I, too, thought Shii Ann's winning of immunity was pretty impressive. Alicia's schoolmarmish warnings to her when she won would have prompted a stream of invective from me, because I thought Shii Ann's initial celebration was rather muted. Under the same circumstances, my celebration would have included a LOT more swearing, with prominent use of the word "motherfuckers."
I don't seem to recall Alicia being quite the Whine Queen in episodes past. She impressed me as an all-business, straight ahead person who pulled her weight and then some with the tribe, and didn't seem to be pissing anyone off. But last night, she was suddenly pissy and bitchy about incredibly trivial stuff, and in retrospect, her unanimous (well, 6-1, but you can't vote for yourself) ouster was being telegraphed.
If Tom, Rupert and Jenna don't decide to band together and do so tout de suite, they might as well start picking out where they'd like to sit in the jury box and formulating their questions before giving Amber the money. Rob doesn't have a chance of getting a vote from Lex, Kathy and now Alicia (we shook hands on a deal -- idiot), and there's no way he can engineer four more ousters without losing another vote. So by default, whoever's in the final against Rob wins.
