I am really curious though since Xander pulled out the fake idol and seemed to unwrap it before the advantage steal was announced. But Shannon also has an idol and should have known it was a fake one he was holding... (although I am sure you could maybe blame it on editing)

If she did realize it was fake then she was smart to keep her mouth shut and have people use their idols/advantages. The last-minute idea to split the vote to flush out the idol was very smart even though didn't ultimately work that way. But I honestly think she just wasn't considering the possibility of a fake idol.

She is 1 of the 3 people to say the weird rear end phrase at Tribal council that activated the idols. The 3 idols in the game are pretty much public knowledge. Maybe it would be bad to announce that Shan and Liana were working together, but I am pretty sure the core alliance already has accepted that Liana is part of their alliance.

Erika not smashing the hourglass would have been worse than you-know-who giving away the immunity necklace imo, I’m glad she avoided that. Agree that Xander oversold the fake but not sure how much of that was in editing. No jury yet, huh? Interesting. I love gimmicks but hate advantage overload so I’m glad they haven’t found a ton of stuff post merge and there’s a couple things off the table now. Bitter Sydney is extremely funny. Good episode, if not the pure dry strategy I was hoping to get some of this season at some point.

You know, based on her official contestant bio, I thought she would be absolutely insufferable.

This episode was very fun. And that was all possible because other players learned about Liana’s thing, otherwise it would’ve sucked. Instead it became like idol roulette x2 with a very successful bluff. Sydney was amusing but she only ever had exactly the one speed of “oh well whatever, I’m great.” Like that was fun but it seemed to be literally all she ever said.

also this was like the 4th episode where the editors passive aggressively subtitled a player saying "guys." In this case it was in the original Yase tribe meeting where they literally only subtitled that one sentence.

Fast Luck posted:Yeah, I feel like that was a lot of really bad play by Liana. She was extremely obviously flipped over to Shan, and then extremely obviously fishing about where the idol would be at TC. Her alliance should’ve been fully prepared for that advantage (which both Liana and Shan are responsible for revealing) to misfire with a backup play ready to go in advance. And that’s if they were going to insist on playing it in that direction at all. They should have used it on Naseer but I guess Danny and Deshaun liked him too much for that… but they’re already part of the big tribe going into this, and did anyone notice who he was huddling up with at first? Haha Liana thought she was still in with them and that they trusted her. All the showmanship was them exploiting that.

interview with Sydney Segal TVLINE | Can you share something from that night that didn’t make the edit? Danny basically reamed Jeff out. He was like, “This isn’t a twist. This is a lie! You told us that if we won the challenge, we would get immunity,” and there was a long conversation about it. Jeff’s like, “OK, well maybe I can make it better for future seasons. What can I change?” I’m thinking like, “Really, bro?” I don’t want a change to go benefit someone else that I don’t f–king know because I don’t have empathy for them. What the hell do I care? This is about the now, and it’s about me getting f–ked over. That twist was intended to get a threatening player out, and I said during my pre-game interviews, in order to win Survivor, you can’t be the best at anything. So looking back, I was f–ked from the beginning because I’m the best at everything.

Genuinely loving done with the whisper chaos. Y'all got played and didn't have a plan for your side's fuckup, that's on you. Next season they should lose their vote if they stand up before Jeff tells them to.

I'm torn on it. I love when there's some goober flipping between groups and when presumably they are still hearing some of the whispers. On the other hand, often there's a lot of whispering and they just do exactly what their plans were from before tribal and that's a waste of time imo. I think it'd be probably more entertaining if they needed to have those discussions aloud, lay their loyalties out, argue, get defensive, all the classic juicy tribal fighting.

Really enjoyed this episode. Xander pulled it off well. Liana blew it. Didn't help that she put her eggs in Shan's basket who then proceeded to bring it up in front of Tiffany, who then told Evvie and Xander. But I loved that whole tribal. I didn't see anyone mention this yet but Deshaun was holding two votes during the credits so I guess he also blew his extra vote trying to get Evvie out.

Boomer opinion alert: i think whispering at TC is complete bullshit and the point is you’re supposed to have your plan and backups configured before you get there and if you have to figure poo poo out publicly or talk in code or something that should be on you

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this episode, but I did a big eyeroll when they jumped out of their seats.

I was gonna say you're wrong but I forgot Syd wasted her vote. She was pissed when leaving that she shouldn't played done shot in the dark (anyone could have said that) but actually she kind of did if Deshawn hadn't played his double vote. It ended up being 3-4-5, that would be 3-4-4 with Deshawn not playing double, and 4-4-4 if Syd hadn't done shot in the dark. Basically they could have gotten Evvie out tonight but I'm glad they hosed that up. I want more Evvie.

Great episode. This season has really turned it on. The Liana stuff is interesting. We're obviously seeing a heavy-handed edit that no doubt colors things, but it's still just so hard to imagine she was getting any mileage whatsoever with her "Yase Strong" act. Like people -must- have noticed her new BFF vibes with Shan, right? She struck me as super transparent. Maybe it was the edit, but maybe not. I wonder if there was much thought given to asking Tiffany for the idol? In any case, I feel like you absolutely have to assume Xander -does not- have the idol in that situation (and him flouting the necklace should have confirmed this...a cool move for sure, but a classic Survivor bait-and-switch that I'm surprised nobody caught onto). But then how do you decide between Evvie and Tiffany? Tough. I think you just hold onto the advantage in that situation, shore up Sydney as an ally and split the votes between Evvie/Xander. I don't really understand Sydney being the target. She would have voted with them for sure had they put in the recruiting effort. Tiffany is low-key playing one of the better games. People were coming to her with information despite it being obvious to the audience how rock solid she was with Evvie and Xander. I think she has a subtle rapport with Naseer, and it's something that will come into play. Aside from her, Deshaun and Shan are killing it and might have the season in the bag between them. Ricard's a huge competitor but he comes off too strong and is going to get backstabbed at some point. Feels like Liana's game is botched and she has a ticket to the finals etched in stone as somebody's goat. Evvie/Xander/Tiffany is a fun, competent minority alliance and one of them will probably wriggle through and be a finals threat.

Xander and Tiff were both immune, Deshawn and Danny were together in the PoC alliance, and they knew Naseer also had an idol. There was literally no other option for them. They should have done the split the other way IMO to force the idol to be played on Evie for her to stay in the game, but maybe they were afraid of double votes.

Yep, there's a lot of what ifs from the tribal that could come up if more than 5 people were eligible to be voted for... Luckily I was able to ninja edit my post wondering why the 8 player alliance just didn't split their votes last night
