Isn't Ben a phony as well?  Being completely passive aggressive to Cole.  You know if Chrissy did something like that to Cole, she would get crucified for that.

On the island or at final tribal? On the island, sure he talked bad about him behind his back, with good reasons, but so what if he act cool in front of him? That's not phony. I guess in real life that would be phony. But in real life, you don't have to be around Cole. On the island, you still gotta play Survivor. That's not phony.

Chrissy on the other hand prepared on every Survivor, knowing at least something about them, but I don't think she sincere about it. See how she acts around you when she wants you gone. To Ben, to Ali, a small degree to Ashley.

Also, I think Cole said just because you know something about me doesn't mean we have a close relationship and Ryan said she was just spewing facts. I don't see her being sincere, especially about Joe. She hated Joe.

as regard to the twist.  Remember, Ben was on his way to winning the final challenge.....and not just once.  He very well could have won and then Chrissy would have got a chance to make fires.  

Chrissy lost because she's a phony and most everyone saw it.  If she's still unemployed with her credentials, it's by her choice.  unless the potential employers watched the show and realized the personality they would be bringing on board.

I agree. I don't see Ben as arrogant. I see Chrissy as a phony.

[S35.E16: Reunion Special]

The season is too short. I think I would prefer 24 Survivors and 52-59 odd days like the Australian Survivor and a final 2 instead of 3. There are only 13 episodes. Maybe because they broadcast 2 seasons in 1 year, it's 26 episodes and that's like 1 season for them.

Ugh. I felt bad for Ben when he lost the final immunity challenge, but my next thought after that was, "I guess that's the risk you take when your strategy relies on winning immunity to get to the end." I was very disappointed that there was a twist in the game to give him another chance. In general, I don't like the idea of adding a twist right at the end, because I feel like, in order for things to be fair, people need to be able to base their plans on something, even if it's just understanding the basic format of the game. He played better than most of the others in that he could keep a secret and tell a lie, but this was a disappointing season.

 

That's not a fair assessment. When everybody is against you, what choices do you have left? He didn't chose to have no alliance. The alliance turned on him and the rest follows suit, since their head won't be on the chopping block.

 

Anyway, like Ryan said, social parlayed into strategy. With that in mind, I have a problem with Joe arguing again with Ben about their arguments on the island. Is Joe too stupid to see that his social game hurt him? He accused Ben of causing chaos when it was him the one causing chaos. He's the one starting arguments. And calling people goats among other crass behavior here and there in little moments.

 

As for Cole wanting Ben to clear his name, he also can't self-examine his own behavior to see how rude and selfish he was.  He put the whole spoon holding the jam into his mouth then put it back in the jar. When he caught a decent size fish, he cooks then eats it alone. I believe that eating is not part of gameplay for some Survivors. It's real. So when you have something, you share it. Because everybody is out there surviving.

 

I think Ben spoke very poorly at final tribal. He may said in response to Cole that it was strategic, but I believe what Ryan said, that social parlayed into strategic. So I believe that Ben was just humoring Cole...and Joe. And that comes off as insincere. If I was in Ben's shoe, I would just call out Cole and reinforce my opinion. If Cole won't give me the million because of it, it just speaks clear about his character.

 

And I forgot about who asked the question, "why you deserve it"? I thought it was outwit, outplay, outlast. Is it American Idol where we gonna listen to their sob story so they deserve the money? Tell me why Tony Vlachos won the million? I thought most of the jury knows what Survivor is about?

[S35: Chrissy Hofbeck]

I dont like Chrissy at all. She's rude to you if she found out that you lied to her like Ben did. It's Survivor, what do you expect? She's just another potential bitter jury, after 35 seasons, you'll never get rid of bitter juries. Like in that episode where she ask Ben why after it was outted that he was a spy, she accused him of being rude or something all the whilst herself being rude about it, but she justified it for herself in confessionals. It's Survivor, that's the game. The game is people get played, they get lied to. I thought she said she's a fan of the show for 16 years. I cant stand that kind of behavior. Where she's so ignorant of how she's behaving and her backwards logic behind it. Backwards logic where she's rude to you because you lied to her and but she accuses you of being the one that is rude for lying to her. I hate those kinds of people.

 

She did that with Ali and Ashley as well. Where she acts like if you're not working with her, then she dont like you and she wants to get you out. She cant separate between gameplay and personal feelings.

