And btw Julia, Michele played better than you FOR SURE. You could've taken the Michele approach and go back into Cyd's and Aubry's graces, but you didn't. You were bitter and that's why you were voted out.

The preview for the next week sounds so intense.
Tai comes for Michele and wants to be the last beauty standing.
Cydney is livid at Tai.
Aubry has to choose between Tai & Cydney.
Don't know why but I felt like Aubry will lose Cydney's vote (if she makes it to the final tc) in this episode. I can see Tai/Aubry/Joe vs Cydney/Michelle/Jason and Cydney's side will lose due to Tai's extra vote. If Michelle wins another immunity, then Cyd is in danger.

Maybe she votes out Cydney and Cydney becomes very bitter... I'm worried now. I was fine with Aubry being a jury member because she was such a threat, but I'm NOT okay with her losing against anyone in the FTC.

Yeah I think the edit is lining up perfectly for a
Michelle
win.
I wouldn't be mad per say but
she
is a distant 3rd/4th favourite of mine after
Cydney and Aubrey (and Tai, I guess)
Edit: This would also make sense in terms of a lot of people saying Jeff was hyping down this season? Maybe it's a disappointing winner/final 2/3?
----
ALSO, a lot of y'all are saying this is the best season in years....
Did y'all not stan for the perfection that was Cambodia? Or is ATRL wrong again?

There were almost zero redeeming qualities to Second Chances

You're joking right?
Second Chance was a mess. I hate second chance. Boring final 3. Boring winner. Likable characters voted out too early. My favorite Tasha suddenly became unlikable. The only good thing was Legend K came out of nowhere and slayed her haters. (& Savage's blindside)
Jeff was hyping down this season probably because idol was never used. Super idol flopped hard, the medical evacuation of the males instead of female and of course a female winner. This is Jeff. He stans for Worlds Boreapart & Redemption Boredisland over Legend SJDS. SJDS was mediocre during pre-merge but the post-merge was amazing. The blindside of Josh, Jeremy, Jon, Baylor. And Legend N blindsided everyone when she played dumb and 'accidentally' voted out Alex.

Yeah, Cambodia was meh. Queens Kelley and Ciera were the only good things about that season, and I just hated that there wasn't a storyline to follow. The "voting blocks" were an awful way of playing because you literally watched only gamebots play, and not real people.
This season >>>>>>>>>>

I agree with all this except I didn't even think the pre-merge of SJDS was bad. I never understood why so many dislike it. Nadiya and Val were a messy kii, the Natalie/John Rocker fight, and Drew throwing the challenge and going home  were all great to me.
This season and SJDS are probably both in my 10 favorite seasons ever.

If Michelle wins this season would suck tbh 
She's the least deserving after Joe. If she's against either Aubry or Cydney she shouldn't win, I would be livid. She could only beat Tai or Jason because of a bitter jury. She's done nothing to actually deserve it so far

I can't believe y'all didn't love Cambodia.
It was one of the most critically acclaimed seasons in years.
It's hype (which I thought was well deserved) got me back into Survivor after I stopped watching for six years post Heroes v Villains (apart from Cagayan which I watched).
Yeah the winner was a little boring but overall I thought it was a genius season.
---
Just out of curiosity what is everyone's favourite seasons? (Sorry if it's been done).
My top five would be (keeping in mind I have only seen seasons 8-20, 28, 30, 31*):
5. Cambodia - Blindsides, Voting Blocs, K.W. slaying, every week was just fun TV.
4. Kaôh Rōng* - This season will be one of the all-time best if it's sticks the landing. A poor final three could see it fall out of my top five.
3. Cagayan - Chaos Kass, Spencer, Woo, Trish. This was one of the best bunch of characters in the show's history. Didn't care for the winner but overall a crazy, frustrating, insane but ultimately awesome season to watch.
2. Micronesia - The final three of Parvati, Amanda and Cirie were already three of my all time favourite players before this season and to have them all the end of such an iconic season was perfect. Nearly every episode was just sublime TV.
1. China - King Todd. One of the best individual strategic games played in Survivor history, so many iconic characters and hands down the best location survivor has filmed in (out of the seasons I have watched), this is easily my favourite season.
Special mention to Samoa, Gabon & Heroes v Villains.
What do you think?

1. Heroes v Villains (plus i didn't get spoiled at all, so that was an awesome ride)
2. Phillipines (Queen Denise)
Not really able to make the chart right now, but i know i enjoyed Cagayan, Samoa, and Micronesia

I just couldn't get into the insufferable players that season like Tasha, Spencer, etc.
And I don't agree Michele is only more deserving than Joe. Jason has played a horrible game. There's a reason he is ALONE and why, since the merge, he has never voted for the actual person going home. The only people who've always voted for the person voted out are Cydney and Aubry, but Michele was only out of the loop with Tai. I also think she deserves it more than Tai but that's a close one. Tai could've gone to the final 3 with Scott and Jason and he was a winner... I mean I loved his move, but let's be honest, it was a bad move for his game.

Second Chances started out amazing the premier had everything:
- Everyone got a confessional
- Amazing cinematography
- Amazing idol twist
- Really intense female edits (Overly strategic Kelley, Badass Wigglesworth, Scheming Shirin, Abi/PG Fight)
But then it devolved into the Spencer/Jeremy show. People like Keith/Kimmi/Wigglesworth/Monica were totally ignored, Spencer was praised to the high heavens and everything he did had to be documented. Then Stephen and his messy gameplay took the spotlight once the merge hit and at that point you knew Jeremy had it in the bag.
If the editing had been more balanced, Second Chances would be redeemable. But that season was just Probst' wet dream with all the females getting bad edits (Wiggles/Kimmi/Monica) or negative (Abi/Ciera/Tasha/Shirin/PG). The only female with a big positive edit was Wentworth. On the other hand Joe/Savage/Jeremy/Spencer/Jeff/Terry had huge complex positive/heroic edits.

She's going to have to do something to win, she might wow us.

You should definitely catch up on what you've missed. Seasons 1 and 7 are definitely top five material, plus you will really enjoy 4, 6, 25, 27 and 29.

I agree, I don't see why everyone loves Second Chances
But, hearing you guys talk about THIS season, it makes me want to get back into it. I only watched one episode then I took a break. I'm going to try to catch up

Micronesia will probably always be my favorite season. Such a fun mess it was. 
Second Chances had a lot of problems, but one thing that really killed it for me early on was the 1-2-3 punch of Shirin, Peih-Gee, and Jeff. Knocked the wind right out of the season. The Vytas first boot was great and we could have followed that up with Spencer, but he gets nine lives, so no...
