Yeah, I agree Amanda.
I was sitting there thinking the whole time that she should have let him split and just flipped. That, or while she was campaigning to Dawn I was like "You're letting too many people in when you don't need to."
Corinne unfortunately ruined it for herself when she had it sealed. She would have been a finalist for sure I think had she just kept her mouth shut.
And I like the foreshadowing with Dawn. Great episode I thought, but yes, sucky end result. I want Phillip and Andrea to die so badly!!

Based on Edits, Sherri and Michael have an off chance. Reynold is kind of getting the Malcolm edit from last season. reynold getting the malcolm edit from last season??? ABSOLUTELY NO! Malcolm was a golden boy last season and Reynold is a total douche. Reynold is not even complex character, he's just camerawhore. Is that not exactly what Malcolm was? The camera whore that tried to focus everything on him? I see know difference but Malcolm fans tend to disagree. Corinne leaving was sad. But better then my boy Phil |

Malcolm had the storyline of teaching kids in Micronesia. He also had some colorful, relatable comments like comparing Abi to a Dementor. That and Reynold seems to have a bigger ego (or Malcolm is simply more playful with his).
Aside from all of that, they are mostly being portrayed similarly. But those three things I listed are what make Malcolm far more popular with women in particular.

Malcolm is much more likable than Reynold, Cochran is getting a major winner edit here I think!

I gotta say, that was a very interesting vote.
Malcolm correctly picked up on it and played it extremely brilliantly. He managed to play Reynold's idol and 100% disguise his own... that's rather amazing, really.
Yeah, he voted for Reynold, but he can easily lie that it was Michael. That's not hard to do. And Dawn quitting next week will change everything, since she's the one that lies to people and reports everything they're doing - she did to Wholia, Corrine, and Malcolm in consecutive episodes. I won't miss her much, she's nothing but a sheep obeying the Sheppard.
This season is bound to be a royal mess no matter what. It's a big improvement from the awfulness of the first few episodes, but I still have one major problem: WHY ISN'T BRENDA GETTING AIRTIME? She won immunity for crying out loud and... she's not even going to get a confessional squealing cutely about it? Really guys, WE WANT TO SEE MORE BRENDA!
'tis all for now.

Brenda... omg...
I think the editors have a reason to overshadow her. Maybe she is linked to the winner of this season in a way that it shows our winner in negative light. It makes sense I think...
Also this episode was brilliantly edited, except the part where Brenda doesn't get a confessional.

She won immunity for crying out loud and... she's not even going to get a confessional squealing cutely about it? Really guys, WE WANT TO SEE MORE BRENDA! 'tis all for now. I'd have to disagree. I don't think Malcolm did anything correct at that TC. Phillip's warning was clear. If you're thinking of making a move...you're going to get busted and cost yourself the game. What'd Malcolm do? He asked for the idol, which means he confirmed his stance with the Faves. With that 1 move he confirmed to them all that he IS wanting to swap it up. The fact Reynold gave it up told a HUGE amount about where Malcolm stands with them as well. That action called himself out. He made a move. He's now publicly busted...and I see him going home within 2 votes. Lying about how he voted makes no sense.l They know he didn't vote Michael because they know the 7 of them did that and they know none of the Fans would've. Not that it matters because it doesn't really affect the game in the slightest how he voted. I also find it interesting you think Dawn is a sheep to Phillip. o.O Are we watching the same game here? LOL Most of the big moves made so far are because DAWN decided that way. Phillip hasn't called a single vote yet. If she quits though...any respect I have for her will drop. Fully agree on Brenda not getting airtime. What the fuck is up with that? MORE BRENDA!  |

What I meant was Malcolm can lie that Michael voted for Reynold. Nobody will be there to challenge that.
Malcolm does have a huge target on his back now, I do agree. But he honestly was set up to believe that he was being voted out, so what he did could have potentially saved him had Michael not been the actual target. Given the way they set him up, there was no way they were going to keep him around anyway. They KNEW already that he was trying something. He was either 8th with them or potentially fracturing that alliance. It was worth a shot, and if Andrea hadn't changed the plan, she'd be gone and the alliance would be at war with itself. It was worth the risk, I think.
Malcolm can win challenges and play his idol. I can see him lasting more than two more votes, provided the cards fall right. If he can win a key challenge and idol out Andrea, plus with Dawn quitting next round, he can easily manage to pull something off. But... a lot has to happen perfectly right. I'm guessing it won't, and Malcolm will get 8th.
Dawn has run to Phillip and Cochran every time someone has said something to her. She's playing a good game, but she's blindly loyal to someone that is a big threat to her. Given how unstable she can be, she needs to be in the end with people that she can beat. That's not going to happen, though, since she appears to be quitting...

Dawn is playing truly outstanding game, she's just mentally unstable.

That's not going to happen, though, since she appears to be quitting... Yeah but lying about how he voted would be stupid. Michael won't be there to contest it, but it just wouldn't make any sense to say that cause then he'd be saying he was a vote for Andrea...which would only put him in hotter water. lol Of course he was set up to believe he was leaving. They were flushing him out and he fell for it.  The smartest thing Malcolm could've done was to sit there and pretend it was a threat for someone else. Obviously though, nobody would do that. xD It was a tricky situation. I don't think Malcolm would've been 8th if the Faves stayed together. Erik & Brenda aren't solidified with anyone at this point and as was pointed out...the 2 biggest targets are Phillip & Andrea for appearing to be the leaders of the group. Could've easily waited a bit longer and put it in people's heads they were too much a threat for the end game stages. Don't get me wrong...I don't think he would've gotten finale with the Faves, but not 8th IMO. I also agree him trying to make a move against the Faves is smart. I just think they keep trusting the wrong people with information (aka Dawn). I'll cash in a bet. Malcolm will go home 10th or 9th Place now. Make a dare in my confessional. If I'm wrong and I'm still in this game...I'll do it no matter what it is. xD |

Okay, true that. Lying that Michael did it would alienate Malcolm from the Faves even further, which Reynold could use against him. I concede your point. I didn't do the math right... my error. Do you think you would be uncomfortable in Malcolm's shoes? Based on what was said, he was a target. Yes, now he's an even bigger one, but the vote was originally on his back. He made a safe assumption. He tried to save himself and get the fracture he wanted which would turn the game upside-down. That didn't go well, obviously. You're on.  |

I really don't know what I would've done in his shoes. I only mean that looking on the outside, you can see where the smartest thing for him to of done would've been to pretend it was meant for someone else like he was still 100%. But obviously we're privy to information and view points he's not. ^.^ Make it a juicy dare! Hehe. |

Malcolm is definitely the target now, but no one knows he has an idol. This could lead to a big blindside next round, cause even if Stealth R Us, try to split the vote can they really trust everyone?  |
