Philippines: Ep 13

The finale is on Sunday! Amazingly, we ALL have 1 player left in the game. I don't think that's ever happened before! Even though some of us don't have a chance to win, it's nice to have someone to cheer for.

There are only 4 players left which confirms my suspicions of there only being 2 contestants who will enter Final Tribal. This will be very interesting because I don't think any of them suspect that yet. I may be wrong, but I feel like they usually do 2 immunity challenges in the finale along with the final tribal.

Power Rankings:

1. Giant Bloody Brazilian Cola - Ding dong, the Brazilian's gone! Previews for next week loook like they go into a euphoric hug-fest over Abi's departure. Maybe they're all drunk on sugar again! Moon doesn't have a lock on this contest quite yet, but he's darn close. If it does come down to a Final Two instead of Three, and Denise/Malcolm wins that final immunity, who do you think they would take, Lisa or Skupin? I think Skupin, which means it's a virtual lock on him making Final Tribal. That being said, it's Skupin, so there's always the potential for a med-evac.

2. Love Line: Old Balls & Tiaras - Denise & Malcolm may both be favored to win over Skupin & Lisa, but it will come down to the immunity challenge to determine which one of them gets there. I think Denise has what it takes to beat Malcolm, but he's a strong competitor, so it should be a great battle! She's seriously tough, though - that bite on her neck looked like it came from something the size of a small child. I can't believe she was able to wait out that allergic reaction; I doubt anyone else could have (except maybe Malcolm).

3. The Clap - Lisa's learning curve in this game is about two weeks behind all the other competitors. Scenarios that Malcolm & Penner had worked out by Day 12 are just now entering Lisa's head. Maybe there's an advantage to that, though. After all, she's still around!

4. I'm on Dregs! - I am super impressed by Malcolm's comeback in that immunity challenge. He flew through the puzzle at a record speed. I think it was the first time I've really seen him with his hair down too -- he a cool Mufasa impression going on! Hope he wears it down at the reunion show, I'd like to see it when it's clean.

Douche of the Week:

I'd like to give my DoW vote to the demon thing that bit Denise (how dare you bite my favorite player!) but since it's not in the pool, I guess I'll vote for Abi instead. I can't believe that she thought her fake immunity idol ploy was actually working. I wonder how much of her idiocy is part of her everyday self, and how much of it comes from being extremely hungry & tired.