[Australian Survivor - General Discussion]

I have to say, Jericho didn't speak well at final tribal. Tara performed better. A shield is something that protects you. You don't stab your shields. A shield is someone you're working with, in an alliance with. And when they target your alliance, they target your shields first. Henry was a target, not a shield. Sarah was a friendly casualty, becoz of Michelle's butthurt feelings, not a shield. Only Luke was a shield. Jericho only made two points in final tribal. That he used his cookies to get his shields and army, and that he lied, manipulate etc. The thing is, his cookie shield army is his main point. When interrogated, he defended with the other point, that he lied ect. He seemed genuine about his cookie metaphor. He even credits his best move as that. And that just made him look clueless and lucked into the final. Becoz he is dead wrong with his cookie metaphor. Maybe it was only convenient that way things turn out for him. This game does have an element of luck involved. Maybe he got lucky and bumbling his way into the final and perception is that he played all right.

I agree with what Henry said. All the big players are out, and Tara didn't start playing till day 40. She was just a social player, not strategic. But she makes her move near the end, and it can argue that that's clutch. It does have some merit. I was even considering her as the winner, becoz Jericho's speech soured for me. For me, her merits went up becoz of Jericho's stupid cookie metaphor. But I can never agree with her that you should take the best to the end. She tried to own that play as a risky play like you should get a medal for taking that risk. But why take the risk? The weak can eat the strong. It's stupid trying to own up that risk, letting the strong potentially eat the weak. But you will have people like that in a new show. US Survivor 1 was like that too in the final. So that makes it easier to pass. Just chalk it up to people having diff opinions about what Survivor means.

Sarah and Luke were like, Michelle has the best game when she got to the jury villa. Becoz she went after them, so that put her a rung above them, as they say. So I wonder which way Luke would vote if she's in the final with Jericho. If Tara votes Jericho out at the final 4, the Pete will win the final immunity and vote Michelle out. Michelle's only scenario to reach the final is to never betray Jericho. And Tara potentially cost Pete the win. Anyway, Pete definitely thought more highly of himself than me of him. I thought of him more as getting lucky with the Henry, Luke and Sarah votes. He can't really own those moves. He was just a pawn of those voting blocs, though he wanted those votes anyway. Just chalk it up to getting lucky, playing subtle, play with the hand your dealt with, and at least is more strategic than Tara. That would have been fine for me. I don't think he made big moves.

In the end, Tessa and Lockie are biased. Luke? Who knows if he would vote for Michelle. I'm happy some survivors have similar opinions as me. That Michelle was the favourite. Henry that Luke was the best player and all the best players are out. Tara did well in the final. Jonathon mentioned Lockie as a big player. Maybe more like literally. He's the same as Tara. Except he's big, strong, macho, good-looking, can win immunity. But he's not a strategic threat. So he's not a threat at tribal council, where the true arena is.

Tara gave it all to Jericho. Dumb. He's the obvious favorite to win any final challenge. And he just played hard to the whole jury. She should have read their faces... Jericho has the votes. Her game ended right there. 

How can she read their faces? She has no game awareness. I would say she lost a long time ago.

Just watched last night and loved the peg challenge and the advantage of voting out a jury member.  Both fresh ideas but sure sucks for Tessa.

US Survivor has done it b4. But less gimmicks now. It is 35 seasons in. Don't need gimmicks much anymore. What Tara does this ep doesn't really matter for her game though. Why would you take the best to the end? Does she think Jericho is the best? Doesn't she think Michelle qualifies as well? Does she think she has a chance against either Jericho or Michelle? Doesn't matter in the end. She can't win if most of the jurors are like Tessa and I think most are.

Peter telling Jericho that Tara is the vote is a bad lie. Telling him it's Michelle would be better. Not saying it would change the results, but who knows? And maybe not pull Michelle away for more one on one talk. At this point, Boston Rob would just make sure everybody is at camp, chilling, so the plan doesn't change. You do have to keep an eye on Jericho though, make sure he's comfortable.

But he had a good plan. Just bad execution. If Jericho goes, he has a good chance to win the last immunity challenge. That is until I saw the preview. Why would they go back to the same stupid finale challenge as last year? Why can't they follow the US style? With a mix of physical and puzzle? That challenge is so stupid. Just standing there until it's dark. Maybe till breaking dawn. So stupid, so pointless. Just make it a real game, a real challenge, physical and puzzle. For fuck sake.

