^I'd think that Sally would be a definate Terry and Bruce a definite Cirie. Never happened though so can't tell for sure.
I'm surprised it ranked this low. Must be 4 mighty moves ahead of it. Has the overthrowing of the Rotu shown up yet? Frankly, I think Cirie's move may have been the best strategic move in the show's history, so its hard to picture what is coming above it. That she managed to get every single person there thinking that she was voting with them, getting them to vote exactly how she wanted to get Courtney out with only 3 votes is something we never saw before, and likely will never see again.

So hopefully the third time's the charm. Without
further delay, here is number 5, and shock of all shockers, it's...
Now, let's get to the brilliance of this epic power shift. I think one of the reasons it was so amazing was because it was completely unprecedented. The
closest thing that probably ever happened in Survivor history was during the F9/F8 of Africa, but Brandon and Kim were retarded. But even then, I don't
think that would have been quite as much of a power shift as this. We all remember when Kathy and Rob made a secret alliance (and I guess you could give Rob
and honorable mention here because it probably would not have happened without him). After this point, they began to plant the idea of revolt in
Sean/Vee's heads, and seeing as all four were in the minority, it wasn't too difficult. However, Rob then got voted out, which left Kathy with the
task of convincing Paschal/Neleh to flip. This was an incredibly difficult option for two main reasons, I believe. First of all, at the time of Marquesas,
backstabbing people, especially an entire alliance, was still very much frowned upon, and it no doubt contributed to Neleh's eventual loss to Vecepia. And
sure enough, we would end up seeing later in the season that Paschal would not backstab Neleh even if it cost him the game (which it did), so gettng both of
them to backstab a whole alliance was pretty impressive. And second, Paschal and Sean didn't exactly like each other, and it took great effort on
Kathy's part and everyone else's to get them to work with each other for a common goal. In the end, it all worked out, and sure enough, the five who
were all but going home next became the final five.
