i was hoping woo would as well...


i don't think toni is tough to beat though... he was a dick (and still is) to everyone...


if i were voting i would not vote for tony just because of the way he treated everyone
Yeah....that is that fine line of the social game. Some jurors can get past it and others can't. Sure bit Russel Hanz in the a$$ when he played. nod

I may be wrong but I think last week was the last week he could use the idols. He just told them that he could use the "special idol" this week so they won't vote for him, but I don't think he can use it. Did anyone else take it that way or am I wrong?
Did I miss it or what I thought he said ws that he has a special idol ( but he didn't tell them that he can use it after the votes were cast pretty much assuring he gets to the finals) Confused

I don't think tony is anyone's favorite, but the jury may vote for him because they perceive he played a great game. Anyway you look at it I think many agree that Tony is a douche.

I also think Woo would have rocked the game had he turned on Tony. I would like woo to win.

you can lie, blindside etc., you don't have to be a jerk about it. the interviews when they are away from others say a lot about their personalities.

i would put tony as a very good player, not great. he did awesome finding idols, he needed to, as he didn't win Immunity Challenges. his keen police instinct prob. saved him more than once, like when someone isn't acting themselves around camp he immediately noticed something was up. also his sneaking/hiding and hearing conversations. all make him a good player, it's how he treats people - he gets so nervous maybe it makes him act out?

he lacks the social game, just like Hantz - if both of them played together, they'd prob end up swinging fists. anger issues like his nephew Brandon?

I have always wondered if finding the idols is "rigged". Seems so easy for some players, almost like they have been given an unofficial tip ( makes for a more exciting game)

I disagree that tony is just like Russell Hantz. We didn't see Tony sabotaging his tribe (unlike Russell who burned socks, hid shoes, etc.) and I think behind the scenes, he played a good social game. He seems well liked by the jury and they will respect his hard play. He does seem paranoid and seems to overplay at times but I prefer that as compared to riding coattails. Russell was the perfect goat to take to the end which is why Natalie won that season. Tony is definitely not that

I agree that tony is not as bad as Russell Hantz from what we have seen in the game(s). However, if tony didn't find so many idols and not get his way like he has during most of this season, I don't doubt that he might've turned into a mini Hantz becoming more vicious
