Oh poo poo, I just remembered that Colton's fiance died in a work related incident not long ago. I'd say it's karma but eh...

This doesn't even make sense? It's Karma that a nice guy died because his boyfriend was a douchebag? Like what?

Well, she was on exile island when everyone on her tribe was getting to know one another, she had one of her only allies betray her and the other one was voted off, leaving her with one person she had any reason to trust. Oh, and she has a likable and strong family member on the other tribe, although it's tough to tell how well the opposing tribe can gauge things like that.

She way overplayed her hand but she was probably doomed anyway. I appreciate her going down as a kind of insane person who burned Baylor's game on her way out

She's the type of person that I would assume could have blended right in and not be on anyone's radar to vote off right away though. But she went and lied about having 2 idols right away and put some sort of giant rear end target on herself for no reason at all. Like she could have made the merge just by not lying right off the bat...

Something I found interesting this ep was Probst's reaction to the request to trade a bag of beans for a flint. He was such a hardass to the team making the offer as if they were doing something wrong, and cut it down when it could have become an interesting negotiation between the tribes.

They kind of were doing something wrong and Probst was totally right to be a dick to them. They just won fishing gear and decided they would be willing to give up their beans for another flint... They weren't really giving anything up with that trade!

Rocker said, to the camera and no else, that she should have played her idols. He's just dumb, ok?

Pretty obvious that he has only watched the last 2 seasons of Survivor most likely and the cop having a couple idols at the end of the game made Rocker think it was believable that someone managed to find 2 idols right away.

I'm sensing a Pagongin' is in our future, I hope not but the wind is strong from that direction.

Based on the previews, even with Rocker gone there is still enough stupid people fighting very hard to rise to the top and grab the crown.

Well considering past Survivor seasons. There is likely to be a tribe swap coming up in two weeks, once they are down to 14 players. They seem to be doing a lot to keep the Pagongin from happening with the blood vs water and exile island pairing people up from both tribes every week is bound to create some interesting alliances when they merge!

He would have said no cause they only had an 18 player season and it would gently caress up the numbers for the game.

Jon and Jaclyn seem hosed overall. They can't really side with either threesome because they'll be out at 5. Their best bet is to vote somebody out of one of the threesomes and THEN flip.

I want Baylor vs Jaclyn fire-building challenge in the final four.

That's the one thing that is hurting this season. Jon and Jaclyn got themselves in a power position but haven't been smart enough to make the most of it.

Having 2 people means they can vote one person out of one of the 3 but still have the power to flip and take out someone on the other 3 the next tribal council. They should have an insane amount of power in the game but they have no idea why they are in the position or what they should do in the position. It's 2 people with an idol in the middle of two 3 person alliance.

It was solid misdirection from the editors. No way the first half is going to be about blindsiding John and have John actually get blindsided. It was foreshadowed to early for it to actually happen (at least not this episode).

So Natalie betrayed Jon not by voting out Jaclyn, which she easily could have done and significantly weakened him, but by instead voting out Alec instead of Keith.

I take back any praise I've sent her way, that made no sense whatsoever. Both Jon and Jaclyn will be after her now, so stupid.

The problem with voting out Jaclyn is she would have had to involve Keith and Alec into the plan for it to work... and we all know what happens when you trust Keith with a plan like that.

Kieth has been bad strategically at this game but he's obviously been pretty rock solid socially to still be in the game. He's a challenge threat and has the firefighter story to back him up. He wouldn't be a bad winner at all in a season where actual strategy has mostly not been existent anyway.

A number of challenges this season seem to allow for outside factors (such as wind) moreso than usual. I don't think I particularly care for that. Sucks to know that you can do well and then get hosed because the wind changed.

Every season where they have to balance something is at the mercy of mother nature for changing the outcome. It's kind of what makes the challenges special, sometimes it doesn't matter how strong you are at standing on a pole, some wind, rain, or a fly will get you off balance.

Yes but she increased her odds of winning it. Realistically it's between Kieth and Nat for immunity at final 4. Cause it's either going to be a crazy maze or a balance challenge and Missy can't do either and Jaclyn won't be able to either most likely.
