Chris Works Both Sides While Eliza Burns Yet Another Bridge - 
by J-Unit
While TVgasm is trying to secure some seats for this weekends live finale of Survivor: Vanuatu, our Survivors were still on the island, rapidly pissing each other off in the waning days of their seclusion. Although the alliance of Chris, Scout, Twila, and Eliza had worked well for two weeks, it was really the classic marriage of convenience. Twila and Scout had never voted for Eliza, but that doesn't mean they weren't annoyed by her continue presence. Likewise, Eliza knew that Julie and Chris were the only ones left in camp that had actually voted for her at a tribal council, but they ended up being the two people Eliza trusted most in the game.
Twila has been getting a testier every week, and the game really changed when she and Chris orchestrated Leann's removal. Since that moment, she has been getting progressively more difficult to live with, but not especially so until you mention her son. Twila swore on her son that she was still with the Ami game plan. Now even though Ami didn't believe Twila's promise, she constantly reminded Twila that she broke that promise from the time Leann left right through the time Ami was voted out. You would assume that would have been the end of things, but Eliza, whose constant talking has been her greatest throughout her stay, decided to pick up where Ami left off and remind Twila what she had done.
Eliza has done well in this game, she hasn't really been a power player, but she has made it through many tribal councils without getting voted off, which is all you can really do. She has also been one of the most easily manipulated players in the entire game, and has switched sides many times. Even though Ami wasn't able to convince Eliza to vote out Scout, she did convince Eliza that she was her best friend in the game, and has always looked out for her. So, Eliza had to carry on Ami's legacy, which in the final days was pissing off Twila. The problem is that Twila doesn't take a lot of shit, so she completely flipped out when everybody got back from tribal council. And I'm not talking about some little Howard Dean flipout, I am talking full on hellfire and brimstone Al Sharpton style flipout.
There was at least a small chance that Eliza would have stuck with her four person plan, but when Twila started going off the deep end, Eliza started rethinking things. Twila's episode was also the perfect opening for Julie to get herself back in the game. It wasn't that difficult at all for her to get Eliza on board, but Eliza wasn't going to do anything unless Julie was able to secure Chris's vote. Eliza also said she wasn't going to do any campaigning on her behalf. Chris and Julie always had a nice rapport, all she needed was some time alone with Chris away from Scout and Twila. If only there was a reward challenge that she could win and take Chris along with her. There is? Oh, Survivor, you are so very convenient.
