There was an absolutely fascinating extended conversation between Cirie & Cory this afternoon about events of last few weeks. These two are best thinkers in game. He gave her the info on how Jared & Izzy fucked up, that neither shared with her as they were small children lying to mom hiding mistakes. She was confirming things he knew to be true. Yoda=Cirie; Luke=Cory. If she must die in game, as she must (can’t win comps), I want to root for her Luke. I don’t want Luke to be Cam. It was never Jared or Izzy, way too messy, messy. It could still be Matt. If Cory for real, I’d love that!! . Forgive me, I’ve stretched analogy beyond my knowledge of Star Wars. Jared must go for this game to be fun! PS: Loved that she called out Cory for his nonsense when he was complaining no one trusted America! He was large part of that a few weeks ago, with his ‘brilliant’ plan to lightly throw her under bus to disguise showmance.

We had precisely the correct result in the DE to break the game wide open and CBS decided it would be more fun to basically shut down the game for a week. I don’t understand.

I still want my Matt/Cirie alliance. Damn job I’m out of loop on what happened all week, know it won’t happen if Jared comes back. Otherwise, did something happen that this is impossible?

Matt/Cirie/Jag. Other side, They duke it out. With mess and uncertainty. We need just two simple steps to get there. it becomes a Broadway farce like Upstairs Downstairs then.

First, I apologize. I tried to delete my ETA before it could be seen. It was unnecessary & I hope you know my intent was not to call you out, but that was effect. It was flip and my bad. No excuses. I fell for Cirie in her first episode of Survivor, when she said something to the effect of I can sit here and talk about everything everyone does wrong on these shows, or “I can get up off my couch”. She is an unlikely survivor legend, came so close to being first voted out in first season and then ran deep into game. Then, we all thought it impossible for her to go deep on returning season because of her strategic prowess. She made it to final 3 & would have been sitting in front of jury for final vote, but for medical evac earlier in season & they changed it to final 2. For me, to watch someone like me who could never win a competition to save my life, like her, it’s just so amazing how she can use social skills & strategy over and over to advance so far in games.

I think there are 750,000 reasons why neither cares about a tainted win.

I think Cirie was being genuine about asking to be put up if Cam won veto. I also think she doesn’t want to sit in jury. I suspect her plan has changed and she has resigned to staying now. What will be interesting. Double eviction; lots want her/Jared on block. On one hand, she wants to help her son, her getting voted out there is more helpful to him than her falling on sword this week. I do think folks maybe still take out her v Jared? ultimately, I hope step 1, , Cam goes. Step 2,, Jared goes. I want to see all the remaining play in that scenario for rest of game. Should be fun!!!! ETA: To be clear, nothing saves Jared’s game. I want to see what would happen if Jared out & Cirie gets to play with Matt.

I am not fatigued by Cirie. I have no use for her son. My understanding from RHAP is she was a last minute add to cast, so she did not take anyone else’s spot. I personally never thought she was going to win, but I find her fascinating to watch maneuvering in these games. I don’t think she’s having fun here & hasn’t for awhile.

Cirie definitely wants out pre-jury.

We do need Cam/Jared out for a wide open game with players that are fun to watch!! I really like a Matt/Cirie combo, that’s a good pairing for each of them. There were a couple of times last night where they had to hide in HOH bathroom & I was rolling😀. Cirie: I’m not gonna hide in a god damn bathroom anymore. (2 seconds later, someone’s coming up & they head back to bathroom) Matt: if we get caught we’re gonna have to tell them we were making out!😀 I am surprised I’m saying this, but if only one of Cam/Jared can go next week, my vote is Jared…that’s the key to wide open game.

Good lord, get swamped at work for a week and come back and the house has blown up! I want Cam/Jared out in double eviction and then game on!!!

I am a Cirie fan. This show hasn’t changed that. I am not a fan of her son. I want him to go because he is an ass and is fucking up her game. I say this to expose my bias. I’ve want to be an America fan as well. She makes it hard! She knows the game. She thinks that makes her good at the game. It does not. she keeps shooting herself in the foot! Her showmance shoots her other foot. She needs to get her shit together!!! So frustrating. ETA: FFS. I’m now listening to Cory burn her to Cameron. She needs to start playing her own game! Jeebus. These people!!!

I see this being said a lot, but I truly don’t believe that to be the case. As soon as Cirie goes, and I do see that sooner than later, although unlikely now this week, unless dumbass Jared dumbasses more, I think his game crumbles.

He definitely wants to BD Cirie & I’m pretty sure she goes home v Izzie. I think she could stay v Felicia but not a slam dunk. Todays veto is key. I would fall off my chair if Cirie actually won a comp!😀

America is happy with what Cam has done. I think their convo will be fine.

Felicia needs to tell all to Cam. She's not. I'm telling you, if Felicia can come down/get Cirie up, it's close. Izzie would have: America, Cory, possibly Jag if his memory doesn't get wiped again, Felicia. Only would need one more to stay. Bowie? If that's what Cam wants.

He seems to want Izzie gone.

Feeds back!!! Izzie Felicia?? Yep. Pretty sure that’s it.

Fortunately I have remained calm & skeptical and not done some wild noodling on if Cirie could actually go if up against Izzie😀

I think the the best shot to get Cirie out now if that’s what Cam wants is if it’s Cirie/Izzie on block. it could be close, but I could see her going in that scenario.

Perhaps I have my hopes too high, but it really feels as though Cam is going to do noms that shake things up & not just nom Blue/Jag. Bracing myself for disappointment to come….

loathe Cam, but this could make for interesting week.

I think it’s a bit of replay of Kyle & Alyssa last year before he got his 10 seconds and wanted her to stay after deflecting on her prior to that.

I’m watching tonight’s episode now and want to expand on this. First, to be clear Jared is an asshole who has got to go. But I share this frustration with Cory. He was playing too cute trying to separate from America by lightly trashing her game to everyone. Then he acts surprised when other don’t trust her intentions! And gets pissed that the damage he did is reflected in, in this case, Jared’s concerns about America’s reliability. she’s got stuff to work on, but damn, even her closest ally is just basically screwing her even when I think he was trying to help her. Lordy.

The “Apprentice” is gonna open a whole big different can of worms in reality tv & other history books going forward, but I digress….
