RC claims to have wanted Lisa out from Day 1 because she knew this would happen. Why does RC think Lisa is such a smart player? Anyway, she wants to know from Michael if there was anything he should have told her on Day 19. Michael says that he thought Jonathan was going home, but he played his idol and the RC vote was a complete blindside. RC’s questions are all interspersed with her horse laugh. It’s like she’s one of Seinfeld’s exes.

Malcolm didn’t have questions before this started, but after hearing Lisa’s speech he threatens that he is “considering writing her name down tonight.” Whoa, extreme measures! He says to Denise that this appeasing has to stop and he wants to know how she played better than the others and why she deserves it more. In other words, this is really a gift question for Denise.

Denise’s answer is that she “listened and observed” and “some of that is appeasing”. But there’s “value to playing that social piece... value in listening” and she was playing the game every step of the way. She couldn’t not bring that into the game because it’s who she is and “that’s why I’m sitting here and you’re standing there.”

Malcolm notes that Denise got hung up on the word “appeasing” and re-asks the question. “How did you beat these two?” “By the strategy that I played,” is Denise’s answer. “I don’t think they played that kind of a strategic game.” Bad answer. Denise! Name a single strategic thing that you did on your own!

Jeff Kent’s turn. He says that all the jury share in the bitterness. He’s bitter too, but he claims he can handle it really well. Anyway, Jeff Kent has observed that there are three types of people – people who make things happen, people that watch things happen and people who wonder what the hell just happened. Which are you, Michael? Michael believes he makes things happen, because of one of his family mottos – do you want to watch the news or make the news? I’d be very, very worried any time Michael made the news. Michael talks about how his neck was on the chopping block while Lisa and Denise were not under threat.

Lisa, can you give Jeff Kent any examples of when she wasn’t in the middle? Or did you just float along like Denise? Lisa says she never floated in the middle, but she should have. She points out that she was the first to try and get rid of Malcolm and dopey old Pete effed it up big-time. But that’s Jeff Kent’s point, that she tried to make something happen and couldn’t, so she agreed with everyone else. Lisa replies that her plan was to keep Tandang strong, and that when the move against Malcolm did not materialize, she said to everyone at Tribal Council “go with Plan B. That’s not floating in the middle... That’s pretty vocal”. It’s also what caused Jeff Kent to get voted out. Thanks for the reminder, Lisa.

Abi claims that her “heart is broken” by being named the “most unlikable” by all three of them. Can you imagine going on a date with Abi and then not calling the next day? Lisa, why are you deserving? Lisa says that she was “true to the end with her alliance... until it disintegrated.” If that hadn’t happened, the two of them plus Artis and Pete would have been the final four.
