Five are left. Who will be voted out tonight?
The show opened on the 30th night at the Gitanos camp as we head towards the Final Four and the finale. Shane, as we could have predicted, was very upset that the voting plan changed and it was Courtney voted out during the last Tribal Council. He wanted her with him in the Final Two as many others did, too. Except for Cirie, that is. She's playing it shrewd and getting her way. Cirie tried to cover with Shane by saying it was a last minute change and they couldn't get the news to him. Now, if he believes that, he's dumber than all get out!
Terry, though, in good spirits about his winning streak, feels that Danielle lied to him. After all, the plan was Danielle, Courtney, and Terry at the end with the vote to oust Aras. That is, until Cirie convinced Aras and Danielle to vote with her against Courtney. Terry should give up the idea of gaining allies. Cirie seems to be much more effective at rallying the tribe for a cause. Lone Wolf Terry isn't a part of the pack.
The Rewards Challenge was the loved ones from home genre with a new twist. Jeff brought out family members of the tribe mates — Terry's wife, Shane's son, Cirie's husband, Danielle's Mom, and Aras' Mom. The winner of a "past challenges combined" obstacle course had to make some decisions. Two loved ones would go for an overnight trip with their respective tribe members. Another loved one would go back to camp overnight. One loved one would just get a hug from the tribe member.
One tribe member would be sent to Exile Island and not be allowed to even touch the loved one. It was all up to the winner. And, as it's almost fated to be this season, Terry won. He and his wife and Shane with his son Boston took the overnight trip. H.B. (Honey Bunny? Eek!), Cirie's husband, spent the night at camp. Aras got a hug from his Mom. Danielle went to Exile Island. I personally thought his choices were just right. Even though I don't care for Shane, his young son was there. How could he have made any other choice?

Just one other thing to mention. Terry clearly understood which way the wind was blowing with his vote for Arras. It was the sort of thing which - if the vote had been revealed would have allowed Terry to say that he hadn't broken his promise to Shane but wanted to put a vote on Arras in case there was a tie and it was a most previous votes tie-breaker.

I think it's all going to come down to Cirie and Terry as the final two. Cirie would likely win on a "niceness" vote, while Terry could win on the "ultimate strategist" angle.

Jooan - The two players originally from New Jersey where only the strong survive! Actually, I think that would be a worthy final two. I think the niceness factor will be burnt as the jury members realize it was Cirie's scheming which got a lot of them booted. But I don't know if that would be enough to make the jury vote for the LaMina representative Terry.

"I think it's all going to come down to Cirie and Terry as the final two. Cirie would likely win on a "niceness" vote, while Terry could win on the "ultimate strategist" angle."
This is why Terry is an idiot. He should NOT hold a grudge against Danielle, because if he could take her to the final two he is a no-brainer to win.
Cirie will get the poor black mom with 3 kids sympathy vote, and Terry will lose to Cirie.
In the final 4 round, that is the LAST TIME you can use the immunity idol. Thus, if Terry can win immunity again, the Idol is a waste...UNLESS YOU GIVE IT TO DANIELLE.
Then Terry and Danielle vote Cirie, Cirie is out, leaving Terry, Danielle, and Aras. Assuming Terry can win another immunity, he can take Danielle to the finals and get an easy win.
I know Terry keeps winning immunities and that's good, but his strategy is weak. He should know at this point his only sure win in the finals is against Danielle.

Or Terry can make the final 3 Terry, Danielle, and Cirie, Terry can easily win the final immunity challenge, and send Cirie packing so he can have the easy win.
