Tribal Council! Jeff begins with a not-so-subtle question about whether you can trust people based on previous appearances on the show. Jonathan takes it as a personal attack, because he was the one who was painted as a sneaky guy (even though he wasn't, at all), and pretty soon he's going at it with Cirie again. He tells Jeff (and Cirie) that he thinks Cirie is using this as an excuse to get rid of someone who she considers to be threatening (i.e.,Yau-Man), and she responds by personally attacking his honesty, again. I don't really understand why she keeps doing that. I wish she would go back to being cool, because I don't really like this version of Cirie. Then she's like "I don't have mind control over everybody here, so y'all vote how you want", which is a stupid thing to say when you've been trying to make everyone bend to your will. If this continues, I may have to start liking James, and no one wants that.
Time to vote! Cirie votes for Yau-Man, of course. When Jeff goes to count the votes, there is one for Cirie (which turns out to have been from Ami, of all people), and then two for Parvati and the remainder for Yau-Man. So, he is done, and way too early for my liking.
And that is the story of how Cirie made my brain collapse.

I'm with you, I don't get why they all just didn't turn around and vote Cirie's butt out. I don't think I could take anymore of her after all that. And tonight's looks like it's more of her blabbing away.
I'm rooting for Ozzy or Amanda. I can't even remember the Fans names except Joel and Kathy. I think the Fans/Faves concept was cool, but I'd rather be watching the Faves the whole time.

LOL, schoonie. My brain collapsed a little too.
WTF is up with everyone trying to pull these big power plays in such early days? Cirie = dumb, Joel = dumb, all of the favorites = dumb for not voting out Cirie, and Kathy = dumb for not finding the idol. At least Kathy has the legitimate excuse of being batshit crazy, so she gets a pass from me for now. :D

"Seriously, the editing is so off here. You, guys, don't talk about this with Ami right there. THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE!"
That is perhaps the best line you've ever uttered in a recap. And btw -AMEN!
We miss you in chat Schoonie - I miss my Enhanced Survivor Experience!

I spent the entire post-immunity challenge discussion screaming at the TV: "Just vote out Cirie!"
Seriously, could they have picked a dumber set of "Favorites?"

Kickass recap Schoonie! Amen to why the hell there wasn't a general rebellion against Cirie by both alliances! Why would you want this one person wielding all that power and lording it over you? Maybe it was the editing, but I can't believe Jonathan and Yau didn't/couldn't try to convince the couples to get rid of Cirie.

Once Cirie started running her mouth I smugly turned to my husband and said, "Rad, they're totally going to vote her out." Have these Favorites learned nothing from previous Survivors? If someone is walking around saying they are the swing vote and acting cocky about it, you cut the bullshit and vote that person out. Just like they did to that chick Dolly a couple seasons back. People with the swing vote think they have all the power and you've got to chop that off at the knees.

What kind of a whack job is Cirie to deny us Yau-man? I hate her.
