I was under the mistaken impression they hid idols under all three tripods based on what was aired. No matter, I'm not used to these new-fangled idols and three teams.

That's pretty much never how it works. Usually it's 1 camp has that idol clue in it, and it's the only tribe that has an idol hidden at the challenge. At the very least, they most certainly don't actually put the idols in the challenge unless someone had found the clue that there would be one there.

I'm not liking Dan. I don't know why. There's nothing in particular I can point to. There's just something about him that made me go "Oh no... not two idols. God drat it." Maybe it was ANYONE getting 2 idols but I think it was already there and that just raised it. Christian seemed as at awe of his win as his tribemates. He on the other hand is very endearing. I hope Dan doesn't screw him. I get that vibe but it might just be my irrational dislike of Dan. I was hugely critical of Alec last week so I find myself having to stop and ask if I should be just as harsh towards Mike this week. Here's the reasons I think I feel more ok with Mike's move than Alec's. 1) He evened the sides instead of giving David the advantage. 2) Alec betrayed a Goliath first so precedent was set when it comes time to explain at Merge. 3) Explaining why Natalie went home come Merge is gonna be really easy. 4) He did talk it out with Angelina before hand. Whether she was on board or not there won't be a big explanation at Tribal or paranoia about a secret plot. Angelina was on the same page all the way up to the vote. Still, that one might come back to haunt Mike. We'll see. Shneak posted:The plotting to steal Lyrsa's jacket and vote her out is scummy but Angelina begging Natalie for her jacket as she leaves is one of the most hilariously petty moments on this show. Right? Like Natalie will take the brunt of it for the bullying and for being her usual bullheaded self but Angelina totally was being entitled as hell too. She was just being pathetic about it instead of bullying. I don't know whether to take this whole incident as evidence that Angelina has the willingness to manipulate people and try and stay on the right side to win this game or as evidence that she's just way too self absorbed to ever have a chance. On the other hand. "Natalie? Can I have your jacket? Natalie? Natalie? Natalie..." I nearly died at the laugh that produced while eating.

I also really enjoyed "Natalie, I think I just figured you out." "No." Jeff being the last person to try and reason with Natalie and be rejected was the perfect end to arch. At least until "Natalie?"

Dan getting two idols is giving me serious 'guy gets voted out with two idols' vibes, though. I don't think he's nowhere smart enough to use them correctly. I'm hoping, for his game's sake, he can ally with John more than he can ally with Kara. Not that Kara isn't a good ally, but that alliance is very lopsided in Kara's favour. Also Angelina just shot to one of my favourites for this season. She's great.

Eighteen years into this show and we're still getting weird/petty/hilarious drama we haven't seen before. Jacketgate is a whole new level of ridiculous, and while I can't give Natalie credit for much in the game, I do give her credit for seeing right straight the gently caress through Angelina's terrible transparent ruse and giving her the proverbial and literal cold shoulder on her way out the door.  Somebody else made a point that if Natalie had swapped with any Goliaths but Mike, she'd probably still be there since she's an ideal goat and completely loyal, but Mike is there for the Survivor Experience™ rather than the money, so he has no use for anything or anyone that is making his Survivor Experience™ unpleasant.

Natalie seems to be that unpleasant that she gets on everybody's nerves except maybe John, who's likely used to having to work with a lot of Natalies in his career. An ideal goat is one thing, but if they're going to wear on your sanity for 39 days, maybe it's just not worth it.

It was probably only a matter of time for Natalie given how unbearable she was. But I think I can see a case to vote out Lyrsa first to get the dominating 3-1 advantage and then you can have Natalie as a safety dunk if you lose again.STAC Goat posted:I'm not liking Dan.

I don't understand the "Lyrsa doesn't add much" excuse for voting her, she seems to always contribute at challenges and work hard around camp. Just say it's because she's a David. I think Natalie was just too awful to be around to have as a goat. When you only get to be around a few people all day long, and one of them is a bossy, lazy know-it-all who thinks they're a humble hard worker...you can only take so much.

