Pony: Troyzan for being the only remotely insightful rival to get anywhere in One World.
Poison: Ozzy for not being completely replaced by Malcolm.

That seems like a huge boost for minority alliances out of nowhere. Interesting that Jeff presents it as taking vote splits away since too many people were getting a free look.

Dunno if this is a good idea but all-stars is the time to try it since these are people who have no trouble orchestrating splits and often carry unbreakable pre-game alliances.

Ciera thought the new tiebreaker rule would be a personal advantage and was immediately booted. I can't imagine a better result.

Production hosed the cast so hard on that challenge. The practice/b-roll team ran the challenge with flags locating all the buried bags.

How well received was this season here? I'm enjoying it so far, but I also don't know anything that happens later that may ruin it (Tyler Perry Idol, Boston Rob running the board at the end, etc.). I don't even know boot order or winner or anything. Five episodes in, Tai is basically the best person on the show and the two guys on the brawn tribe are the loving worst.
It is extremely difficult to talk about the reaction without spoiling the winner. It's an ok to good season with very obvious flaws. It's not a dud. Most people loved Tai and saw Jason and Scot as jerks. I have a soft spot for Scot being able to Tall Guy his way through challenges. The elaborately hidden idols were a fun change from years of tree holes/roots that people found without any clues.

It was a final 2 against Woo. He definitely deserved to win under the circumstances but Woo completely blew it.

Tony's ugliest play was having a special idol (playable after votes are read) and lying at Tribal about it being playable at the final 4. Jeff agreed it was a special idol but would not comment on the lie. "Jeff did a great job of not jeopardizing my game. He just went along with it."

It was something (breakfast food?) and coffee. Malcolm smoked the finish of throwing stuff to knock over pins. Culpepper came in a distant second once he got his aim back.

Tai should be more of a target since he has a rep for being a guy who will blow up your game.

An idol buried in clear sand near the tribe flag should have been a lot riskier to dig for.

lol, whelp.

Tai casually breaking the clue's intent ("requires cooperation" my rear end)

Also, revealing the HII there is stupid, right?
Yeah it was a really half-assed cooperation requirement compared to the Raoh Kong idol tool stuff.
Probably a dumb move to expose it to everyone rather than his 1 core partner but Tai is not a good player.

I'm not at all sure that's a valid reason to eliminate someone at this point. If Sandra takes this season down by playing a "gently caress all of you I have won two seasons of Survivor I am better at this" it will be the most amazing thing, though.
Ciera - Overplayed
Tony - Overplayed
Caleb - Too many same-season friends
Malcolm - Physical Threat

Caleb is the one that looks weird to me.

The downside of not making a move is apparently zero since Zeke didn't suggest he was being lied to about the target.
The upside is moving up a rung in a smaller alliance and making everyone trust him less?
