srsly
being the ham in a monica and garrett sandwhich is a dream

Sierra has 3 friends on the Jury and was the one to stop Caryn. She is a huge threat to beat. I think she is in trouble next round...but with Caryn gone she has a better chance at immunity like Brett said.

Sierra doesn't know it but the best for her game is to try to use caryn as a vote and strike against austin/yve I think. Not sure that she knows she's next to go. Especially if next challenge is battle of si. Buys her an additional round, is F5 immunity always battle of si?

lawl, Monica and Sierra in TC

Thank you for being direct.

I must be one of the only people here not rooting for ~Austin. I find his confessionals so long-winded and hard to read. Compared to the hilarity/entertainment that Monica, Caryn, Garrett and even Sierra bring to the game rn I find it very hard to get behind Austin and his (admittedly strong) social game.

Austin seems like the likely winner to me so I'd actually love to see any of the others somehow win it all because it's unexpected at this point. But I do think Austin is in a great spot and deserves it if he gets it.

I can't decide if I love the idea of Monica winning or Monica being the cocky unapologetic runner up more. Cocky unapologetic winner Monica would be hilarious

1 Y'mra S'bor
2 Sangoma
3 Marehemu

I think it's kind of interesting seeing that because you could kind of guess at the beginning which tribes would do well compared to others. Sangoma seemed like a ticking time bomb and Y'mra S'bor seemed like a very strong tribe with a lot of targets. Marehemu all seemed like a cohesive group that kind of stayed middle of the road and just kept their cool in the game for the most part.

But the exact group of people that are here now aren't quite the group I expected.

Austin - Not surprised he is here, though there were times it seemed his game time was up. He has kept a cool head and has been very calculative. I think it's been hard for people to pick up on him because there were always bigger targets to take out or bigger relationships. He has kept his cards very close and has done a good job at maneuvering.

Caryn - Obviously painted herself a target from the beginning. Even from the Tribal stages, I'm not sure Caryn had much of a choice in merge other than to win challenges. I'm not certain at what point she would have been voted out in merge without immunity wins, but the fact she is in final 6 is well done. I wonder if she would be making it farther though if she just didn't have such a record in challenges.

Garrett - It's so funny that he is here because he likely should have been one of the first to go on original Sangoma. I feel like this guy has had an uphill climb and he is hilarious. Happy to see him here, but my chance of getting a Garrett win are so small.

Monica - I honestly didn't expect her to be here at all. I think she has made strong bonds going through the game that have kept her around and maybe even her personality and lack of keeping her mouth shut has actually helped her game and to getting where she is. I think people see her as a goat, so it's about whether or not she can shed that persona come final tribal (if she makes it). If she can prove she wasn't so crazy and it was all a ruse, then I think she could pull it out. I don't know if I want Monica to win or not, but she would be deserving. Maybe it's because she is playing Monica...I don't know. Monica.

Sierra - This girl is crazy and I also think it's hilarious she is even still in this game. She has to be one of the most emotionally driven players I've ever seen which is fun to watch at times, but gosh it would be frustrating during the game and to be aligned with her. She is very strong willed which is nice, but I just don't see her making it to the end without immunity wins and at that point, I don't think she could pull out the win unless people are against voting for the person she is sitting next to. She may go into the FTC as a leading favorite (I haven't read the Jury), but I think that would quickly die out once any of the other potential finalists get to plead their cases.

Yve - I've never particularly enjoyed Yve, but she's been a great addition to the cast. Like one of those people on Survivor that you don't cheer for, but you know their presence in the game made the show better and you wouldn't actually mind having as a winner because they are deserving. If Yve makes the end, I think she has a strong chance to win it all depending on the Jury's perception. Yve just came across catty to me, but I don't know how others viewed her. If she can make the end and make a move on Austin before final tribal, I would say she has this. I would also put the bet on Yve to win an endurance final challenge over Austin/Monica anyway.

Austin moved Yve up from 4th to 3rd

haha what

I totally forgot how much Austin liked Caryn in the beginning - and how she kind of disregarded him even knowing this. Lol

I'm curious if Caryn is trying to work someone on any other angle

Monica voted Caryn. Good idea for her tbh, better to just blend. Caryn will understand I'm sure

Caryn's boot will be the first unanimous one of the merge

Really? I didn't even notice. I'm glad you endorse it, though.

Morocco's first unan merge boot was at the Final Six too! Good move for Mon IMO although I sorta wanted her to vote for Garrett.
