Week 12 and exit Peih-Gee, stage left!
She takes our friends Kathy and Mark out with her. Eleven of us remain as we wind down to Sunday's last show and our final pool winner. I'm so excited I can hardly stand myself.
Week 12 Survivor thoughts:
The remaining survivors trudged back to camp after voting off Erik the week before. Courtney is still carrying her torch like it's an anvil.
The rewards challenge for the week is an odd game where everyone has a handful of quarrels that they have to donate to the other players to participate in the challenge. The quarrels are loaded into 4th century crossbows and shot at targets with the player’s names. Everyone gets a few except Peih-Gee, who gets only one. From Courtney. How ironic that Courtney is the nice one. I don't think I'm ready to live in a world like this.
During the challenge Denise hits several of her marks leading Jeff to declare "Denise, you're sitting pretty!" Yup. Definitely a world I'm not ready for.
Todd steps up and nails virtually every one of his shots. I am now convinced that Todd is not an airline steward but actually an assassin. Now his threats to "totally kill Jean-Robert" seem to be a little less hollow. I'll have to keep my eye on the news. Prediction: Poker Player’s Eyes Scratches Out. No Suspects.
Denise wins the rewards challenge, thanks to some frighteningly awful shooting from Courtney, and gets to choose two people to join her on a trip to the Great Wall of China. Peih-Gee gets screwed again. I think Denise is off of her Christmas card list.
On the private jet to the rewards challenge site, Todd plays stewardess in the cabin. I'm not buyin' it, Mssr. Jackal.
Courtney chimes in with a Survivor hall of fame quote: "An angry Todd is a bad Todd." She knows the truth...
Peih-Gee explained that her time with Amanda has allowed her to get to know her better and to better understand the dynamic of "the team". Um. The dynamic is that they're going to vote you off.
The three return from the rewards trip to find Amanda and Peih-Gee missing. Todd worries because they were "really pissed" not to get to go along...I wonder if he thinks they decided to go home.
Courtney snorts "nice welcome!" Yeah. You should be greeted like a conquering hero. After the game is over I suspect she'll be disappointed if her hometown doesn’t throw her a parade.
The immunity challenge is a repeat of previous challenges:
Throwing stars
Eating crap
Bouncing balls on a drum
Heavy disk puzzle
Stars challenge: Todd did well on this previously. This time he falls apart and drops out in the first round.
Eating crap: Denise doesn't fail to disappoint. She still can't eat the bird fetus. The only thing missing was the blood-curdling scream before attempting to masticate her fowl. Denise goes down with barely a whimper.
Ball bouncing: Peih-Gee takes advantage of her second chance and actually finishes this challenge. Somewhere James is wincing. Courtney doesn't finish. I suspect her drum was weighted since it looks like she could barely cart it around.
Heavy disk puzzle: Courtney wouldn't have made it through this one anyway. Amanda and Courtney go at the ropes with machetes like they mean business. Amanda perseveres in the end, however, ending Peih-Gee's run.
Back at camp Todd takes up bitching about the lack of remaining rice. He accuses Amanda and Peih-Gee (the two who got screwed on the rewards challenge) of "going to town" on the rice while they were gone. Nice, Todd.
They spend the remainder of the show making it look like Denise and Amanda are going to flip on Todd. Not even close. I don't think Peih-Gee was even remotely surprised to be voted off.
Jeff spends some time inciting rage in the remaining contestants. He asks Courtney if, at this point in the game, she'd rather vote for people who deserve to be there or keep people around that she can beat. Has Jeff been watching this season? Courtney can't beat anyone!
Okay, those of you who put money on Courtney need to fess up. Did any of you expect she'd be one of the last four?
The last Survivor is this coming Sunday! I'll get the checks ready for us...er, you lucky winners!
Also, send along any thoughts you have for new rules for the next season.
The best part of losing Peih-Gee? I don’t have to keep checking the spelling of her name!

I think, like, last night, like, we could have had, like, a contest, like, to guess, like, how many times, like, Amanda would say, like, the word "like." Did it drive anyone else, like, crazy, besides me?
Yeah, I, like, totally agree! Like, Peih-Gee kept doing it, too.
I almost blogged something about it but, like, the whole word "like" has become such a, like, part of our mainstream culture of, like, noise words that people are so used to, like, hearing and stuff that I think we, like, totally ignore it. I don't like it.
Survivor finally won out over Thursday night football. I missed the two weeks prior, and my two favorite players James (because I just liked the dude) and Eric (because Carolyn and I had 5 bucks on him between us) were gone. I think Carolyn was glad Phie Gee got voted off, so she doesn't have to look at those ears anymore. I found myself rooting for her cause I like to root for the underdog.
Now that I have no more money in the game I think I'll root for Amanda. Only because she's the only one left that I don't mind looking at. I hope for the sake of Denise that next reward challenge will be for clothes that fit.
I think this is the first time that in the final four no one has any real physical ability. I'm surprised Courtney is still upright. Denise has no coordination to compliment her physical weakness. Todd and Amanda aren't too awful, but didn't get this far on physical merit.
