I don't get the Jeff hate either. In other challenges, whoever makes it to the end, fine. They all win the bragging rights. Jeff wants to stay solo or just a small duo team, that's fine. People should respect that and stop whining that Jeff is getting food that they aren't able to score. He's playing his game and making sure he's got enough resources to get to the end - just as everyone should be doing. If he's withholding food that he's caught from others, it's not like they are going to die. It just means they potentially won't be able to finish the game because they weren't able to do it for themselves. That's called consequences.

But Last One Standing is actually set up to have one winner. Not just for bragging rights, but $$$$ too. Jeff's style of play is exactly what you'd want to do. Everyone will have to get there eventually if they want to be the last one standing.

The only problem is that Jeff is too in your face about it and everyone else is the opposite extreme trying to pretend that's not the game they're playing.

On the preview for the next episode it showed Matt and Jeff in the Steven, waz, dan camp. It seems more likely that Matt would visit those guys camp than Jeff so I'm guessing Jeff is with Steven, Waz and Dan. Plus showed Matt yelling at Jeff for calling him a bully.

Episode 6-11-23

The TV show Survivor slogan is "outwit, outplay, outlast". Jeff is playing the game like Survivor and N&A LOS isn't necessarily about deception. It's more about the best skills and cooperation so far.

Jeff's style of play has made this a 1 vs 7 and he's going to fail at some point. He's already cut himself and burned his ankle and when he tried to strategically offer a mea cupla no one believes his bullshite.

This episode had a little too much staged drama but the dynamic has changed now that they have split into two groups of 4.

Next week appears to have the first elimination challenge and this is where the rubber is going to meet the road and it's going to be interesting see what types of challenges are going to be offered.

Gary is being really cagey playing both sides of the fence and I wonder how that's going to play out. He's been taking some big physical risks and so far they've paid off for the most part.

Looks like Cheeny about to tap over the drama..we'll see.

That whole convo at the end was weird. It is going to get personal now. I think Jeff is dead man walking and Cheney is about to tap. I did not see Gary at that powwow when they were all talking so I wonder what he may be up to since he is playing both sides.

Cheney is just about done with all the BS

At this point, it's hard to imagine Jeff even believes what he is saying anymore. The Matt led group needs to just cut off the other group entirely at this point. If Dan wants to sneak stuff to Cheney, fine, but outside of that, they should just ignore each other.

Yeah, Cheney is out. It doesn't seem she was ready to commit to this type of challenge.

Also, Sarah was really getting bent out of shape when Steven realized, like Jeff does, that this is a game.

Most everyone on this season needs to take a deep breath, and realize they're playing a game. Be a good sport and don't take it so hard. It doesn't have to be personal.

Great episode. WTF was Steven's BS excuse to Sarah? He acted like there was no other path. If that were true how did Sarah find one after Steven got the cache he and Sarah were on? Also was strange that Gary was the first to find the knife but barely made it in time.

The way they edited this episode sort of pissed me off. While I understand the need to have dramatic effect it was over the top.

With only one item left, how did Sarah find that last item? Did it take a long time? Unless she was given help from the crew she had a 1 in 6 chance of finding the correct path.

They really misled Matt's leg cramp. He was 2nd to finish. Gary apparently was first to find his item but nearly lost.

I'm not sure how I feel about the Sarah/Steve matter. I guess since there was no rule saying two people can't search the same path all is fair.

Jeff was clever in telling everyone that if they don't cut him in on the spoils he'll sabotage hunts and the other competitor's efforts. Like him or not he's the puppet master right now. He won't have many friends after this but he seems to be fine with that.

Now that we're at elimination challenges base on skill it's time to see who the best players really are. Matt seems to be more than a one trick pony.

Challenges involve competing for resources while navigating the shrinking playable area, and defeating opponents is very common in many games. Why is this game different?

Good grief Sarah was really being a whiney bitch. I am glad to see her and that gaping mouth of hers go. Steven had just as much right to that trail as her. Sorry , not sorry you lost cause that is the game.
Jeff just gets more douchy each week. The other 4 are being dicks, but his narcissism invites him being treated like shite.
My guess is Gary is next to go if it is elimination. He just gets in his own way when it comes to these challenges.

I have no problem at all with what Steven did I just didn't like he didn't own up to it to Sarah. He acted like he had no other choice. I'm really starting to think the show has convinced Jeff to take on this bad guy persona. In the past shows he's always been one to not share food/resources but he's gone a lot further this time. The thing is when the show has each person doing private interviews Matt, Steven, etc....they all say similar stuff as Jeff. Dan is quietly a guy that could win the show but I still think Matt or Jeff are the favorites.

I've been rooting for Jeff only because of how rude everyone is being to him. But damn, that raft he and Gary built was a joke.

When everyone except him are off in their self love sessions, why doesn't Jeff join in too? Or why doesn't he at least go look around the area and see what resource/food he can find?

As far as the ultimate winner I’d have to guess the gay guy will take it. Jeff and the other guy should have been eliminated when they ended up with no raft at the finish line. But nbd. Matt’s injury appears terminal for the challenges. Steven doesn’t appear to be the same as before.

That raft was so bad. I was rooting for it to collapse and all of Jeff's stuff to go floating down the river to be lost. My money is on Dan to win it all. Matt is not going to make it, not that he has done all that much anyway.

Jeff has been the only one with the right mindset in all of this. He has been at it from day 1 knowing its a competition. He doesn't have any alliances to lean on or to cater to. Will that hamper the other guys and cause sympathy in Matt's case with his injury? Just seems like they're going to be overly friendly and try to help him along the way and end up hurting themselves.
With every challenge remaining being solo challenges, my money is still on Jeff

I really hate the editing on this show. They didn't show where either Jeff or Gary said they were waiting to go so their raft wouldn't possibly hit the other team. They just show Gary yelling at Matt and Matt yelling back then it's resolved without really showing why. That raft might've been better if Gary had helped but yea it sucked. A lot of times they clearly act as though the danger is far worse than reality. However those rapids with those rafts was actually really dangerous. They could've easily gone under water, hit their head on a rock and been knocked out and possibly drown. Starting to get annoyed by Matt and Waz even.

I disagree.

If everyone adopted Jeff's mentality, then he would have a huge edge.

But the fact is that no one has adopted his strategy. And consequently, his strategy absolutely backfired. It is Jeff against the world. And that isn't an advantage.
He single handedly galvanized the rest of the group against himself. That makes the group stronger at Jeff's expense.

I'm with you. They do this to gin up drama where it may not exist. They are spinning it in such a way to portray Matt as a dick and Jeff's enemy. Even my wife was taking this bait and I told her that when guys get in most competitive situations guys are going to trash talk most of the time. It's just the way we're wired just like a women's ability to shop for hours and buy nothing...ha ha.

I think Dan screwed up telling Jeff he didn't want to be friends. He couldn't even look in in the eye when he said that. While he may feel that way he created unnecessary friction in a place they are sharing and that just feeds Jeff's ego knowing that he's living rent free in Dan's head.

Gary going to lose in skills challenges real soon. He's struggled both times and there are better players left.

I'm still not sure who's going to take this thing.

At first when the series started, I liked Jeff the least. But once all of the others exhibited today's sick mob mentality and cancel culture he's the only one I want to win. No matter what Jeff says or does, he's already been permanently cancelled. When Sarah caught a fish and gave it to Jeff, she was in deep doodoo with the guys. That kind of cancel culture crap where the mob punishes any of its own when they don't go along with how they are supposed to act per group rules is really disgusting.