It seemed pretty obvious in hindsight that Mike was going to flip; he was already on very shaky standing in the Goliath tribe since his only ally was Jeremy. I don't necessarily agree with the move (it's way easier to form sub-alliances when you're in the majority and have more say rather than as the flipper on the bottom of the new majority), but it wasn't too surprising, unlike Alec's flip. It's very likely that Davids will have the majority come merge, unless Green goes to Tribal (even then, I think Alison is clearly on the outs since Christian might be able to protect Gabby). Even if a David was voted out, the Goliaths are already fragmented due to Alec/Mike's flips. The Davids have their own cracks, so it's not impossible to swing the other way though. But there are some big cross-tribal alliances possible: Mike/Nick, Christian/Dan/John, Alec/Davie/Carl, Kara/Elizabeth, and we see Alison/Gabby for next week. The only one that hasn't really bonded with anyone is Angelina, but I don't think she's the prime target at merge so she'll have room to maneuver. Anyway, Natalie's exit press is out. Nothing too interesting, although if you were interested in her feud with Jeremy: quote:I wasn’t really sure at the time if he injured me deliberately. What happened was, at the first challenge we had to get through or over this bar and as I got to the bar, there was a David encroaching on my right side. And as I went to lift my left leg to go over the bar, and I’m at midpoint, Jeremy actually grabs my leg, slings it forward, and I get thrown completely off balance and I fall. But guess what? I fall in traffic. So now I’m trampled. quote:Holmes: Things got off to a rocky start with you and Jeremy. How did that feud start? Take it with a grain of skepticism, but man, there really was no love lost there.

We already know from edit alone that John wanted to work with her for pretty much the exact reason she said so I'm inclined to believe her. As soon as she ended up with Mike on her shuffled tribe I knew she was in trouble.

Yeah I'm not totally buying Natalie as an effective goat to be honest. If you are abrasive to the point that people don't really want to be around you at camp, you are a liability alliance-wise, and I could totally see Natalie being the kind of player to get more unbearable the longer they stay in the game and build more confidence. Like there was no semblance of a social game being played by her. The best goats are the ones whose pre-merge games are at least somewhat defensible, someone like a Laurel from last season. My sense also is that the more mild-mannered players make better goats. I think players nowadays are generally too savvy not to realize that a Phillip or a Natalie is being groomed to occupy their seat at the end of the game.

Yea, it's one thing to be a bump on a log or be passively annoying and be a goat, but you can't attach yourself to someone who's aggressively annoying and who seems to at least have the potential to do something incredibly reckless at any moment. Goat-wise, I think you want someone who's either a complete non-entity or is, at worst, a quietly lazy person. Someone who never wants to contribute but wants to yell at people when they don't contribute for her is total poison.

More than that I think an ideal goat is someone you want to be able to control or at least predict. And Natalie's obviously just too strong willed to do that. You want someone like Phillip or Coach who you can just placate and convince him that he's running things. Or someone who is just easily controlled and manipulated who you can be confident will just go along with surviving and never rock the boat. But someone like Natalie has real "Chaos Kass" risk. She doesn't have to be a good player or have allies. She just has to be determined and petty enough to gently caress you when she realizes she's a swing vote.

It is incredibly funny that Goliath had numbers in every single tribe, and pissed it away on petty vendettas. I think the next boot is Kara or Alec, which, lol. The whole story of the season seems to be the Goliaths squandering their advantage.

I'm really tempted to seek out Angelina's social media presence just to see how she defends that. "No, see, I'm just one of those people who gets cold" or "it was all a mind game..."? Spatula City posted:Mike's move is better because he's developed a strong alliance with Nick. Alec had no similar assurance. I mean, Alec feels he has a strong alliance with a David too. And Nick actively said that his game strategy is to form a named 2 person alliance with everyone on the island. So I'm not sure that part actually makes Mike's position any stronger. But I still think Mike just had more reasons and a better position to make that move than Alec did. STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 23:01 on Oct 25, 2018 |

My vague memory is that Sherri seemed like one of the only mildly intelligent newbies who had a chance to outsmart Figgy and that dude who was freaky good at ring tosses. But then Phillip was like "come be my goat" and she said "Cool!" and stopped playing. But I hated that season and may have just replaced it with a parody version in my head.
