So, J'tia blew both puzzles AND dumped all the tribe's rice in the fire in THE FIRST SIX DAYS OF THE GAME, and didn't get voted out.

I hope they either rally behind J'Tia and win out on challenges or completely implode/the next episode starts with Spencer burning down the shelter and the brains tribe just goes all 120 Days of Sodom

Keep in mind that the brawn tribe seems to be nearly as dysfunctional, too. (well, not "nearly," because the Brains tribe is discovering new depths, but still significantly dysfunctional.)

Wow I completely forgot Garrett had the idol too - that makes this soooo much funnier

Edit: and that the whole reason he wanted everyone to talk out in the open was so he wouldn't have to play the idol (can't even follow this logic)

Oh my god, I forgot he had the idol. The guy with the idol who's the only strong guy on his tribe went over the bossy girl who hosed up two challenges and dumped all of their rice in the fire after they all told her she was being voted out.

This is, in all likelihood, the least probable thing that's ever happened on this show.

Just a reminder from the OP:

Garrett posted:

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole Survivor: Dedicated 2,000 hours in preparing for the strategic, social and physical elements of Survivor. Did everything from 50 hours of yoga, to over-analyzing every episode, to mastering slide puzzles to ready myself. I essentially devoted my entire life to preparing for this adventure for the previous 6 months.

If what we saw was the scope of Garrett's Survivor skills... he probably hid his HII back at camp in plain sight with a scribbled note attached that reads "Garrett's Hidden Immunity Idol"

I honestly can't remember a better premiere episode.

We had the cop standoff, #spyshack, ridiculous overplaying by David who's thinking day 39 on day 2, the Tasha freakout, RICE DUMPING and two blindsides that I still can't figure if they made the right decision because half the Brains tribe seems to have completely lost their mind.

Franchesqua going home first the second time was probably funnier but this episode was overall more insane.

In his defense, she burned all of their rice and lost them two challenges. That's a pretty good reason to feel confident.

Oh, by the way, I just want to apologize to everyone who called that J'Tia was completely insane. I had actually already forgotten about her "too bossy -> she realizes her mistakes, but is it too late?" one-hour storyline until just a second ago, because, you know.

The funny thing is Garrett was so focused on not letting anyone talk on the side but apparently somehow J'Tia or Tash managed to talk to Kass long enough to win her over after dumping out all the rice? What the gently caress

I think it was more how incredibly sketchy and untrustworthy he sounded at Tribal - he called out the alliance (still can't believe this) and basically blamed everything on Kass at one point

I don't think they necessarily talked to Kass, because Kass would've then had to consider the merits. She more likely just snapped and decided she hated Garrett more.

Yeah, I think Kass made up her mind when Garrett threw her under the bus just to look better to 1) the person who threw the rice in the fire who was going to be imminently voted out, and 2) the only other person on the tribe who wasn't part of their F3 pact. It'd be uncomfortable to go forward with a tribe/alliance where that guy was in control; at least with J'Tia in the game, there's (ostensibly) an "obvious boot" that shields you for another round.

That's the best part of this whole thing: even though it's loving insane, you can't definitively say it was the "wrong move," because Garrett played basically just as badly as the already-loathed woman who then went on to throw all of their food in the fire

But there was also everything that happened in between, and he watched her dodge a vote already. Either way, he should've never left it at camp.