I would feel bittersweet if Michelle can make it to the finale. Not that I'm rooting for her to go. I don't mind if she wins. She most probably deserves it, with seeing who's left. But I feel Sarah and Luke were better players than her. Kinda an oxymoron that they got voted out b4 her, but that's the nature of Survivor. Like AK says, the mouse can eat the cat in Survivor.

I don't approve of the jury tampering but I did approve of the challenge that got them there. I was amazed Jericho won as I thought he would be at a severe disadvantage due to his teeny-tiny limbs.

Did Tessa get kicked out of the Jury Villa? Sent home? Sent to a real exile island?

After Tessa's answer to Jericho's magic question, surely the remaining contestants realise it's in their best interest to have Tara at the Final Tribal.

 

She left the villa. On the car ride, she hinted that the jurors are analytical types. They want to reward a survivor that engages with gameplay. So I wonder how Lockie would do if he's in the finale. Also wonder how unbias Luke, Lockie, and even Tessa, if she could stay, would be. She also thinks that it's still anybody's game, minus Tara. Which I agree. It depends on the final pitch, final speech. If I'm a juror, I'm 51 Michelle, 49 Jericho. Peter is a total blank. I would need to hear his pitch.

Jarryd probably meant that Jericho should be wary of Michelle.

Interesting challenge,  interesting reward, right choice made.

Are you saying Jericho made the right choice for himself or you just don't like her?

[Australian Survivor - General Discussion]

It's like a first impression thing and perception is reality thing. We see a big macho guy, everybody drawn to him vs a quiet guy. What has Lockie done, if he's gonna call Pete a goat? He doesn't get Survivor. He can't even play the social chess well so his 'play hard' thing is probably something stupid, especially if he things Tara has played a great game.

Michelle is so pliable. I kinda understand her play. She's hoping for 3 votes for Peter and Lockie still play his idol, and go back to camp 'in' with Lockie. But that's becoz she thinks Lockie will win immunity. But she'd made the fool if it works. I don't know if she sincerely subscribed to Lockie's thing about beating the best in the finale. I mean, Survivor is a social chess where you get rid of the big threat, not keep them in. He would actually made a notable move if he pulled it off. But his every pitch is so self-serving, today's ep and yesterdays ep.

I wonder about what the jury favours from the survivors though. A lot of them seems to be 'thinking players'. Would they give Lockie the money? We'll never know now that he's out.

I mean Pete didn't fuss when told to vote for Henry, Luke, and Sarah. When he goes for Lockie in these last 2 eps, willing to draw rocks, it shows me he has convictions behind his votes, so it doesn't matter for me that he was used as a number. Granted, he was tight with Tessa for the Henry vote, so it's just a hyperbole. He didn't draw any attention with his votes. But his convictions tells me he is a thinking player. And Lockie is definitely not a thinking player, so that's the thing that gets me. Perception is reality and first impressions, from the fans, and Im afraid from the jurors that Lockie actually deserves the half mil. And of course, Lockie thinks he made big moves or whatever and Pete has done nothing.

I mean, Lockie didn't vote with convictions when Henry told him who to vote. Should be an easy no brainer vote but Henry has to convince him who to vote for. It was just a name to him. He's not a thinking player.

[Australian Survivor - General Discussion]

So twice Tara outted someone's plan then act super-defensive, super-denial when confronted. After seeing how she behaves this ep, I think acting this way is her way of playing her game, like actually, she knew all along. Still doesn't explain why she flipped on Luke. Guess she just got convinced by Lockie and Ziggy.

See, I told you Lockie wants everything his way. Michelle is now the second person to say this now. She's not saying that just for that particular instance. She's talking about him as a whole. They only show 1 hour out of 72 in US survivor. I don't know why Au survivor has around 50 days. So, what? Maybe they show 1 hour out of 96 in Au survivor. Even Peter knows what kind of person Lockie is. These things don't come out of nowhere.

And he thinks he made big moves. So smug. Plz. He only votes where Henry tells him to. And his only move was getting Luke out. And Luke only conveniently became a target becoz of 2 things. He didn't manage Michelle and Lockie wins immunity. Well, credit to him anyway. But where are the rest of his big moves? What about his great alliance of 8 in a 9 person tribe in old Samatau? How that worked? And how today's tribal worked for him, in the true arena of social chess and tribal council? And then he also mentioned he was on the bottom a bunch of times. My god. So smug.

