    New sit out rule: players can not sit out back to back.  Whoever sits out this time has to participate next time.  I guess this is the effect from that player last season who sat out every time (what was her name, Claire?)

    I was thinking the same. Couldn't remember her name but girlfriend got herself voted out because she sat out damn near every challenge.

    Good lord. 2 people want to go home already.

    it’s been what, 48 hours?

    Brandon's the worst because according to him he's wanted to do the damn show since he was a kid. Like what the hell dude?

    Listen, I love watching this show but I know I'd never apply for it because I KNOW I don't do slumming and I like my comforts.

  3. Well now I feel a little bad for 'ol Emily, who apparently is also just awkward asf. Her being on the chopping block is being too heavily telegraphed so I doubt she's the first one out. 

    eta: And of course everyone knows "stealth" dude is obviously looking for an idol or an advantage.

      She just needs to remember to not say the quiet parts out loud.

    And that's where the confrontational part of my comment comes from. She could have saved that comment about what Bruce said to her tribe when they were alone. Sort of, "yeah I'm not buying that no advantage spiel." And some would have likely agreed with her. 

    Instead she loudly calls the guy out, not really knowing much about him and let's face it, he really did leave before doing anything. He didn't even make it to the first Immunity Challenge. And

    Okay, Emily is so going to get herself voted out.  The one thing I don't like about her is she thinks she's smarter than she is.  But this is coming back to bite her big time.  She needs to relax.  

    Called it from that first exchange with Bruce. There is a difference between being opinionated versus confrontational.

    Wow, Emily's going to be outspoken this season.  I can feel it (and I'm here for it).  

    I don't know. Seems a little annoying to me and like someone who's going to talk her way right into putting a massive target on her back.

    This feels like a performative cover your ass move.

    Like a lot of what she does. It's like when some of her batshit crazy Swifities were attacking SZA online because SZA was on track for something like four or five straight weeks of her album being #1 on the Billboard charts. 

    Mind you, SZA's overall sales weren't even close to Taylor's. However, her numbers were still very impressive and there was a lot of industry support around the strong staying power her album was showing. Well that was enough to rankle some of the Swifities' feathers because no one is allowed to succeed but Taylor. 

    After weeks of many calling out how side-eying it was for an artist who claims to be some huge feminist staying quiet as some of her fans viciously attacked a black woman, Taylor's great statement was to make an IG Story saying how she liked one specific SZA song. Such profound allyship. 

    But speaking of SZA, there was also her coincidentally releasing a millionth vinyl version of Midnights, complete with reducing all the other million vinyl versions to $0.65, right as SZA was on path to get her fifth week at number one. Many saw this as an obvious ploy to pad her album numbers and push it back to No. 1

    I wrote a post a long time ago in this thread, when it was first created, that I absolutely respect Taylor's talent as a songwriter and producer (I refuse to believe she's an amazing vocalist - she's serviceable at best). However, I think there is a Machiavellian element to her personality that makes her incredibly shrewd and manipulative.

    I assumed she might have thought it was fake at Ponderosa, because the other Matthew found out his was fake, so I can't believe these conversations didn't come up.  And then all of this lead up of fake idols right before Probst's reveal, and she's still surprised?

    It may be because Matthew had the real one and left the game with it. So all the other players from her original tribe knew they didn't have it, so it'd be easy to believe hers was the real thing. 

  9. Did not see that coming but in a way it makes sense. Because Yam Yam was so close to being out so many times and he fought and clawed his way to stick around and outlast everyone else and he did play a fairly strategic game.

    Would have been nice to see Carolyn get a vote and also I just wanted to be right if she won. But I'm not too pressed or even shocked by this winner like I was last season with Gabler. 

    Yam Yam's win does make me think that Carson likely would have won if it was the Tika 3 in the Final 3 because I do think the jury felt he was the overall brains of the trio.

  10. I feel like Heidi definitely played on the emotion the most and may have worked. I did laugh at Yam Yam's not so subtle eyeroll when she made the case of voting for her because she'd be the oldest female winner. 

    Btw, is that true? Because I would have sworn Tina was in her 50s or so when she won. Or maybe she just looked that old.
