If Erik goes with Andrea it's 3 vs 3 right?

Yes after this boot it would have been 3 vs. 3. As Brenda would have had 3, Andrea 2, and Eddie 2.

Sorry I was talking next week if Brenda gone.

So next vote should be Eddie then who after that?

I would think they want to keep Sherrie if possible so Dawn/Cochrane take out Erik and then Brenda. Or do Dawn/Cochrane turn on each other?

Yeah no problems I realized what you meant and ninja'd but it would be 3vs3 with the added benefit of the HII, if he goes with Andrea.

Had a feeling Andrea would fall victim to FPS. She could have stayed vanilla until final 5 and then have an idol in her pocket to play there. So terrible.

-10000% chance Cochran is in trouble next ep.

Most likely to win order?
1 Cochrane: Strategist, hasnt angered anyone that seems bitter
2 Brenda: Well liked?
2 Erik: See Brenda
4 Dawn: If anyone left has embittered people, its Dawn?
5 Eddie: Floater, if makes it to F3 very low chance
5 Sherrie: See Eddie

Did Andrea learn nothing from last time? So easy to fake try and save Eddie and then you get his vote at final.

So easy to just chill and play cool until f5 here.

Still one of the HOAT girls to play.

Andrea's understanding of how a jury votes at FTC is probably the biggest problem she had. She seemed so afraid of brenda at a FTC, but we all seem that she has no chance. Maybe she just fabricated this fear becuase she wanted to get rid of someone outside of eddie and people would go with brenda the easiest.

I mean andreas main obstacle is getting rid of cochran and dawn before FTC as they are her biggest threats. She played the game too hard and too fast at a time she didnt really need to especially with the idol in her hands.

To Andrea's credit, at least she didnt seem bitter going out. As a matter of fact, this seems like it could be a decidedly non-bitter jury in comparison to many. Bodes well for our hero.

All aboard the Coch-train!!!

Who wins a f3 with ErikvEddievBrenda

Either Brenda or Erik never Eddie
I'd say Brenda

First time that i see that lesser players have numbers. Really should be Cochran/dawn gone next. Despite poor edit,no reason Brenda and Erik shouldn't make finals. Also, how do Eddie and reynold not even coordinate there vote. Barely even playing game

The first challenge proved Eddie is a real life version of Homer Simpson.

They run the 1st challenge 1000x and Eddie would still never win. If anything jumping off makes him even less of a threat because he's not even trying.

Eddie and reynold voted for Sherri and Erik presumably because they were mad that they both lied to the 3 amigos.

Pretty sure Eddie would win. That f3 obv never happens based on edits

I disagree that Phillip falling on the sword was not possible to predict--it fits with Phillip. I agree that announcing the vote as being Andrea could have worked out more favorably as it was also very possible to predict that ANDREA certainly wasn't going to fall on her sword for the rest of the alliance. I predict that she would immediately take public action against someone else in the alliance and that could cause some favorable shifts for Malcolm and Co.

Also, he had no chance in that challenge. Those two girls could stand up there all day. Might as well eat some donuts, Homer.

I just think it's so funny how paranoid she's been at times during this game, and then sits there and gets voted out with an idol in her pocket. ...When the play she is suggesting is not very good for the people who she is suggesting it to, and yet they are apparently agreeing to it without much fuss. Not suspicious at all?

LOL. Take note here, Corrine, at how you snipe someone in your alliance. You agree to do what they say...and then do what you say instead.

Was this a good move for Erik? Meh. Andrea is a threat to him winning challenges AND the endgame. She plucked the idol he found right out of his fingers. She's initiating the first move against the core alliance and showing proclivities towards Eddie...another person who is a threat to Erik winning challenges. I think the move was fine for Erik. Also, one of Andrea's beefs with Brenda was that Brenda was a challenge threat...which is what Erik is. Not hard to anticipate that the next time he's at risk, Andrea might be pointing a finger at him.

Yeah, Andrea should have paid more attention to Brenda's edit and she would have known that she was drawing pretty dead.

Except no, she should have paid attention to how FTC from the other 25 or so seasons went down, where people like brenda(outside of edit) would only win over people that are hated, so she isnt in trouble. Her/cochran/dawn were running an alliance without pissing people off, their only threats are each other.

I mean cochran picked up on this, so the fact she didnt shows her ineptitude in endgame/survivor. She understand the basics, and is hot, outside of that shes meh. But she probably still has a great chance in any season due to her hotness/likeability/physical ability/ and decent strategy mind. She would be better off taking a little more of a back seat role in an alliance, where she is high up in the alliance in terms of information flow, but avoids trying to dictate actions unless the other option is strictly bad for her endgame.

I think Andrea saw Brenda as a threat to herself* and targeted her for that reason. I think Andrea's main problem wasn't in misunderstanding Brenda's chances of winning. Her main problem was in overlooking the threat right in front of her face...Cochran. Like he was going to fall for all the bull$#!% Andrea was spouting and torpedo his own game for her benefit. He knows she has a connection with Eddie. He knows she has a HII. He knows she's pretty good in challenges. And she's asking him to target people who he has good working relationships with. She really thought that was going to fly?

*Brenda very competitive at the kinds of the things that Andrea is also good at, so possibly capable of preventing Andrea from winning immunity in spots where if Brenda was gone, she would likely ship it. We don't know if Andrea knows Brenda was whispering her name as a possible boot during Malcolm's Tribal Council, but if Andrea is deciding that she might like to get rid of Brenda...she might anticipate the converse. AND, I would figure that at least some of why Andrea was serving up Brenda was because she was trying to keep Eddie around, and therefore had to finger point at someone else...why not Brenda?

Not sure if it was mentioned but the strategy of not letting Eddie know what was up was important. Not that it should not have been obvious in this case, but a couple of times this season blindsides have backfired because one too many people were brought in on the plan.
