I don't know if it is strictly reporting. Note Sugar pulls away upset by Corrine's comment, and probably also got a question from Probst on this as well, "Sugar, is that hard to hear?" etc

I just thought it was funny... odd... that they highlighted this from Matty. I suppose you could say it was reporting, but wouldn't just editing in the
second part "it doesn't matter to me" be sufficient... why include the whole bit??

Just heard from my booki...ah, financial consultant in Vegas, and the odds ar 543-1 against it, but a great payoff otherwise, that during the recap Probst will
say, "And with Marcus gone, it will take a miracle for Edgic to survive."

Exciting week | ||
|
I tried to read as many Edgic posts as I could this week, but didn't have time to reply.
To me it was always Marcus - I was 100% convinced. Now I think it's a true toss-up between Kenny and Matty. I was convinced by both cl and OTH, so I really can't make up my mind... we'll see how tonight's episode goes. This season has become so exciting! |

Same here TID. I have been going back and forth between Matty and Ken since Marcus left the game. Recently I gave Matty the edge but tonight's episode
could change all that. I wonder... is it bad for Ken's chances of winning to show him so much in the previews saying he's going to win, etc.? I
don't think a winner has ever been pushed in ourt faces in previews like that, not even Tom.

you know...
i find the cheese burger thing interesting.... but a little weird. I prefer the MORD because everyone's vote is accounted for there and Close Calls do get accounted for in the math. The cheeseburger is based on the final ratings, and for someone like Randy...who is constantly a close call, i think that some important info gets lost. but no denying... ken does look good (But i still think Matty is tied into the theme better) |

You guys are hilarious.
I'm glad you are all taking Marcus' departure so well. I was kind of expecting a mass Edgic suicide when I saw him get the boot last week. Let's cheer for a interesting season!! Tricky editors - hummph Kenny - Marcus, Kenny - Marcus There have been good arguments for both Kenny and Marcus but I think we've seen more character development from Kenny. Marcus mostly fills the cute, strong guy role and I don't remember learning much about him other than the one episode where he allied with Ace. Randy is a great character but I don't think he's winning, primarily because of his wild swings in tone. I mostly just lurk here but I've read enough over the last few years that I think I can safely pick Kenny for the win. But Matty can stick around for the eye-candy factor. Yummy! |

The remaining 25% have been lame and said, "I knew Marcus wouldn't win all along." BUT I feel like post-season we will be able to reflect and improve edgic by seeing where we went wrong with Marcus. I'm so excited for tonight's episode. |

Jeff's personal promo said that there is a Merger at the IC challenge (like in Africa).
I think Matty relates to the themes and is a guy we are to root for, but he is very in your face; hardly hidden. Matty could be the hero that can't. Kenny's all around a way better pick, but I do have my concerns with this blatant "I could win" from Kenny in the promos... it'll be tricky because, with Fang being the doubt (and the winner most likely coming from Fang), the winner isn't going to get much doubt in the merger. I'm looking for an Earl/Yul type edit now. Both were underdogs, in a sense (from their original tribes). |

Important to note: now the recap changes its tune: "Things are looking pretty good for the underdogs," and instead of bashing Fang, Probst called
Kenny and Crystal's move "clever."

Remember how Parvati got credit in the previews for stuff Cirie did? Well Kenny just got credited for what we saw Crystal do. Either the editors are racist and
sexist, Crystal will not win. My only concern with Ken is that his edit is becomign increasingly arrogant..

We were shown Kenny talking to Sugar (when we know it was Crystal in the shelter) and Ken talking to Crystal (when we know it was Crystal doing the talking)
and Kenny getting the confessional. Crystals 100% eliminated anyways so I guess doesn't matter, but I guess this supports Kenny's case.
