Wedenick are in a really tight spot here. I guess they kind of have Seb, and they think they have Laurel but after that little display even that is dicey.

Donathan will come back for a returner season and get voted out immediately. Calling it now.

I don't know what's sillier. Donathan's bizarre "truth bomb" game strategy or Domenick and Wendell's bizarre openly tag teaming game strategy.

And doesn't Donathan KNOW they have idols?

Yeah, bad look by Wendell. Him being angry at himself for loving up and lashing out. At least he didn't drag it out past once Jeff was all "you get you hosed up, right?"

I'd be kind of surprised if we don't see Wendell and Dom both play their idols tonight. They can gamble on guessing the right target and keeping the other idol to stay alive next week, but Donathan spooked them way too much.

My thought exactly. Was he just taking one second to look at it and Laurel jumped him in the process, or did he just space out and not think he needed to say anything? Before this I never even thought about this

Whether or not Laurel is finally willing to pull the trigger it would make no sense for her to pull a Donathan and just make it obvious to Dom and Wendell. She knows they have idols.

as someone who has defended Laurel's instincts this is definitely the vote where she needs to put up.

I doubt the edit was accurate. Wendall basically quoted the rules in a way that I can almost guarantee came from a producer.

I mean he didn't freak out but the "I guess I need to yell out" definitely felt like "Why weren't you paying more attention, Jeff? I should have won." Which obviously isn't really Jeff's job if Wendell doesn't say something. And you don't win until you cross the goal line. Which Wendell seemed to eventually get. Whether it happened as quickly as we saw or after some more arguing with producers.

I didn't really perceive Wendell's reaction as a lash out. He gained sympathy from Laurel, anyway, and I think that will save him tonight

Also tonight's episode is additional proof that the castaways like Laurel and perceive her as a fierce competitor. She must not translate to the screen as well as she does in person

"Lash out" was probably bad word choice. He just kind of played out the whole "Did you screw me? No, I screwed myself." out loud. But he ended up in the right place.

Holy crap. Dom and Wendell just spent a F7 episode having people openly scheme against them but they sat on their idols and successfully orchestrated a vote split. What the gently caress?!

I know we're going to get on Laurel for not pulling the trigger, and I absolutely think this was the week. But I'm really don't think that even if she wanted to do it she could have. Besides Donathan's implosion and Kellyn's massive ego who the gently caress knows if Sebastian and Angela were open to it?

Not similar. Neither Kim nor Rob had competition. At least we have two great contenders.

Yeah, Dom and Wendell are dominating this but I still don't like the "cakewalk" kind of labels. They're working hard to do this. Rob and Kim coasted.

And its not over yet. We've seen people dominate and then get taken out right at the end and leave a F3-4 of floaters. That's getting tough to take out both of Dom and Wendell with their idols, but its still possible.

There seems to have been a total miss on the editors side to show that Sea Bass was 100% with Dom/Wendall. The last couple weeks, it's just kind of came around that those 3 boys are 100% locked tight.

Sebastian wasn't needed to go 4-3 on someone. Yeah though I don't know if Donathan prevented Laurel from flipping with his freak out or if he was going stir crazy because Laurel was never going to flip and he was tired of those 2 guys being in total control. You could definitely tell some of that was kind of a backlash against those guys.

Kim did not coast. Did you see the stable of buffoons she had to manage? It wasn't like Rob; they didn't quite go gracefully to slaughter. Sabrina got a few votes, didn't she?

Based on exit interviews it sounds like there are a ton of plotlines that got edited out this season
