It's gonna be a bummer if this is the obvious Joe boot, but I dunno what other direction it could plausibly go in barring some sort of weird Ben/Lauren change of heart

Thats not strategy thats quick thinking. I mean discussing the vote and stuff. But I guess now that alliances are set, its just a matter of a 30 second convo between the majority on who they want out

Joe should suggest that Ben was never in the Marines and it is a cover for the fact that he is a millionaire already

Joe trolling Ben about swearing on the Marines owns so hard, and viewers are going to be so mad about it.

Yeah the tribals are the least interesting part of this season, since barely anyone is playing the game, or playing very simplistically

Still think this is a solidly average to slightly above-average season, but it could hit a rough patch if it's gonna be a pagonging into a Ben/Lauren/Ryan/Chrissy/Devon endgame.

I only really dislike Ryan, but it's definitely far from my favorite combination of players left in the game and a pretty obvious final grouping at this point

Midnightghoul posted:

This is part of why I like this season - it's a nice change of pace after the past few seasons of hardcore overplaying. Even as the editors use more deliberate misdirection to hide the boot, it's easier to follow than a lot of recent gameplay

Yeah I think I miscounted, kind of odd that nobody seemed to notice they were a vote short. Maybe Joe, he looked like he was confused about something between the first vote and the tiebreaker voting. Though that could have been the eight votes against him and Desi?

I currently dont like Ryan, Ben, and Joe the rest are just kind of meh. I guess rooting for Mike.

Cole voting Joe is just weird to me in that situation. Why did he flip at all? It doesn't not make him the top boot still.

I'm really surprised at how much I've chilled out on Joe since earlier in the season. His idol play last week was almost adorably stupid, and his cute little personality's been dialed back a few notches. The lack of food and sleep may have had something to do with that.

Preview: :lol::lol::lol: Oh, Ryan...

Seems like Mike filled him in on his intention to flip and thought, at the very least, it might buy Cole another 3 days if he flips too. The leftover healers were kinda divided into Mike/Cole + Desi/Joe duos

Well if nothing else Joe showed how easy it can be to provoke Ben. The next ep focusing on Ryan letting that slip makes me think it will turn out to be less of a big deal than it was made to look.

Seriously it's this. I laughed out loud multiple times during the episode, some of the visual gags were great. I loved Lauren nudging a blank parchment off the table on the revote. I need a gif of this.

They might have also been tighter with Desi than Joe and trying to push the vote away from her?

The strangest thing was Desi voting for Lauren, what the hell?????
