Drew missed his chance with this tribal. He knew that Julie had an immunity idol and was going to play it. What he should have done after finding out that Austin told Dee would have been to flip the vote and had Emily, Jake and Katurah vote Dee out. Drew could have still voted Julie and played dumb to Austin that he didn’t know. That way, he flushes Julie’s idol and he breaks up Austin/Dee and then becomes Austin’s #1, Emily’s #1 and possibly Jake’s #1 for what that is worth.

Yeah very strange moves all around. Emily bragging about her “move” on Bruce. Julie not having the balls to vote Austin. Drew/Emily not recognizing what was happening with Dee/Julie and flipping it on Dee. Hard to see how any of the current people make a strong case for themselves. Jake winning would be hilarious. Katurah would be crazy too she has done literally nothing but the winners edit is certainly there

If Clitoris wins I'm going to fricking riot. I don't like the Reba 4 but at this point they need to snipe the others and play it out at the end. Jake doesn't deserve to be there he's borderline retarded. Clitoris does literally nothing all game but exist and hate bruce.

Don’t forget being scared of the ocean after signing up to be on a game show where a requirement is to swim in the ocean

And then jumping in and swimming perfectly fine

Agree but I also blame him for giving it to her in the first place.

Unfortunately, showing her practice making fire might foreshadow her making the final 4, at a minimum.

I thought it was strange that no one seemed to believe Emily’s story about the journey but then Julie and Dee didn’t consider the possibility that Emily won immunity on the journey.

If Austin makes it to the final tribal, he’s going to get roasted for giving that idol away to Julie.

Dee seems to be in the best position to win but you never know how people will react when the backstabbing starts.

If Katurah makes final 4 it’s only to be brought along as a goat. I think if Mama J makes it to FTC, she wins. The jury doesn’t like Dee or Drew…maybe Austin as well.

Damn I was wishing she would have wrote Austin. I was really rooting for Emily.



Right? Why didn't Emily and Katurah write Austin. That's all it would have taken.

Dee and Julie are both toast in this game. Austin/Drew must know someone told Julie and they know it has to be Dee. I sure don't see a winner's edit from Katurah, though. It was a really good episode and I hate it that Emily is gone.

Dee Cups has shown she puts loyalty to Julie over loyalty to Austin and Austin looks like he’ll choose Dee Cups over Drew. Drew needs to slap some sense into Austin and point out that Drew is more beatable in the finals.

Julie, Jake, and Katurah don’t deserve to win based on what they’ve done so far. Should be an interesting ending to the season.

I was surprised Dee didn’t vote Emily just in case Julie voted Austin. I’m assuming she told Julie “if you vote Austin I’m done with you”.



Something tells me this wasn’t as surprising as the edit is leading us to believe.

I have a feeling this may have been a big play from Austin to flush Julie’s idol (unbelievable that Julie wouldn’t have given it back if he asked for it btw. Did they ever show the scene when he gave it to her??)

It seems obvious that Dee would have told Julie the only reason she even knew about the move against her was because Austin told her because he wanted to protect her, so voting Austin out wouldn’t have been her agenda at all.

Dee and Austin probably sold her that they were both going along with the plan to vote her so they can continue to get info from the other three thinking they were all on the same page (that burned Drew to Julie in this plan).

It just doesn’t seem likely that Austin would have risked going home with an idol in his pocket if he thought there was any chance Julie would put his name down knowing that she was going to be the sole vote to evict. There were probably conversations with the three of them that we just weren’t shown.

This also allowed Austin to cut Emily without appearing to turn on her (or Drew, as they were becoming a pair he also wanted to break up). Austin knows he’s safe next tribal, as is Drew because he can leave tribal with his advantage, so even if Julie wins immunity, they are both safe and one of the blues will go, which means at final 5 they can take Julie out with just the three of them.


Julie is now easily the top target as not only is she loved by the jury, she has this huge play on her resume as well. So they turned her into the #1 target for everyone and have the blues gunning for her instead of them as well.


We’ve now had two idols go out in the last two tribals. Do they not still replace idols once they are gone? I kept expecting to see Jake on a search frenzy once Bruce’s was out. Any chance another idol is in play now?

I don't see it as a huge play. She probably does, but she's also the same person that keeps saying "my idol". She had the entire tribe vote against her, she only knew because one of the people voting for her told her, and she was only saved because an ally gave her an idol to hold it. I feel like a competent person can cut her move to pieces in final tribal.

I think Gabler’s win proves “what you’ve done so far” doesn’t always matter. Julie is unanimously liked, the rest of the Reba’s are not. I really think if Julie is in FTC, she wins.

Also, doesn’t Austin’s idol expire after the next tribal council? Will be interesting to see what he does with it. Thinking if he’s safe he’ll give it to someone to make sure he gets who he wants in the final 5? Would be wild if he finishes the game having two idols - one he gives away and the other possibly given away or not used.

But the jury does, and that’s all that matters. All they saw was her get every vote, play an idol, and cast the lone vote to evict and send home another jury favorite.

If you don’t think that’s a huge move for the jury not sure what to tell you.

Sure they can try to explain it away days later but for days every juror will be sitting around talking about Julie and the idol. No explanation will ever have the same effect on that group than that moment.

It doesn’t matter though, I would have Julie making it to the F3 as the lowest odds on the board at this point. She’ll need to win every immunity the rest of the way to make it.

Pretty much 100% chance... not sure why Jake at a minimum hasn't been looking.

Or good chance he has and we just haven't seen it.

I feel like Jake is going home tonight unless he wins immunity. They will obviously build it up as Clitoris, Jake and Mamma J going for Austin or Drew but it'll just be the producer trying to make it interesting tribal when it isn't.

Imagine dreaming of being on Survivor for years and then finally making the cut. You get a couple of weeks into the game and realize you are just taking up space in the game. You’re a non-player who apparently has zero chance of winning. You either embrace the role and get dragged to the finals as a goat or you try to make a big move and get voted out by your target.
