AMAI... ever since I played a game of Risk when everyone threw a challenge in favor of one player to kick my ass is when I'm wholly anti-throwing challenges.

So... don't call me blind, sir.

How do you throw a challenge (battle) in Risk? Don't you just roll dice to see who loses armies? How can you throw a dice roll?

Throwing challenges to get rid of someone in your original tribe (ala Thai, PI, Cooks), I'm very against.

Throwing challenges to get rid of the enemy (ala China and what the guys should've done in Vanuatu) I think is strategically necessary. That is if you're...

I wouldn't go that far, OC. I think 027huds makes an excellent point. In this situation, it was being done for a strategical reason. The investment in the original alliance was deemed of more value than the possible chance of hooking up with one of the newcomers. Had for example both newcomers felt themselves to be outcasts in the other tribe, perhaps the desire to throw the challenge would have been harder to justify in ZH's own minds. With James declaring his main allegiance to the...

Hi Dave. Thanks for having the guts to show up here. I for one hated the way the throwing of the challenge was done/edited and I hated this twist about as much as I hated Fiji's luxury/poverty twist seeing that it was mostly unfair and unnecessary. It should be interesting to see how this plays out and I hope you at least got a decent trip out of it to make up for the loss of financial and material gain. That said, I'm rooting for Todd because I believe he's one of the few this...

The fact is that every season of Survivor has new people, new dynamics and a new game. What was a bad move in other seasons could turn out to be a good move in this season because there are no set consequences as they change each season. The consequences of a strategy depend on everything else that happens in the season and how people react. IMO it's impossible to predict exactly how a move will eefect the players and the consequences of a move. Just because throwing a challenge...

Im not anti challenge throwing. I think if its the best move to make to better your position in the game then you take it. That goes for throwing challenges and anything else

I agree with that. It's starting to piss me off that Jeff is constantly exposing what players are doing. If James and Aaron are too stupid to figure out what's going on, they deserve everything they get. I understand it's better TV for Jeff to do what he does but he changes the game.

If JEFF didnt ask so much, James still not sure what had happened.
If JAMES fight back and zhan hu's girl voted out next round, JEFF must bear the responibility to reveal the strategy to underdog, even the chance is very slim.

good point! I didnt even think of that. It also looks like todd could flip on just about anyone. lets hope for something exciting!

The bottom line is who will Todd/Courtney swing with. They are the ones to watch who could change the game.
