It was 'I'm a disgusting person who doesn't understand that this is game where people make moves to betray each other, and it's nothing personal; so I'm going to humiliate a middle aged woman on national television and carry a giant grudge around'. I'm with you on the carrying a grudge around part, but nothing can convince me there was anything wrong with what she had Dawn do at FTC. Yeah Dawn felt humiliated, but she shouldn't have. I don't think there was anything humiliating about it at all. Do we know how everyone voted for the tie vote? We only noticed them showing the re-votes but those aren't the ones I wanted to see.

savinhill posted:John and Jackylyn are so dumb if this is the time they decide to jump alliances. Ignore this if you mean it's only dumb now that Julie quit. Because otherwise, not really. If they stick with Jeremy, they'll think they're in great shape in his alliance because 2 pairs = 4, which outnumbers Natalie/Jeremy/Julie. And there's no way Jeremy lets that group stay around until F7 when the alliance has to target itself and he goes home because the 3 singles are outnumbered. He'll recruit the 2 remaining singles in at F9, and we'll get a 5-4 #Blindside with one of the pairs going home. After that he'd be in great shape as part of the 3-2 majority within his new alliance. Vote out Missy and with Josh gone he may even be lucky enough that Baylor will understand why he had to get rid of her mom, leaving him safe until at least F5. The editing tonight had a couple things that seem like foreshadowing that Baylor will eventually split from her mom, but I'm expecting it to be an emotional/rebellious decision rather than a smart one. It's funny because I think that million dollars was Jeremy's to lose if Josh hadn't convinced Jon/Jaclyn to vote with them. If Jon/Jaclyn end up waffling back to Jeremy's alliance next week and they vote out Josh or Reed, I can't wait to hear Jeremy being a baby about how Julie's quitting might cost him a million dollars when in reality it saved him.

Julie's exit interview on RHAP is exactly what I was expecting so far. Whining about how "it would have been nice to have someone bringing me fresh crab in the mornings like Jon did for Jaclyn." like she got cheated out of the normal survivor experience. I don't understand why CBS and casting think we need celebrities on the show. I don't know a single person who doesn't already watch every season that decided to watch it because John Rocker or any other celebrity was on that season.

STAC Goat posted:Oh, and I totally think it's dumb for Jon and Jaclyn to go with Josh over Jeremy. Jeremy's group is a mess and hugely dependent on the Jon/Jaclyn/Missy/Baylor alliance even before Julie left. Josh on the other hand has strong relationships with Wes and Baylor and virtually no relationship with Jon or Jaclyn so that sets the two of them up to easily be on the bottom of that couples deal. If Jon thinks they're going to go down to 8 without anyone making a move or forming a sub alliance he's stupid, and there's already the bulk of Josh's original alliances in there. It's a bad, bad move IMO. And it's going to cost us Jeremy and Natalie (who I keep waiting to break out and feel like she could if Jeremy goes next week and she's forced to play desperate and alone). Meanwhile I bet Josh keeps Alec around longer than Jon. With Julie still around I just think Jeremy's alliance turning the pairs into the minority by creating more singles it makes it smart to go with Josh. But yeah now that Julie's gone I think it'd be extremely dumb for Jon/Jaclyn to side with Josh.

Vernacular posted:I think its sort of amusing that Josh is tooting the "couple solidarity" horn when one of his most reliable allies is Alec. It does make sense, and I guess it would be easy enough to just be like "hey Alec, this is how were spinning it to Jon/Jaclyn/Missy/Baylor, so just play along", but its still a little funny. haha yeah when I thought of this my immediate reaction was "oh yeah it's Alec, he'll buy into whatever."

I liked Josh because at least he was trying to play the game... or so I thought. But I don't understand how he made absolutely no attempt to make Jaclyn feel more welcome or anything at all with Alec acting like that and Keith/Wes only making the situation worse.

Vernacular posted:Josh was very likable and played a good game (other than his complete lack of alliance management), but he was pretty much the only one in his tribe I felt that way about. Alec (ugh), Wes and Keith pretty much are net negatives, and it would be quite awful to have them in the drivers seat for the rest of the game. Speaking of which, I just can't believe how clueless those guys can be. How hard can it be to pinpoint the most important person in your alliance (Jaclyn) and 1) be nice and respectful to her, and 2) make her feel like she's an important part of the alliance/decision-making process. A simple "Hey Jaclyn, who do you want to see go home tonight?" probably would've done wonders. This is what I was saying except I was specifically wondering why in the world Josh didn't do anything in regards to Jaclyn... and everyone responded by telling me what Josh did wrong in regards to Baylor.

paperchaseguy posted:But it's better to have your partner A on the jury. That's a guaranteed vote for A' and no chance of a split vote that leaves player B a chance of a 4-3-2 win. In a Final 6 with 3 pairs, why would anyone feel comfortable with entering F5 as the only single left? I don't think many people would willingly let themselves be voted out at F4 just so they can give their partner a jury vote. And if a pair makes it to F3, it shouldn't be that hard to make a case for the fact that both of you deserve to win over the other player left, while still directing jury votes at just one member of the pair. You should have played well enough that the odd man out doesn't receive 4 votes in which case it doesn't matter if your partner got 1 or 2 stray votes to win.

I almost didn't want to watch it because of that, but I was relieved when it didn't happen. That's the best part about this though, somebody out there was actually a lot dumber than Kat. It can't be her based on his other comments about it.

I'm 27 and my sister is 24, but neither of us will eat out with my mom because she still hasn't figured out that we're capable of ordering our own food in a restaurant. My sister takes the Baylor route with it but I return the favor and embarrass her back. The reactions from mortified servers when I order a steak/burger/etc cooked one way, only for her to jump in and explain to them that's not how I really want it cooked ("He meant medium well not medium rare!") are completely hilarious though. This usually turns into a 3-5 minute argument before she'll drop it and let the server take my order.

Keith was hilarious this episode. There's nobody left capable of getting any votes except Natalie and Keith so I'm really hoping Keith wins. Can't wait to see Missy's ego on display next week, whether it's from the jury or the finals. Really hoping that Baylor chooses Keith over Natalie and we get to watch Keith win in the F3 against Missy and Baylor.

I would have no problem voting out my family if it made sense for me (or us) but there's no way I'd risk my fiancee's wrath by voting her out under any circumstance. There's no way someone like Jaclyn would take sacrificing herself well at all, regardless of what she says.

GaussianCopula posted:Commercial spoiler They announced there will be one blindside in the finale, which has to be Natalie at f4, as Keith and Jaclyn both would expect to get voted out. I think Baylor/Missy/Natalie are more scared of Keith as a "challenge beast" so he probably goes f5, which means your winner of Survivor San Juan del Sur is Jaclyn "I'm on permanent birth control" Schultz. Pretty sure CBS plays fast and loose with the term #Blindside

Shakugan posted:One thing I didn't notice in this thread was discussion about how Jaclyn had a chance to win the entire game but threw it away? All she had to do was vote Natalie instead of Baylor at final 5; getting someone to use their idol on you and then using that immunity to vote that someone off is a game winning move. Missy and Baylor likely would have taken Jaclyn to final tribal even if she hadn't won immunity because they were stupid and scared of Keith. Alternatively she could have got with Keith and said they would force a draw until one of Baylor/Missy agreed to be voted out (knowing it would make no difference to their chances of winning). She had no idea Natalie had an idol before tribal council. You could tell she wasn't just acting surprised when Missy (or maybe it was Baylor) mentioned that they weren't worried about the idol because they knew who had it.
