Not only will I be safe, but I will throw my vote on someone else to they don't have to revote! Yeah, truly an incredibly stupid move. You know explicitly that the vote is going against you and one other person. If you decide not to vote for the other person, you put yourself at a massive risk. You can't BOTH vote for a third party in that situation AND try to keep your idol. You just can't.

If they don't at least pretend to target Austin next week he can idol his way to fire making and uhhhh guys I'm not sure that's where you want Austin to be? Big Spike in Katurah visibility this week, and then she doesn't even get the majority of the credit on taking out her nemesis Bruce. Purely from an ~editing~ perspective my prediction is we're about to see Reba implode and get Emily as a winner, Katurah second place and Jake trapped in the goat position ala Romeo or Owen.

Propaganda Machine posted:No, this is dumb. It's interesting that everybody thinks Julie is such a jury threat, but Emily KNEW last round that she needed to make a move. She got shut down by her boys and went back to them anyway. I was almost on her train but at this point she 100% deserves to lose. Julie's a jury threat because she hasn't done anything to piss anyone off. Sure, she hasn't done any big moves, but she's kept Reba together and been a great mom to everyone, with a good social game. She's been on the right side of votes without creating waves. With some casts, having no "cons" is what you need to win.

It's because she had nothing to do with him getting voted out Power Rankings: I think this is the only time I've ever just reposted the same rankings with the only difference being to take who got voted out and remove them Dee Austin Drew Julie *a big gap* Emily Jake Katurah Thought about maybe swapping Austin and Dee or Drew and Julie but I just don't think there was enough for me to change that opinion. I think Katurah is a lock for the final 3 at this point unless the Reba 4 actually stay 4 strong all the way to the end.

With some casts, having no "cons" is what you need to win. I've come a little bit around to Emily's play this episode. Bruce/Jake/Keturah just could not get anything done at all, and nobody on Reba was ready to move on until Bruce was gone. By expediting things by one round by removing Bruce's idol she now has a lot more people that could be ready to play with her.

I don't like Emily very much (it's INSANE people find Bruce annoying but are fine with her lol), but tricking Bruce like that was a pretty choice play. If she makes it to the final vote I could see her winning over almost anyone. I'm always bad at gauging how much the tribe likes people, though.

A lot of the things people think are annoying about her, she's not trying to be annoying; to use the big scene in Episode 1, where she pointed out that they *weren't* all equal because Bruce had been on the show briefly before (I'm probably going to describe this terribly) she was trying to make sure others didn't fall for his bs and understood that he had an advantage. Truth and honesty tend to be a big thing with autism. It's also why she was pretty paranoid at first, because she was having a hard time adjusting to a game where people do lie a lot. Bruce is just an rear end who thinks he's fantastic.

njsykora posted:The vibe of the episode was that everyone left actually thinks they're in the Belo alliance except Jake. This is for sure what is happening. Most of Belo never went to tribal premerge (only Kendra and Brando went) and never figured out how to trust each other or work together. So they ended up thinking they are in an alliance with Reba. And they keep holding on hoping that Reba will finally crack and drag them to the end.

I really don’t understand that vote. Can they not count? Or does Emily think she is actually part of the Reba alliance? Her fake plan was way better then her “big move”. Now is there anything to stop Reba from just picking everyone else off now that they are the majority?

Demon_Corsair posted:I really don’t understand that vote. Can they not count? Or does Emily think she is actually part of the Reba alliance? My only guess is that her plan is that she thinks the Reba 4 will have to turn on each other before final 4 (which to be fair is historically accurate) and that she's going to be able to claim how she masterminded their fall, all while avoiding getting caught out herself. I suppose to be fair the edit seemed to give her the credit for getting Bruce to not play his idol.

Whoever wins immunity just gets to pick whoever their lowest threat is.

CODChimera posted:does anyone else think the show is maybe a little too overproduced at this point? and not just with the editing, half the cast are trying to do bits or Survivor Moments any chance they can. and everyone's always crying It's been overproduced since probably Samoa when producers found it entertaining to watch Russel constantly finding hidden immunity idols. Since they've gone way overboard on secret twists to control the game, to the point where they'd do things like plant idols where Ben always did his confessionals and included a sign telling him to dig. Even in the "new era" when they've bragged about bringing the game back to basics, it's still just as full of twists as before. Brando said that he actually found an advantage at the merge feast, and planned to read it when he got back to camp alone, and producers came and intervened and took it away from him. I guess he wasn't part of production's long term plan. It reminds me of Jeff talking about his conversation with Mike White regarding his plans for season 41. If I remember correctly, it was an evolution of the fire tokens from Winners at War, with far more complicated rules. He asked Mike what he thought, who said, "It's interesting, but is if fun?" And Jeff agreed it wasn't fun, and scaled back his plans. But he still forced in all those confusing prisoner's dilemma segments, shot in the dark, and the turn back time.

Sometimes it shows us more things, sometimes it just makes each thing longer, if that makes sense. I agree with you this episode felt heavy on the bits and crying, but I think they were just longer segments than usual. I wish they'd either way overproduce it like The Genius's editing gimmickry, or step back down from the slo-mo and flashbacks and stuff. Not sure anyone should take my advice though, I think they should've kept working on fire tokens.

The plan was terrible, strategically. It was great tactically, though. So it's either up to people being bad at adaptable strategy generally, or under survivor stress. I think a lot of them were just thinking that getting Bruce out IS the plan because it WAS the plan and haha we can finally do it... even if it's a terrible idea now.

I think the increased emotion in the modern era is at least partly because they have real people who are also big fans and so have feelings and expectations about survivor rather than a lot of mactors punching the clock on a gig

I guess he wasn't part of production's long term plan. Brando didn't make the merge. At the swap, he found something inside his buff, and hid it instead of reading it. His guess was that he could have influenced the tribal makeups for the swap if he'd read it, but why the producers thought anyone would immediately announce that they found an advantage is anyone's guess.
