The guys trembled like a Leif, they tried to fight back and they failed. They're so owned by Kim & Co. there's officially no-way-out for them other than for Troyzan to win every immunity from now to the end.
It's been done before, it can happen again but I don't see it happening with him. It's always those NYPD fireman types who manage to do it. Right now Troyzan's running on fury but that can only take him so far.
I must say, I felt a small pang for him because he was such an underdog and an underdog always pulls at my heartstrings. Don't get me wrong sweet reader - I'm not saying I felt anything negative towards the girls - no-no, not at all but I did feel an "awwww" for him, particularly when he was looking for the idol and the girls were ragging and criticising him for doing it.
The feeling wasn't so overwhelming to put me on his side though, it lasted only an instant - which happened to Alicia and Christina too thankfully. I was worried they would flip on the girls - especially when Troyzan spoke to them because he was convincing - I see the two of them at the bottom of the girls pile too. Kat's denial of it at Tribal Council was obviously a lie ... when she said that outsiders don't know what the dynamics are between them.
This is my impression of the status amongst them with 1 = Most Status:
1. Kim
2. Chelsea
3. and 4. Interchangeable between Sabrina and Kat
5. Alicia
6. Christina
7. Tarzan - who's turned 100% Girl.
The feminisation of Tarzan didn't happen in one single moment but over time and he shows no signs of changing alliance. His behaviour at the Immunity challenge was unbelievably weird and suspicious-making - how could he possibly need $500 to fix his car if he's a plastic surgeon?!
Kim definitely got the best deal in that challenge with her peanut butter and shower. Again, things fell into place so easily for her and she continues to show no effort whatsoever. She also didn't overpay for her purchases - which I would have done.
When Jeff started the challenge and lifted the lid on the plate of doughnuts, I immediately called out $500 - thinking it would be the way to go. Spend big on something big to make sure you at least get something was my rationale. But there was plenty of other opportunity which I would have missed out on. But not Kim who makes the right decisions each time.
It was the right move to get rid of Leif too - he deserved it. He's hardly done a thing and his flip in allegiance was too little too late.