I am warming up to Peter now. I think I understand his game now. He's the type that plays nice with his alliance and don't draw much attention to himself. Him, Tessa, Jarrad, and Ziggy when they were still together. They play collectively. And he always go with the right votes, Henry, Luke, even though he was used as a number. Lockie judged him wrong when he thought he could use him as a number too. But he got backbone and follows through with who he wants to vote, even risking himself drawing rocks, becoz he knew that's the best move, as he would say, "the best move'. And he was the one 'shown' actively trying to convince Tara; I thought Jericho would pounce on the chance to take the lead now Luke is gone. I don't think Peter is that much of a goat anymore.

You don't really like a lot of the girls, do you? I don't like her, you don't like that girl's voice, you think Lockie is a good-hearted doofus, we really judge people differently. Completely night and day.

[Australian Survivor - General Discussion]

I've been thinking....Luke said Tessa was gonna flip as soon as they got rid of Lockie. So put yourself in Tessa's shoes. You hate Lockie. You want him out. Tessa is also smart enough to know that Luke is a threat. You're on the bottom of his alliance anyway. As soon as Lockie is gone, you'll take Pete, get Ziggy and Tara and it'll be 4v4. So the 6 majority alliance was only gonna last for 1 tribal. That's how it goes the whole season as well. So Luke didn't fail becoz he got Tessa out. It's becoz he didn't manage Michelle before and after the tribal. Tara could side with Luke though. She doesn't know what's best for her game.

It's not that hard to manage Michelle anyway. In your 6, clearly Tessa and Pete are on the bottom. Just discuss with her whether you're willing to get Tessa out now or not. Once you open that conversation, the discussion becomes whether to get her out now or in the future, and then it's Luke's job is to convince her it's now; either way, she's happy she wasn't left out. If Michelle wouldn't budge and you have to vote out Lockie, then the Tessa thing just remains a discussion. Luke was wary of Michelle being close to Tessa though.

Anyway, for next ep, all Jericho needs to do is ask Pete and Tara would they want to sit next to Ziggy and Lockie in the end. That's all he needs to do. Let them win the immunity. They both can't win. And somebody needs to go idol hunting.

Finally, I cheered when it was Luke.  He way overrated himself and his influence and game play imo.  But I do have to give him that he was gracious in the end.

Please not Jericho, he is just as full of himself and immature.  I would much prefer any of the others. 
 

I feel like the people against Luke are against him becoz of his brash personality. Or proclaiming himself as king. He's just having fun. But if you look past all that, he played a very good game. He was 'in' with the winning votes all the way until his last. He was lucky Michelle flipped on the first tribal post-merge. He knows when to follow the alliance(Henry) but he's not afraid to make moves. If you do make moves, 100% you would have influence on the game.

Look at everybody else how they have done so far. It's a mix between following the majority or part of the losing vote. Sometimes, you follow the majority even though you don't like it. You could be on the bottom following majority or on the bottom and part of the losing vote. Luke never was on the bottom, never part of the minority, always part of the winning voting bloc, and wasn't afraid to make moves. You can't say the same to about the rest(?). Let's break it down.

Lockie follows Henry and Tara used to follow Lockie. They don't run the votes. And after Henry was gone, they were on the bottom. Well, only just now Tara tried to run the votes on Lockie, and when Lockie won immunity, tried to run the votes on Luke.

Michelle makes moves, I give her that. Emotional moves though, which I don't like.

Jericho follows Luke. But now Luke is gone, you gotta give him a chance to see what he will do. So I won't say anything about his game right now. Just following someone is a legitimate strategy.

Pete is smart enough to get rid of Luke. Smart enough to get rid of Henry. I think there's more to Peter than the edit shows. I think he's smart enough to know what the right vote for him is. It's just that he doesn't run the vote. Maybe he didn't have the chance yet to take the steering wheel. He's not the one instigating the votes, that's probably the thing that'll hurt him the most if he makes it to the end. But damn if you do, damn if you don't. Luke's not afraid of instigating shit, and he got voted out.

