And of course the cookout crew is at full strength. I feel bad for the 2 white girls, there is literally nothing they can do to crack the black.



I know the cookout stuff can frustrate people, but honestly that isjtbreally what happened here.


Jenna was screwed because she wasn’t aligned with the other two from her tribe. That’s really all it boiled down to. Dev has wanted her out since day 1. He went against his own alliance to try to vote her out. That’s how badly he wanted her gone.

Then the night before she and the nerd herd blew up his whole alliance in a huge blindside.


In no world was he not taking the chance to get her out.

Yes having a good vibe with Ori made the decision a total no brainer, but he was never staying strong with his old tribe after what happened last week. What would have been the point?



I do think Ori has the cookout at the top of his priority list, but that’s because he strikes me as a recruit rather than a super fan. I don’t think he knows all the baggage that comes with it.


Dev and Jelly actually strike me as pretty good players and won’t ride that train to the end.

Jelly’s #1 was Patt (RIP ), and she actually seems like one of the cooler more laid back people on the season imo and will be able to find lots of people to work with going forward.

I find Dev hilarious and actually a lot of fun to watch. I wouldn’t want to play with him because he’s messy, but he isn’t going to be tied to a cookout. His #1 was Brody and if they can make it back to a tribe together they are going to fall right back in sync imo.

If Ori trusts that those two will ride with him until the end I think it will be his downfall unless they start to grow real bonds through more votes and strategy, not just based on race.

Brody would love to jump back in with Dev and Jelly along with Ori, but I think eventually that initial bond they had would put Ori at the bottom of that group.

Hope we get to see that play out.


I really dislike Carter. His flip against Patt pissed me off and I hope Brody doesn’t forget it. I hope he and Kristen don’t let him weasel his way through and they get a chance to take him out.

Brody deserves a win at some point

I don’t think it mattered who the 2 extra people were on that tribe, they would get voted out. The fun will come if that tribe loses 2 more immunity challenges. Sharonda is sitting in a good spot. She’s in a good position on her tribe and has the BBQ folks waiting for her at the merge. She’ll have a foot in two groups and can go either way.

Why did they roast the chicken on a stick when they had a pot available? They left a lot of calories on the table.

Was wondering that myself.

Have you seen these people good ideas in the game, chicken on a stick vs a chicken stew with rice was the logical choice of most sustenance lol

Like the only person who thought to study up on Fijian plant life before going to live in the jungle of Fiji was that one lady? I’d have the damn Fijian fruit encyclopedia memorized going out there.

Alexis has an extremely annoying voice. I wish it had been her over Jenna.

Yes it was. Kilby is very annoying, but what a ballsy play by him. It is a bummer that all the eye candy is gone now

Tons of respect for Kilby. Dude laid his nuts out there and made a partner for the rest of the game/life.

The other three folded like a cheap tent when it came to deciding on Linnea or rocks.

I’m proud of Kilby for sticking to his word.

Gained major respect for Kilby after that one. Stuck to his guns and watched the others fold.

Question, did Jeff give Kilby a slight advantage by asking him for a decision first? It puts all the pressure on the other three

Kilby realized he was the next to go if they had to go to Tribal again. Considering who’s on that tribe, a return to TC is likely.

Meanwhile, the cookout is going strong. The people who were so angry at Kilby tonight won’t say a word when Sharonda stabs them in the back after the merge.

I still wonder if Jeff biased the outcome by giving Kilby the chance to make his decision first. It put the burden on the group of three and maximized the odds of Linnea going home.

I don't think so. He was already pretty firm there. The tribaks usually last much longer than we see on TV so I think the outcome was already known by production. Or at least strongly assumed.

Good for Kilby, though. At first I thought Maggie was making a huge mistake giving up the second extra vote but it worked.

And I am sure the internet is having a hissy fit over 6 women being voted out to start the season.

Kilby and Lewis spelled Linnea’s name wrong 6 different times in 1 tribal.

Brutal.

No point in drawing rocks pre merge.

Please get Jelly out next. Hate her.

Jelly had the chance to force her tribe to rocks as well and prevent another woman from going home but she played it safe. Which will cost her at the merge. For as poor of a cast as this originally seemed, Kelby letting his nuts hang was not something I saw coming. Glad he did though.

I found this interesting as well. She was banging the drum for not sending another girl home, but eventually she showed where her allegiance lies. Color over gender. She even said it during an interview- "I want a black person to succeed on this show." Once again, can you imagine if a white player said this??

Totally agree. He is a weird little fricker, but he stuck to his guns and it worked. It was hilarious to see the other members squirm at tribal and start kissing his arse. The little guy with the bowtie almost had an anxiety attack over it. How people like that can function in the real world blows my mind.

Yep. He had all the leverage though. 75% chance that one of the 4-person alliance was going home if they draw rocks.. and if they don't go to rocks they have numbers 3-2 over Lewis and Kilby, so no good reason to not just sacrifice Linnea there.

It was a cowardly look for TV, but logically the right decision.
