Nah, I'm sure she'll know it was Mary and Mary wasn't in her alliance.

Interesting that Kevin and Justin don't seem thrilled by their vote. I think this was a case of, "it's too soon for a big move," but they clearly don't trust Sai.

Interesting - Sai might play her idol because she thinks Stephanie played her shot in the dark.

Oh Sai honey - you're talking yourself right out of this game.

Ooh, silent Justin apparently is not so silent. Interesting he didn't tell Sai that Stephanie and Mary are throwing her name.

Is it my imagination or is that team non-flag they're carrying new? Or did I just not notice during the last season. I feel like that's exactly why it won't be him. If he was the first out, they'd have given him some focus. Plus he's in Sai's alliance that is likely to dictate the vote. Assuming they don't realize that it'd be smart to get rid of her.

The green team put a piece in wrong and that screwed up on up the whole puzzle.

Siva looks like they're going to falter at the puzzle. Puzzles always get a tribe.

Kevin won the competition against Kyle, which got him the supplies.

How the hell did he break the jug?

Yeah I think my girl may be getting ahead of herself. If they lose immunity, guaranteed the others will use the, "playing too hard, we can't trust her..." excuse to go after her.

Did that guy say he avoids water? Did water suddenly get filled with calories I didn't know about.

My thought exactly. I don't want to seem insensitive but damn dude, the game just started.

I actually like having fans of the show competing. It feels as genuine as you can get from a reality show.

As someone who doesn't have a visceral dislike for Marian, I thought there was the right amount of her in this episode and it hit all the right notes. She came through regarding the case, while still dealing with the natural trauma of what she went through. I thought the final scene with her and Will was really sweet. I like Ariana Maddix just fine and thought she aquitted herself well enough but honestly, I hated this subplot in this episode. It just felt very random and off-putting when the A-plot was focused on child sex trafficking. I'm not saying I'm against some fun and funny moments, especially since this show does that very well. I just think this episode was perhaps not the one for that sub-plot. As for Betty, at first I was surprised to see Will leave her outside tied to a tree but it quickly occurred to me that knowing Will, Betty probably has some hidden tracker that's linked to some app on his phone, where the second she's touched, it'd go off. I wouldn't categorize Will and Marian's relationship as revolving around trauma since Marian wasn't dealing with any trauma when they first got together. She was actually a pretty normal and well-adjusted person, messy relationship issues aside. She went through a very recent traumatic incident and is naturally affected but honestly, she seems to be coping as healthy as possible. She's not bottling it up or pretending she's fine. And yes, Will is probably equipped to handle it because of his own trauamas and also because he's a GBI agent who deals with crazy shit all the time. I actually thought their conversation at the end of the episode was pretty healthy. He acknowledges what she's been through and leaves it to her to let him know what she needs.
