So Tai just blew up his game trying to save the person that he was trying to get taken out and she still got booted

Also I get that he's not somebody they want to align with closely, but letting him in on that plan would have made things go a lot more smoothly

I mean Tai does kind of have an issue here, but he's not bringing it up.

He's obviously not great at the social part of the game, but at the same time he might have understood if someone had told him that they had to tell Sandra/Varner a name and since he was 'returning' to the group he was the obvious choice as a name they would buy.

Ozzy coulda spun that to Verner that that's what they told Tai just to make him feel safe.
In fact Tai should think it's Sandra going home, and it's weird that they got mad at him saying that.

But holy poo poo what was he doing at tribal? I've never seen a bigger case of someone shooting themselves in the foot

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

The Queen is dead. All hail the Queen.

I actually finished that episode with a smile on the face. I mean, Sandra basically got a memorial episode complete with a Tribal ovation. That bit where Ozzy, Andrea, and Lady Cop had to remind themselves not to believe her because she's so good was pretty perfect. Lady Cop summed up Sandra perfectly. She doesn't push, she makes sense, she "grooms." And she really did just about everything she could have done to try and turn that around and I was thinking she might have pulled it off (with Tai's help, of course). Zeke looked like he was going to poo poo his pants when Sandra started talking in Tribal.

I mean, theoretically she could have tried to turn Thai and have him us an idol but not knowing he had idols or where he'd go that probably wasn't a feasible move with Sandra's knowledge.

I'm sad but it was a fun run and its a fun season.

Thai's a paranoid, silly fool not made for this game, but his instincts weren't wrong at all. He was clearly being boxed out by his tribe and has every reason to worry about his position. Certainly he holds a lot of the responsibility for that by being so flighty but he is the guy who handed over an idol to his tribe just a couple of days earlier and before that voted off his close ally. So gently caress it, just play crazy, Thai. At least its fun to watch you make people pee their pants.

I look forward to Debbie joining the Survivor tradition of blowing the double vote advantage.

I kind of don't like doing two swaps this frequently; it seems to kind of increase the odds someone gets hosed by random chance

On the other hand the Blue tribe probably would have just kept losing if they didn't do anything, so I guess this keeps things a little fresher

I think the reason they do so many swaps so frequently is to really make it impossible for some solid majority alliance to form that will run through the game. To that end I like it. Yeah, it means people are going to get screwed and two of my favorites have gotten screwed by twists this season despite being in good positions before hand, but that's Survivor. Ultimately I like the big picture idea of making sure the pre-merge status gets shaken up enough to assure no pagongings.

Although the frequent swaps do annoy me a lot of the time, they're actually good for the reason you stated, and also even better on returning player seasons for loving with any pre-island alliances that may have been formed.

Yeah, I don't think what we saw on screen, particularly everything to do with Tai, especially his Tribal shenanigans, had much to do with the reality of what actually went down in that tribe during the days that episode was filmed. I'm pretty sure Tai was in on everything with his alliance, especially since he wrote Sandra's name, and also didn't even seem like he was considering playing an idol, even though his was the name being publicly spoken as who to vote for by the alliance he was "betraying" at tribal

Honestly, gently caress the producers for wasting an entire segment of the episode with Cockring and Debbie on a boat instead of focusing on the actual game parts. We probably could have got more of what went down at the tribal and the post immunity then what we got because they had to have Debbie and Cockring have their moment.
