Did the boys make the right choice?

Will Farris flip his shit?

Who will win immunity?

These are questions one could ask about this episode.

Man, I missed a lot.

First of all... in response to a few things in the last topic:

Also, I love everything that is happening with Vanessa and the gays. It reminds me of when I was playing as Vladimir Putin in Survivor States and got this message: Some people try to make connections, but just suck at it.

Who in hell doesn't know who Vladimir Putin is? How on earth can someone be so ignorant of CURRENT EVENTS? I mean the Olympics just happened over there and he talked about them like he gave birth to them, and then this whole Ukraine/Crimea fiasco has turned him into a Soviet Premier.

I like the idea of picking a "celeb" to troll with. Hilarious.


Pre-swap boots (4): David, Rachel, Sophia, Farris
Post-swap boots (3): Carmen, Pryce, Hien
Early merge boots (4): Beth, Landon, Jed, Elias
End game boots (4): Mary, Keisha, Trent, Will
Final 3: Abram, Vanessa, Ilana

...yeah that's kind of a weird dynamic, but it could happen! Anything could!

It's only round one, but my thoughts are that the guys lose this round and boot an increasingly unstable Farris. Then the girls lose the next challenge and take out Rachel and then, feeling that a swap is going to happen, they throw the challenge to get rid of Sophia so she doesn't flip and cost them anything.

Then the swap happens with even numbers. The guys gun for Carmen first since they can't get a read on her and feel that she's dangerous and/or playing both sides. Pryce has a target on his back thanks to Landon, and it will catch up with him when Will or possibly even Landon sells him out. Hien is seen as one of the key pieces of the girls and gets the target because of it.

The merge happens and everyone agrees that Beth is a mega-threat and needs to go to jury fast. Then Vanessa/Keisha/Ilana/Mary see that they're outnumbered by guys. Will flips with them and Abram goes along too, surprising Landon and Elias, followed by an easier boot of Jed. That's when Vanessa makes a huge power play and votes out Mary, also seeing her as a threat. Keisha follows, followed by an easy boot in Trent who is just kinda Carter-ing at this point.

The final four goes to a tiebreaker between the two guys and two girls, with Ilana winning over Will, leaving us with a final three.

...yeah, maybe, I'm probably very wrong -_-



Did the boys make the right choice?
No. The first vote is meant to get rid of the weakest or most disruptive member. They did neither. What had David done to warrant that? Nothing yet, he just had the "potential" to do it. And we all know Kevin - he does that shit all the freaking time. I think the best move was to boot Trent and not only get rid of the only guy to not show up for the challenge but to keep tribe unity. Even in ORGs, divided tribes tend not to do as well in challenges because they're all stressed about the game. I foresee that happening here, especially since the girls are currently experiencing some unity. I fully expect that to fall apart either this round or next to the point that they lose the third challenge.

Will Farris flip his shit?
Yes. He was hoping it was "just drama" and well, he's found out that Landon isn't that trustworthy.

Who will win immunity?
I'm thinking the girls will, unless Sophia or Carmen no-shows. Or both. But I'm picking Novicosta this round, but Indeprimo will fight back next round.




As for the Pryce being blamed thing... it's very interesting, since it forces Pryce to abandon his original intent to be an Assassin type. It makes him into a bigger player than he actually is right now, which means he might have to try to sniff out the snake in the grass (Landon) and cut its head off. I am expecting great trainwrecks from the guys' tribe the next time they go to TC.

As for the girls? Rachel is toast. Nobody likes her. When will Ted learn how not to rub people the wrong way? Oh right... never. He hasn't in four years -_-

I like your analysis Bree, although I don't think that Pryce is going to get heat at all. Will is already uncertain of Landon and puts the blame on him. Pryce is going to come out of this looking a lot more concrete and respected than Landon IMO.

What's interesting is that Elias is going to be the one who Will reaches out to after this vote, when Elias is the one who instigated it in the first place. Elias is playing the best out of that tribe, and I feel like he's going to keep Will safe. If they lose go to TC two more times, I expect Trent and Farris to go. I think that things will get flippy after that.

Hmm, I must have missed that about Will. Landon may not realize it - he is playing well, but if he gets caught, it's all in how he manages to get himself out of it. I see Landon as AS material.

Elias is indeed running shit over there. I see him as playing a "Bastard" type of game right now (hey Gabe) and it's working very, very well for him. It could come back to bite him if a swap doesn't fall the right way for him, though - he could be the one who looks large and in charge. Or it could be Pryce. I think Pryce could be the one set up at the merge, given how he's already being set up to take a fall.

I expect Five Guys to fall apart pretty quickly given all the shadiness that's going on around Indeprimo. And we are gonna love it.

I'm just mad Skylar is ruining Annie's long lost cousin

Is it possible to disable the "Reputation" function on the board until there's a challenge that uses it? It's getting annoying nearly a year later to still be receiving IMs from Dominic bitching about me supposedly smiting him like I don't have better things to do with my time D:(

Also, lol @ my reputation dramatically going down since the last time I looked. Way to "get me back," Dom! X|

This is so incredibly silly.

Everyone please exalt Dominic so he doesn't jump. Tysm. I'll exalt you more later tonight baby!

lolwut?

Anyway, I still don't think David going was the way to go with the last Judgement, but it'll be hella interesting to see where it's going to go from here. The girls pulling off another win so that we can see how that turns out would be great.

Unless Farris was to go, that is. That shit would just be tragic lol

Plus there's plenty of basic bitches that deserve earlier boots.
*cough Rachel and Sophia cough*

s8: dominic vs. thiago

who will be russell, who will be rob?

Thiago will be the little girl crying in the corner calling me a bully again because I look at him the wrong way lolz

Man up. Seriously.

I have -10 reputation and it's indicative that people WANT to give me attention. Yes, it's silly, but do you see me asking for Moses to disable it? -3 is NOTHING.

I'm with Dom. Man up. Seriously.

OMG I HAVE NO REPUTATION.

Rachel @ 1/4/2014 17:33

Everything just feels really awkward right now, kind of like how I feel when I sprint and my breasts jumble all over the place and smack me in the face, just awkward.

You have a penis.

Stop making it obvious.

rachel <33

i hope she somehow makes it to the swap

Bree, it has nothing to do with the -3. I could care less. Most of us could care less.

Dominic, however, does care about reputation--which is his own prerogative, to each their own--but has taken it upon himself to harass me in IM about my "passive aggressive smiting" of him. If he thinks I'm some loser who has the time to sit on the computer and smite him all day, he's welcome to, but when his parannoying tendencies result in bugging me in IM like a two-year old, I take offence. Of course, I can block him, but I do like Dominic, just not this side of him. So, since it's obviously causing problems and is completely useless at this stature, I asked if it can just be disabled.

I don't need to man up. Dominic needs to grow up.
