Not really sure what other spoilers are out there, but I assumed Ben went far because Probst praised him as a huge character. Reading Betsy's (and to a
lesser extent Mike, since he liked Ben while in the game), she praises Ben, saying he's a great guy with a good heart, but needs to grow up ... sounds like
she got to bond with him in LL, because she certainly didn't show this love whilst in this game.

In an interview with BuddyTV.
http://www.buddytv.com/ar...ew-with-betsy-31471.aspx _____________________ Q: Ben or Russell. Who is the worst offender? A: Russell. Ben actually has a heart and soul where Russell doesn't seem to. _____________________ |

I got the same impression - she said she loves Ben. She also talked about Yasmin and how she is full of herself so maybe she was in LL with her too for her to
get to know her better. She also mentioned how Russell had his puppets and mentioned the - 3 - girls as Liz, Natalie and Ashley. I think Ben and Yasmin
definitely spend time with Betsy in LL. She and Mike both mentioned how hard Russell was playing the game right from the minute he got to camp, even a little
before. Mike praised him for his moves. Betsy did not know anything about the idol and if he can play it or not so Russell was not in LL or he would have told
EVERYONE about the idol and if they axed it from him or let him do something with it. Russell is jury bound folks!

NotHungry wrote:How interesting. This does seem to imply some loser lodge bonding. I wonder how much... From a psychological point of view, she seems to be responding to Ben's transparency. What you see is what you get, even if it's borderline sociopathic. Fascinating that someone's transparently poor character is of less concern to a police officer than someone's impersonal, duplicitous game play. I guess that's what losing at Survivor will do to you. |

It also bodes well for Jaison, given that she didn't know about the idol.

I agree that we can't look into this too much but I deffinately think that there are som LL hints about Ben and Yasmin
and where did you read about the 3 girl puppet comment? I couldn't find it in the interview but if she said it with a little distatse that could bode well for all 3 of them

There's in-show support for Ben leaving soon, even if it didn't happen in time to save Betsy in Ep2. Last week's ads had Mick saying "I
don't think he has many friends left" (which in the show, was about Ben), but from the context of the ad, it looked like he was talking Russell.
Similarly, people seem to be jumping to the conclusion that Jaison takes on Russell in the next episode based on the preview, but I'm pretty sure Jaison is
actually "raising an army" to take on Ben. When Ben made his "Outlaw, baby!" crack after getting thrown out of the IC, they showed Jaison
turning in disgust and spitting.

Remember once they showed Kota doing yoga they started getting the short end of the stick. But I agree that Jaison's not out for Russell cause he knows that he has something there its Ben who he's skeptical with |

Marisa is rooting for Betsy =/= Betsy makes the jury, especially since nowadays the entire cast knows the outcome, and sometimes even the winner. Ben did not bond with Betsy while in the game, so unless they randomly decided to hang out (being on opposite sides of the country and opposite personalities) outside the game, her comments would be surprising. |

Yeah going from "The only thing i'm not gonna miss is Ben and his attitude, he really needs to grow up", which were her
final words, to "I love Ben, he has a great heart" screams LL bonding to me.

Betsy was most likely told to say that Russell has no heart. That's what we are supposed to
feel this season.

Considering how we saw her physically recoil from Russell in that same episode, it's fairly safe to say that she had considerably warmer feelings towards Ben even while she was still in the game. Does this mean they didn't bond some more in loser lodge? No. But does this mean she liked Ben enough in the game to say he had "heart and soul" even if she didn't spend any time with him loser lodge? Maybe. |

Another thing working against Ben is that CBS has been hyping Russell as this season's "villain" (and also one of the best ones yet) and not him,
and considering Ben is definitely a nasty person/villain, I do think he doesn't make it very far. However, since Probst mentioned Ben as a "big"
character, I do believe he'll stick around for at least two or three more episodes, even though Probst hyped Sandy and she was the 4th one out.
Either way, things aren't looking good for him. |

Well Mike and Betsy both sound like they spent time with Ben at LL and they didn\'t know if Russell screwed over Jaison or not. So both Jaison and Russell
are jury bound.

JT4ever wrote:Because a single shot of Betsy laughing with Ben is evidence that she bonded with Ben? Perhaps she was LYING to him by laughing, trying to cover up the fact that she was trying to gun him down to stay. You are one annoying little fucker that thinks he knows everything and is critical on everyone. At least have some credibility to back yourself up with before you start flapping your gums. |
