I'm glad that Abi won immunity, but the producers really need to take some notes from the Challenge. I'm sick of every immunity being who can untie knots the fastest.

They have to keep it fair for guys and girls--it limits their options. Also, the missions on the challenge have been far from good recently IMO. Abi winning was awesome because now we see who is really with who.

I want Penner out--I don't like returning players sticking around
Lisa's in a great spot for the game but she's not very good at all at this game--basically playing for third.
How much money, if any, do they get for 2nd & 3rd?

I don't hold issue with these returning players. Past winners are another story.

I can see that. I just think newbies are dumb if they allow returning players to stick around.

I think most people agree that $100,000 is the payout for second, but that can vary depending on the contestant and individual contracts based on the season. It's often quoted that the payout is $85,000 for third but I believe all these numbers are in constant motion.

Thanks--solid payday for both.
Penner had a good run. He was my guy this season and he did get through some close calls. Not sure who to pull for at this point. Anyone but Abby and Lisa, I suspect.

Oh wow. I had no idea about that. Now I know why some people are so content with playing a game to make the Final 3 but not have a shot at winning.

I'd like to see Denise win personally
I really like Lisa but I root for people based on game play so that rules her out
Damn if Mike would have voted with Penner then Penner would have won the game. He would have gone to the final 3 with Abi and Carter and won with a unanimous vote. Penner sealed his own fate when he voted for Abi on the night Jeff got voted off. I feel like none the players left are really deserving of winning-Malcom hasn't won any immunities, Lisa is one of the worst players of all time, Skupin hasn't done anything great, Abi is hated by everyone, and Carter just looks stoned all the time. I actually think Denise is the favorite right now.

Lisa doesn't have a chance in my opinion. She is there for the experience. She is not playing the game, she is constantly getting played. Skupin blew his chance when he left Penner as Penner would have taken him and Lisa. Now he is just waiting to be betrayed.
My guess is a Malcolm, Denise, Lisa finale with Malcolm as the unanimous winner. Another permutation would be Malcolm, Denise, Abi as Abi can't win but would provide a swing vote to get rid of Skupin. Malcolm still wins.
I have trouble seeing a scenario at this point where Malcolm doesn't win. Denise is a tough player, but she is clearly second in command when looking at the big picture and she isn't necessarily endearing or liked.
I think the Final few episodes are going to be very interesting. There are so many possibilities in play. You have an alliance of 4, which is really 2 alliances of 2, and 2 potential swing votes in Carter and Abi. There are so many possibilities that could happen. The real dark horse in my eyes in Carter. He is liked by everyone and is good at the immunity challenges. All it takes is for people to want to get rid of Abi next episode, and then Carter can be the swing vote for an alliance of 2 and make it to the Final 3.

I do agree that Carter and Abi could mix things up, but I don't see either winning.

This is why I'd get rid of Carter next if I was Malcolm, Denise, Lisa or Mike...he can be a problem if he reaches the final.
[QUOTE=Bacchus;327589]I do agree that Carter and Abi could mix things up, but I don't see either winning.[/QUOTE]
Abi's best case scenario is 2 votes if she makes the Final 3. I think Carter could win it because if you watch Ponderosa, there seems to be quite a bitter jury.
Based on his edit, I don't think Carter has a chance of winning at all. He's gotten so little airtime and has been kind of irrelevant, aside from his immunity wins. It'd be like Rick from South Pacific winning.
I think it will probably be Skupin who wins just because of his connections (Tandang will probably vote for him over Denise/Malcolm/Lisa), but I don't think Skupin's played a very impressive game...? *shrugs*
If I had my way, Denise or Lisa would win, just because I like Denise and her strategies and gameplay, and Lisa is just adorable.
