Scabby points out that English is not her first language and that she’s not seem as the most gentle.  Everyone cracks up and Jeff points that out to Scabby.

Denise chimes in to say she’s spent much of her life with people whose first language is not English and none of them are heinous bitches like Scabby.  I’m paraphrasing.  Scabby has never dealt with a situation like this before; she is very loved back home.  Especially her passion and feistiness.

Is that what they’re calling it these days???

I think Jeff is trying to make us feel sorry for her, but I don’t think there’s any chance of that happening at this point.  She made her bitchy bed and now she’s got to lay in the nasty sheets.  She then says she feels really bad because Lisa will not forgive her for doubting her.

Not the case, Lisa clarifies.  She says she does indeed forgive Scabby she just needs to be in an alliance with people who trust her (and don’t crap all over her each and every day).  Scabby doesn’t know how to explain herself; it doesn’t feel good, she says, and she’s holding back tears.

I think Juggs is holding back some laughter right now

Jeff wonders if Scabby is the perfect person to take to the end given that pretty much everyone can’t stand her.  Denise agrees that this is definitely a strategy that people have employed in the past, taking the unlikeable person to the end.  Easy win.

“Wow.  I never thought I was unlikeable.”

Delusional as well.

Even Jeff finds it hard to believe that Scabby had no idea she’s seen as unlikeable.  She had no idea that she’s that hated in the game.  Well then, she’s gonna be in for a real shocker once she gets home and googles herself.  Jeff refuses to SHUT UP about the cultural difference thing and it is as annoying as fuck.  A bitch is a bitch is a bitch no matter where you go in the world Jeffrey!  UGH.  Shut it.

Jeff goes back to Denise, saying she was just talking about wanting to play the game with “good people” (his words, not hers.)  He thinks she’s implying she’s a good person by saying that.  Denise clarifies by telling Jeff that she’s not saying she’s a good person, she’s just saying she doesn’t want to take a certain type of person to the end in order to get an easy win.  It’s like bringing someone to a poker game that’s never played poker.

They don’t have poker in Brazil OKAY?!?!?!?!?

Scabby says she has never had that much frustration directed toward her, ever.  Denise replies that it’s not hatred, it’s frustration.  She starts to bring up what happened when they returned from the reward challenge and Scabby tries to cut her off, but Denise insists on finishing her thought.  Denise points out that she was gloating, but Scabby insists she was sharing their experience.

Tomato, tomahto!  Not that I’m cooking them or anything!

    I brought this up in the minicap comments but I’m throwing it out there again. Why didn’t Abi vote for Pete once she realized they were going to split the vote? Then it’s 4 for Pete 3 for Abi and 1 for Malcom. Abi keeps her idol, Pete goes home. Then at the next vote she tells everyone she MIGHT play her idol. The 6 can’t risk voting for her and vote Lisa.

    Why oh why don’t people take advantage of having the idol???

    LOVED that Jeff called BS on awful Abi. Some people need to be hit over the head; she’s apparently one of them. I thrived.

    Jeff continuously pushing the cultural thing was so aggravating! I have a friend who is from Brazil, and didn’t move to the states until his late 20′s. And he is one of the nicest, friendliest people I have ever met. I get there are some cultural differences, but that doesn’t give an excuse to treat people badly. Abi is just a mean girl, plain and simple.

    3 things:
    1) I really wanted Malcolm to play his idol because I was worried for him. I said to the TV, “Malcolm, don’t risk it….play it!”
    AND
    2) Somebody asked Carter what he liked about the reward and Carter began to speak BUT THEN Scabby cut him off and talked more about what she liked. The camera stayed on Carter’s face after he was interrupted and in that moment I suddenly liked Carter much, much more.
    3) It’s time for SCABBY to go. Vote her out! Vote her out!

    Dilly: It’s because Abi’s an idiot. That’s why she’s becoming less and less fun to watch. I wouldn’t mind her being such a bitch if she seemed like she knew what she was doing. Still, it’s fun to watch her slow implosion — it’s kind of like the Wicked Witch in the Wizard of Oz…. I’m melting! I’m melting!

    I must have zoned out for some episodes because I don’t recall when Carter got into the main alliance…for some reason I thought he was with Scabby, et al. He’s a dufus but a wily one. I hope they all keep that in mind.

    My heart almost stopped – swear – when Malcolm didn’t play his idol. Thankfully he didn’t get the boot. I would have been soooo sad and annoyed. Malcolm, Denise and Penner (or even Lisa) for the final three!

    Does anyone remember when it was a final TWO? I think I may have liked that better, and I know I liked it better when they found out who won IN THE FOREST. Shit, was that only the first season? How effing cool was that very first season when the word “alliance” was virtually unheard of? Every
    person for themselves and a vote at the end for the BEST player, not the most popular. Sigh.

    This is a long-ass comment, oh well. Does anyone recall when the last chance to play a HII is?

    Okay, lastly (promise), although I absolutely believe some of Scabby’s issues really are “cultural”, I find it impossible to believe that not one person in her whole damn life has ever called her out for being a bitch. Puh-leeze.

    If these people don’t vote out Scabby this week, then they’re all dumb as a box of rocks and deserve to get kicked out themselves. And WTF is Jeff’s pity party for Scabby? If I was his wife, I’d be wondering that myself. Can’t wait to see RC and Scabby thrown together at the Ponderosa!

    I skipped to a new taping show when this was on, then forgot I didn’t see the end . . . sigh . . . but I’m kind of glad I missed that tribal!

    I’m still pulling for Denise! Amazing that Malcom and she are still in it! I guess I could say the same for Skupin and Penner.

    See ya, Mastermind!

    I think you have to play the idol before it gets to be Final Four.

    I, too, preferred a final two. It made the strategy much different.

    It’s been an interesting season – much better than I had suspected when it started. The “3 tribes” and “returning players” concept didn’t bode well. However, this season has broken a chain of seasons without very many smart players. And surprisingly, except for RC, Kent and Abi, they are not unlikeable. One bad thing about the 3 tribe concept is that some people (like Artis and Carter) got very little exposure so it’s really difficult to form any opinions about them. BTW, I think that Carter could screw up everyone’s “final six” plans as he can win individual immunities.

    As exciting as tribal council might be tonight, if Abi goes home (and Dilly I agree – she should have voted for Pete and saved her idol) the Ponderosa videos are going to be choice.

    It did, didn’t it, cattyfan. I don’t know why the final three thing came about. If [fried and unreliable] memory serves, isn’t the voting usually a blowout for one person?

    @Channel Dasher you are so right about it being a surprisingly good season with mostly likable peeps left…let’s hope those are the ones who actually get to the end.

    I too believe that Carter is the ‘sleeper’ of this season. He’s really good at challenges (when they’re physical) and it doesn’t appear that anyone dislikes him. Actually, it doesn’t appear that anyone thinks of him at all. I keep waiting for Jeff to ask him what his name is.

    He could go all the way depending on who else is in the Final 3. If it’s him and either Skupin or Penner, he’d beat them. And Mr.timgunnssister disagrees with me, but I suspect that Malcolm and Denise don’t stand a chance with this jury. That leaves (am I really saying this?) Scabby and Lisa. And I don’t think too many of them would give their vote to Scabby. So, Lisa? Really?

    Um, no. The world is simply not that cruel. Frankly, I’m not certain why she’s even still there. No gameplay, wishy washy and so very, very tortued. I don’t want to see people having emotional issues day in and day out – I want gameplay. And I’d love to see Denise take this.
