Q is a complete chaos elemental

Why does everyone want him to stay? Because he's funny at camp sometimes?

Bonkers poo poo this season

Q's arrogance is more evident in confessionals and what he's passing for strategy than how he talks to people directly

His offered help to Bhanu was obviously self serving at that point in the game as well, admittedly to an unknown degree but I don't think that's a very good counterexample

If you're curious about Rob: Yes Rob is still there! But it really doesn't feel rigged toward him or anything. He's been pretty self-aware.

I do wonder about the no elimination day, but yeah it's been fun enough

I think Q is planning to turn his Survivor appearance into something more once he gets home. He wants to monetize some persona he imagines he's building for himself as a clever and honorable strategist. The send me home it's the right thing to do and all the hide and seek analysis etc

I think he probably isn't pleased with how it actually looks on TV but that's my guess

Whatever his intentions, asking to be voted out of a contest for a million dollars makes NO SENSE unless he's having a mental breakdown or it's some braingenius strategy and nobody should rely on him ever again for their own game

Being the biggest strongest dude in the era of No Food has to play a serious toll on your ability to think straight. Nobody's feeling the calorie deficit like him other than possibly Ms Allergies to Everything

Not that it excuses anything but it makes me wonder about Jeff's supposed crush on big strong men

It’s real; look at how he treated Jonathan in 42 and even Hunter in this episode during the challenge

“Sure you can go back and help your teammates on the rope bridge” like what???

I mean that was probably explained in the walkthrough that we don't see

Are you suggesting Jeff just made that up on the spot? Could be of course, but there's no evidence

Rubber Chicken

Seems like if he was just making it up on the spot to help Hunter he wouldn't make him go back across his own bridge and around. It seemed like he was referencing established rules.

But maybe not.

I'd rank Charlie right on par with Kenzie. He has immunity wins and a good position but he hasn't really made any strategic decisions and he had the flub of that one Venus vote. Kenzie has been swimming the Yanu upstream and has generally good social and strategic prowess. She did just get excluded from the Tiff vote but there are good reasons for that which aren't her fault; she would have been the most likely to squeal. But she still has a good position and she's played an active game.

If I were a juror and FTC was between Charlie and Kenzie right now I'd vote for Kenzie.

I think more people just like him though. Don't overlook how many jurors over the years just vote for people they actually like and ignore the gameplay spreadsheet

You seem to think that’s a bad or invalid way to play?

Not at all, probably one of the best. At least as something you weigh heavily, not the only criteria.

I think gamebot checklist "resume" mode is a lot less fun but it's definitely true that big moves can amuse and impress

A minor coincidence.

Only seems odd because if she's WEALTHY why Applebee's specifically

I just meant it's at odds with her manufactured persona but I phrased it badly. Probably just truth peeking through the bullshit cloud really

She's got to suffer through everyone going, then everyone coming back and being like "It's soooo good, it was delicious, I couldn't even eat it all!"

That was really lovely of them but that's not when the meltdown happened.

And again I think the meltdown is understandable but acting proud of it later is much more embarrassing

I dislike Liz and think her reaction was very obnoxious but it’s weird that people can’t just accept that she visits Applebees with her kid or has food allergies. Like how she deals with these things or talks about them is one thing. But she’s probably not like whatshisname just making up dead grandmas. She probably just likes Applebees.

The whole thing is rigged! All actors! Applebee's Deepfakes!

I've never understood claims like this because that's a broad category (not saying you're full of poo poo, genuinely confused)

Arthropods? All of them?
Mollusks? All of them?

What about squid?

Rubber Chicken

Oh i definitely don't question anyone's food restrictions in practice but I'm intellectually curious because even "fish" is a wildly broad category before you add mollusks and arthropods

It feels like if someone said they're allergic to all "land animals" because they can't have pork
