I think the main reason they didn't was because then it would have been 2 v 2 (girls vs boys) and so they would rather hold onto the advantage (effectively 3-1 now). But they won't have been too happy with Wendell, and won't feel bad blindsiding him.

As for Sandra, it was a pretty dumb move without at least ensuring all 4 votes weren't on Denise. Denise played the idol for Jeremy b/c she couldn't imagine Sandra would be so dumb as to make that move without having votes on Jeremy too. Sandra herself should have voted for Tony or Kim, and could even have last-minute arranged with Jeremy to go for one of those two. So dumb.

Yeah, even though I got knocked out, I was cheering. Epic move.

I can't believe it! The only reason I took a chance on Sandra was she had the idol. I never thought she would pull something so stupid like that. I knew the moment she made that crazy deal Denise was going to do that. I don't know how someone is going to get back from extinction island but if it is a challenge there is no way I think she would win.

I think it was last season where I picked a guy because he had an idol. He went home carrying the idol in his pocket.

It would be boring as shit to watch the full footage. But sometimes I wish we had the chance to see more of what goes on to see why some of these guys do the things that look so dumb.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

I can't believe NormM is out of the game! At least I am in good company.

I was expecting Sandra to manipulate someone this week like always, but could not have seen this coming. Great move by Denise.

I think it's going to be a simple buy your chance back in.

Welcome NormM, Jmac and the Captain to exile Island.

I was getting lonely.

Norm thanks for the laugh that was good.

now the bad, internet rumor is someone raises the flag on Exile this week.

Week 2: Parvati


Week 3: Boston Rob


Week 4: Yul Kwon


Week 5: Denise Stapley


Week 6: Sandra Diaz


Week 7: Sarah Lacina ( First pick in Extinction )

I heard that too. On top of it they seemed to hint it was Sandra. My other thought ( hope ) is that maybe more than one person will be able to get back into the game. I can't recall in the season opener if it was said explicitly that it would be just one coming back from edge of extinction. As in " one person " will get back in the game vs " you will have a chance " to get back into the game. In any event I would much rather have my shot to get back in be with someone like Rob, Tyson or Natalie ( who has 4 fire tokens ) than Sandra.

Right, you still pick.

If your person on exile is the one that rejoins the game you are back in. If your person does not rejoin then you are officially out.

The picks are in.

Well, now I am really, really out.

Nick and Michelle made a big mistake in my opinion. Sure, Yul was strategic and would be tough to beat down the road, but at least he seemed to be loyal.
Wendell just can't be trusted. He is going to hitch his wagon to whoever suits him at the merge.

Week 8: Kim
