Aye we've had a whole post merge of over the top foreshadowing about how shes going to make a big move late, even inserting an (factually incorrect) segment about how Michelle making a huge move late was why she won Koh Rong.

Think everything is all pointing to Aubry getting given the credit for the Cirie boot, which could be as late as the final 5 or fire.

I watched his pre season interview with Mike Bloom and it was clear then that he had learned absolutetly nothing about why he lost 48.

He's the sort of player that could play 100 times, make final tribal 60 times and win 0 times.

I like Joe. But he just doesn't understand the game.

Wonder how Joe does his first season if Eva not there. He's a non-remembered nobody.

I don't recall if this has ever been mentioned in this thread, but there's a CBS 48 Hours episode about the suspicion surrounding the death of Joe's sister.

Looool at least that restaurant will be well managed forever

Stupid is as stupid does?

She’s played like 100 days and is in the final 7 of the main event lol. They’re all major players except Joe who will get third place

Repost. Legendary run from Tiff here

It’s a shame she couldn’t follow the rules.

Tiff will play again and id kalshi that

I don't remember ever seeing a disqualified winner before like that Tiff challenge. I'm sure there's probably been a few.

Burton got disqualified because he misspelled a word in the pearl island season.
Not sure if there were others.

Pained to watch Cirie lose near the end again.

Rizo makes it with a known idol once again. Dude just always knows where he’s at in the game. Very curious how it would have gone for him if the other players had seen his season.

Being able to make it to the end with a known idol is actually more embarrassing than a flex. Basically means no one ever sees you as a threat even with the threat level boost of having the idol.

I don’t think I agree with that.

I think he and Soph would have been neck and neck to win 49 if Rizo beats Savannah in fire.

As far as this season, part of it is being an unknown. These people know who Aubry, Cirie, Devens, etc. are. Maybe people know he’s behind to get the jury votes since it’s part popularity contest, especially for a season like this.

But everyone voting these last few Tribals just guaranteed he took a valuable spot in the final 4. That’s threat enough, imo. Cirie is never winning individual immunity. They could have voted her out at final 5. Hell, even the original plan being Tiff. The other 5 weren’t worried about each other, Rizo’s idol or not.

I think it speaks more to his social game and knowing where he’s at to not play it. They could have spooked him into it just one time. He’s had it since day 8.

Also, there have been plenty of worthless players forced to play an idol in the past to flush the idol. And plenty of worthless players voted out because they had an idol and didn't play it.

I know I'm a bigger Rizo fan than most, but I'm not going to be convinced a player that carried an idol into the final 5 in two straight seasons, especially following up season 49 into season 50, is a non-threat.

Hell, Savannah was booted pretty quickly because of her game and Rizo has stuck around because of his game.

I'm not sure I'm buying it that tiff was the person going home. Just made up drama to make the challenge more important than it really was.

Seems like about 90% chance for Aubrey to win with right holding the other 10%. The only interesting thing going forward is if riz and Aubrey both go to FTC

Rizo seems to not be liked much and nobody respects Joe's game.
Tiff had basically 0 confessionals before the merge.
So that leaves only Jonathan and Aubry.

Maybe if Tiff doesn't win the challenge, she avoids being voted out with discussions back at camp. But Aubry point blank said she was annoyed at herself for not just focusing on her puzzle rather than helping someone else to try to beat Tiff.

Pretty much where I'm at. Can't see this jury giving Rizzo a win, Joe is a nonentity who probably shouldn't have come back, and Tiff is barely better than Joe.

I'd probably have it like 75% Aubry and 25% Jonathan; feels like Jonathan has taken a bit too much enjoyment in people getting voted out to win the jury's hearts.

Looks to me like they've basically handed Rizo F3 assuming he's halfway decent at firemaking. I guess they see him as drawing dead in the final vote. Bet he would win over Aubry though who seems supremely unlikeable, though maybe not over Jonathan.

Aubry seems like she's close to a lock to win from the edit, which to me is kind of a lame winner. I feel like Aubry hasn't been in control or done much this season except for recently I guess, and idk, I was just completely turned off by the way she responded to Genevieve early in the season when Genevieve approached her to see if they could work together. Didn't really impress me that much

Redo one year later. He will never spell inconceivable

Would like to see an all-time count of tribals where a player holds their HII. Rizo climbing up that list fast.
