1 - Ethan. 2 - Brendan because my soft spot for him is enormous and I really think he had a good chance of winning. 3 - Fairplay.

I like Ethan but I LOVE Tracy so I'm throwing her a vote. Tracy. Not a huge fan of either but I'll go with Amber since I think she's overhated for her Allstar game. lol Fairplay for SURE

1. Ethan obviously. 2. Amber. I kind of want to vote for Brendan, but winning All-Stars has to earn you something doesn't it? 3. Fairplay and it's not even close.

Match #1: I go Ethan. I feel like he played in essence the same game he did in Africa, but unfortunately got paired with people in these unique circumstances who were bound and determined to get the winners out early. To his credit he lasted much longer than expected, but then he got Lex'd. I think Lex is a big reason I love him so much in All-Stars. He goes out with class in the face of Lex's hypocrisy, and then Lex makes himself look horrible immediately after.
Match #2: I go with Brendan because of everyone who was eliminated early-ish in the game (first jury member), I want him to get a second chance more than any other. I loved his personality, loved his ideas, and his only fault was in execution of his plan. The exile alliance he was a part of was a phenomenal idea, but once the merge came he just chose to assume that everyone was still on board, when Taj and Stephen really needed reassurance. He tried to take out the biggest personality in the game and was beaten. That's always a 50/50 risk.
I do want to say this about Amber though. My favorite part of going back to watch all the seasons of Amazing Race I had missed was seeing how good of a gamer Amber actually is. All-Stars is Rob's season, and rightfully so, but it's clear from watching her performances on her two Amazing Race seasons that she knows what she's doing and she contributed to Rob's game more than we were ever let in on. I have more respect for her victory in All-Stars having watched her and Rob work together on AR. Rob still should have won, but my outrage over his loss isn't as extreme anymore.
Match #3: As others have said this is Jonny's match up and it isn't close. Jon is a Survivor legend and he's maybe the best heel Survivor has ever seen. Unlike someone like Russell he actually does get the social game and as the years have gone by more people on that Pearl Islands jury have said that if Lill had taken Jon instead of Sandra, he may have in fact beaten her.

And with that so far we have:
4-1 Ethan. 3-2 Brendan. 5-0 Fairplay and Jon advances.

OK it's been 2 days. Ethan is officially advancing with his 4-1 victory. Unless Amber gets a vote to tie this match up in the next 24 hours, Brendan will advance. If Brendan gets one more vote before then, he'll advance. If Amber ties it, both will advance for a three way match later.

I'll just change my vote for Brendan. It was a close call for me anyway.

Okay, then with that Ethan, Brendan, and Fairplay all advance.
If Sawyer doesn't post any new match ups before tomorrow around noon or so, I'll have at least a couple up in the afternoon.

These matches are like torture for me. I don't think I like (or at least care about) a single person.
1 - JT 2 - Todd 3 - Kenny

1. JT 2. Todd 3. Kenny
The third match-up was the only hard one for me as I didn't particularly feel strongly one way or the other. I liked Kenny at first but by the end of his run I started to turn against him.

1. Kelly G - I liked JT in Tocatins but really only for Stephen's sake, and Kelly G was hilariously bitchy in Africa and totally robbed by Lex 2. Todd I guess, I dislike both personally but respect both as characters, but I also respect Todd as a player so that tips the scale 3. Kenny for sure, his last two or so episodes were a little bit bad but not enough for me to turn on my early season love for him and Jenny was just there

k same as before with Amber and Brendan. I'll leave this one open until 11 PM tonight. If before then, J.T. gets a vote he'll move on automatically. If no one votes before then, J.T. moves on. If Kelly gets a vote before then and no one comes back and votes for J.T. to tie it, they move on to make their 3rd round match a three way.

I'll vote JT, cause he managed to win again the awesome Fish Bach, somehow.
