He folded on this when no one really complained about it as I recall. Yet he thinks he's some kind of negotiator.

thread was calling for Romeo win last week. He probably gets voted out with Tori next week, and the show moves on.

My darkhorse winner pick would be Lindsay because they barely show her, from what I've seen. Either she's winning or she pissed off the producers.

I think she has a decent shot because we heard more from her this week and also, last season Erika basically had zero screen time until after the hourglass and merge.

I'm also wondering why they focused so much on Maryann and her high school drama this episode, hoping that it isn't a sign she goes super far as well.

If Drea was a huge personality, Survivor would be really happy right now. She's just so dull. I love her though. So many advantages. I bet her personality comes out more as we whittle down the contestants.

I think Mike is dead in the water because of his social game and the fact he plays very straight forwardly. No one is going to want to sit next to him because he's fostered many personal connections. There's too many sneaky people. I don't think they will let Mike slip through.

Pretty impressive for JT to get 50+% on a season with Coach and Tyson.

Also, Coach, while delusional, is not a villain.

Mike isn't playing. He's adopting a Survivor family.

Jonathan almost screwed up by not putting himself in a key position and thinking someone else was capable. How silly.

I think Omar is taking this down. Dude has a lot of charisma and is likeable/social in a natural way. Mike, as good as he's playing, puts it on a little too thick sometimes.

Also Tori, stop winning these challenges please.

Tori is just dislikeable. Something about her. She's not super villain that you kinda want to root for, she's just hard to like. She probably plays the game strategically in a way many of us would normally support, but her personality or something about her just makes you want to see her gone. I hope she can turn it around somehow in a way that makes her likeable, but I don't see that. At least as long as she's around, I have someone to root against.

I would love to see Jonathan win. He seems like a humble guy, plus it would drive the racists insane (even more insane)

“Another twist? Once the three are together, the rules of the advantage can shift. If all three play it together, it’s an extra vote. If there are only two people left, it becomes a steal-a-vote. However, it becomes an idol if one person is left. With that, it makes sense if you want this advantage to get rid of the other people with a part of it. This is a fascinating bit of strategy, and the advantage is good until the final six.”

I’m surprised it hasn’t been discussed yet between Drea, Hai and Lindsay. I mean, I guess it could have been, but I imagine that would have made the edit.

They probably all realize there are still too many outsiders around to think about making a move yet. Drea most likely doesn't even care what happens anyway, she's got so many things she just needs to play safe.

I think they're probably trying to get rid of romeo and/or tori next, and then the game should ramp up because Maryanne has an idol and they're running out of low hanging fruit. Lindsay might get targeted next with the amulet in mind, but Jonathan probably wants her on board.

Game should get very interesting soon, despite all the advantages.

Yeah, I still don't really follow this. What if one person wants to play it, but the others dont? Does person 1 play it and get an extra vote, while the other two now have (at least) a steal a vote?

For all the complaints about advantages, at least most of them have historically been clear and easy to understand, Before long, these parchments are going to look like the terms and conditions on the contract when buying a car in 4 point font running 6 pages.

Same if there are only 2. Both have to agree. But I don’t think 2 can come together and agree to use it as a steal a vote while the 3rd remains in the game and says they don’t want to use it.

I think it’s meant to either be used for a group already working as a team or for them to target each other to hopefully get down to 1 remaining and use it as an idol.

All amulet advantages expire at final 6.

Like, what if they discuss in advance and agree, then they get to the voting booth, two of them hand it over and cast and extra vote, and then the last one says "eh, actually no I dont want to". Do they meet with production in advance of tribal and trade them in?

She's definitely getting island hot though. Visible abs in the bikini but not skinny, damn.

Idol is easy since that’s solo and would be revealed before the vote reading.
