Miss Mary-
You are right. It will all depend on the immunity challenge. If Julie manages to win it...

Bye bye Jules.....had nothing against her but not sorry to see her go either.
Twila.....get a grip girl!!! I'm still rooting for ya but man, oh man, don't alienate everyone!!! I think she almost reached her limit in last night's episode.
And can I make a few observations I never thought possible going into the finale?
1. Scout is in the final four!!! Scout!!! We pegged as her as getting voted off early on. Wrong! As my daughter says, going into these remaining challenges, Scout won't likely be able to compete well, so she's of little threat. That's why they wanted Jules out.
2. Elizza is in the final four!!! This girl is just determined enough to go all the way. And she's so thin, it's almost as if she's saying - who needs food? LOL After packing her bag repeatedly for at least 5 Tribal Council's, it's just surprising to see her still in the game!
3. And sadly, I really thought Sarge would be in the final four....

I can see where Twila doesn't have many fans. There's just something about her I liked from the beginning. I just didn't expect her to go off on Eliza last night. Twila seems tired. And sunburned. I put myself in that situation and it would be very difficult for me to be nice all the time. I'd be very crabby at this point!
TV Guide online is conducting a survey to see who you want to win. Chris is in the lead. Then Eliza, Twila and Scout.
Of all of them, I really wanted Chad to make it this far. When I see him sitting with the jury, I think he belongs still IN the game. Dang.

GO CHRIS!!!!
Brent - LOL Can you imagine being one of the contestants? Knowing the results are just about to air...finally! My daughter Laura's always saying - now if I got voted off, what's to stop me from starting a website and telling all? We crack up and try to explain they have to sign wavers to remain silent. But you know hotel personnel must know who's still in the game....I am surprised details haven't been leaked in the past!

Boohoo....Twila lost. Dang it! But she came close - second. If that means anything. Question - does the person coming in second win anything? A car, small amount of money, something?
The reunion show was great. I still can't believe Ami voted for Twila - did NOT predict that.
-Scout just seems like such a genuinely nice person.
-Sarge speaks his mind, isn't big enough to admit past mistakes.
-Twila played the game hard, didn't expect to make any friends along the way, and in the end I think that's what did her in.
-Laughed at the all the bull**it references thrown at Chris.
-And the tears!!! Especially before the reunion....Jules could hardly get a sentence out! Brother/sister....come on, does she still buy that? LOL
-And Chris even lied to his fiance!!! Wow, can he be expected to ever tell the truth?
-One final comment, when Ami said the minute she decided to forgive Twila, my rock bottom opinion of her went up a bit. No mention of still wanting to hold Twila's head under water!
Ready for the next installment. But not that new reality show! My family and I just watched The Mansion, on TBS. It wrapped up a few weeks ago. They chose a mansion in the Cincinnati area to renovate over 8 weeks, with a team of 8. When we all saw this new type of reality show (mansion, throwing a party, decorating within 24 hours?) we all shook our heads. Nope, not going to watch THAT!!!

From TV Guide online.....Chris speaks!

