those dicks really made me think it was jason going home, not just with the reading of jason's votes first but also because just after the fourth of his votes are read, it cuts to Cirie and she looks dissapointed, in a kind of "damn, cudda got rid of ozzy" way.

also, the best shot of tribal council is amanda's reaction to the second ozzy vote....the sheer look of "that's wierd....OH SHIT!" proof that this was truly the best blindside ever!!

I think the actual reason why it was so suspenseful is that for once you weren't sure if everyone was voting with their alliance. Most of the time it's like oh these two people said they were going to vote for Ozzy say, and then there's like 2 people who you're not sure about but then you see that third vote and so you can usually figure that there's a fourth vote and so on. I don't know if that makes sense to anyone else ... but yeah I think the editors just did a...

They can't rearrange the votes in the event of an idol because it's played after the votes are rearranged by Probst.

Jeff also made that mistake in Borneo with Gretchen's boot at F10. She was booted 4-1-1-1-1-1-1, but 3 of the 4 Gretchen votes were the last 3 read. I was happy with the way they organized the votes this time. I was pretty mad when it was 4-1 and...

The first votes Jeff shows are almost always the same votes that are shown on television when the person is voting. I always notice the handwriting and look for clues that way, and they are rare. I never thought about it before this, but that means they are usually making a good guess as to which voters they will show on t.v. Maybe they do actually watch the footage.

That's also possible. They didn't do that when Yau used the idol though.

Another time they arranged the votes this way was F7 in Vanuatu, when Eliza had 3 and Leann had 1, then the rest were Leann.

in that 30 minutes they probably roll back the tape to see who wrote what vote. If the votes between Jason and Ozzy they'll try to pull their votes first, etc.

Plus with this vote, HAD Ozzy played the idol I think Jeff may have read them Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy....Jason, Jason...Bye bye Jason. So he may have had piles or something, lol

I think it was in one of the DVD commentaries that he goes in the back to get the votes and stays back there for a long time. The contestants on the commentary said it's like a half hour. There's probably a whole discussion by the producers about the most dramatic order.

I think they did a great job this time...reminded me of the Edgardo boot (except I say that one coming). This one caught me off guard because I didn't trust Parvati to go through with it.

I think what the topic creator is trying to say is that the way the votes were ordered, it looked like Jason was going.

The way Jeff pulled them out, being 4-1 for Jason, it seemed obvious Jason was toast. I was pleasantly surprised.
