Star has really upped her stock. I really like her now. It's the first time I've laughed at someone going to vote when she had to recover the pen. I was glad Sai made it through--she's more interesting tv than Charity. She is such an odd player. I was glad to have the whole group voting and no random groups of 6; I hope they drop that concept going forward. Like others, I hate all the mud

I so agree with this. I like it when they write strong friendships--I hate it when they try to make it romantic when it doesn't work. I'd like to like Jo and Linc but I don't at all so I find myself hoping they break up. Amelia was much better with Linc.

I liked it and found myself realizing somewhere along the way, Chicago Med got better. It's not the best show on but is not just terrible. I hate watched for a while. I don't normally get moved by this show, but when Dr. Charles said he needed to go to the scene so that Ripley saw a friendly face, that got to me. I just bought the bond and was touched.

I haven't really been a fan of Luke but I ended up liking this episode more than I expected. It just added some depth to Luke, and I liked seeing their attempt to get out.

that would have been much better dialogue than what they gave her. If my dad is dying on the side of the road and I happen to have 2 doctors show up, I'm not challenging them when they mention they need to do a suture. I felt like the writers could come up with better dialogue there. Just normal "oh, please, please let this work/please help him" dialogue would be better than what we got

Same--i thought they would show that the artwork was painted over --such as where they give her a full dress up to her neck--in teal of course.

the 2 most recent shows involving Faysal have him not being so annoying. What's going on?? I liked him and Amber getting closer and hope they work together on another show. What am I saying? it's like he's grown

that's what I was thinking. It would crack me up if they would band together. I was not a fan of Sai based on the previous episodes but the "we respect each other" approach vs it getting personal (like Sue of last season) made it fun. I respect both of them more now.

making big moves for resume reasons is dumb pre merge (and is often dumb post-merge). You should only make the moves you need to make to preserve your game. Most people on the jury will have no idea about any pre-merge move you made---and have no reason to believe you if part of your speech is the "big, impressive move I made at the 2nd tribal when we were split up into 3 tribes and y'all were on winning tribes."

I had completely forgotten storylines and was not motivated to rewatch the previous episode to figure it out. It definitely impacted my ability to understand what the issue was with Amelia and surgeon dude whose name Im forgetting. * editing to add Winston--that's his name

* bring back the hopper or at least some form of anonymous voting so there is some hope for less of a "the group is going this way so I will too" boring voting * the set up creates no incentive to try that hard in dailies unless you have a real shot at winning. It's all or nothing with no negative to finishing last. it would be better if there was some incentive to finish at least top 3 or to stay out of the bottom

I think they are coached not to bring this up, but it really doesn't matter if you vote out faithful or traitors, as long as you yourself remain in the game. The game doesn't end if you vote out all of them at the beginning. No matter what the pool of players has to be reduced, so I don't get being upset when they "mess up." They would have never felt solid closing the game with Ciara in the mix, so might as well get rid of her now-it's not like she was super helpful. Either way, they are one step closer to the final and have narrowed down the pool.

can someone summarize briefly what happened before and after this? I don't watch other shows so I was a bit lost

these shows always sounds more interesting in theory than they are to actually watch

I didn't get Danielle being concerned about getting Rob out. You don't have to plan anything--the odds are strong that the group takes him out--you don't have to lead the effort; you just have to encourage the flames subtly and that issue will take care of itself I also was surprised she decided to go for Carolyn that strong. No need to rush. You could still accomplish that with a more innocent sounding question--what about Carolyn? are we overlooking her?
