did they raid the other tribe for fire tokens? is that what that was??

Natalie gave Sarah the opportunity to spend a token for the chance to raid the other camp's torches in search of a steal-a-vote advantage, which she did find.

Sara got offered an advantage from Natalie on extinction island. In order to get it, she had to sneak in to other camp to get it. Bit confusing. Now Sara has a "vote steal" advantage.

Rob's mind games enough to save him tonight? Looks like he did real bad in that challenge, had to give up the rope swing, and goobered up the puzzle. Oh, looks like they're still going to push for Parv?

ohhhh ok that's what that was

still.... lmao

and yeah it's hard for me to shake the idea that rob is intentionally tanking now, since i think he feels fairly secure in his hold on the tribe? idk

perhaps it is i who is the wifom

You're not wrong to think that! People do it often enough, but they usually mug to the camera theyre going to do it beforehand

You could tell that Sele was going to tribal if you follow the edit closely. All of the Dakal content was spread out across multiple people, just like last week when half the tribe talked about Tony's ladder because they only had limited time.

Leaving Adam out of the vote may be questionable from an alliance-building perspective, but I respect the hell out of the strong "stay in your lane, child" message.

I guess that explains why there were so many secret scenes of Ethan: he wasn't relevant to the story.

I'm surprised Jeremy wasn't nudging Michele to go for Rob since he has to know he's probably getting advantages from Amber.

Yeah, I want to rewatch that season knowing she wins. Still think it shoulda been Aubry but Michelle evidently did something more rightlier than her.

hard not to, when we've seen more strategic depth from them vs. Tony's Shenanigans (which i love dearly so far dont get me wrong)

its likely more editing and the fact that they've been to tribal on the last two episodes, so they've been the focus

This really just goes to show you how much of Survivor is luck and random bullshit. Sometimes you do nothing wrong and get sent home because of someone you're connected to. Sometimes you make massive, huge mistakes and don't get punished for them. RIP Ethan, you are now officially my number one rooting interest to return to the game.

The connections you have with people are like, the meat and potatoes of the game though.

Like I'm as bummed as everyone else to see Ethan gone so early, but perhaps it should have been expected that he would get hit by stray fire when he attached himself to two of the three players with the absolute biggest targets on their backs of the whole season.

Congratulations!
Bummed to see Ethan go, but as long as it’s not Parv I’m good. Might even help long term having Ethan on the edge feeding Parv advantages much like I hoped could happen with Ambuh/Rob.

I’m not sure how I feel about Ethan in that spot. Seems highly likely a tribe swap is coming soon, maybe even next episode. Gives Parv and Rob an opportunity to recruit some new allies and get back on top. Hopefully when the season is over everyone looks back on this episode as the missed opportunity to take down Parv or Rob.
