And you're not alone- I keep thinking of Vanuatu whenever I see their tribe name, too!

Propaganda Machine posted:Now that I think of it, it's kind of ironic that Mari got taken out by the Triforce.  The Quadforce is the most divided I've ever felt about an alliance cause Taylor and Figgy are literally the worst but Jay impressed me here and Michelle is awesome but even so I'm still really mad that they won this one. Still, if they ride the showmance for a while then they can turn on it and that momentum will carry them through to the end.

I'm mildly amused that Michelle appears to be deliberately using her religion to get people to trust her and then be a snake. Like, if she's unaware she's doing it or denies it then I'll dislike her but I get the sense that she's actually just totally deliberately going "Lets pray together... now do what I say, trust me, you prayed with me." But she's a "missionary" so her job is basically to sell religion. So I'm going with "snake" for now. I'm also completely intrigued by the mindset of Michaela to pick a fight in Tribal Council with the tribe mate who she was saving with a vote flip. That's just so weird and opens up all kinds of chaotic possibilities.

Michaela wasn't a flip vote, she's allied with Michelle and Jay, we just didn't see any of those scenes. If she had voted against Figgy, then she'd have been flipping. Similar to how we have no idea why she and Figgy are fighting. Just normal editing bullshit. Michelle recruited Hannah because she could and she was legitimately worried about Michaela flipping. Will was rock solid, which I sort of sensed when they were talking on the beach. Zeke didn't spill the beans on anything, he was on the outside already. Obviously I'm guessing a bit, but that seems to be the only way to look at it without 3 or 4 people being complete idiots. I don't think the Quadforce is all that strong in reality, the real power players (as this thread have identified) are Michelle and Jay, with Mari being the power player on the other side (thus she was the target).

I mean, Michelle flat out said she wasn't sure if they had the numbers and they said they had to "flip" or "secure" Will and Michaela, and she seemed to rope in Hannah there at the end for insurance. So that still seems like a "flip." It was a soft flip because Zeek, Mari, and Co seemed a little over confident and careless about their numbers like they were just counting on the common sense argument of "break up the showmance" to do all the work, but from what we saw they still all intended to vote out Figgy. Even Jay seemed resigned to it until he told Michelle and she put her foot down and flipped the soft votes. I'm perfectly willing to assume that (a) Michaela generally got along better with the young kids who wanted Mari out than the "older" ones who were pushing for Figgy to go and (b) Jay telling her that the "older" ones were targeting her next cemented that affiliation. I think that vote kind of just came down to a little mini-age battle in the tribe. The people who wanted Figgy out were generally the older and more mature ones and the people who "flipped" were the younger/less mature ones who seem more likely to be drawn in by "the cool crowd" or simply just feel more at ease with the younger half of the tribe. I mean, its guess work since its so early and we know so little, but that's what it looked like to me. I'm still kind of intrigued by Michaela effectively calling out Figgy in the middle of Council when she knew there was about to be a contested vote where she was taking Figgy's side. That's just weird. Fast Luck posted:The secret scene didn't really play out like that to me. Hannah isn't religious, so it's not like Michelle is trying to manipulate her through religion. It looks more like Michelle is genuine, and Hannah is going along with it both for a new experience and to be agreeable, which is almost like Hannah is the one playing Michelle, except that really I think a moment like that (and other non-religious ones I'm sure they've shared) bond in both directions. My impression was that Hannah went "Michelle is religious and nice, and that makes me think I can trust her" and Michelle is saying "I'm religious and nice so people think they can trust me." Its not like she's faking religion or swearing on a Bible to lie, its just that she seemed to build trust with Hannah based on the religion thing and then used that to flip Hannah with an "IOU" on why. If that's deliberate than I'm kind of impressed. If its just flailing at things than I'm less so. Only time will tell. But also, it wouldn't work if Michelle wasn't playing a solid social game and just building trust in general, so its not like I'm accusing her of being a snake oil salesman. It just seemed like part of the equation, or at least what the editing wanted us to think was part of the equation. STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 19:53 on Sep 29, 2016 |

