I didn’t really like Rocksroy because of how he had been portrayed by the others and the editing. But his little piece on the exile made me like him more.

And I like that Jonathan and the fireman bonded. They’re both good guys. I hope they can help each other get farther.

Finally an episode with some intrigue.

They’re going to regret not getting Jonathan out, but Hai is playing the best overall game.

Hai flipping on Lydia that easily was a surprise... I figured it was going to be Maryanne blindside time.

True but he is on everyone’s radar. I hope he can make it to the end but I don’t see it.

Not sure I agree with this although he is up there.

Everyone correctly sees Jonathan as a shield. They will have to eliminate him eventually, but it doesn't have to be at 12.

The problem with this thinking is that if everyone is using Jonathan as a shield, then they are all susceptible to being blindsided underneath that shield.

I think the next two weeks set up to be easy with Tori and Chantelle on the outs, then it gets interesting again.

Hai and Omar are both playing very well, along with Jonathan.

Mike, Drea, Lindsey, and Romeo in the next tier.

Maryanne is stuck in the middle.

Rocksroy seems to just be along for the ride, but he's on the right side of the numbers.

Chantelle and Tori are bringing up the rear.

The other problem is that they are reducing their opportunities to get rid of him. If you decide to use him as a shield until final 6 or something, then he has a 1/6 shot at winning the immunity challenge. The other reason it was a great opportunity this time was that he should never have a more frenzied lead up to tribal. This was least prepared he will be.

I take back what I said. Hai is definitely in the top tier right now. Omar made a good jump up in last night’s episode.

Omar’s flipping the vote to Lydia was a very strong move, especially for someone that didn’t have a vote.

And he wasn't in danger. He did it just to save Jonathan... might bite him in the arse later on.

I would honestly put Mike in the tier with Omar and Hai. They made a point to showcase how freaking strong his social game was last night.

One of the better moves we've seen in the new era. The battle between him and Hai for who goes home was great.

Hai really had no choice but to let lydia go. She being there weakens his position when people think he won't flip on her.

I don’t know if having Jonathan go to the finals would be a bad thing if one of the other players had a strong gameplay resume. The jury might not think that Jonathan did anything special because he’s huge and of course he’s going to dominate challenges. Votes would go to the shot callers and people who made connections. Hai and Omar would have a good chance against Jonathan in the finals. Jonathan might play scared the rest of the way and rely too much on having to be saved when he doesn’t have immunity.

I agree, he might lose to 3-4 players unless he starts making big strategic moves in addition to big challenge moves.

I am also expecting him to struggle more in individual challenges than he did with a team behind him. He hasn't had to do a puzzle yet.

The one challenge he lost he was the one doing the puzzle.

It was pretty funny when Chanelle would walk up to the group and everyone just bails. I bet that happens on every season but would kill the drama for tribal if they showed it in most cases.

Also surprised they didn't put enough doubt into Maryanne to force her to use her idol. It looked like Hai attempted to do that at tribal but Maryanne had enough confidence in Romeo to not play it.

Maryanne may have enough allies where she will give problems to whichever dominant group rises after Tory-Chanelle are voted out.
