Russell is there because of the idols, just as much as Monica is there because Russell Swan was evacuated.

You know what's REALLY hilarious?
Monica's entire edit last night was all like "I'm going to tell people about everything that has happened!!!!!" to Russell......when Dave probably already filled everyone in on what's going on. So basically when she gets to the Ponderosa, she's like "Guys! Do you know what Russell did??" and everyone is like "shut up and bring us something to drink, Consuela!" Fuck off, useless bitch! And why hasn't Oowatanite come back to defend his retarded lass? Has he not been dismissed from high school yet? |

I appreciate the controversy and the conflict. However Monica's approach seems to be fatally flawed. She tells Russell she is going to poison the jury
house against him so no one will vote for him. She then makes a half hearted attempt to to get Russell voted out. WTF??? So basically she's saying
she'll insure if he goes to the end he won't get any votes, then she's trying to get the others to get rid of him. Oh Monica, Monica, Monica. You
simple little girl.
Her scrambling seemed for naught though. I thought she should have targeted Shambo hard. Paint her as the ultimate jury threat (one thing is for sure, and that is that Shambo is the biggest goat in Survivor history. No way she gets any votes. Just hope that people believe she will get votes.) The key player at this point is the 5th person, who will be the swing vote in the Foa Foa 4 when we get down to final 5. That's the only safe position IMO. |

Monica. <3 I will love her forever for what she said at TC. <3
Other than that she was pretty useless. |

Had she gotten everyone to wake up and evict Russell - someone who can beat any of them in the end - she would have something to brag about and be praised
about. But she didn't tell anyone anything they didn't already know. It's not knowledge these folk were lacking, but balls.

I love how people are getting their balls twisted in this thread.
The purpose of this thread ISN'T to highlight Monica's amazing strategic mind and gameplay throughout the entire season.. It was to appreciate the fact that she said something about Russell that some posters agree with (i.e. me). I couldn't stand the bitch all season, but I LOVED that she said this at TC last night. <3 |

Then you guys are idiots because she pointed out the obvious and anyone who has been watching for more than 1/2 an ep could have pointed them out.
But then again, what are we to expect from people cheering on Galu? |

I don't understand the criticism. Saying someone is still in the game because they used a HII is like saying "You're still in this game because
you formed an effective alliance!" or "You're still in this game because you're pleasant and hard-working!" It makes no sense.
What was irritating last night was Monica's smug look. She pissed off Russell -- big fucking deal. That's like being proud of convincing Shambo to do something stupid or being proud of making John act cocky or being proud that you got Laura to act like a bitch. What's easier than making Russell angry? |

Yea, seriously... Like them or not, everyone has to accept that the idols are a part of Survivor now, and a key factor in playing Survivor has always been
adaptability. If you can't adapt to the rules of the idol and play accordingly, then your game isn't good enough. And Monica had just as much of an
opportunity to find the idols as Russell did. They were all at camp, not exile and Russell only ever got one clue (but he didn't need clues for the first
two). People who claim the game is rigged would probably be the same people who can't adapt to the idols being a part of the game.
Yea, Russell got to the final 6 (soon to be final 5) because of idols, good for him. This is where Monica got without idols:
If Monica were the one finding idols every round, she'd be worshipped. |

Even if she sucked, at least she made a good TC, better than just letting people vote you off.

clearly monica's time spent sunbathing instead of looking for idols paid off for her. russell found two with out clues.. and a third with one clue. last
time I checked she had the opportunity to find two of the three russell found, but was too busy being a lazy dumbass.
what a moron. |

When did Monica say this? I can't believe I missed such an awesome, TRUE line! |

Oowatanite wrote: That's not what she said, she thought something was up because according to her, she looked for the idol at the bridge, and because she didn't find it and Russell did, she thought something was fishy. We have no idea of whether Laura was their before Russell or after, or even where she looked. Perhaps she just stood there waiting for a sign from God. I know that may not sound good to the conspiracy theorists, but IF CBS manipulated the HIIs in any way and got found out, it would be the end of Survivor period. The fallout would be just as bad as the game show fixes in the 1950s. |
