Not enough hot people this season

This is one of those seasons where they skewed older with the castaways, everyone looks like they work in an independent coffee shop from the 90s.

It's Probst's first season in charge of casting, and I guess he doesn't like mactors as much as Spillman did?

Noura is going to be the person who, in a tribe swap where her tribe is up 4-3, flips to the other side and makes the merge.

They must do 3-4 takes of the family visit to get the desired amount of crying. I’m never that emotional when I see my mom.

Reddit points out (S40 casting spoilers) that the clips they used from past seasons were all reintroducing S40 players - Rob, Parv, Yul. I think that's a neat way to do it!

Feels like we’re in prime over-playing season.

I really didn’t like the Chelsea boot. I wasn’t really a Chelsea fan but strategically, you think you’re going into a swap and you’re going to leave the player weeping about being on the bottom and piss another guy off instead of just taking the clean boot? What I really don’t understand also is how after the Dean vote gets shut down, Missy didn’t take a hint, said how about Chelsea instead, and then that somehow goes through?? I don’t get how they made that happen.

The best explanation I have is Tom, who they didn't show as part of any strategy talks. Karishma + Missy + Aaron + Tom is four/eight votes, and if Tom was on board with booting Chelsea that makes that the path of least resistance for Elizabeth+Elaine.

The thing that confuses me the most is why Elizabeth and Elaine were so bullish about getting rid of Dean in the first place. When's the last time tribes -didn't- swap after four boots?

There have been a few after-two-boots swaps, but the last time a swap was later than 4 was Caramoan, 13 seasons ago.

This is a really baffling quote. Maybe Jeff has a bunch of ex-whitehouse interns in charge of delivering him public feedback.

It's a joke. He's using "irony", the literary device in which you say something but mean its opposite.

I guess I'm in the minority, which I will accept. It's just hard for me to imagine a situation, which must be occuring, where you don't vote out the person who has to be (literally) dragged through competitions. It's like guaranteeing you'll be back at tribal again.

I don't think they care that much. If they lose two more tribals and have to vote out Dean and Noura, then there's 13 players left and you're at the merge.

Noura and Dean

man this plan had so many moving parts and relied on noura being able to keep her mouth shut and I'm shocked it worked

Noura and Dean even credibly fake-fought at tribal and convinced the rest of the tribe they were at odds! Noura!

And I'm not even sure Kellee is better off than she was before!

Jamal thought Dean was voting Noura and it was going to be 6-1. With the idol on Noura it’s 0-0 and on the revote the 5 Vokais can vote Karishma.

That said it is kind of needlessly risky. If Dean is playing this idol he obviously doesn’t trust the Noura plan and if he doesn’t trust the Noura plan there’s no guarantee he still votes Noura. I guess Jamal was banking on Dean thinking his idol play was a “I probably don’t need this but just in case...” kind of play.

I understand abstractly "Jamal thought Dean was voting Noura" but, also, very much, Jamal thought that Dean was dumb enough to idol out Noura instead of literally anybody else??
