She's also basically never mentioned it in confessionals since planting the fake one. “Don’t tell people about your advantages” is such an easy thing to remember and yet people keep them secret so, so rarely. I really hope Carolyn takes this season down, she’s definitely playing on the highest level and I bet she’s grinded firemaking at home

On the other hand at this point not practicing the challenges is analogous to not learning to drive stick for TAR and look how that goes. Carson is now solidly trying to play the middle, which means he lasts as long as it takes someone to figure that out (and Carolyn already has) so I think it's a Danny/Carolyn/Jaime goat F3

So Danny getting destroyed by like Carolyn or Yam Yam in FTC might be funny.

I've seen most of that episode by now so many times but not who won the EP and I usually get annoyed with the flugelhorns and the two dingdongs doing wobbly saw all wrong and remember to shut it off at that point.

I've said it before and I'll say again. Survivor is something you should be drafted or summoned into like a jury. You can opt out but Jeff will write you a letter personally telling you how disappointed he is.

Just kind of funny because those are such obvious "build an alliance and get to the end" ideas but nobody is talking about them, and of course none of it works that way anyhow now since they'd all constantly be deciding which of each other is a bigger threat at the end and voting each other out way before they get to 4. Also George liked Heidi's episode even though she voted alone and copped some votes on herself because she did try to work with that 4 on the reward which he thinks was right, and he believes some of the others might recognize that now.

Carolyn/Danny/Yam Yam final three with Carolyn (or Yam) winning makes this a top 3 season for me. And it’s amazingly plausible at this point.

Couldn't sleep so I watched the replay. drat I can't believe Jamie and Lauren flipped on Danny and Heidi! Kind of bummed that Carolyn ended up "wasting" her idol but it's still a net positive for her chances if she makes it to the end (but obviously a net negative for her actually getting there). Idk what was so embarrassing about the exit though.

Well the slow predictable march to a Tika final 3 continues, as another challenge threat player gets booted pretty predictably. Strictly from a challenge performance perspective Lauren is probably next. She pretty much only has Jaime, and she's up against Heidi & her idol, and the Tika 3. This episode felt mostly fine, but like so many other New Era episodes also feels mostly forgettable. As such here are some stray thoughts from just watching this so I don't forget them later: -Carolyn is telling us this is the first time she was on the wrong side of the vote, which isn't correct, but the show seems to want us to think it is... -...and the person we're getting all the other side of the story from is her #1 Yam Yam, not Carson or anyone else -It's funny that people are having the same conversations about Tika running the game that Frannie was warning us about, and they're too late to do anything about it -Running Last Gasp again, in the same place it was in S43, just filming at an earlier time of day to make sure there is a single winner this time? It's not special if you keep doing it! -This might mean they're going to use "Choose Your Champion" somewhere next episode, if they use it at all -I guess we can also expect the Tower of Power immunity challenge next week -Jeff's pushing these people to create television drama and have footage to work with, but this is one of those times where the pushing just feels really tone-deaf. Especially since at minimum Yam Yam couldn't hear him! -They've now shown us Carson staring into a roaring fire with the reflection in his glasses like 7 times. editors, we get it. -Tribal Council still sucked the life out of the show, but Carolyn at least said some of what I was thinking and pushed back against the "Game's hard, Jeff" non-answers everyone always gives... -...and the reactions she got from her talk with Probst suggested that people don't seem to respect her very much -Votes were 3 Danny / 2 Heidi / 2 Carson so Carolyn blew her idol, which isn't going to look good to the jury either -Boy I'm glad Shot In The Dark is done for the season, now can we just retire it because it sucks?

Ratu and Soka voted along tribal lines again. The only difference this time was Tika voting together.

It's quite possible they didn't run the challenge earlier in the day and were hoping for the same result as last time. But also from the interviews from last season they've been wanting to run the Last Gasp but haven't been in a location in Fiji that had a protected bay with calm water. It's odd that Lauren & Jamie didn't vote for Carson and stuck together. There will probably be some major blowback with Carolyn telling Yam Yam she didn't have the Tika idol and then playing it to save Carson. Obviously going to put a big target on Carolyn's back as now everyone (including the jury) can see she is playing the game and not just a hyper emotional player.

Actually wait, why even vote for Heidi? You know the Tikas are voting for Danny. Are you trying to float the middle? That's silly, you either commit to Tika or Soka, because even if they flip back to Heidi next tribal it's a tie at best.

It's really telling when I look at this thread last night and see mostly no new posts during the show. Game has become way too scripted or the contestants are just all so aware of how to play the game. Cutting the time back really pulls the show at the seams, yes I know, COVID, keep everyone safe, but Australian Survivor, even though it has people that are BIG on how to play the game, the time they are out there has them breathe and develop moreso than the 26 days the American one is.

I think for a lot of people it's just not a high priority to watch live because of other things vying for attention. Updated power rankings: Yam Yam Carson Carolyn Jamie Heidi Lauren I think the editing of last night's episode put a clear structure in how everyone feels about the Tika Three in a potential FTC scenario. Carolyn's idol play probably helped her strategic resume but not as much as if she hadn't gotten Jamie and Lauren to flip. But getting them to flip probably also counts for something? It feels like I'm trying to talk myself into ranking her higher, but I think she needs at least one more thing she can claim as "hers" to pass what Yam Yam and Carson have. No notes on Jamie/Heidi/Lauren. They're just big nothingburgers at this point. Heidi might be able to save face with an idol play but even then I don't think she can pass any of the Tika Three.

It's arguably even just a waste of time to watch live TV with 18 minutes of commercials. Just stream it later and skip the commercials. Either with a better subscription or an adblocker. Ublock has worked with Paramount Plus for a while now, even though it still shows the runtime with ads so you can see how much time you saved

It would be so weird if the Tika 3 broke up because they thought Carolyn was too much of a threat.