Watching through the bonus confessionals so you don't have to. Adam: White noise about challenges and camp life. Only gem is "I know someone has lied to me and that's who I'm voting for at tribal." He voted for Figgy. Figgy: Gives a white noise confessional about losing the challenge. "My name is on the chopping block because I'm a leader." Hannah: Wanted to participate in the challenge but other players were pretty insistent on participating and she didn't want to cause a fuss. Reflects on why Tasha didn't flip on Jeremy, or why Woo didn't flip on Tony and examines her own game. Jay: Purposefully poked Michaela to instigate bigger fight with Figgy. Mari: Challenge hard. Weather annoying. Losing a challenge like, totally sucks, man. Michaela: "If you lie to me and I find a use for you then I'll keep you around. But the moment you are not useful I'll dispose of you and that's what I'll do with Figgy. I know who I want to the end. I know who I trust. So everyone else, we're playing chess together." Michelle: Knows she has to seem like she's on everybody's side. Taylor: Doesn't think the tribe is worried about him being part of a power couple. "If it works, I own this island... we own this island." Will: Thinks voting out Figgy is only helpful in the short-term and voting out Mari is helpful in the long-term. "Mari doesn't talk strategy to anybody and she's too likable." Zeke: Throws shade on Taylor over his showmance with Figgy. Aware that Figgy and Taylor think they're in control of the game. ~~~ Bret: Talks about what led up to Peter's episode. Doesn't want Paul to leave. CeCe: Worked out an alliance with Ken, David, and Lucy. They're looking for a fifth member and CeCe wants Paul. (contrast with Chris) Chris: Concerned Paul would go home which is bad for his game (contrast with CeCe) David: Tells how he found the idol. Basically says exactly what we saw on TV. "Coconuts don't grow with paint on them." "If I sniff the least little bit that I'm going home I'm going to play the idol." Jessica: Happy to win a challenge. Happy to have fire. Happy to white noise. Ken: He likes David. Was skeptical about the fake looking idol until David showed him the Idol note. Lucy: Everybody is getting along and everything is fine! Paul: Talks about his health crisis. Wants to reassure his allies that he's okay and going to be fine. Sunday is the only player not to have a bonus confessional. I swear the entirety of the Extended Scene was aired last night because none of it looked new.  "...Liar!"

Lampsacus posted:I can see Jay or Michelle winning the game by keeping T and Fig as their eternal scapegoats wonderkids until the tide turns and suddenly they have a two person extra buffer to push them through. That's a reasonable guess, and would be an excellent strategy if they could pull it off. From what we've seen so far, there's no reason to assume either Taylor or Figgy have any idea how to win Survivor. They're dipshits who will be used by the smarter players.

There needs to be a Survivor season set in the arctic. But that'll never happen, because the producers think that people only want to see girls in bikinis.

Like that truce wasn't fragile enough already.

Even though Mari talked like a charter school commercial nonstop she still seemed pretty cool and I would've liked to see her get to play a bit more. This season is so annoying so far.

Gamer girls are doomed just like Kellys, man. I can't believe Figgy survived despite doing absolutely nothing. She's just lucky Michelle was so adamant on sticking to her original alliance enough to pull whatever voodoo she did. Then again, I'm not sure if Mari/Zeke/Adam had told Figgy who was supposed to be 'out'. You always reassure the person you plan on voting out. I hope they have a good narrative for Figgy and Taylor, otherwise they might be quite poisonous to watch going forward. Honestly other than Zeke not a huge fan of the Millenials so far. And Ken continues to impress. I'm not really sure there's much going on at Gen X though. I can see Ken/David being a new J.T./Stephen or Ozzy/Cochran or whatever you want to call them. Problem is that they have a tiny alliance of three (including Cece), and unless they can pull in some of the relatively confessionless people Dave's gonna have to burn his idol at the next TC.

Then again, the de facto Gen X leader nearly just died. Voting him out for fitness shouldn't be a hard sell, and then it's a wide-open game.

It seems like a terrible idea bringing Hannah into the loop at the last minute at TC, basically telling her shes at the bottom of that group of 3 and the combined group of six. While shes left with no choice but to vote that way this time she could be open to flip later as a result.

Rather than leave her out of the loop on a vote she was on the wrong side of, it tells Hannah that Michelle has her back. Furthermore, it possibly drives a wedge between Hannah and Zeke's group which may mean it's harder for that group to join together and flip things.
