It would have been interesting to risk the PROD, knowing that there was only a 1/7 chance, and at least you would go down in history as the first to go out that way before the F4 (the way it was "meant" to happen).

Yeah, I'm sure everybody out there, especially recruited mactors, is so concerned with becoming a random forgotten Survivor trivia statistic that they're willing to risk their games for the unbelievable honor.

Does John think anyone on Galu is going to vote for him if he makes the jury now?

Well, he's certainly more likely by changing his vote in the re-vote rather than turning against them outright. At least now he can say wanted to stick with them, but the threat of leaving due to random chance was too great an intimidation (not to mention that his ass was on the line thanks to their plan).

I wonder if anyone can tell me how the PROD was fucked up the season Pashcal got the boot? I can only recall that it seems it was done wrong at that point? Or shouldn't have been done at all?

According to Probst, what the producers hadn't realized before it happened in Marquesas was that if a tie happened at F4 and the PROD was the tiebreaker, there would be only one person picking a rock (since the Immunity holder and the two vote-getters would be immune). They realized this fact once the tie actually came up, and of course they couldn't just send someone home by default, so they had to change the format at the last second and let everyone except the necklace-wearer draw the rock. It wasn't the way it was supposed to be done, so it goes down in history as a production mistake, a case of them not planning correctly. I mean, they didn't have an alternative, but they hadn't fully thought it out for whatever reason. Once they realized their mistake, they implemented the new F4 tie-breaking formula to prevent future F4 rock-draws.

Anywho, I knew the second Russell didn't play his idol that we weren't going to see a tie (because if Russell knew he was safe, that meant John assuaged his fears enough), but I was still hoping against hope that we'd see the rock make its comeback. 7 people drawing rocks would have been epic and crazy and suspenseful and awesome. Oh well.

Oh, and everyone on Galu is responsible for it failing. John may have put the last nail in the coffin with his vote tonight, but he was forced into the situation. Galu was stupid to put his ass on the line without even telling him. If they wanted to take the risk needed to propel themselves into a majority, they should have put one of their more solid, included members on the line. Don't do the guy who's not present and who you secretly mistrust anyway. That was stupid. As was telecasting who you'd be voting for with an idol floating around. As was turning on your tribe member at the last second without sitting down to figure out where things really stood. As was alienating Shambo, and voting out your obnoxious black chick before her despite the fact that you're dominating challenges. They're all responsible.
