You mean it makes a lot more sense to play the 99% fake one first so you can play the real one after?

3 votes.

Lauren STILL has an idol that nobody knows about... well besides Wentworth and the other 47 people at extinction.

Aurora thought she was a possible target and that if she ended up in a tie via an idol play or other shenanigans then she would NOT vote on the re-vote. Therefore she gave the extra vote to immune Gavin to ensure it would played on a re- vote.

Well played by Aurora. Put trust in Gavin and it paid off. Gavin could probably see goat potential in Aurora. Hed like to get to the end with her more than with Ron

Cold blooded by Gavin

has anyone at final 6 ever been more of a stone cold lock to win if they can just find a way to the final 3 than Rick Devens?

Extinction is dumb. That's not a hot take I know.

But in what world would whoever returns from extinction get the jury vote and win the game?

Perhaps the only scenario is if Rick is voted out next ep, then he wins the Extinction challenge and returns a 2nd time.

My biggest hope is it's just lol extinction and there is no challenge for any of them to get back in and they just have been miserable there for no real reason.

The 3rd vote was from Gavin, the extra vote that Aurora gave him. There were 8 votes last night at tribal (and only 7 people). Can someone please verify?

Yeah. Vic didn't end up voting for Ron, so Gavin's second vote was Ron's third.

For those thinking Rick could've held the fake immunity menu, I'm pretty sure Ron told Julie about it being a ruse, so there goes that as a possible plan.

The jury is definitely hurting Rick at this point - they're literally hooting and hollering and bowing at his feet every tribal. Way to put an even bigger target on his back folks....

Is this Vic's first wrong vote?

He did. But Rick didn't necessarily know that, so could've at least been worthy of consideration. If Rick had perfect information (Ron told Julie and only Julie), he gets Rick out this ep, then wins immunity or finds another idol, gets Julie out next ep, then he has his menu item that no one knows is expired, so he is saved for another ep

Rick's played the worst game so far. Good edit though, could see him winning through idolling his way to the end. He's played terrible socially+strategically but could easily see him beat someone like Victoria or Gavin due to a bitter jury

Technically yes, but she & Lauren had to vote for Rick to make sure they flush the idol. She knew the real plan though.

In every world? The people on extinction want to feel part of the game. Having a returning player win the whole thing means none of them sat there for nothing and they all had a real shot. Add the fact that they're actually building real relationships (no competition, no voting, no reason to lie whatsoever) and I would be shocked if a returning player made it to final 3 and not win the whole thing. Except maybe Reem.

Lol worst post in history.

Rick prolly didn't play the worst game, but he's gotta be bottom 3. He blew up the relationships with all of his possible allies, and hasn't been able to build up new ones. The best thing you can say about him is that he's playing hard enough resulting in people actually wanting to vote him out instead of dragging him along as a goat. And yes, he's getting an edit that looks like he could be the winner .



If I was Jeff I'd have eliminated someone from redemption island by now for making too much of a scene at tribal.

Rick is the only non-coattail rider left, why do you think he's the target every week. Please prove your stupidity by replying 'he's the target cause the jury likes him'

its not clear whether rick is any good at this game but he sure is entertaining af

Not sure you understand what 'terrible socially' looks like.

I still don't understand why everyone isn't looking for the idol. There's literally nothing else to do.

If the entire group wants Rick out, and they know he's out looking for an idol all day, wouldn't they look also, if just to keep him from getting it?

Is the entire cast literally gonna be the jury? Or will they send the rest of the pre-merge exiles home before FTC?

What's the case for Rick playing a good game? Spare me. He was a moron after the merge vote and wanted to leech of the Kama majority, openly refusing to work with Wardog and Kelley even when it was clearly in his best interests. He almost lost his closest ally David due to his stubbornness. At the tribal council where **** hit the fan he changed his mind but Julia and Victoria on twitter revealed they were actually voting Wentworth so it was more like an epic fail that led to David being voted out who is a much better player than Rick.

Apart from that he's got no allies, nobody wants to work with him the entire cast runs rings around him every week and he gets the best edit. I think he's literally voted out only 2 people out of 7. If you're interested in Survivor as a game of social strategy he's clearly played the worst. Also got voted out pre-merge. I'd like to here any case for him playing well. We always here people claim Michele was awful and did nothing but I even feel like she was more aware of the dynamics than Rick's been here. I would say if he wins at this stage he's objectively the worst winner ever he even played an idol this vote and was still not on the correct side of the numbers

Also the jury likes him because he hasn't voted any of them out of the game and has spent time on extinction. Is he funny, yes is he good socially at the core things like building alliances, reacting well in social situations, self-awareness and situational awareness. No.

People calling the others coattail riders clearly don't understand the game at all. Whose coattails are Victoria riding? She drove the last vote, Rick didn't even vote the right person. The people who genuinely think Rick's playing the best are totally fooled by the edit and aren't intelligent enough to analyse the actual game at any capacity.

Watching Julia do some dumb surfing move from the back row and then reel in the next player to the jury is the most annoying thing ever. Having a season where the jury accumulates to this size and allowing them to have a visible effect on the game beyond voting at the end is so tilting. They are contributing more reaction at tribal than the actual players. There should be zero interaction from them.

Probably a bottom 5 winner if it is anyone other than Aurora or Rick, without considering who might get back in from the jury.

if it's aurora or rick, is it woat winner?

This is all that matters.

I don't think so.
