That’s interesting! I was wondering, with friends on different teams, whether they could just pass an idol back and forth to whoever loses the immunity challenge until someone finally needs to play it. A single idol could potentially save a lot of skins.
That’s a good point! Apart from Jordie being a number, will George really care if he’s gone? I think Liz and Shonee were more personally invested when it came to Jordie. I really hope Liz makes it to merge. I thought George and Hayley would join forces at that stage, but she seems so entrenched with the OG Heroes, I just want to see the Spice Girls Reunion Tour. I think George and Shonee could work their powers of persuasion, and get people voting off the Meat Guys. I really think next time the Heroes are at Tribal, they should get rid of Flick. She seems to be a much bigger threat than Ben.
"Just stand there in your beige budgie smugglers, we don't need you to talk"
I LOLed at the bit where Simon mimed puling a cookie idol out of his arse...
I hope it's Simon.
I wouldn't have told them anything!
I actually liked that episode. I am glad that Jordie got voted out with an idol. What a complete tool.
He lost any sympathy I had for him when he sided with George. George the snake actually did something I liked and that was to spill the beans on how Jordie stabbed Simon in the back on multiple occasions... So, nothing lost when his name was read out.
He had the perfect plan, by using two idols to get one of the Heroes meat tray boys out - & then he improved on that by showing the girls both their idols and giving them the choice. If they had have stuck to their plan and used their idols then they would have had Sam out & they would have had Nina & who ever else having to vote with them - so come next tribal, they would have already had some possibility of creating a new voting block.
But, Jordie was greedy. He wanted too much. The implications of which are now decimating for both him (obviously) & Liz, she has only one tribal to save herself with & then she is gone. & yes, like many have said, what a selfish player he was, he didn't even give Liz the idol ... & it wasn't even his really, he didn't actually find it. It was given to him by others to help both him & Liz ... Yet when the shit hits the fan, he keeps it.
Liz should have also whispered to him during the revote, it can't save you now - give it to me..
That cemented it for me, how much I dislike him - he flipped on 'his best mate' to a snake who then laughed when he ratted him out.. & he selfishly keeps an idol when he knows he is about to be voted out.. He is a tosspot & glad to see him OOOOT...
And most importantly, I hate GEORGE... OMG, I almost muted the TV tonight, I can't stand listening to him saying how fabulous he is non stop... Oh please - whem is the Tall Poppy Syndrome gunna kick in & kick himin the teethout the door. So, we cant have George lovers remaining in the game, they must be exterminated, like the cockroach... & Jordie was a self confessed George Lover, so Fuck Off....
I like David Brent! Haha! I can’t recall the sexist comments from Simon…maybe that’s for the best. I’m sure he’s having the sexist stuffing knocked out of him by the strong female players like Hayley, Liz and Shonee! George is also guilty on that score, he called Mimi “sweetheart” in a really condescending derogatory way when she dared to challenge The King, which was disappointing behaviour from someone who should know better. I always wonder how the early evictees would be performing if still in the game, like Mimi and Anjali. It’s a pity we’ll never know.
News.ciom.au article about idol swaps
From what has been said online by various contestants and Shannon on twitter, between S4 and S5 the rule came about where you could pass an idol to someone right before your torch was snuffed (like Kez did to Flick in S6). Then before S7 (blood vs water/last season) the rule was changed back. Now a player cannot pass an idol to someone once the votes have begun being read. By the time Jordie realised he was being blindsided it was too late to give it to Liz. It's not allowed to be passed during initial vote reading, tie voting or anything thereafter. Once Jonathan says he is going to read the votes the only way an idol can be passed on is if the person holding it is not voted out. Otherwise, the idol is as good as an old prop.
I hate George as you know.. But I also realise that in this cast of nobody's - the show would be somewhat pedestrian without George stirring the pot.
