When approached his first question was "What next?" That implies he's at least smart enough to see through an obvious attempt at a Girlliance.

Mike and Tyler played chicken. Tyler lost.

It seemed like he honestly expected Caroline to play her Idol on him and then who knows.

Speculating about the advantage and what Jeff has said about how it plays out: It is supposed to be part of a big or important move, which given the current state of the game I could only see as either ousting Caroline with idol in pocket or Rodney. Jeff could be full of it though.

I like that we're getting groups of people talking "lol paranoid Mike" even as he calls out each of their betrayals correctly. Like Carolyn and Sierra here each privy to a different betrayal he correctly calls out.

Dan's Ponderosa video is out and it is great. Essentially 7 minutes of the editors trashing him.

Without evidence I'm gonna go ahead and claim that people hate Mike on the basis of "gently caress you, Dad!"

If Mike makes final 3 I'm turning off the show.
No jury can be entertaining enough to make this worthwhile.

Not staying for season 31?

No one will vote with Mike on Carolyn so he has to choose Rodney or Sierra.

It was the best move they could do. They all know they can't beat Mike with the jury but they have a shot of beating Caroline. So the goal is to toss Sierra so Caroline wins the next immunity and Mike is out.

Jeff wanted his "gently caress you, Dan" moment and I can't blame him.

I'd thought I had heard wrong but her name really is Monifa. Huh.

I believe at no point post-merge could any player have made a better move than they did with their vote if they played to win the game. You could argue that Tayler and Dan should have worked closer with Mike, but that would have meant that they are giving up their chance to win the overall game.

The biggest mistakes were made outside of voting, such as when Tyler told Mike the EXACT immunity idol clue.

Sort of reminds me of the "Kim and Rob's wins aren't that great because they were playing with a bunch of bozos like Christina Cha and Natalie Tenerelli" argument. Sure, but they should get a ton of credit for surrounding themselves in the endgame with those kinda people. Mike isn't in the same league as a winner as them, but he should get some credit for especially the Joe boot as after that the physical competition other than Tyler was nonexistent.

Mike's win ratio 1 in 1.

Rob's win ratio 1 in 4.

Whoa, I think people misunderstood me. Mike was a deserving winner and made for good television.

Nope, too late. Thread has decided Mike is the new Natalie and Carolyn is the new Russell.

Yup Golden Child ran off and didn't appear again until right before immunity.

I still like Crystal Cox's storyline best from that season.
