Finally had a chance to watch. Goodness Maryanne and Tori would be absolutely exhausting to be around, for different reasons. I think I mostly either like or am neutral on everyone else so far (also I can't actually hate on Maryanne really, to be fair, I just would not be able to function around that). I swear to god I know someone exactly like Jenny from somewhere but I cannot place it in my mind. Also as an aside, Romeo's shirt in his picture in the OP makes it look like part of his torso is just missing when it's in timg mode. Oh also I tried to use the steam sign in to join the tribal council game but it just redirects me back to the login screen every time I try to log in.

Studio posted:Lithium is not a great example though, because as far as I know it's Super Hard and Dangerous to wean someone off of it, and requires testing in like, extreme Survivoresque circumstances. I actually think Jackson could've made it onto a later season had he been more forthcoming about not being able to get off of Lithium, but I'm just watching from the sidelines. afaik dehydration and undernourishment are both an incredibly bad idea when on lithium which is probably the reason Jackson decided to stop taking it for Survivor

Really digging the Romeo/Drea pair. Them piecing together what was happening and then the editing showing it all falling into place was awesome. I'm glad the editors finally figured out it's ok to not show us every event in chronological order (loved the reveal they did with Naseer's idol last season too).

ApplesandOranges posted:Lindsay, Hai and Drea have them. They have to be agreed upon to be used at the same time (kinda like a super idol). Thank you. I wonder if Drea can steal one and what happens if she does. Like does it count as being removed so the other ones remaining gain more power or does it mean there will always be at least two in the game so it can never be an idol.

ninjahedgehog posted:This -- I don't mind it pre-merge but this late in the game all it seems to do is give the majority alliance two bites of the apple, which goes against the intention of pretty much every other gimmick on the show. I mean it's also happened before where the minority becomes the majority in one of the new mini tribes. Or you just have what happened tonight where the majority uses this as an opportunity to take out one of their own because it's easier to swing. I actually don't like it because of the first thing. Would just be a really lovely way to get voted out if you positioned yourself well in a majority. IcePhoenix fucked around with this message at 07:45 on Apr 28, 2022 |

I almost did a winner power rankings last week but am glad I decided to wait because I think I would have had a ton of movement. Explanation on how I rank them: if you take a hypothetical final three from the remaining players, then I expect people in higher tiers to win against those in a lower tier. People in the same tier are a toss up but I still rank them in the order I think they would win even though it's close. These also factor in the potential/likely path they would have to take to get to the end. So using Tori as an example, I'd have put her in tier 1 or 2 last week because everyone kept talking about her as a potential threat and someone they want to get rid of, as well as her ability to create chaos, so surviving all the way to the final would have taken an incredible immunity run or some other impressive plays to boost her case. Anyway Tier 1 Hai Drea -Liked them both before this week too and I think they both only improved their cases. Drea has a ton of power in the game with her advantages even after playing the idol, Hai is who I think most people see as the leader of the majority alliance. Honestly don't think both of them are going to make it to final five. Tier 2 Mike Omar -Everyone seems to love Mike, and he also still has an idol (though I wonder for how long considering Drea's KiP advantage). He's also never really been in trouble I think? Omar playing both sides is kinda risky but if he can pull it off and get to the end because everyone trusts him I think that gives him a lot of clout in final tribal. Tier 3 Maryanne Romeo Jonathan Lindsay -I kind of debated if Lindsay should be in a 4th tier here but I could see her out talking some of the others here. Jonathan I put here not because of what happened at tribal but because he showed before tribal that he really has no mind for strategy. Legitimately wouldn't shock me if he made the finals, honestly. But it also wouldn't shock me if he gets voted out for being a challenge beast still. Maryanne I think still gets left out of too much strategy and Romeo got left outside the majority and has to depend on others (especially Omar) to survive too much. Curious what anyone else thinks, I mainly just like to do these to see how close I was at the end of the season.

