I posted this earlier. Could someone find and use Garrett's idol or is it considered dead now?

I get this is an attempt to be clever but what in the hell are you even talking about? He held the vote up and looked into the camera like Jeffrey Dahlmer without saying a word. Try watching the show next time before trying to be clever and failing miserably.

I think the producers will grab it and put it back in play to make things interesting. Not sure there are hard and fast rules for this kind of thing.

I wanted to be rooting for Garret this season, but that was the worst Survivor collapse I can ever remember. I mean, when they came back up from the water to see the rice thrown in the fire, even Tasha had a look on her face like, "damn, did I really just align myself with bat **** crazy?"
Probably, but someone has to be strong and be like "look, you're not doing the puzzle, period."

They had a big lead though, and they probably thought that any of their five would be a huge favorite with a lead over both beauty and brawn tribe at puzzles. Couldn't have anticipated her crashing and burning so spectacularly under pressure. At least I sure didn't.

pretty sure you have to pick the puzzle solver before the challenge.

Only the person that found the idol can use it or give it away. You can't steal it or claim someone's that was voted off.

It will go back in play.

Holy crap was that ridiculous. How bad do you have to be to get booted before the crazy lady who dumped all the rice in the fire?

The two main things I took away from that episode were:

-people on survivor like J-tia really grind my gears. I'd bet dollars to donuts she has never physicisted anything nuclear in her freakin life and her listed occupation is about as real as that "special agent" weirdo.
the fact she then went on to throw a nutty and go scorched earth policy just drives that fact home. her confessional cackling about leaving the crazy lady alone was just sooooo standard.

-how the HELLLLL does the poker guy not bring the idol? lol@you gg

lol at david saying he would hire j'tia. what a douche.

So the only two black women are both on the "Brains" tribe. How PC Survivor, too bad they are both ****ing morons.

Garrett was hard to watch. Maybe he should have spent some of those 2000 hours on social game and basic self awareness.

Seriously, when everything blew up how it did, how did Garrett not stop and think, "Well, ****, maybe this wasn't a good idea, I might be forced to play the idol tonight now"?

I'm not saying he should have been a lock to play it, but he didn't even take it so the thought didn't even go through his mind.

Lol at Kass, though. From trying to point any blame whatsoever on Garrett for the rice and then also the little smirk on her face when she knew he was about to be voted off, when all she was doing was destroying her tribes chances of winning any challenge and keeping someone who just threw away all of their food.

Based on his showing, I'm kind of surprised that gman was posting itt. I wonder if he knew prior to the airing of yesterday's show just how terrible his Survivor game was.

And who is that someone going to be? Would you step up and take the risk, this early on in the game?

Also, all we had seen from J'tia at that point is that she tried to build a shelter and failed. Building a shelter is completely different to solving a puzzle. They had no real reason to believe she was going to be terrible at it, plus she probably wanted a chance to redeem herself.

About the episode, I'm not gonna lie. At first I thought the open forum was genius. And then the camera goes to Spencer, who explains how terrible Garrett's plan was. That's where I thought: This Spencer dude is pretty cool, I like him.
I think the open forum would've worked perfectly with 2 dumb, young females. But in this tribe it was pretty damn bad :/.

As a poker player, you should be able to adjust to your competition. Garrett didn't adjust and that's a mistake. If you shove river as a bluff when the flush card comes in against someone who is just never folding top pair, you don't say "oh well I made the right play, I'm just playing against a moron." You ARE the moron in that situation.

Side note: I don't really even mind Garrett's play of making Kass talk about who she's voting for in front of everyone. It was a bit of an overplay and there were lower variance lines to take for sure, but it could have worked if he played it right. Instead it blew up in his face and he did a horrendous job of damage control. He was even gifted an easy boot with J'Tia tossing the rice out and he punted in that spot too.

Clearly he's a phenomenal poker player, but perhaps Survivor really is just that stressful and he wasn't mentally prepared for it.

1. No reason to assume at that point that J'Tia would be bad at puzzles.

2. Its weird that Garrett didn't bring his idol to tribal, but that's like #999 on the power rankings of mistakes he made. If you can't feel confident not playing an idol when there's a rice tosser on your tribe, then you will literally never hold it for more than one council. Suggesting he should have played it is results oriented and advocates an incredibly weak-tight strategy.

I think Garrett's mistakes can be summed up by

Technically she never actually touched anything har.
I can't even imagine how uncomfortable I would feel sitting there pointing and ordering my entire tribe around without lifting a finger. So dumb and unaware.
