Who would you think Ken would want to get rid of next?

I think most people are inclined to taking out Randy and Corrine next. However, I'm worried about Bob. If Ken, Crystal, Susie, Matty, Sugar, and Bob made the final six, I have a feeling that Matty a Sugar would need Bob. They could use him to figure out who Ken, Crystal, and Susie would want to get rid of next. Then Bob would tell Matty and Sugar their next target, and since Sugar has the hidden immunity idol, she could just give it to that person, which is not good at all. Plus, Bob is probably more of a threat at this point because who knows what he will do with the fake idol he created?

Unless Ken figures out that he could just lie to Bob, knowing he will tell Matty and Sugar later on. Say if Ken tells Bob that they are going to vote off Matty because he is a physical threat. Ken and his alliance would really be voting for either Bob or Sugar, while Matty uses and wastes the idol at Tribal Council. That is unless Sugar decides not to give her idol away.

Edit: Also, there is the problem of a double-cross since it would probably be: Ken, Crystal, and Susie vs. Matty, Sugar, and Bob. However, I think Bob would be more inclined to join Ken's side so that they have numbers, therefore not having a double-cross. Still, Sugar's immunity idol is more of a problem...

eh...i think ken played great these past 2 episodes, but he is still in a bad position lol.
think about it. now that he is the "leader" of the former fang+susie, and the fang tribe has a 5-3 advantage, they could basically blindside one of their own without any counsequences except not getting their vote at the jury. now i think if they do decide to do this (and in past seasons theey almost always do this) i think it's either gonna be ken or sugar. sugar because she has the idol, and ken because he's "leader" and has more chance of winning if he gets to the final 3 or 2.

I would like to remind everyone that this topic is supposed to be about the game, not spreading rumors. I have heard quite a few complaints in the last few days that this thread is getting really spammy, that people are calling Ken a homophobe because he voted of Charlie and that people are going off topic a lot. Some names have been thrown around, including choknater, steeler and a few others who have been posting a lot of non-contributing posts. I don't know how much of it is true because this topic has 273 pages and that's a lot of posts to review. However, I'd like to ask that everyone stays on topic and that the spam stops. Thanks.

In the earlier episode Ken could of had that idol instead of everybody throwing the thing into the sea. He could of took the idol clue and wiped his face with it like it was a paper towlet, and stuffed it in his pocket. Nobody of would never suspected it. Then he could go and find it, and have free immunity idol .

Yeah, i found it odd that Ken would just sit there and read it in front of everyone.

Great, except...the only way he would be able to actually get the idol would be walking away from the table, going off to a clearly visible tree, begin digging for no apparent reason, stuff a small wooden thing in his pocket, and walk back to the table without anyone noticing.

Totally inconspicous, right?

That really is a great idea (I honestly never thought of using it as a napkin :p) but what Ken has to do after getting the hint would draw way too much attention to himself and it would be too difficlut to do without a large amount of cover.

Unless he picks Sonic and sets it to Invisible Brawl.

Then he might have a shot.

I'm not sure who told you, but I can assure you, this thread has stayed on topic 99% of the time.

I will not deny that it is spammy (spammy as in, lots and lots of posts at one time) but you will be hard-pressed to find 10 posts that have little to nothing to do with Survivor. Closest thing we've been to that is a quick little "Wifey" discussion around page 269. It really all depends on what you consider "spam", I suppose...

I think there might have been two comments about Ken being a homophobe. One was a single line post, and I'm quite sure the person was joking. The other one actually presented some sort of evidence that Ken called Charlie a "***" (starts with an f) behind his back, but someone else said that that was just Randy trying to spark drama. The rumour was not perpetuated any farther than that.

Steeler has presented quite a bit of analysis on the episode and has also given many links to other Survivor related videos and such ( what jury members do, Jeff's blog, etc). He barely has a spam post in this whole thread.

I don't know about choknater, you know how he posts, lol. But I know for sure that he has made no comment on this homophobic rumour that floated for...ten minutes before sinking back into the thread. It most definitely would never be heard of again. :/

I've been lurking and posting in this thread since near it's creation, so I hope you can believe me when I say that, if this thread ever goes back to spam/off-topic, it will always bounce back on. A Smash player on Survivor is too epic for even spammers to not pay attention to.

The preview for that episode showed everyone swimming so I assume after they ate they hung out for a while before opening the box. That would of been ken's chance to get the idle.

Uh, I talk about Survivor in here. I probably just do it in a dumb way and people report me because of how I post anyway. For the past few days (because of infractions) I've improved the quality of my posts but because of my history no one really notices yet.

Anyway, I wonder how Bob is going to use that fake idol... Would anyone fall for it? Obviously he can't use it at tribal council, so how in the world would he use that for the game? Reveal it to the camp members? Allow them to find it? Sugar obviously won't fall for it, so I don't know.

I really wonder if that fake idol will come into play at some point. It looks REALLY good.

There probably isn't any connection, but I'll just throw it out there ;0.

This is a list of Survivors (that are still in the game) on Facebook and their friends (that are still in the game).

