Rachel is a very deserving winner. I thought Sam would have gotten more than just one vote, but Rachel took 7 out of 8 votes. Count me in of those that were against the whole Gata tribe after episode one to me really rooting for Rachel for weeks to win the whole thing. Proud of her win. The aftershow was only about 25 minutes. I wish the pre jury could attend, but with that length of it, they would have most likely been ignored or just there.

I can't see a way that Rachel loses this game this season with who is left. With Andy and especially Genevieve gone, Rachel has a great chance of winning. If she loses the Final 4 immunity challenge, she will go to fire, so not a guarantee that she will win. The jury loved Rachel's idol play. I've been rooting for Rachel for weeks now, and I am still rooting for her to win.

So, do we start Part 2 of the finale with the Final 4 and the aftershow?

I keep hearing about Teeny going out in the fire making challenge. Don't know how accurate that rumor is, but I think it will actually go Andy, Genevieve, and then Teeny goes out in fire making. I could be wrong.

Sad to see Caroline go, but hearing her talking in confessionals about winning the game, and all, that she was in trouble. Still can't stand Sam, Andy, or Genevieve, but I have to give them props for making the larger alliance split the vote. I'm just happy that Rachel won immunity and was safe tonight. She is the only one I'm rooting for.

It was apparent that Kyle was going once he lost the immunity challenge. I'm sure it probably would have been Geneieve otherwise. I think voting off Kyle was the smart move this week since he didn't have immunity. A big congratulations to Rachel for winning the "block a vote" advantage and winning the immunity challenge. She beat out Kyle by a few steps. She clearly has game and I'm rooting for her to win.

I'm surprised Jeff was okay with the deal for rice was everyone's shot in the dark. A player only has a 1 in 6 chance of staying safe from the vote. That is not good odds anyway. Sacrificing that for a full bag of rice for the remaining players seems like a smart trade. The old era never had it, and I sometimes forget it's a part of the game still. A Tuku had to go, even though Genevieve probably was the better option to get out.

If true, I can easily see why Rachel could win. I don't know why they would let Sam into the final 3 unless everyone knows he doesn't stand a chance of winning.

Sol was the one of the only few people that I found tolerable. They should have went for Kyle as he has good chances of going on an immunity run. The Gata members didn't get on my nerves tonight. Surprised that Rachel didn't want to alert Sol that his name was being brought up for elimination (though she let Sam know) seeing as how he literally saved her before. I liked it when Jeff brought in Sierra from the jury instead of the person just sitting there already at tribal. I hope he continues to "bring in the members of the jury" every tribal council like in past seasons. Sierra looked pissed off. I wonder if she will be bitter. Why is the show obsessed with the players losing their vote? It's not entertaining, it's stupid and unnecessary.

Glad that Sierra went out, although I was hoping Sam would. Still can't stand him. I loved seeing Sam and Sierra's faces when their names kept being read during the vote. Even though I don't like Andy much, good on him for not becoming "just a number" for Sam, Sierra, and Rachel. I hope to see the rest of Gata being picked off.

I felt bad for Tiyana, but that's the game. It seemed to me that her name wasn't being brought up for consideration until Rachel left tribal and when the whispering started. If it wasn't for that advantage, Rachel definitely would have gone out. I want to see more people being at risk of getting to be voted out than just five or six people. So boring and annoying. It's not a merge if you're doing it in groups. Groups are for reward challenges and the "Tribal Phase" of the game. Oh, yeah, Andy and Sam still suck.

Add me to the list of people that loved that only one person had immunity and everyone else was vunerable. It's better that way. This episode clearly was letting the audience know that Rome was going tonight. Good riddance to him, never liked the guy one bit. Can Sam please go next? His whole "I love pineapple" was not funny or necessary. That little worm works my last nerve.

I think "the person voted out must leave the tribal council area immediately" wasn't said since "David VS. Goilath". It's when "Edge of Exinction" was when he stopped saying all of that. I miss hearing that and him naming the jurors as they walked in to tribal.

Losing Anika wasn't a shock to me. What I was most shocked about was her reaction to her ouster. She was livid and upset, which is what she should be instead of saying "oh, hey, good game you guys, you got me". Can't stand Sam at all. His and Andy's vote out will be great to witness.

I read on Reddit that there was speculation that either Sierra or Caroline could win. Don't know how accurate this is, though.