Survivor Winner's Strategy Secrets
by Angel Cohn
Chris Daugherty, 33, came from behind as the surprise victor of Survivor: Vanuatu. As the last man standing (literally), he out-scammed this season's seemingly unbeatable female faction, thanks in part to runner-up Twila bringing him into her alliance. He mostly just let the ladies take each other down, but he did have to tell his fair share of whoppers to win, and that included lying to his bride-to-be. Here, the sole Survivor tells TV Guide Online why all the deceit was worth it.
TV Guide Online: How will you spend the $1 million?
Chris Daugherty: I am going to go buy myself a Harley first. I actually went shopping for one last week, before I knew that I won. Isn't that arrogant?
TVGO: Yeah, a little. So you had a hunch things would go your way at Sunday's finale?
Chris: I took the most controversial, outspoken person in the game to the final two, so I definitely had a premonition. Basically, I said to myself, "If I don't win against Twila, it wasn't meant for me to win against anybody."
TVGO: Think you played the game better than she did?
Chris: Absolutely!
TVGO: Even though she saved you by bringing you into her alliance?
Chris: No! Big negative, honey. Listen to this. Basically, it was Twila saying, "You ain't got a chance in hell, but if you convince Eliza to join me and Scout, we'll go to the final four. You've got to remember that Twila and Scout were at the bottom of the pecking order. They knew that, but were stuck with nothing to do unless they convinced me to convince Eliza to get the numbers. Because Eliza hated Twila and Scout and she still does.
TVGO: So you're saying you did them a favor?
Chris: It was fifty-fifty. They came to me and offered me an opportunity to stay in the game, if I gave them the same opportunity back. Of course, it was not portrayed that way. The conversation with Eliza in the woods was so much longer than they showed, and me convincing her was extremely difficult. But it worked out perfectly.
TVGO: Well, it worked out for you! Is Eliza speaking to you anymore?
Chris: Yeah, we're really good friends. She's great. Eliza was a huge player as well. When it was all over and we met up, she was like, "Good job, you played it well." I got the same compliment from Ami, the queen bee, of all people. She put her arm around me and said, "You little bastard, I had no idea." That amazes me. I don't think any one of the women knew I was playing the game. I think they thought I was coasting and doing what I could to have them keep me [around]. They didn't realize that I made an alliance to the end with six different people throughout the game.
TVGO: Well, it was a successful plan.
Chris: It was perfect. My strategy was, "If you want to make an alliance to the end, I'll watch your back if you watch mine." Then I'm like, "We can't tell nobody this because if we tell them, they'll separate us and vote us off and that puts us in jeopardy. So I won't say nothing about our alliance if you don't." I was sitting back watching Twila and Eliza and Julie and I'm like, "I cannot believe they haven't talked." And they never did!
TVGO: They all foolishly trusted you!
Chris: It was like my alliance with Bubba. I never broke my alliance with him, he just got voted off — the same with Sarge and Chad, a little different with Julie and Eliza.
TVGO: Yeah, you were definitely a little responsible for Eliza's and Julie's downfalls.
Chris: Just a little. I know it is crazy, but I would play it the same way if I did it again.
TVGO: Would you still lie to your fiancée, Lori, if you could do it over?
Chris: Yeah. That was funner than playing the game. We're talking about getting married in February.
TVGO: Obviously, she's forgiven you for sending her into therapy?
Chris: Yes. That whole therapy thing got blown out of proportion. Lori's like, "I didn't go to therapy." Well, Mom and Dad said she needed therapy when she got home [from visiting Vanuatu] because she was distraught thinking she was the reason I got voted off.
TVGO: So instead of consoling her, you egged her on?
Chris: Yeah, she was doing pretty good when I got home. She'd just say, "Oh, Chris, making the merge is unbelievable. You've succeeded in the game." And all along I'm like, "Yeah, but it sucked getting voted out."
TVGO: That's so mean!
Chris: It's not just me. My dad knew because I talked to him. Then on Thanksgiving, halfway through the show, she looked over to me and said, "Have you been lying to me?" It dawned on her and she was like, "You bastard." It was great. She loved it.
TVGO: Think she would've been less forgiving if you came in second place?
Chris: (Laughs) No, not at all. I think she would have been the same. You are totally basing it on the dollar signs, aren't you?
TVGO: Well, kinda. But the bottom line is that the wedding is still on.
Chris: Yeah. The deal is if I marry her, then she'll have a baby for me. I want a little kid.
TVGO: You'd be a fun dad... I think.
Chris: Heck, yeah. I'll be a real good dad, I've got a million bucks.
TVGO: Work on teaching the baby to tell the truth though, OK?
Chris: It is not like I'm going to be playing Survivor every day. It is only in the game! But I can make [my Survivor lies] sound really good. It is not so much that I lied, it is that I was charming.
TVGO: Charming?
Chris: Yeah. Don't you agree?
TVGO: Um... yeah.
Chris: No, you don't!
TVGO: But your lying did help you win, so I have to give you some credit.
Chris: I can live with that.
TVGO: Better buy your fiancée a really nice gift for putting up with everything.
Chris: Yeah, her Christmas list is growing as we speak.

I'm glad I was pulling for Twila to win. First Chad had my vote, then when he got voted off, I switched to Twila. Never Chris!!!

Found this article on TV Guide's website for the next Survivor installment, set to air in February. While they ran this article now as opposed to a week before it begins, is beyond me. But if anyone is interested in reading about where the next show will take place, read on:

Survivor: Palau's Island Secrets
by Tim Williams
OK, we can tell you the new season of Survivor begins in February with 20 new castaways, and host Jeff Probst says they're not the most even-keeled group. We can also tell you that the next round takes place in the Micronesian islands of Palau. Still, you might be wondering, "What's Palau?" And "Why don't I get out of my house more often?" We can answer the first question; as for the second, you're on your own.
What Is Palau? Palau (not to be confused with Survivor's first locale, Pulau Tiga) is a nation of islands located east of the Philippines and north of Indonesia. It's one of the world's least populated (about 20,000 people) and youngest nations. The economy is based on tourism, and residents of this collective of islands mostly speak Palauan and English. (One useful phrase for the new castaways: "Merkong!", which means "Stop! That's enough!")
Hollywood Highlight This isn't the first time the islands have been the backdrop for a Hollywood production. Some scenes in the 1968 movie Hell in the Pacific were shot there. The film is about two World War II pilots — one American (Lee Marvin) and one Japanese (Toshiro Mifune) — who crash on a deserted island and must learn how to cooperate in order to survive. Sound familiar?
Legend Has It Although there are several versions of the story, local folklore says that Palau's islands were created by a giant (think former Survivor Rupert, only bigger). He fell down, and when he toppled, people crawled out of his flesh. Yuck!
What Lies Beneath Divers from all over the world come to see Palau's beautiful coral reefs and Jellyfish Lake, where the colorful little buggers — isolated over time from their kin in the sea — have evolved into plantlike beings. They don't sting, but please, castaways, do not eat the jellyfish — they do not contain scrumptious jelly!
History Lessons The region was a battle site for American and Japanese troops during WWII. Sunken ships and fallen airplanes still litter the ocean and land. Says Probst, "These wrecks serve as backdrops for many of our challenges."
Civilization The Survivors are about a 45-minute boat ride (on a good day) from the modern conveniences of the capital of Koror, where luxurious resorts, karaoke bars and hamburger joints abound.
Feelin' Hot! Hot! Hot! Palau has a tropical year-round climate of approximately 82 degrees. The rainy season is July through October, but there is always sunshine. Sound good? Did we mention 82 percent humidity?
What's for Dinner? The contestants this time around shouldn't be wanting for food. The blue waters surrounding Palau are filled with many oceanic delicacies, including tuna. So, as the Palauans say: "Bo momengur!" ("Have something to eat!)
