Yes i get that. My thing is - does Noelle and Owen know Sami and Karla have a thing
Yeah. It was a bit ambiguous in the broadcast. Sami’s going to Karla could have blown the entire plan if Karla felt some loyalty to James and gave him the heads up.

Is there any question any more? That was the most heavy winners edit episode that I can remember.

The entire episode was showing how wonderful Jesse is and how he decided to eliminate noelle and how he did it. They even used he on-screen notes to emphasize how thought out his plan was.

We get it. Jesse is a good player and deserves the win…

but was that a red herring?? when watching this week, i thought Jesse would go home this week, because he basically said this game is easy for me right now... which it is...

Did the show foreshadow though a future alliance of Gabler and Karla to take down Jessee and Cody? All Karla needs is an inch and she will take a mile.

But he never said the cursed words. He just demonstrated his mastery of manipulating all the also-rans.

Cassidy is still very much alive.

Sami is dead as a door nail now as a contender.

No surprise last night. Pick the champion was kind of cool. Has the Shot in the Dark ever been a success. ? I dont think it has.

It's a 1 in 6 chance, so more often than not it won't work.
Has it been played at least 6 times in the history of Survivor?

And yet, for the Monty Hall puzzle, they both used the wrong logic and wound up guessed correctly.

I don’t think it is 1/6. I think it is 1/[# of players still in the game]

Great challenge by the way. It was brutal. Glad they went with 2 winners
It might have actually broken the challenge going forward. Can’t really have a challenge where it is possible to not have a winner.

IDK... I dont think it hurts the challenge to have multiple winners... if deserving..

What was funny and odd was how cold they kept saying it was and then Owen is the 2nd one back in the water after 2 minutes of being out.

Awarding multiple winners as an on-the-fly solution is fine, imho. But they need to at least come up with a phase 2 or a tie breaker moving forward. Multiple winners throws the game out of whack, imho (Unless designed ahead of time, like Cody’s immunity).

If it truly was cold, after that long in the water, it is colder out of the water than in the water for the person who just got out.

I thought that as well but none of them looked that cold out. I thought Cass would be chattering her teeth after that.

It kind of adds a new layer though , not that the show needs one but there have been multiple winners before or 1st and 2nds , just not this late in the game. You throw a double winner challenge in this late and it could change a lot of strategy. Ive heard plenty of times , well if they have an idol - we need to go here. Ive never heard well if they have a double winner what do we do. That Champion thing was big eventhough we know Cody didnt need it. He would have been my choice to win by the way. No way he kept that shit secret either.
