Metropolis posted:I get why they voted Rocker off. Like other people said, he's unreliable. He was literally telling the person they were trying to blindside what they were doing. Not something you want on your team if you want to make it to the end. He's decent in challenges, but not actually amazing. I don't think there's anybody they could have voted off that would have significantly *increased* their chances of winning challenges. You're right. They're better off with Baylor in challenges. Getting Pagonged isn't the end of literally all of their shot at the million, right? That's how it works?

Pagonging is a lot less likely in blood vs water because of all the relationships going into the merge that people normally don't have in other seasons.

A beefy meathead is far from a golden ticket to challenge wins. Case in point, the very tribe that just voted off a beefy meathead.

Met posted:You're right. They're better off with Baylor in challenges. Getting Pagonged isn't the end of literally all of their shot at the million, right? That's how it works? This has come up the past few seasons whenever the losing tribe decides to shake things up and vote out a stronger guy early on (Brad Culpepper, Garrett, now Rocker). People like Rocker are an asset in challenges only in very specific circumstances, and it's not uncommon for their big size to be a disadvantage. He was useful in climbing the walls in week 1 and throwing the ball in week 3, but actively lost them both the reward and immunity challenges in week 2. If the tribe is losing most challenges with Rocker anyway, then his biggest supposed value isn't all that useful anyway. It's not like they have to vote off less members if they come CLOSE to winning every challenge. And if he really was sucking as much energy from the tribe as some of the confessionals indicated, booting him might actually help challenge performance. Note that the last two seasons, the losing tribe WON their first immunity challenge right after voting out Culpepper / Garrett, even though both of those challenge had big physical components. The other thing to consider is that, historically speakings, Pagongings are much more likely when tribes enter the merge at similar numbers rather than with lopsided numbers (post-merge spoilers for recent seasons: compare 19, 25, and 28 with 22, 23, and 24). In some sense, it's an advantage to go into the merge with a very small, loyal, dependable core and try to take advantage of the turmoil and inner-conflict within the winning tribe. If each tribe has been to enough Tribal Councils to vote out it's inner minority alliance, there's no room to flip at the merge and a Pagonging is much more likely.

I don't know how they decided on the order of pairs to go first, if it was selected or some random draw, but having your weakest pair go first, and thus get to play 2 out of 5 matches, while your stronger/strongest pair goes last and plays only 1 of 5 matches is a sure fire way to end up at tribal council.

There are more matches then we are shown on TV so that editors have more exciting matches to pick from when airing the show. The actual number of "points" to win the challenges are rarely what we are told. You have to pay attention to when Jeff is actually talking on screen and when Jeff's voice-over is telling the rules to the viewers.

Seriously, what a bunch of idiots. Of course the flint is most likely in the fire pit. That's where you use it. I knew it turn up in the pit when they said they lost it.

You know why no one else wants to do those things dude? Because they're incredibly incredibly dumb. Btw has he told his tribe he's the "leader" yet?

It's pretty lovely to applaud John getting voted out. Not because of him, but because one of your tribemates is going to be very sad and you're just ignoring that.

More than a lot of other challenges, I'm curious how many attempts they cut out. Using this little catapult seems like it'd be drat near impossible, but they got the hang of it fast.

Should shoot for the hardest one first, that way you can shoot 5 in a row without having to run back and forth a million times.

I was gonna say they couldn't be the worst tribe ever, but I think even Ulong won reward challenges. is this now 6/7 losses?
