Lisa is way too nice to play a cutthroat game like
Survivor. Her decisions, which I originally attributed to strategy, are actually driven by an excessive need for approval, and kept the Evil Three in power long past the time that they should have been packed off to the Ponderosa. She was not in a mutually beneficial alliance; she was a plus one being used for her vote, which she was willing to trade for acceptance that she never got. She deserved better, but she really should have known better. Good people often make the worst Survivors.
Michael and his many injuries were a liability to the Tandang gang from the moment he was foisted on them. He is a returning player who has done next to nothing with his second chance except perpetuate the Evil Three alliance. The only good thing I can think of to say about him is that he was the vote that sent Artis to the jury. Too little. Way too late.
Carter looks very lost without his counterpart Butthead. Hopefully, he'll survive until the friends and family Reward Challenge so we can see the reunion.
Abi is not a Survivor. She is a certifiably crazy mean girl who employs emotional blackmail as a means to getting what she wants. Perceived slights result in threats, which often escalate to emotional bullying. She sat out most of the early challenges and wasn't picked to play the last one, which suggests that she hasn't gotten as far as she has by contributing anything and isn't well liked. If she makes it to the final Tribal Council, it will be due to the strategy of those wise enough to know that someone as loathsome as she is will not garner any votes.
I wonder if the nut house will issue her a weekend pass for the finale, or if her presence there will be courtesy of Skype.
