first impressions: Dan seemed self-important and full of poo poo. "Just making the merge is winning to me," "To me making the final 3 would be winning," "Getting to the family visit would be a win." gently caress off! Lauren has the over-the-top energy of a Disney sitcom character and is giving me potential Big Wendy but less crazy vibes. Elaine might be pretty iconic

If Elaine or Vince go home these people dropped the ball because clearly that's not the first choice of most of these people. Having the old hockey guy should cinch it.

I didn't mind Ronnie in the preseason coverage but Elaine caught into him immediately and he definitely was out numbered. Only way he could have survived is if a bunch of scared people voted against their preferences.

Like, Noura sucks but it wasn't her that got the vote flipped, it was the middle of the tribe who wanted to take over because they didn't like how obviously those other 3 were sitting on top. I do think there were some insecurities involved in targeting Molly, some of the things they said about her being Parv etc were... curious. But big move by Lauren for setting up this flip and putting her faction in power.

That's really not a bad cover story. And it's ironic that he felt more comfortable with the women's alliance than Karishma seemingly did.

No one is going to believe whatever bullshit you come up with anyway  Anyway yeah apparently Vince felt there could be an incoming swap before the next vote and that the idol would be very useful in that situation. He thought he was firmly with the women and thus safe. Oops mancalamania posted:Just speculation on my part but I suspect Karishma was just conferring with the Lairo women to make sure they all thought Vince wasn't playing the idol. If Vince was going to play it, Karishma knows her neck is on the line (and presumably the Lairo women reassured her that she'd be fine and Vince wasn't playing anything), so it makes sense she'd want to check in to make sure none of that had updated info and/or a different read on Vince since before Tribal.

curiousCat posted:Karishma and Noura both made the swap lol 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.

Sand Monster posted:The always successful and well reasoned strategy of reducing your chances of winning tribal immunity by playing the post-merge game before the merge and dragging along a huge challenge anchor. Now, what I think is going to be interesting here is the new thing Aaron and Missy are working on over at the other tribe. After idiotically blindsiding Dean and then expecting his gratitude, they turned what would have been a functional tribe into a mess going into the swap. They got exceedingly fortunate to draw even numbers in their swap tribe and did so without landing either Dean or Karishma. A miracle! And yet they’re still preparing to flip. I think that’s actually the right call and one that could set a lot of the tone for what happens going forward. The truth is they already blew up their original tribe and it’s good they recognize it, because not only were they 2 down in the numbers, they were 4 down when you count the people they left primed to flip (and 3 down even if Noura finally gets picked off). It’s not a salvageable position even if they won out in the 4-4 stalemate, and they’d be among the first targets right afterward. Elaine knows they’re sketchy from last vote. Will she realize she can’t trust them? Can Aaron and Missy build something new that can protect them at merge? If so, could Vokai end up splitting into two factions somewhere down the line?

I think this was Karishma's best episode to date. She was a little less mopey and a lot more proactive. Maybe she's going to rebound and become something more than a goat! Kellee looks like she's in a very pretty position.

It’s no fair to have sand speedily streaming from a jar while you’re still getting around to explaining the offer, and to then get on Elaine for agreeing before she heard the whole thing! Last week I posted that I liked Aaron and Missy realizing Lairo was toast and jumping, so I’m not sure how I feel on them jumping back. The further behind Lairo is come merge, the less pressing it is for Vokai to vote one of you out, and the better chance you have to avoid being the merge boot. Plus, you’re in good with some people and can maybe hang in there until the game opens up. It’s still not a great position to be in, but I think it’s better than being the front runner for the merge boot spot. This is where last week’s decision to vote out Tom pays dividends, though. Even if Lairo uses their new control to claw back some numbers, pulling Dean back in is not guaranteed, and Karishma probably I s a long shot. I wonder if Missy still thinks Karishma is her extra vote. IcePhoenix posted:Aaron is out after the merge as soon as one side decides they have the numbers to cut him anyway. Elaine will probably get the Christian treatment once they get to 7 or 8 remaining.

Yeah but it’s like, “wow such a rash decision, I hadn’t even explained the task yet.” THE SAND WAS GUSHING OUT OF THE BOTTLE DUDE, I think Rob would have barely had time to finish introducing the task, there was definitely no time for questions or negotiation, I don’t fault Elaine at all. The hourglass changes everything! What do they expect!

Vernacular posted:I think at this point in Survivor lore, where players are aware of the broad range of possible advantages that might come from an Island of the Idols/Ghost Island/Exile Island etc. type of place, the Vokai should've had a contingency plan in place to mitigate the effects of what was really a fairly unsurprising turn of events. Like it would've been an easy fix: "if an advantage shifts the vote away from a tie, we go back to plan B and not make a fuss about it during TC". ApplesandOranges posted:The vote block has only appeared once before and the vote steal only twice, so it's not surprising that it might not have occurred to them. That said, vote blocks or vote steals are out there these days, and extra votes are passed out like candy. Any of those things would break the tie and one of those being in the game really shouldn't be that shocking. They could have had a contingency for that. I do understand their thinking in shifting the target to Aaron but it was risky as well, but even if it had worked, they'd have been voting out a potential ally... maybe nobody was really that warm on him.

As far as them acting cocky and overconfident though, that’s part of the game plan when you’re going into a potential rocks situation. If they know you won’t flip, then they know they’ll have to if they want to avoid rocks. And they did do a good job having a unified tribe, and the other side did a really bad job at that.

STAC Goat posted:Although I guess the main argument I've heard/read is that all the whispering scrambling chaos might have spooked Aaron into changing his vote. So if they had just had a simplified plan and didn't panic maybe he would have flipped? But that seems like a complete unknown until Aaron gets out and tells us something. I figure it’s more likely he already had his mind made up, but that situation seems at least possible, and I feel like at some point they have to have discussed the possibility of one of the ioi people potentially having an extra vote. Also, I don’t like all the extra advantages either, but then this being the best ep so far probably encourages the producers on this kind of thing, and I bet they don’t notice all the good stuff that DOESN’T happen because of the twists.

She can cover her tracks. And I think she has enough people backing her that even the NOTS bringing up her name isn't making me scared of her. But I don't think she can cover her tracks. If Noura is asked something straight up, she does not lie. She didn't lie about targeting Jamal, she didn't lie about floating a woman's alliance. Can she start by denying she voted Jack when Jamal (who just idoled her) asks? Can she leave Kellee out of her story?

Karishma did okay in the challenge this episode, but at the very end, when there was just that final piece, she scrambled out of the way to let Jamal do it. He ended up needing a second person to pick up the other side of that piece so it could be dropped straight down into the opening. They could’ve won! Also funny was Elaine on the other side seeing the obviously wrong pieces and the people sitting out with a nice view screaming her down aggressively.
