Survivor 11/28 - *SPOILERS*

[maryinaz]

Ugh! Can you believe that immunity challenge? That was definitely geared towards Abi. I fully believe they changed the challenge once they knew she had that advantage. They want to keep her around as long as possible because she makes people talk about the show (like me, like now ).

Sad to see Penner go, especially before HER. Poor Lisa, she sure is conflicted, huh? But she is right that Penner refused to choose a side when he had the chance. You can't go through that game very easily without having an alliance (unless your name is Sandra ).

Surely Abi will go next week. No way could she win immunity without help. I am so sick of listening to her talk!

Next week we get to see Lisa's cute son and I missed what was said about Malcolm's brother?

[MissKim]

Lisa is so different. She's loyal to her alliance, but she also feels this need to tell people they're getting voted out because she can't lie to them. She needs to learn that if she can't lie, she should just avoid that person until the vote. I'm not sure how her game play will be seen if/when she makes it to the finals.

And I have to wonder if Penner is going to tell the jury that Lisa was a child star. Can he? Can he call her on it at the final tribal council if she makes it that far?

[nikkiARNGwife]

Unnnhhh! I was so sad to see Penner go home!

And sick to my stomach to see Abi win that challenge. Ugh.

But a smart person now would take her to the end.

[Jenn Barrette]

I have never been this upset about a vote. I really liked Penner this season

[Tracyfish]

You could completely tell the way the show was edited that she was going to win that challenge before it happened and I was mad the whole time. She's such a whiny brat!

[BrattyMeg]

I think Malcolm brother said he looked like a criminal? I rewound it like 10 times and that's the only thing I could make out of it lol

A smart player WOULD take Abi but if the 4 that made a final 4 deal stay aligned I don't see any of them flipping and taking Abi

Was sad to see Penner go but no way after the auction anybody would vote out Carter lol

[Lyd]

I felt so bad for Carter at that auction. The others should have let him have something really cheap.

I was sad to see Penner go as well, and I'm still amazed at how (as Malcolm puts it) "not very self-aware" Abi is. Geez!

I follow Lisa on Twitter. She says that Carter also won a plate of food that wasn't shown (after the rice/beans, before the veal). It was edited out for time.

Oh - well that makes me feel better.

[YepBrook]

I rewound that part, too Meg. Both DH and I were completely stumped as to what he was saying.

I'm sad to see Penner go! I kind of had a little crush....

me too!! I was ripped they didnt let him get anything! I guess that is what editing does...it can really make us feel something happened when it didnt!!

I thought for sure that Denise was toast last night...I thought Malcom might toss her the idol and save her. Guess they didnt need it!

Sad to see Penner go but I dont think he would have won anyway.

Do you think anyone bought her "second part of the note" drama speech?

I don't think they changed it purposely once they knew it was her but I do think they planned a challenge anyone could win knowing whoever paid for the advantage in the food auction would likely be someone who needed it.

While I think it sucks that Abi got immunity and Penner went home, really they have no one to blame but themselves. Penner clearly knew how the food auction worked based on his reaction to the envelopes yet he didn't think it was important for any of their alliance to save their money for the advantage so Abi couldn't get it? It was the perfect example of people getting too comfortable and it biting them in ass.

I like Lisa but her whole "this game is too big for me" spiel is starting to get old. I get that she's conflicted about voting off a friend but she's also clearly playing the game. It's like the Survivor equivalent of "I don't want to be mean but..." and then saying something mean. I do think Penner made a mistake with not agreeing to a final 4 alliance but I also don't know that Lisa aligning with Denise & Malcom makes sense either. I think Malcom will be tough to beat.

bumping this..that guy next week is Lisa's BROTHER not son!!