Ziggy, she became a free agent. She flipped to Henry, Henry got voted out. She went back working with Tessa, Tessa got voted out. Before that, she lost her majority just after merge 1st tribal. I mean, put yourself on that island, who you think is the biggest threat? Do you think anybody can win against Luke in the finale at this juncture? No way, man.

Luke still could've survived if Tara didn't flip. She was on board with Luke, outted Lockie's to Luke, only to vote Luke in the end. I can only guess that Lockie and Ziggy convinced her that Luke is the biggest threat. But I don't wanna guess man. The next show edit better reveals why Tara does the things she does. Doesn't make sense. And if the show's edit doesn't explain, then the show doesn't make sense. But it must be that Tara got convinced otherwise. It's the only logical explanation. Would kinda cement Tara as the goat.

[Australian Survivor - General Discussion]

Voting Tessa out was Luke's undoing. He lost Sarah and Michelle becoz of that. Michelle still doesn't trust Luke. That just reinforces that she was irrationally blaming Sarah. Esile, when you see the latest ep, I told you Ziggy was a free agent. I don't get why Tara outted Lockie's plan to Luke but still voted for him. If Michelle's only reason to vote Luke is becoz she doesn't have the numbers for Ziggy, then she must have known Tara was voting Luke.

Tara wasn't talking smooth at all at tribal. She never was but she did horribly here, saying you have to come up with who to vote next after someone wins immunity. That was a shot at Lockie, and she immediately palms her face. Then in the preview, when Lockie confronts her, she says she's not a liar. She gets too easily defensive to the point where her arguments are irrational.

Pete is right to pick a strategic threat to go over brawns. Basing on the jury head nods from the previous tribal, they seem to favour social chess moves over winning immunity. But Tara, it has to be the biggest mystery why she voted Luke. Also, I wouldn't tell everybody to vote Lockie until after the immunity challenge.

Know idea about Lockie's pitch to Tara and Ziggy about his plan to vote out Luke or Jericho but it seems like a mess. Maybe that's why they edited it up. Lockie does seem a better candidate to win than Tara. This is the second time outted a plan. The first time she outted Luke's plan in old Asaga, but I don't remember if she flip flop her vote like this ep. Using Jericho's analogy, Tara just doesn't know how to take the steering wheel. So she's practically a goat, unless she gets Lockie out, that would better her chances. But still, her thought that Lockie is her threat when she doesn't see Luke as a threat to everybody, goat. If she gets Lockie out, then she becomes a number for Luke anyway. Goat.

For me, Michelle is now the most deserving winner. Next in line is Ziggy. Now Jericho doesn't have Luke, if he can just survive till the finale, I would give him a shot. Pete really hasn't shown favourably by the edit. So I don't really know what's going on with him. But Lockie has been in pretty much the same situation as Pete, except that he can win immunity.

Tessa really seems to harbour hard feelings for Lockie. Probably becoz he was so snidey with his comments in old Samatau. I still remember he said he doesn't have someone like Tarzan to give them idols to Tessa. I hated him ever since. What Tarzan did was something real, beyond the social gameplay of Survivor. That compassion, to be thrash by this prick. Fuck him.

edit: Actually, I've soured on Michelle. She played too emotional. She felt left out on Samatau during merge, she flipped. She felt betrayed by her core 4 Asaga alliance, she flipped. Too emotional. It seems it worked out when she flipped on Samatau, but she was on the bottom, then she found her way back to Luke and his alliance. It benefitted her but only becoz of how emotional she is. And now she broke it up. I like her better when she fighting for survival on old Samatau. Sarah and Luke did played better than her, with their heads. Now, all the strategists and drivers are gone. All the cats are gone, only mouses left. Pete seems to be the type that drives collectively with other people. That would explain his edit.

I don't see Michelle's move as being completely irrational. She is an emotive player, however the Luke/Jerry/Sarah alliance broke her trust in not involving her, but more than that they showed more trust in each other than in her, opening her eyes to the idea that she was on the bottom of that alliance. Where as by flipping to the others, her, Tara, Lockie, Petey and Ziggy can pick of the big threats in Luke and Sarah, and then Jerrry. When it gets down to five, Lockie and Tara are very tight, her, Petey and Ziggy could band together to get rid of them and Michele stands a much better chance with either Ziggy or Petey, either of which might be willing to take her to the end more so than Luke or Sarah would have, and against Ziggy I feel she would have a stronger case. Not saying the above is fool proof, just that there is a path there and some justification. Not to mention Sarah did actually throw her under the bus, and that is why she targeted her over the other two tonight. Sarah was the one her put her name out there and said let's get rid of Michelle. 

