S18 Chips Contest Week 13 call for entries

This thread is the call for entries for the Chips Contest leading up to the thirteenth episode of "Survivor: Tocantins". Entries must be posted by 2:00pm ET on Thursday, May 14, 2009. To play, simply reply to this thread.

Debbie seemed like a sure bet to get at least to the F4. She had the strategy, she came in with the numbers, and of course, the "spoiker" that she was sighted in an IC we'll see in next Sunday's finale. That turned out to be a red herring that cost six players some chips. For some, it wasn't substantial, but for alienhiker...hide the jumbo shrimp, Madam! You'll have company at the buffet as soon as alienhiker turns in his card for the season.

Still, the reasons mentioned above are why the house put 4:1 odds on her being voted out tonight. We're also taking blood tests on whoever figured Eddie George at 5:1. Seriously, what I thought they would have done is show each survivor his/her clip, then let them bid on the chance to see their loved ones. I wasn't aware they found a way to get all six to see their loved ones. And 5:1 was a lucky number as Stephen got 0 TC votes the easy way--the house didn't figure he'd win immunity. Two odds-on bets are winners, though, since we figured that since every previous individual IC was won by a former Timbira, the Jalapao three were due, and now they're in a position to pagong the Timbiras. Now who wishes they had taken that bet when they had the chance? ;-)

Sure enough, the house had to make the leaderboard a few characters wider (which they absolutely hate). D-W sextipled up (quiet, doob) his available chips, shawn got the breathing room he was hoping for, and B.N., who got his bets in with three minutes to spare, almost missed out on a 4,000-chip payday. Mrs. Clean overcame a loss of 6,000 chips on Erinn getting voted out to pass the 20,000-chip mark--IIRC, that's where she was at this point in Gabon, and we remember what happened the following week. But even so, she's no longer the chip leader. doob's all-in bet on the retired running back scored about three NFL seasons worth of points--over 33,000 on just that one wager! He's now over 40,000 chips and with 10 days to go, he could buy the casino at season's end.

Or at least buy his own rye melba rounds.
