Spoilers episode 18:

God I hate Mat and everything to do with his storyline. Why is everyone so dead serious about him being voted out? Why is Steve talking like he lost his kid in a car accident? Why is Mat looking like they murdered his whole family?

They weren't even trying to hide the fact the 4some of champions were buddy buddy, yet they're extremely flabbergasted one of them got voted out. We have a goddamn 70+ year old woman throwing a temper tantrum and sabotaging the fire for gods sake. What in the actual **** is going on?

Benji messed up pretty bad imo. Once Shonee told him about the vote steal he should have realised that if he played his idol this tribal and then used the vote steal at the next tribal they would have been almost guaranteed to get to final 6 with a strong 3 person alliance.

Season is getting good now. No one is super good at the game, but that makes it fun to watch. Brian is starting to get a lot of content so it's probably either winning or he's out next week, if he makes in through I think he'll be the one to beat.

Spoilers episode 19 and 20:

Yeah Grubby didn't end up having a great week. Seems like Shonee might be the favourite to win now. Shonella's UTR strategy doesn't make for great tv but it is working very well.

I loved Brian shutting Shane down at tribal council.

Amazing to see the difference between an Olympic swimmer (even though she’s 61) and an average joe in the water challenges

Spoiler to episode 21 (Monday episode):

I really don't think it was that bad of a move.

He has his own idol so the risk of Sharn having one is diminished. If he doesn't believe she has an idol then her only way of staying in the game is if they split the vote and Sharn votes for Shane. If she does play an idol then he isn't at risk because of the immunity necklace and getting out one of Shonee, Fenella and Monika is probably better for him than getting Shane out.

In a final 4 scenario with those three girls he was most likely the person that was going to be targeted. Now however one of Shane and Sharn will be there and I'm sure Monika and Shonee are aware that having either of those two get to the end is a sure way to lose.

I really hope Shane doesn't win, rest is at least somewhat deserving in my book.

Sharn: She definitely deserves it the most. She is the only one that actually worked on social relationships outside her alliance, kept the champions safe during tribe swap and seems decently aware of what's going on (except the Benji thing but I really think Benji valued their alliance as well but just had no choice but to screw her over to get out Mat)

Shonee: Played a decent under-the-radar game, actually won a challenge and put up a good fight and seems to be decently fun as a person, making jokes with Jonathan during challenges etc, which is just crucial in a social game like this.

Brian: I don't think he's terrible, but he definitely has Russell issues in that he thinks he's the **** and refuses to do a little bit of faking in order to have some basic social relationships. There's times where his attitude definitely helped him because he's not scared to tell what his plans are so you know he won't be scheming behind your back. If you think he's being "sly" like Shane your social skills are just beyond terrible because his facial expressions tell you everything you need to know and if he's not responsive it's clear as day he doesn't wanna work with you. That being said, he definitely ****ed up last 2 episodes by not caring enough and working towards getting jury votes.

Shane: She seems to be the only one who thinks she's playing a great game when in reality she's doing... nothing? At least that's what it seems like based on edits. She praises herself for being a "double agent" when in reality nobody really spoke to her at all, she didn't even talk to monica until like 2 weeks ago because she "doesn't like her" (her own words) She just sits there having fake awkward conversations with people that have nothing in common with her while Sharn is running around working her ass off to get **** done.

Spoiler finale obviously:

**** me

Then again Sharn just blew it herself. I really don't understand why she started begging and getting defensive all of a sudden. Just say "I heard a very vague rumor but didn't buy it for a second and didn't want to create chaos, but DURING tribal I got more suspicious so I decided to play MY idol FOR Matt. If that's not being loyal I dunno what is".

I'm gonna go ahead and assume the 50 day experience took a big toll on cognitive functions and since everyone just gave Shane yes/no questions there wasn't much room for her to **** up. Shane's opening pitch was terrible as well, they just went easy on her cos she's not a lawyer.

Also damn, Grubby really surprised me he definitely knows how to give people a hard time. Not so sure he would've lost to Sharn there either.

Na that jury was obsessed with integrity and honestly (except for Benji and Sam). That's how Shane won, they saw her as a nice person who didn't screw anyone over (except for people they wanted gone anyway like Jacqui and Lydia). Brian might get the contenders but I think all the champions go Sharn.

David is the best Survivor character in years. Finally made me change my avatar.

I am slowly going from hate to love to love to love.

The way he embraces his villain role is fun to watch.

By the way, how has nobody had the urge to make a comment that all the popcorn already on the floor?
"The people are sooooo duuumb!" - David 2019

Luke crying while shoving the most amount of popcorn possible into his face was one of the very few moments of "message from home" I ever enjoyed.

Dave not caring about his family message