Just my two cents...

4

At tribal, she said Luke and Jericho explained things to her but Sarah didn't. So that's irrational. What I guess is that Michelle blamed Sarah more than the boys, and Sarah felt threatened which makes her suggest to vote Michelle out. But strategically, what you said make sense. I have soured a bit on her play since she last tribal where she doesn't vote with her head. Still, if it's her and Ziggy in the end, she would have a good chance I think. Pete is a goat. He hasn't done enough to win.

Now Michelle flipped right? Michelle can only survive if they don't see her as a threat, if they don't target her. Ziggy is pretty much a free agent if you haven't noticed. She's a flipper as well, but with connections to Lockie and Pete.

[Australian Survivor - General Discussion]

I've been thinking....Michelle was with Luke in old Asaga, switched to Samatau, then merge happened, Samatau lost her vote, eventually, in the course of 3-4 tribals post-merge, formed a tight 4 alliance not shown in the edit in the formerly 6 majority alliance that includes Tessa. If Luke had a top 4 in a 6 majority alliance, he could have played it safe, he didn't need to vote Tessa out and Lockie would have gone home. It's a safe route, possibly even the best route.

If he's worried about Tessa's connections with Pete and Ziggy, then you just need to get Ziggy out to weaken her instead of straight up eliminating her. He could have tried to rally his alliance to vote out Ziggy before Lockie and Tara. With Lockie and Tara there, you got two chances to blindside Ziggy.

Oh well, at least it's much exciting this way.

edit: oh nevermind. It's only becoz the alliance of 4 was more real to Michelle than Luke. That's why. Then again, maybe the alliance was more real to Michelle coz she was burnt by it.

[Australian Survivor - General Discussion]

Poor Sarah. Luke was the architect to vote out Tessa but Michelle only blamed Sarah. Really irrational on her part. Luke put himself at risk not going with the safe 6 and he still got by becoz Michelle put the blame on Sarah. How long can he go unnoticed?

I think that the game can be played smart without scheming in a way I dislike. No I wasn't a fan of Lee. I am enjoying the way the alliances are changing around out of practical necessity. I just feel like lockie is a good hearted doofus without being a twat like Luke. I also think ziggy is playing a smart and steady game. Jericho and his war analogies annoy me. Michelle just aggravates me, I think it is her voice as much as anything. 

Clearly, we're not like-minded people. I just don't get what you hate about Michelle and her voice. Sure Jericho is foolish with his war analogies, and his play is just following Luke's plan. And Luke is Luke. Personally, I just see them as who they are and let them be who they are. But one thing I hate most is smugness. I still remember the early days, when Locky was smug in his fake 8 alliance, clearly doesn't know how to play and strategize in Survivor. He wants things done his way and I'll believe Tessa when she says he has a bit of an ego. Now, Lockie is not leading any alliance, in a position of power or building camp, so we don't see the smugness anymore. It's true that certain environments can bring out certain qualities in you.

You don't like schemers on a show like Survivor? You like him just becoz of his looks and masculinity, right? I'm really happy with the season so far. A bunch of schemers, alliances keep falling apart, everyone is only looking out for their own game, right off the get-go at the start of the merge. That's what I want from Survivor. This season is night and day compared to last season. Can't stand Lee's holier than thou act. By any chance, were you a fan of Lee as well?

What do you like about Lockie? He's a goat. And Tessa thinks he's a threat. Again, Luke has proved to be much perceptive. Ziggy voted for Lockie; she's with Tessa. I see his points about Tessa. But he could play it safe and went with the 6 alliance. I'm not sure if it's the right move for Luke. I'm not sure if it's wrong though. Strategically, I feel it's a 50/50 choice. But for Luke, it's a 100% choice.

It was a random pick. I think Peter and Tessa wanted it. AK already decided he's not going for it. He doesn't want a bigger target on his back. When Lockie volunteered, they switched to Ziggy, saying she's good at challenges and puzzles. They need to justify picking someone "qualified" over Lockie. Like, they are so afraid to speak the truth, that is that they just don't want Lockie to have any power in the game. They need to get over it, like they're uncomfortable lying sometimes.
