They're 100% changing the contracts from this point forward to keep people from quitting my wife said as this bullshit is going down.

I mean, here's the thing... This just injected another sweet twist of drama. Without any contrivances.

But the drama was going to be the tribe voting against their own to go with Sean and get out Sifu

Did what he feels is right

Isn't he just going to wait at Ponderosa sequestered until it's over anyway?

All he did was give up the chance to win a lot of money

I think they go on vacation in Australia or similar after production clears Ponderosa out for the jurors. But yeah, he ain't going home.

I'm still so annoyed at this. Like dude, you finally had things go right and engineered a blindside. Just hang on another day.

At least Hannah had some indication before hand.

Edit: engineered might be overselling it. He was definitely about to be part of one until he quit.

Yeah yeah the challenges are designed to require big strong men which is lame but it’s still a fact.

To be fair, Sifu seems really weird in a way that would probably make me want to vote him out. He just exudes this really annoying energy I don't know if I could stand for more than a couple days.

Fair enough. I’d be the first to roll my eyes at the dude. But you gotta put up with it in order to save your tribe til the merge.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Sifu definitely seems like he could be completely exhausting and impossible to play with. Like it’s one thing if he annoys you the way that one lady is pressed with Bruce. But if he’s like that all the time then that might mean you can’t have a meaningful game talk with him because he’s singing and being weird. And then that’s gonna breed paranoia about what he’d do when he has the chance or if you can count on him to when it counts.

But drat, something broke every Lulu member to their core. My working theory is Caleb is some sort of vampire preying on all of them.

Not having fire and eating raw cocnuts on a deserted island while you continuously lose challenge after challenge is probably a mentally taxing experience. Both Emily and Caleb seemed absolutely ecstatic to have finally won immunity. poo poo, Emily started crying.

On the other end I bet Sean felt the literal opposite. Like he was trapped and doomed to just keep doing this until voted off, possibly even the next day, since he'd still be the odd man out after Sifu.

Combine that with Lulu having someone already do the unthinkable and quit earlier, I kinda get how he did it.

It still loving sucks and I hate him anyone for quitting though. At least he made it longer than Hannah I guess.

Why would you count Brandon? He sucked at the game but he didn’t quit or ask to be voted out.

So glad they still made them vote this time.

Julie called it a "last minute audible" to vote Sifu so I wonder if they were voting out Sean before, or if she was just calling it an audible in that it was overriding Sean's own request to go.

Come on though Sean, they don't put you on a plane back home, they keep you in Ponderosa unless you shred your contract!
