LET ME EXPLAIN TO YOU WHY YOU ARE WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING
Hence why Season 31 will be awesome. First all-returnee season since HvV!
It is kind of weird, though, that the season aired as 31 will actually be filmed AFTER the season which will be aired as 32.
So S31 will probably be called "Second Chances" and S32 will be called "Cambodia".

Welcome to my world. Except in my case its always been like that. Everytime the thread starts talking about past seasons I kind of have to just skip it all because I dont remember who the hell you guys are talking about most of the time.

The first several seasons I could remember every single cast member, and even their boot order. But now, if they haven't been on the show more than once, or weren't particularly memorable, they're out of my mind.

I'd rather see her again than someone like Angie "Cookies?" Layton. I was bummed that she got taken out when she did just because Missy hated her dad. From what little we saw of her, she seemed to get Survivor way better than more than half of the other people from 29.

I kind of have a bad feeling they're going to string us along all season with the "Rodeny flipping on Mike" thing and then they're going to end up being apart of a final three together.

I would be surprised if the blue collars marched through the season in unison and on top. There are a bunch of variables that make them a shaky looking squad who might not be able to maintain dominant position: Rodney's obvious volatility, Dan's complete lack of social skills, Mike's questionable strategic gameplay (throwing the challenge, voting out Joaq instead of Joe, having Will vote for Hali as a sign of trust), and Siera having been burned by those guys in the past. Carolyn, Tyler and Will all still seem very much up-for-grabs at this point as well. I agree with whoever posted that it was a good call for the no collars to vote out the sanest person on the tribe. They could stay intact for sure and pick off the no collars, but a lot could go wrong too.

I was a little surprised to see Will jump ship, but I guess it wasn't entirely unprecedented. He might've gone with Vince and Nina at the beginning of the season if it wasn't for Nina approaching him about his health.

Jenn is a total badass, and I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of moves she tries to make next week. However, I've noticed that she can be a bit abrasive socially. Her whole bit at TC making fun of the dramatic language people were using to describe the lines in the sand that were about to be drawn was great, but I feel like that's the sort of thing that could hurt her long-term if she makes it to the end.

It all comes down to those 3 floaters (Carolyn, Tyler, Will). I think they all basically made the right call because one would rather go to the end with anybody on blue collar rather than somebody like Jenn or Joe. Unfortunately, I'm wondering if Shirin's presence in the NC alliance will make it so Carolyn and Tyler just don't want to play with them.

Yeah. He said this season they're finally going to have a twist they've been considering for a long time. Said this is the right cast for it.

People have guessed at it possibly being like a vote canceling power, or a double vote power, something like that. Those are just unsupported guesses though. I'm surprised it hasn't come up on the show yet, at least in a hint, now that we're post merge. I feel like this is around the time the tree mail came out about the Tyler Perry idol on Cagayan.

I'm going to guess that it involves the jury, which should start getting members next week. Maybe the jury gets to eliminate a castaway or decide who makes it into the F3?

100x worse. if I were on a jury and a finalist was somebody who was out of the post-merge game for 5-6 votes I would go on a rant against that person winning. at least the outcasts in PI came in at like F12 or so.

Nah. They emphasized Rodney's conflict with Mike early on, so I don't think it'll take until FTC to resolve. Plus the bizarro alliance Rodney made got significant emphasis, despite not playing much of a role in anything besides Will's vote. I think what'll happen depends on who wins immunity next week. If it's Joe, I think Rodney will take the opportunity to make his BIG MOVE. If it's not Joe, Joe goes unless he finds the idol and bounces another member of the rival alliance (which would be hilarious).
The issue for Caroline and Tyler is definitely that there are more cracks in the blue alliance than the red, so that's where they'll be inclined to side unless there's a big change in tribal dynamics. Once one of the JoJeli is voted off, then they might be interested, but not before. And Shirin is a major sticking point. Tyler and Caroline are smart, but it's really challenging for people to put aside their differences with people they hate for the sake of a strategic advantage, especially when they're exhausted, hungry, and uncomfortable.
Lots of people are high on Hali for some reason, but I think she'll go down soon.

Also, I just realized Jenn has had a whopping NINE votes put on her so far. If she's voted out at the next tribal council, her vote total will probably be 16, just shy of the record held jointly by Ozzy and Phillip. If an idol gets played and she stays, but doesn't get to FTC, she'd break the record.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

FINALLY got a chance to watch this episode and it was awesome. Jenn is a star. Even if she gets booted in the next two weeks she has to be a lock for Favorites/All Stars. She was doing it on just being funny and fun but then a monster idol play should have cemented it.

I don't mind Will turning on No Collar that much. As said he knew fully well he was the odd man out of that tribe and it isn't the worst idea in the world to side with the majority and hope you just get left alone when they turn on each other. And it might have all worked out for him since he just "proved" himself to Mike so he could have just played his way into a Final 4/5 "he's not worth a vote" situation.

I really, really don't like Tyler and Carolyn siding with Blue. I just think that's stupid. There's no way I would have expected Blue to turn on each other before they broke up that pair. Considering they spent the whole episode talking about how they needed to stay distant and not tip everyone off to them being close and at the end of the episode they're both turning on a White Collar to be a minority pair in a majority alliance? That just strikes me as moronic. White Collar could have played with No Collar and decimated Blue and then flipped and taken out No. Maybe that wouldn't have worked perfectly but Carolyn and Tyler are now playing for the hope that Blue splinters before they decide to eliminate all threats. Which considering the Joakin/Rodney and Sierra/Lindsey votes seems to be their MO.

I think Tyler's an idiot in general and playing a terrible game but I was disappointed in Carolyn. She's really impressed me right up until that decision.

Next vote is huge, obviously. I don't think Jenn, Hali, Joe, and Shirin are hopeless. There's a lot of potential fallout there and I think Kelly was the right person to vote out. She was close to Carolyn and in that Carolyn/Tyler/Rodney/Kelly proposed alliance. She seemed to be the linchpin with Blue that they all got along with and kept things level. The Blue Collar guys could clash hard now as they scramble, Sierra could spook and finally flip like she's wanted to. I think Will's stuck with Mike and its best shot now. And at this stage Carolyn and Tyler might just have to take their chances with Blue since they burned Shirin and No Collar. So I'm worried for Joe/Jenn (don't like Hali). But I think there's a chance.

And I love the idea of a Second Chances, all returnees season. I've been wanting it all along.

Someone please explain to me why Jenn's idol play was that great. She got a feeling that she might be going home today and played the idol at the first tribal where there was a realistic chance she might go home. That's not a great play but not being James from China level retarded. No collar was lucky that the person who had the idol was also the person targeted.
