That's pretty specific lol. You're assigning way too much intelligence to that group of players. The most plausible scenario: Sandra gathered that group of five and the minority four panicked and voted how they thought would save them. Hence Sandra getting no votes.

the right move would have still been for sandra tribe to just cut hali and not fill jt in on it. jt winds up splitting his own vote, it goes 5-5, malcolm and hali dont vote, thats when you tell jt we're cutting hali. cuts a number from brad tribe thats just a swing vote that ain't helping the sandra tribe anyway. see: matt elrod and boston rob

Does anyone have the "Next Time...." for the episode before the JT letter from HVV?

Holy poo poo yes, I've been wanting to see that again for so long! Though I assume it'll get taken down soon considering you just uploaded it?

Why Sarah? She seems barely there

Gabon, Redemption Island (I personally liked it, but I'm in the minority on that), South Pacific, and Fiji come to mind.

What if... Varner did what he did but then played an immunity idol

I think that's partially why Jeff basically skipped the vote.

I'm sure Jeff knows who has the idols. If anything, it would've been done that way to keep someone else from trying to do something slick.

Joe legitimately has the worst Instagram account ever. It's a mix of terrible "inspirational" quotes from questionable people (I know I always get my advice from alleged rapists, don't you??), photos of him with his tongue hanging out, things that could be viewed as racist, and ridiculous anti-Hillary / pro-Trump memes and posts.

It's interesting to note that Sarah actually knew for a fact that Zeke's plan was to vote out Andrea in the very next vote. So she knew also that Andrea was completely correct to want to take him out. She probably ultimately did it for Cirie's sake though, since she seems to be so close to Cirie.

Sooner or later the minority is gonna start busting out all these idols and other bullshit and the majority will start taking losses even if they don't flip.

I wonder if Zeke will admit in his exit interviews that his move against Andrea was bad and he lost his mind

quote:

ZEKE SMITH: I want to zoom out a little more because I was not playing the same game that everyone else was playing. After what went down with Varner, I had no shot to win. I knew that. I knew that nobody wanted to take me anywhere near the end and that wasn’t a secret. I was the decoy vote against Hali and I knew it and I knew the reason why. You heard it in that episode that I had a compelling story. People were unwilling to get me deep into the game because people weren’t willing to sit next to me. So I didn’t just make that move against Andrea out of nowhere.

So I went to my closest two allies — Sarah, who I think was truly a close ally, and Debbie, who I incorrectly calculated as a close ally — and said, “Let’s make a move against Cirie and Andrea.” And I think Ozzy is also someone you can incorporate in that group. I said Cirie and Andrea and was directed towards Andrea and said “great,” and went about to make that move happen. And then clearly it imploded. You can say I made a move too early against Andrea, but what I also knew and what was true is that Cirie and Andrea did not have the numbers. I didn’t vote for Ozzy and that group was still able to vote Ozzy out. So it was a bit of a social gaffe, but it didn’t really change my position in the game. I was still going to go when I went. I was just trying to vote with the majority and I correctly identified the majority. They just didn’t decide to include me in the vote.

I do sometimes wish the show would adopt the Genius model of revealing things, like a player pulling out an idol and then rewinding to that moment. I know it's a formula at this point but it usually leaves no room for surprise.

What kind of internet access are you working off? It takes like 30 seconds to d/l a podcast so you could easily have the Reality RHAPups on your phone and then only d/l the ep you want just before you leave the house, and it'll be done downloading before you pick up your keys and get out the door..

it loving sucked!!! Cirie shouldn't be going home with 0 votes on her. I mean i agree they interpreted the rules correctly but that doesn't make it right. There were simply too many idols and immunities in the game, and it hosed this TC up even more than the last one got hosed up by the untransferable vote steal that they nevertheless let Sarah give to Cirie. This is the first time that Survivor throwing a lot of twists into the game clearly went way too far and hosed up the outcome of the show.
