or can I keep all four?

If I only get two, and I keep two originals, I get a bonus?

Siera with the smart game play voting for Savage. She can use that to work with tasha

Rule of thumb. Never rock the boat at camp.

The standings after tonight's episode: Joe lovers got a nice +5 with him making the merge, winning the II, and surviving Tribal.

I read the rules but didn't quite understand. That's why I asked.

You can pick any two remaining players. If one or both of your new picks are your original picks then you get a point bonus for everything they do.

I disagree. I see no point in that vote. All it allows her to do is say she didn't write her name down. Doesn't help her with the other 8 people.

The smart move to extend her game would have been to vote Kass since they knew the vote was split and in the case that she was the one supposed to get 5 (which she was according to pre-council talk even though Kass got the 5 bites) she would have at least caused the vote to be a tie.

Look like we don't have to do 1 male & 1 female, so I'm going Keith +.05 & Jeremy.

Man, I suck at making picks! (not really a surprise though)

Post merge I choose Spencer & Keith.

Spencer and Kelley for 0.5+ points

Jeremy and Tasha for me.

This is definitely tough. I think I have to go with Spencer and Tasha.

I am hoping Joe being in the game takes some of the pressure off getting these two out.

Hopefully the rest of the knuckleheads left take one look at Joe and say "TARGET HIM" - he won the first II and he was the swing vote in who went home. He needs to be out quick before he gets on a run.

I wonder if at this point Abi and Fischback realize that if they do absolutely nothing but what they're told, they'll be in the final 5?

I wonder if Fischback realizes he's currently on the exact same story arc as in his first season - a vote, no threat at immunity challenges, the kind of guy you want sitting next to you.

I loved the crazy dynamics with a 13 person merge. Definitely made for some fun scrambling!

Agree on Fishbach. I really like him, but the way he's playing is exactly like his first time. If he makes it to the end, I don't see him getting the check.

I'm sticking with my original picks - Jeremy and Kelley Wentworth. Kelley seems to be playing smart - she's not necessarily aligning with the right people, but she's voting correctly and still hanging onto the idol that no one knows about. I like Jeremy's odds with the others remaining as well.

Did anyone else find it odd that Fishbach started out the season totally on the outs with the "bro alliance" on Bayon, but now he's an integral part of it?

I'm going to go with Wentworth as my original because I think she's in a good spot and playing well to stay there. I'm going with Jeremy, though for my other choice. My original two guys were Spencer and Joe, and both seem to be targets now.

So before that immunity challengecI say to my wife, Fishback will will this one.

She looks at me, "Are you serious?"

"no, he will be the first one out."

Then he drops the ball.

I've decided to take Wesley Snipes'advice and always bet on black - Jeremy & Tasha are my picks going forward.

Don't forget, your post-merge picks need to be posted here by 6:59 p.m. CDT next Wednesday. If not, you're out.

If you happen to badly need to change your picks (the two), don't go back and edit your post. type it here in ALL CAPS so I can see it. Same deadline on that.

Staying with Savage and Kelley Went

Really enjoyed watching Kass be hypocritical about changing when she was the same person as before then get voted out.

I thought Spencer was the smartest player last night. Yes, he could have sided with Kass again and moved someone else out of there, but what was the point? That play only worked because the 9 were splitting their vote. You eff them over, the 8 of them realign and take you out next.

Like Ratgirl before her, Kass' game just doesn't translate very well on a second go-round. You need to be somewhat likable for people to want to continue working with you, or just so b.s. crazy (abi) that they're willing to deal with you for 3 weeks in order to try and win $1 million.

When your entire game is proving how much smarter you are than everyone and disrupting the day-to-day, you eff yourself over. It seems like the players who want to air the dirty laundry in front of everyone usually go home on that episode.

TheSheik keeps
Kelley Wentworth and Keith with bonus potential

With all these people picking Kelley its almost a guarantee that she goes home with an idol in her pocket next week

You shut up!

I'm sticking with Joe and Wentworth in order to get those juicy bonus points.

Also, I'm wondering if they will be that romantic connection that Probst teased in his pre-season interview.

I read online today that the next season (out in February or so) will be Brains vs. Brawn vs. Beauty Part 2, so they're hopefully making it up to us soon.

This site, which apparently was built in 1998 by the looks of it, has photos of the likely candidates, including NBA legend Scott Pollard.
