So good. End of Survivor, whitefonted for others: ~ The vote count ended up 4 Eddie, 3 Malcolm, and 3 Phillip, and Phillip was out. ~
I loved watching everyone scramble. It didn't even occur to me Malcolm would do that. And the truth is, even if he doesn't win, he's even more of a favorite now, plus he's adorable. He's going to have a career in TV as long as he wants, he bets, million dollars or not.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
As soon as they found the second idol, I was wondering if Malcolm would do that, just because all the promos all week have been touting THE TRIBAL COUNCIL NOBODY SAW COMING. But damn, that was well played. And lucky - I mean, if Eddie hadn't won at the IC and Malcolm hadn't found the second hidden idol they wouldn't have had a chance.

Whether it works for them long-term or not, it was a fantastic moment -- the looks on the faces of the other alliance were priceless.
Plus, the three of them have a good shot at winning immunity, as long as that lasts, and as long as it's a physical challenge.

I was wondering if they'd all switch votes to Shari, since she's at the bottom of the alliance. But she's so clearly at the bottom that I wonder if she'll end up being taken to the end by someone who thinks she'll be easy to beat.
Malcolm has a special place in my heart forever for the line "Phillip is the fun sponge at camp."

Malcolm has a special place in my heart for a lot of very shallow reasons, but that's a good one, too.
As much as I like him, though, and would love to see someone who actually dominated challenges win a season for once, I'm rooting for Cochran all the way.

I think the only misstep is that it looks like Malcolm actually could have kept his idol, which he was clearly trying to suss out at tribal, given Erik's vote for "fillup". But not a risk worth taking.
From the other side, I think sticking with the plan was clearly the way to go rather than turning on Shari (or Andrea, whut?), since it did pretty much force the idols to be played, and no one's that sad to see Phillip go in the first place.
