Survivor

I still don’t have all the names down yet, so it is hard to really recognize a strong edit trend. But I have noticed a lot of Sam, Andy, Sue and Teeny. Put a gun to my head at this point, I would same Sue and Sam have no chance. Andy has the redemption story going for him and teeny is the quiet schemer who is probably getting more air time than she deserves based on what she has done so far (which is a tell tale sign that she will be a late game player).

WAY early and VERY incomplete, but I will be the first to drop an early prediction that Teeny wins.

If you are unable to see my previous post. It is the schoolyard pick for the challenge. Interesting choices.

I was shocked they didn’t show that. BIG TIME (potential) game ramifications. I actually verbalized that it was BS they just glossed over that whole part in the broadcast.

when you post a tweet, you need to manually change the “x” to “twitter” for it to show up. There is a long thread in the “members” forum complaining about this site behavior.

Did u watch it ? I was shocked Rome went so late and of course Andy being dead last. Also maybe me being biased but i was a little suprised Rachel went before Sierra considering the Sam/ Sierra connection.

Gotcha. I had never done it before. I just thought some might like to see it.

No spoilers here… just an interesting piece by Dalton on how Probst tallies the votes before reading them.

Its been awhile since there has been an All Starish season. Im guessing they will do one in season 50

One player is getting a HEAVY winners edit.

Teeny.

She isn’t doing ANYTHING in the game, but she is getting a LOT of commentary time, so we always know where she stands on the goings on in the game.

At this point, I can just about guarantee she is AT LEAST top 3.

I agree about Teeny. The girl i thought would make a run at it was put in a rough spot last night and pulled through thanks to Sol. I just wonder if they saw she was in real trouble simply because of the draw of rocks ( out of her control ) and decided to throw her a possible lifeline with the advantage. I mean it did have to be played last night. Probably not , but it did cross my mind. Brutal tribal council for that group of 5. I just wonder if Rachel was there vote. Im guessing yes. I hated it for T. She seemed to be a good player.

Anyone notice that lefty swing by Sierra when they were attempting to play baseball. Looked pretty good.

Im enjoying this season. Im pulling for Kyle. Not sure about his social game though.

He has not gotten any commentary time. He will be eliminated relatively early.

Probably biggest challenge threat.

 

[calsnowskier]

Probably biggest challenge threat.

He APPEARS to be a huge comp beast. But this week he actually finished 4th.

So why did Sol decide to save Rachel? If he let her die, he would have dropped the 4-tribe to 3 and then united the two 3-tribes against the 5-tribe.

Did he have an ulterior motive to saving Rachel, or is he just short sighted?

I thought it was odd that he didnt discuss it with anyone , unless he did and we didnt see it. He kind of has a little bond with Andy but maybe that was more damage control than anything. Its odd though because to me if you ranked the players right now on chances to win i think Sol and Rachel would be 10 and 11, in my opinion anyway. I would say no higher than 7 or 8 in most peoples ranking. Maybe they team up now. Caroline looked like a very unhappy camper at the last tribal. Its like you said though Teeny seems to be high on everyones list as an ally. Lots of game left though. Jenevieve seems dangerous to me. They better pay attention to ole Sue as well.

 

[calsnowskier]

I still don’t have all the names yet, but at this point, I think if someone hasn’t stuck out to me yet, they probably don’t have much a chance. But in the final 11, here is a rough grouping of where I think they all rank…

Teeny

Genevieve

Caroline
Andy
Sue
Rachel

Sam
Gabe
Sol
Kyle
Sierra

I think he saved her because he doesn't like his starting tribe and wants to make moves to get out some of his old tribe mates... probably geneivieve at the top...

I think his talk with Andy was genuine.. and he wants to separate...

I also think he wanted to see the other tribes true colors and they showed it,... they showed how tight they were, and they now have serious cracks...

not sure if Sol though this whole thing out... but with the thought process I am giving him, it was the smartest move...

Awesome play by Rachel! Play her SitD and read everyone’s reaction. If she loses (she did), rely on her read to play her immunity or not. Best use of the SitD yet.

Teeny was shown clearly not getting her way. Though it did show her playing hard. Overall, I think it drops her profile as far as the edit goes.

Rachel took a big step up as far as the edit goes. This entire episode was basically about her.

While Andy played on the winning vote, he appeared to think he was driving it more than he actually was. IMHO, a slight downgrade for his winning chances.

Kyle is now officially dead man walking.

Sam is now in scorched Earth mode, and that rarely ends well.

Teeny
Rachel

Genevieve
Sol
Caroline

Andy
Sam
Sue
Gabe

Kyle

Rachel is obviously a huge threat, that throughout the season has been kind of under the radar through the edit. She won me over when she tried to steal the rice . When you hear the players talk though, they clearly see her as a good player. I still am not sure who she will be able to rely on. I really thought her and Caroline would team up , but Caroline seems to want her out bad. I would love to see her , Sol , Kyle and Gabe get something together but thats 3 guys 1 girl.

I was shocked Sue won the immunity challenge.
