I bet that CBS thinks it's great television. It was - the first time it happened. If every TC devolves into this, though, it negates the entire previous hour of the show and renders it pointless. Why am I going to bother watching the whole episode if it's just going to be resolved in 45 seconds of inaudible whispering?

1. Yes, Natalie has worked hard, but she has been able to do it stress free this entire time. It's not fair that she has had exponentially more time with the jury than whoever the other final 2 would be.

Stress free on a scoop of rice a day? Fighting for tokens? I don't know but they're all past winners. They are going to respect what Tony or Sarah has accomplished as much as what Natalie endured. At least that's what I'm thinking. At the same time, Let's say someone like Yul, gets back in. He has split time. I find it hard to believe they would vote Yul over someone like Tony. Reverse it though. I could see how they could vote Natalie over Michelle or Nick and I would be OK with it in that situation. It's a season of winners. I think the jury will be objective.

I think they just want more face time with their "celebrity" contestants. It will probably change in the future.

*** oh the whispering, yeah it's kind of annoying.

Yeah, 3 advantages, and 2 idols, but they would only let her keep 1 so she gave one to Tyson.

I don't know that the whispering is ever going to go away, hard to put that cat back in the bag. It is annoying though, no doubt.

I still think it's slim chances that a returnee wins, but it definitely depends on who returns and who else is in the final 3.

Stress free as far as strategizing and being worried about getting voted out. I'm not trying to say it's been easy being on EoE, but she's only been doing 1 of the 3 tenets of the game. I guess there is some outwit/outplay involved in what she does with her tokens and advantages, but it is minimal.

If Natalie gets back in and wins, this will go from a top 5 season to a bottom 5 season.

I don't want her to win but if she gets back in, she has a pretty good chance.

Agree on the going from top 5 to bottom 5. Would be like a good movie with a crappy ending.

Nick really screwed up voting Jeremy instead of Ben. To me it was obvious what he should have done.
Tony deserves to win at this point, but I’m good with anybody but Sarah.

I'm pulling for Tony. Michelle and Ben are my bottom 2.

Nick voting for Jeremy really made no sense. He screwed himself badly.

Sarah ignoring Michele's thoughts was crazy. She thinks her game stands up to Tony's. Let that sink in for a moment. I was fine with her until this episode but only because I thought she'd dump Tony when she had the chance.

Nick must have thought he was in good with either Tony/Sarah or Tony/Ben. It's crazy that everyone in the final 7 except Michele has felt like Tony had their back.

Tony has absolutely dominated this season so far. If he doesn't win, I'm not sure who is the next most deserving? Denise? She knocked out Sandra and has two individual immunity wins.

Michele won the last immunity challenge, but hasn't done much otherwise. Sarah seems to have ridden Tony's coattails the whole way. Ben doesn't seem like he's done much and isn't well liked.

At the end, they showed the EOE challenge, and it looked like Yul, Wendell, Natalie, and Parvati all had an advantage. I'm assuming that Natalie would have two additional advantages after what they showed. With how she's played Extinction, I would think she would have a chance to win it all if she made it back in. I agree that would drop down this season on my all-time list.

If Sarah makes the big move and takes out Tony, then she might have a shot. If she's with Tony, no chance.

Finale night is here. My prediction is Tony wins tonight.

At this point, anyone other than Tony winning would be a bit of a letdown.

I think Denise has the second best chance, if she can get rid of Tony... then she took down Sandra (which is overrated, but still gets her a lot of credit with the jury) and Tony.

After her, Sarah, but again she's got to be the one to take down Tony, and I don't know that she has it in her. They've each stabbed each other in the back on their previous seasons and I don't feel like either is willing to this time.

Ben I feel like has ridden the coattails too long and isn't very well liked, but if it's him, Michele, and a returnee he has a chance depending on who returns.

Michele, she'd have to come on really strong and take down Tony, Denise, and Sarah... a few big moves here at the end that the jury can see and she can pass up Ben. Again it depends on who returns.

Agreed but I think taking Sandra out was huge. So damn glad the "Queen" got blindsided like she did. Pure stupidity on her part for giving up her idol.

Denise has been laying low since the Sandra takedown other than winning a few immunities, but I think that's smart on her part. She still has to go for Tony at some point to have a chance.

I wonder if the players in the game have the same sense of who is "winning" that we do watching? They can't hear the jury reactions to Tony's moves. I think Sarah and Denise and even Ben might genuinely think they can win at the end. Michele seems to be the only one that knows it's all Tony.

I do agree with you. If she was to orchestrate getting rid of Tony, she absolutely would deserve to win.

They can't be that dense to not see what all Tony has been doing. You never know though with the jury.

I definitely think if there is one person who takes Tony out, they would probably move towards the top of the most-deserving list. I think it will probably be a group effort if he goes out, and no one will be able to claim it.

Whoever comes back from EOE will have to tell the group what they've heard about Tony running the game and push everyone towards that vote.

I'm still rooting for Tony.
