I love how the Brains tribe is just overthinking itself into complete and utter disaster.

Just... why are you idiots making moves for day 21 when it is day 3? Find the person who is making you lose challenges, vote them off, start winning challenges. It is literally that simple.

They're gonna get loving Ulonged.

Ned makes it to the merge, then goes right up to Cersei and tells her he'll be blindsiding her tonight with the help of Littlefinger. Then he goes to Littlefinger and says that he won't be taking Littlefinger to the final three with him, but vote his way anyway.

Ned is deeply surprised to be voted out that night.

Tony is the crowning example of something plaguing nearly everybody on this season, including the Brains idiots -- they're all so stupid-smart, overthinking and overplaying everything. While I was watching the last episode I actually started wishing for a bunch of mactors who didn't know the show, just because at least they wouldn't be pulling idiotic meta poo poo like lying to everyone for no good reason, voting for Day 39 on Day 2, engineering vote splits at the first Tribal Council, and so on, and so forth.

I mean, for fucksakes. Vote out the weak people so that you win challenges, it's that simple right now, stop overcomplicating this poo poo so early.

I'm still amused that the Brains tribe is still together especially since they picked their buffs last. I'd almost accuse the producers of rigging it, but why would they?
They picked first and it doesn't matter anyway, it was random chance. 3 people pulling the same color in a row is unlikely, but not staggeringly so.

It got buried in the awesome second half of the episode, but not enforcing gender parity on that reward challenge was some dumb bullshit. It just wasn't fair that the orange tribe had to put a girl on the pole all three rounds, nor was it at all surprising when they couldn't handle dudes with at least 50 pounds on them trying to muscle them around.

There were likely a lot more rounds than what they showed. The show has a long history of challenges that go on a bunch of rounds but they edit it down to the same result with less rounds.
Two of the three rounds they showed was still 2 girls and 1 guy against 2 guys and 1 girl though, which isn't very fair at all even if there were other rounds when that wasn't the case.

In the absolute worst case scenario -- Orange Tribe loses four straight immunity challenges and goes into the merge with just the Brains left -- the Brains simply pull in Woo and Lindsey, who are both discontented and would be happy to knife Tony in the back, and they've got a 5-4 advantage in the numbers.

A strong alliance of three is never in a weak position in this game.

Alternatively Orange loses this very next challenge and while Brains try and decide who to turn the tribe against or who to get on their side Sarah convinces the Beauties not to give up their power and to vote out Spencer. Will it happen? I have no idea. Sarah and the Beauties have been pretty questionable players so far. But it absolutely CAN happen and would be the smartest play for Sarah and the Beauties.
I think you're discounting how much the Beauties hate each other. Morgan in particular has no reason to go along with the people who cut her out and were making no secret about how she was the next boot.

The Brains getting walloped and sent to Tribal again and again is what's made them so paradoxically strong right now; there are no divisions left for anyone to take advantage of. They backstabbed, schemed, and shattered their own tribe again and again. Now all that's left is the last three people from a tribe so broken that even alliances stopped mattering and it just became "who are we willing to down together with". There's no minority on the outs, there's no grudges. There's just three people who have been through the poo poo together and have suddenly been handed a whole lot of power. That's strong stuff for where they're at right now.

I can't believe that after Spencer demonstrated the proper strategy for the reward challenge in the very first round (throw your thing as high as you can and go hug the other guy), nobody used it after that, including Spencer again. Whafuck?

Preview talk: No way they're actually merging next episode, right? That's gotta be a fakeout, 11 is incredibly early.

I guess I can hold out hope that Spencer's made enough of an impression to come back for an All-Stars, so that's something. Poor bastard keeps getting hamstrung by idiots, I feel for him.

I'm sure there's a massive case of Monday morning quarterbacking going on here, plus Spencer didn't get to see the edit I did or anything, but... man. It still feels to me like Morgan was the obvious next target -- they all hated her, and going after a weak player is exactly the kind of stupid-smart decision both Tony and Kass love. I can't shake the feeling that Spencer should have known to play his idol on her.

I'm not sure on what basis everyone believes Tony gets to Final 3 on the strength of his super idol alone. Isn't the last time the idols can be played the vote before final 4? He's done okay but not great in the individual immunities. To get Final 3 means he either has to win the final four comp, or he's taken as a goat to final 3. With how much he's pissing off his alliance, seems like he might get the goat benefit.

The best scenario would be if -- knowing he has an idol -- everyone else successfully engineers a vote split against Tony, he plays the regular idol, and then haha oops, revotes also lock out the Stupid Idol from being played and he goes home with the Stupid Idol in his pocket.

Tony and Kass are classic contestants in that both would be great competitors if they didn't have one fatal flaw that makes them their own worst enemy. They both have a great tool set and are not afraid of making moves and playing the game but Kass has no self awareness and Tony overplays everything. Its just pure hubris and it is entertaining to watch.
Kass also has no social game, no challenge ability, no understanding of strategy, no leadership, no idea when to make big moves, and no jury sympathy.

She's lacking just a few more things than Tony is, is all I'm suggesting here. Also, I hate her so very much.

I think that it is silly to put spoilers around the speculation that you have there, as I think that scenario is almost impossible. Why in the world would Spencer or Tony win immunity at 3 and pick the other one to go to the final 2 with them? That's like the least likely final 2. If the final 3 includes both Spencer and Tony and one of them wins final immunity, they're taking Woo/Kass.
Tony mega-hates Kass and might also be stupid-honorable enough to want to take his best competitor to Final 2? Spencer definitely would axe Tony in a heartbeat, but Tony's less predictable.

Hatch is sorta like Team Guido in Amazing Race -- defined the game and should never be discounted for doing so, but hopelessly outclassed when brought back to compete against a field full of people who had taken their revolutionary play as a starting point, competed against other people who were doing the same thing, and improved on it.

RI works with BvW, there's the added wrinkles of voting out a loved one specifically to try and bait a strong player from the other tribe into taking their place, having to avoid angering the people you vote off too badly because they can and will information-share with their loved one on the other tribe, how as the merge approaches players with loved ones still on RI become disproportionate threats, because if you leave them around they're about to get a guaranteed solid ally, all that fun stuff.
