I don't see Tony getting the bitter jury treatment. Everyone there knows he's a crazy player there to make big moves and gently caress people over. It's the players that are nice and friendly and then gently caress their friends over on the way to the end that get the bitter jury treatment. (Or the really big douchebags like Russel that everyone just hates the entire time).

One of the only curveballs I could see working against Tony is if, like, Sophie & Kim are vocally lobbying against someone playing the polar opposite style of game as them. I know Sophie has spoken out against making moves just for the sake of making them in the past; maybe combine that with a bitter Jeremy and you can get anti-Tony sentiment to win on exile.

That being said — I don't think Tony really fits the mold of standard aimless modern Survivor finalist. He genuinely thrives in chaos and is playing a game that benefits him more than anyone else. And the guy who makes moves basically always wins. I'd be shocked if he makes it ot the finals and loses

Yeah, as chaotic as Tony's style is all his moves have made enough sense that I'm not sure he'll even have to explain or justify them. And the fact that even if a Sophie, Kim, or Jeremy is mad and questions him is answer is basically "I have to get you out before you could win this from me" plays to the right "kiss the jury's rear end" vibe.

Most players who suffer a "bitter jury" either do so because they're just assholes, refuse to own their poo poo, or played so far under the radar mo one really believes them about their games. Tony really doesn't have any of those problems. His biggest worry is probably that F4 immunity/fire.

Thankee kindly.
This jury is also a bit more level-headed (I mean, you have Sophie and freaking Yul on it) and have probably had nothing to do on Edge but discuss who's playing the best game. I think only the freshest jurors would be going into Tribal with a vengeance, if any.

It's pretty late, but they finally made opening credits for the season.

This makes IoI the only season not to have them, and I wouldn't be surprised if it never did thanks to Dan (honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if that's why Previously On was done away with as well).

The knot thing was definitely an equalizer for all those advantages. Sort of thing you can just get stuck in. Those other advantages give her a chance to come back though.

I don't know what "IAP"s are but 4 other players had advantages and other players bought food.

She might be the only player who bought an idol though. Not sure.

If Nat were to go out on the fire challenge at 4, she could get to be the first and last person voted out of the game...