Nihonniboku posted:I really like Hai a lot, but I worry that people are going to recognize what a threat he is to win like with Ricard last season, and they're going to vote him out sooner or later. yeah, if I were doing rankings on who I think is going to actually win it would be a lot different. Though I might put Drea at the top of that list anyway. e: also I forgot to mention this earlier but is it just me or does Hai have a nasty infection on one of his shoulders

That was a fun episode. Hai's reaction to the votes was great. I'm glad he can go get all the skin falling off his body fixed now.curiousCat posted:Sad to see Hai go. Really thought that was going to turn the other way -- I'm shocked they've allowed Jonathan to survive so long. Jonathan isn't a threat imo. He showed he has no mind for strategy last episode and I don't think the Jury will give him a "wow he won a bunch of immunities" win, unless he's up against two others who have nothing going for them either. Most of the tribe seems to like him though which may work in his advantage. Anyway here's my updated tiers Omar Drea Lindsay Mike Maryanne Jonathan Romeo (yes the extra space was intentional)

Jonathan is actually a valuable ally in that he's always got a good chance to win immunity so your target doesn't.

Rankings time! Omar Lindsey Mike Maryanne Jonathan Romeo Not really anything different other than Lindsey continuing to move up. One thing I worry about with Omar is if he gets burned for being kind of a snake and betraying people's trust after what Drea said but I still think he should win against anyone else. Mike and Lindsey were hard to rank but I am going off my gut that people will respect her gameplay a little more than his social game.

if they wanted to rig the game they can just have production tell her before tribal that Jeff will give her a sign for which box is the right one, something as simple as where he rests his hands or if he taps his fingers, and just cut the edit to not show anything. It doesn't need to involve gadgets and trick lids or hidden compartments in the boxes.

garthoneeye posted:I don’t count Jeff knowing which box has the flame as rigging at all. That’s fundamental to the premise of the setup. If Jeff doesn’t know which box holds the flame the probabilities don’t change and it’s much less interesting. yeah if the host doesn't know the answers it's way less fun It would be hilarious to see someone die inside if he revealed the flame though

Saying Lindsay has only been a physical threat is unfair, she wasn't the ringleader Omar or Hai were but she's probably been the most actively strategic of the remaining five. It was her idea to have Mike give Omar his idol to protect it from Drea, after all. Her biggest mistake is hyperfocusing on Jonathan, really, especially once they got down to seven and his inability to strategize was out there. Anyway, final tier list Maryanne Lindsay Mike Jonathan just pretend I put an obnoxious amount of empty lines here Romeo Maryanne is going to have the most recent big move when final tribal comes around and recency bias is a big thing, and she's either the most or second most (Mike) liked person around the camp. She also might have to make fire to get there, which I think would wrap it up if she succeeds. I still think Lindsay's combination of physical and strategic prowess is the best remaining in the game, and she was in on most of the big moves before tonight. Mike and Jonathan will just come down to if people respect social or physical more I think. I feel like if it's those two and Romeo that Mike probably has more "guaranteed" votes on the jury than Jonathan so the mathematical 50/50 between tossups would favor him. Nobody is going to vote for Romeo lol. e: actually, Maryanne also has an idol that literally nobody knows about so if she busts it out on final 5 to make another flashy play it's probably a wrap if she's in the finals, so I should just put her in her own tier.

Oh, yeah blame deflectors pretty much always crash and burn at final tribal, don't they? I suppose if he's getting ousted before the final episode it's a much more entertaining edit to show him how they did instead of closer to how he apparently was acting since it won't really confuse the audience when he gets shredded at FTC.

Maryanne's case is also boosted by a pretty weak final five in terms of game resume Jonathan's case is entirely in his immunity wins Mike's case is entirely in his likeability (which is a rough case when sitting next to Maryanne) Romeo is one of the GOAT goats Lindsay is really the only one who can challenge her.

Antiquated Pants posted:I don't understand the case for Jonathan's immunity wins, the dude has barely won any individual challenges, he was beaten by Tori twice, Heather has won a few times, even Omar in this last one. The dude is Aquaman, I'll give you that. If the challenge involves water, he will win it, but everything else really seems impossible for him. He's only ever won immunity when there were two winners, granted the water balance one he won first place, and he's never won an individual reward challenge and his strategy has been laughable (and noticed by everyone). Jonathan is a goat, IMO, bring his bulky-rear end to the end alongside Romeo. He won last week in the Jesus Challenge against Lindsay But otherwise I agree with you! People always prop up the challenge beast as a threat but that only matters when they have a game outside it and he does not. I've been saying for weeks that he's a super valuable asset because he can potentially keep immunity off of your actual target.