Bob, Crystal, and Susie don't have Facebook accounts.

Ken: Matty, Sugar, Randy, Corinne
Matty: Ken, Sugar, Randy, Corinne
Sugar: Ken, Matty
Randy: Ken, Matty, Corinne
Corinne: Ken, Matty, Randy

So if you still haven't noticed, Sugar is not friends with either Randy or Corinne. And a few hours before the last episode was aired, Randy changed his status to "Randy is preparing for a round of golf with some idiots!", and Corinne jumped in and said "Wait, are Susie and Sugar in town??? Oh, you mean you know OTHER idiots?!?" (lol).

I was just thinking, even though it might not mean anything since most of the time all of the Survivors end up being friends with all of the other Survivors. In the last episode it was up to Sugar to vote out Charlie or Crystal, and she ended up ruining Corinne/Randy's alliance. She clearly hates Corinne and Randy, and possibly still does.

In the next episode it seems like Ken's safety in the game relies on Matty and Sugar staying with him, Crystal, and Susie. And from the preview, it looks as if Randy and Corinne have a plan to get them to switch sides. But I honestly don't think Sugar would go along with them. After all, they were the only reason she voted out Charlie.

EDIT, since I don't want to double post:

I really wonder if that fake idol will come into play at some point. It looks REALLY good.
They hyped up the fake idol in one of the short promos. Saying something about there being one tribe with two idols, but will they be able to distinguish the real one? (Or something like that, I don't really remember :p)

I think it'll come into play. And they already confirmed that there will be some gameplay involving an idol.

Also, Jeff said in one of his blogs that the next episode is the best in the season, but he's not going to hype it up.

I can't wait :3.

EDIT AGAIN due to not wanting to double post:

Someone explain to me why charlie was voted out...

It's worth investigating, but I doubt Facebook statuses have much bearing on the game. Keep in mind that the game is all filmed at once before the season starts. People may have taken the time to forgive one another.

Right, that's why I said it probably didn't mean anything ;P.

Although if for whatever reason Sugar still has not forgiven Randy or Corinne (or vice versa), it could mean that she does not go along with their alliance, or that, if any of them are in the Final Three/Jury, Sugar will not vote for Randy or Corinne, or Randy/Corinne won't vote for Sugar.

All I know is that I hate Corinne a lot, and it's not for the reasons she would like. Sure, she's acting like a wench and wants to be the hated character on the show (sorta like Randy), but she's doing it all wrong. She's going to be voted off soon for acting like an idiot, and I really just want to punch her in the face... twice...

Well Bob's "hoax" idol will only work if none of the original Fang members (e.i. Ken, Crystal) don't know of of it's existence otherwise they will immediatly konw it's fake since they aready know Sugar holds the true idol.

heh, like I suspected, eventually you would have been a mod, congrats

Nice. Who's the host? Master Hand or Tabuu? lol
Back on topic,

I actually kinda like watching Corinne and Randy. They make it interesting.
About Sugar, either:

A. She has no idea that they are just mainly acting bad for the show.
Or
B. She's weird.

And A is really my opinionated opinion lol.
In that interview, Charlie said Sugar was really acting all "diva-ish," taking everyone's stuff without permission.
Random question, you think Ken and Charlie made up after the show was over?

About Ken's name-calling, it was probably just like out of minor anger and stuff. About the idol, of course.

haha. My favorites on the Show are Ken, of course, Sugar, and Susie. I can not stand Corrine, but part of me wants to like her... This season there were too many I liked and not enough I didn't. I HATE RANDY! He's an Ahole! Crystal just cracks me up. Like when Kelly, Ace, and Marcus found out they were voted out and not her, her face was all smug and she was like "yeah, now what? thats right you cant do nothing" She just makes me laugh...

I havent decided whether to make Tabuu, Master Hand, or some other person...

But I know for sure that he has made no comment on this homophobic rumour that floated for...ten minutes before sinking back into the thread. It most definitely would never be heard of again. :/
http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/...lks-about-his-time-on-survivor-gabon-8010.php

So, Charlie says that Ken called him "Homo" and "fag".
I doubt this is true. I bet it was just a stunt pullled by his alliance to secure a vote....

Good going guys. :/

Let's keep away from this topic.

Lmao, yeah, that was one of the weirdest things I've ever seen of Survivor.

Weirder than Susie winning immunity even.

OK, maybe not THAT weird.
Corrine has fake coco's? That really didn't surprise me, though the weirdest things that might happen is if bob manges to fool someone with his fake hoax immnuity idol, how awesome would that be. ^_^

Let's keep the topic on focus, lest I test out my powers on one of you. Let's stop with the one-liners.

That's what she said.
Ok, got it.

@Greenflame: Tabuu should be the producer of the show, and Master Hand should be the host. The host has no power over the course of the game, like Master Hand was just a puppet. Anyway, your idea seems awesome. Keep it up.

That stuff about the survivors' facebook pages was interesting. Now Ken could potentially win in the final 2/3 against Sugar as well as Crystal and Suzie because he would automatically have 2 free votes, plus any of his allience members that get voted out.
