Torn between wanting Tori around to root against her, and wanting her out because she's an anti-vaxxer IRL. Bonding with nerds by talking about Harry Potter. Lmao

I feel like these blindfold challenges should be phased out of Survivor...at some point someone is going to get concussed or some sort of serious injury from this poo poo.

I recall from pregame interviews that Daniel worked on the Jeb Bush campaign which explains a lot.

if thats true that is really really funny

In his introductory video, Daniel, a Cincinnati native who now lives in Connecticut, described himself as “technically a lawyer,” though he currently works as a law clerk for a federal judge in Michigan. According to his LinkedIn profile, this judge for whom Daniel clerked from 2020-2021 was Raymond Kethledge, a George W. Bush-appointed Court of Appeals judge who began his tenure in 2008. Kethledge was widely reported by the press in 2018 to be a top contender for then-President Donald Trump‘s pick to replace Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court. Trump’s pick for the role would eventually go to Brett Kavanaugh.

When asked by EW what real-life secrets he will refrain from telling his fellow castaways, Daniel responded that, though he has made a “strategic decision” to be more or less honest about everything, “the only real thing [which] I will do everything I can to hide is that I am of a classical liberal persuasion.” He added that he has worked for the presidential campaigns of Mitt Romney in 2012 and Jeb Bush in 2016, though when it came to today’s American conservative movement, Daniel said, “it’s a very different world now.”

Jenny's interview with Dalton Ross is pretty good. She gives good insights into the tribe dynamics and more of the tribal council. She says Hai called out Daniel at that TC for playing both sides, and that revelation is duplicity was part of why Daniel was acting so frazzled. Also that her and Hai did not vibe (As an Asian person I was hoping they would preseason but realized very quick they were two very different people and that wasn't going to happen) and that Lydia was afraid of confrontation, running away whenever it would just be the two of them hanging out.

Hai and Lydia (probably) seized power in an insurrection against the ruling majority without really intending to do it. Wild

I disagree, he says in postgame interviews he did think it was Chanelle and he didn't use the shot in the dark so the simplest explanation is that he was blindsided.

It seems to me that an example of the walking talking caricature of the worst possible gay Republican is Colton Cumbie.

Oh Tori. Casting gold even though she is definitely quite insufferable IRL

Technically he disabled all the comments on his instagram post because of it. You can hear more about it here:

Lindsay exit press:

You and Maryanne both made comments about the way Jonathan was talking to and treating women on the beach. What was the issue there?

To put it in a quick sentence, Jonathan's a misogynist. Or at least it felt that way on the island. I'm not someone who's going to be talked to that way in real life. In real life, I would never have accepted being spoken to that way for myself or anybody else that I would've seen that happen [to], but it's a social game so you really can't say that. In my mind, that was very infuriating internally for me. So I figure, "How else can I do this? You know what? I'm going to beat you at the one thing that you're good at, and I'll just beat you in challenges instead. So that was my little way to get back at you considering I can't voice myself in a social game that way."

The edit made it seem like at first you guys were close and then started to drift apart. Is that the case?

I would say up [until] day five we were close. And then me and Jonathan had a kind of bout together where I started noticing more of his true colors. At that point, I started noticing [things], but I was thinking, "Oh, maybe he is under fed. Maybe it's just because I'm a very outspoken person. He's very alpha. Maybe it's because I'm kind of alpha too."

And then as time went on, I started being able to gather like, "Okay, this is a trend that I notice." So no, that was under my skin for a while. He was part of my four of Taku, but he wasn't somebody I was really going back and forth with on strategy at all. I noticed that I couldn't tell Jonathan a strategy, Omar had to do it. So when Omar would pitch it, Jonathan would listen. If I pitched it, [it] would get neglected.

Your bi-annual cup of postseason drama comes from Omar talking on RHAP about his negative Ponderosa experience due to certain things Drea said about and to him. It's the last 20 minutes of the video (start around 3:08:00), someone on Reddit also provided a transcript if you just want to read through what he said:
