I’m surprised they didn’t flip when they realized Donathan voted for Dom.

His paranoia was through the roof, which I guess was understandable. He thought he was part of a solid 4-person alliance, then got left out of the reward and his alliance didn't send him to Ghost Island to try and get an advantage. They pretty much told him where he stood with them. I'm glad Kellyn is gone, but I was hoping he could muster up a big move.

If Donathan hadn't melted down due to paranoia he might have been able to use Angela, Kellyn, and Sebastian to blindside Dom or Wendell and eliminate them with an idol in their pocket. Kellyn and Angela would have been easy, and Sebastian needs to make a big move at some point.

I guess he still might be able to with Angela and Sebastian's extra vote.

At this point it seems like Dom and Wendell are content to go to the end with each other and let the jury decide. A bit strange, and there is still time for a big move from one of them.

I wonder if any of the contestants ever agree to chop the pot off camera?

But but being so open about it he put a big target on himself. He might have been able to rally others to vote out one if the big dogs if he kept his composure. But now it looks as if he checked out of the game.

Yes! I don’t understand why they kept saying she was one of the most likable people left, and that she had a lot of friends. She was SO aggravatingly overreactive to everything. And her voice killed me.

And she vindictively voted off hot stuff. You have to say she did play hard though. I'm waiting for fireworks and everybody seems content. That's what is pissing me off. I like chaos and blindsides and bombs dropped. I can't really think of a great one this season other than stupid players thinking they were blindsided.

At some point shite has to start happening on this season. It's been pretty uneventful. Most of the exciting things this season have been editing to make it seem like things are going to happen a different way, but doesn't. Everyone just tralala following along with Dom.

Everyone other than Dom and Wendell (and Angela, blah) keep saying in the confessional interviews that it's time to make a move and take out the big dogs.

Then they don't. And say it's not time yet. You're about to run out of chances.

Finale should be exciting though. How many idols and advantages are still in play?

Dom and Wendell have idols, Sea Bass has an extra vote, Dom's fake idol ruse is still out there.

I think that's it. Since Donathan played his there should be another real idol out there somewhere.

kind of reminds me of the boston rob season. only without a philip. all the sheep just following the leader, getting eaten one by one.

glad i don't have to see kellyn's weird navel any more.

wendell's brain fart was kind of funny. should have led to his exit but, the sheep....


at this point dom and wendell are the only ones who have a shot at winning.

donathan, laurel, sebastion and angela (who i actually forgot was still in the game) won't get any votes.

They're to the point idols are about to be useless.

It would be good to steer Donathan to the fake idol and watch how he tries to maneuver the vote.

If either Dom or Wendell (Or both) don't win the next immunity challenge they almost have to play them to insure they get to 5. At 5 if Lauren sticks with them, they make it to 4, and Anything can happen there.

His own paranoia is what put him in the tie and almost sent him home. They kept telling him it was Kellyn, but he voted for Dom and left Kellyn with only 3 votes to match his 3. If he just votes for her he isn’t in the tie. You’re right - after putting himself into the tiebreaker, he’s lucky they didn’t flip on him.

Finale is tonight. It's got to be either Dom or Wendell. Wendell has dodged a few bullets the last couple of Tribals, but I think Dom has played a better game.

It's weird. This is the first Finale in a while where we have at least 2 players left who have an equal shot at winning (as opposed to one obvious winner, a close second, and the rest are goats). With how lackluster the post merge has been you would think we would have just the obvious winner. Laurels lack of killer instinct killed the momentum of the season. At least the winner will be good either way.

So long as both Dom and Wendell are at the end I don't think we will get the standard 6-3-1 vote. It should be close (6-4 or 5-4-1). A tie would not shock me

I have pretty low expectations for this finale. I just don't see Donathan, Sebastian, or whatever that military lady's name is(Angela?) being able to rally anything to make enough noise, and I just don't see Laurel having the stones to turn on them. Dom or Wendell make the final 3, one of them is winning, so the only real suspense is who makes the Final 3.

I guess there's an outside shot Dom and Wendell turn on each other, but I just don't see it.

all in all this season was pretty weak.... on a good note, i don't think we ever have to worry about there being another ghost island... terrible.

The Ghost Island twist has been a flop. I doubt it returns.


I absolutely loved the twist a few weeks ago where they drew teams for 2 separate tribal councils. The draw unfortunately removed all the suspense from them, but a different draw could have really shaken things up. I hope to see that one again.

I don't know what they were thinking when they were testing this out. The downside to going there is extremely minimal. Yeah, you miss some time at camp making plans with people, but you have a pretty good chance at getting a major advantage. They could have at least made it miserable on the island. Instead, it appears to almost be a night off for the players. The food is provided with everything you need.

So, the result is they never decide who goes, until very recently. The picking rocks thing has been terrible.

They should have had 2 ghost islands. The winner picks 2 people to go. One island has an advantage while the other does not. When then get back to camp, nobody knows who actually has the advantage.

I’ve been pulling for Sebastian since the beginning but I doubt he pulls off the impossible and gets a win here tonight.

Wendell is my preferred winner but I won’t be disappointed if Domenick wins it.

Donathan and the older woman have no shot at all, they’ll be a goat in the end. Laurel is meh, my family likes her but she hasn’t been anything spectacular imo.

Tribal council was juicy. I thought for sure Domenick would play his real idol and Donathan was a goner. And Sebastion got played and is toast.
