We are in that weird "between the top 10 and 20" spot in the mini season where things seem to stretch out forever and there are still various scenarios on how things could play out.  Given how unpredictable things have been, in the game and in life, there is no telling what the result is going to be.  I can look at say I have a good idea... but then next week could prove me completely wrong! 

Like this week, if you told me that two favorites would be leaving I'd nod and say "Well, yeah... of course..." 

If you had told me that one of them was going to sacrifice IN HER ENTRY I would have been shocked... or that the other would send me a message letting me know that regardless of the result of the poll, that her plan was to also sacrifice - to save spots for other people to move one step ahead.... yeah, I think I would have said you were joking. 

But that's what happened. 

This week we lose two amazing writers and top-notch human beings... and serious contenders to have taken the crown in any season they participate in. Which means the possible outcomes have opened up a little bit in an unexpected way. Or maybe narrowed to certain outcomes.  (depending on how cynical I'm feeling at the moment.  :D)   

Seriously though, these two are going to be missed and considering how tight their Survivor "alliance" was, it certainly isn't a surprise that once again they are making the same moves!! 

Goodbye to the great bleodswean  and murielle plan on kicking it for it's transgressions!!  Thank you so much for fighting through it though and being able to stay involved as long as you did! I hope that you are able to home game, or at very least will stick around to cheer on your favorites!
