Kass had an AMA on reddit last night, which ended with Spencer joining the chat and them two dragging each other for filth

Why are you still here? What is this unnatural obsession you have with me Spencer? Please call your therapist. You are having another "episode".

Ponderosa was worse than they showed. Sarah, Trish and Morgan berated me, called me a *****, ****, ****, bitch, and all sorts of things for a few hours. They needed to vent and had been fueled by post-TC rum. They put me in my own room away from the other cast members my two nights there - for my own safety!

Get ha Queens

Think of the missed FTC lashings

2,4 compared to 2,3 of Cagayan's same ep. After premiere, once again above 10 mill.

Survivor's continual success is crazy good.

Um, we saw her skills. She was horrendous at Survivor. I'll give you personality, to some degree.

and Sierra is like an abused housewife that refuses to leave. Like...her idly sitting there as the same people that verbally abused her earlier in the game (+ Will) do the same to Shirin? Hate.

This!

And I don't know why they keep showing us her "pretending" to flip. Is it gonna happen or is she gonna be just another irrelevant 5/6th placer? And what is wrong with her eyelashes?

Jenn said in one of her exit interview that Sierra told her the only reason she wasn't flipping was because she knew she could beat the people she was aligned with at the end.

It's a smart strategy but I guess she just didn't get that there was no way she was getting to the end with them anyway.

Where are the draft scores, geem?

I understand Sierra not flipping at Hali's boot, but last ep?? Gurl, you were in firm F3 deal now that Mike wrote of Rodney and is so emotional about 'Blue' strong, or w/e, and you jump to a side consisting of people that trashed you where you'll get 5th, at best??



I don't think she's that stupid, there must've been something more that we didn't see.

Kass' appearance on Reddit was interesting! I ended up reading the whole thing, and I love her strange relationship with Spencer.

I'm not quite sure how I miraculously still have four draft picks left at the final eight. Overall, though, the episode nearly made my blood boil. It was highly frustrating to watch one incident after another, with little smart strategical gameplay or a thrilling blindside to culminate the episode. Something's got to give out soon, though. If Shirin is the next to go, I'll freak. I started to feel like I was watching more of a reality show than the game show Survivor. This season is becoming a hot mess quick, but here are my thoughts on the remaining castaways:

Mike was the front-runner for a while now, but I think he's starting to falter. Strategically, his little stint at the auction, along with calling out Rodney's alliance, were both very poor moves. Regarding his edit, it's sort of worrying how overexposed he's become. You could point to Tony, but if I recall correctly, Tony didn't have his sort of a coronation edit at this point in the game (or ever, really?). His voice-over during the auction was downright ridiculous. On the bright side, he still has his idol. But I don't see how he sticks around much longer unless he reels Dan back in, along with probably Sierra. I'm a bit confused as to why he went along with voting Joe out, when he knew all along that he was going to be the next biggest target after Joe. He should have worked to keep Joe in the game so the target would be off of himself. Still, I think Mike and Shirin are the only two that can win the game at this point.

The editors clearly really want us to like Shirin. I do like her, but I certainly wouldn't want to have to spend more than a couple hours with her, as I think she can be somewhat of an annoying know-it-all. But, her objection to Will's request was the most glorious part of the episode! That was a moment! And she was completely in the right, too. Luckily for her, I don't think her hand raise will negatively impact her game because she had nothing to lose in that moment. Also, it's fantastic for her that almost everybody left seems to blindly see her as an unlikable goat. With Hali, Joe, and Jenn now on the jury, coupled with her intelligence, she would be possibly the biggest threat to win in the end. Let's just hope she can sneak her way there.

I like Rodney as a character, although I'm tired of listening to his thick accent. I think he's a much better villain than Dan and Will, and has been playing a decent game. It's admirable how his aggressive gameplay has resulted in him being able to rally this counter alliance to Mike's. He's a major hothead, though. I found it funny how he shouted at Mike to "relax!", as he got more heated than Mike ever was. His game will hinge on this next episode and he probably has the third best chance to win, after Mike and Shirin.

It's kind of sad what's become of Tyler and Carolyn. Kudos to them for being the only unbreakable duo left in the game, but we never get to see things through their lenses. I think Carolyn's idol will come up soon, as she'll either play it out of fear or go home with it. Carolyn's problem, I think, is that she's not adaptable and flexible enough of a player. She only works with those who she likes, and refuses to associate with nearly everyone else. That's not going to bode well when you need someone, like Shirin, for an extra vote in your favor or possibly a jury vote. Tyler, on the other hand, plays too defensively and somewhat timidly. It's one thing to play a quiet, behind-the-scenes game, but he seems afraid to make any power plays of his own. I'm not sure what he's done all game besides shield himself behind bigger, more exposed leaders like Rodney and Mike. I don't see either of them making it to the end.

Others say that Sierra is playing smartly by keeping the "goats" close to her, but we never get to see what she's thinking. Consistently voting with people like Dan and Will in the hopes that you'll get to sit next to them in the end makes sense, but she's going about it wrong. You need to be able to detail to the jury certain game-changing moves that you spearheaded, but Sierra has none to speak of. She'll either be booted around F4-F6 for her coasting along not having pissed anybody off (like Brenda), or will be a zero-vote recipient in the end. I predict the former.

I'm thoroughly amused that the two biggest goats this season, Dan and Will, are both men. I've gotten so used to women being treated as goats over the string of recent seasons that it's actually refreshing to see these two fat dudes stupidly think they have a shot at the million. Dan has spoken about what a superfan he is, which would imply he's calculating and logical, but he's actually much more of an emotional player. Hopefully he can at least do simple "math", stay in line with his "flippers never win" mantra, and put his advantage to good use by sticking with Mike. They may need to pull over Sierra, though. Will is just a deplorable excuse for a Survivor player. He's a prime example of a recruit gone wrong - he doesn't really understand how to play the game and clearly can't handle the stresses of the game, and should have never been casted.

Your write-ups are always so spot on.

You should try to get on the show tbh. I think you'd be a great player.

Thanks, sweetie.

Oh dear

[Lexiel]

Shirin is the only beacon of light in this turd infested season.

RIP Worlds Apart.

[Price of Fame]

wtf @ the last three sentences. They have nothing to the rest of the post.

and dont you just LOVE it when a straight white male (who is fat + ugly, but I digress) lectures on the best way to achieve equality?

[Ivory.]

I'm pretty sure you're allowed to call someone a "fat ****ing piece of ****" after they tell you that no one loves you and that you have no family though.

[bowdown]

Dan

Shirin has to win. (Or maybe Mike.) It's only way to save this season.

Ewwww, Dan is one of those just-stop-talking-about-inequality-and-it-will-go-away idiots? I didn't realize I could hate him more.
