So isn’t that just “steal a vote”?

I guess they wanted it to seem fresh and new so they changed it up a little.  

So wait, if she targets Lauren, does she get to control both of Lauren's votes?  Because Yam Yam or Matt could still go if Lauren used both votes.

[Lady Calypso]

I should have figured an early immunity wouldn't mean more strategic gameplay. I should have realized most of it would be about an advantage.

[Lantern7]

Cue the sad Matt/Frannie music . . . 🙄🙄🙄

For fuck's sake.

I'm sure Matt's a nice guy but man, do I loathe his edit so much. ALL he talks about is some girl he met two weeks ago after being dumped by an ex. 

He doesn't talk about ANYTHING else. I blame the producers for editing him as solely a lovestruck puppy.

[LadyChatts]

I am just not getting into this showmance.  It seems too forced.  

This advantage is going to save Matt.  I don't know why Yam Yam and Matt think those 3 would split their votes.  What sense would that make?

[Lady Calypso]

Jaime, I thought you were all knowing, or whatever the hell you've said the last few episodes about being in on everything.

[truthaboutluv]

Ah, THAT'S how Heidi's advantage may work, if Yam Yam and Matt throw a wrench in the plan by voting together.

Matt why would you ever leave camp without your bag? Have you not seen the show? Sometimes they don't let you go back to camp.

[iMonrey]

This is the type of episode you really want to record so you can just skip to the end.

[Lamb18]

Matt, neither of you are dying. If you are voted out, you'll be first on the juryand see her every couple of days.

[LadyChatts]

Oh wait, now they are talking about splitting the vote.  And this advantage might actually ruin something good.

. . . and if she gets voted off? Two words: Ponderosa nookie.

[truthaboutluv]

Oh right, these are three original members of Soka - the tribe that was using shot in the darks for the first tribal council. Of course they're going to complicate this. 

[Lamb18]

Lauren sounds too confident--hubris ahead?

[Lantern7]

Frannie with the Carolyn eyes . . .

[LadyChatts]

Heidi is having second thoughts about trying to save Matt.

[Lady Calypso]

At least Heidi's getting some good confessionals, even if they're being wasted on a dumb ass advantage.

[truthaboutluv]

Frannie's desperation over Matt will get Heidi to want him gone. And like I said, a whole lot of crazy scrambling. 

[iMonrey]

I wish Heidi would just refuse to use the advantage. Screw Jeff, screw the show.

As if.

She actually seems pretty smart from a game perspective.  I wish no one knew she had the control advantage.  She might want to stop and think why Frannie is so desperate for her to save Matt.  I think it's not looking good for Lauren, though.  But this could still be a 3/3 split if Lauren used her extra vote, right?  Let's say Heidi told Jamie to use her vote for Lauren, and Matt and Yam Yam vote for Lauren.  That's 3 votes.  But if Lauren used her two votes, plus Brandon's, for Matt, they could force a tie.  

Of course, that was old era Survivor when people got strategic.  Now production tells them what to do by way of twists and advantages.  I don't think it's fair that they are finding out when they go to cast their votes about Heidi's advantage, as it might not give them time to think (which is probably the point).

[Maggie Mae]

Can Heidi control both of Lauren's votes if she uses both??

[iMonrey]

Bottom line, this just isn't about strategy anymore. The people who are voting don't know about this advantage Heidi has so whatever they try to plan, the show has to screw them over.

[Lady Calypso]

Jeff is salivating over this dumb twist. Of course he is.

[LadyChatts]

Well, let's get this s***show, I mean TC, started.  

[Maggie Mae]

Tribal is gonna be crazy!!!

Or use it on Brandon & see what happens

He’s sleeping on his back tonight.

”Bag of tricks.” Oh, Matt. You total dumbass.

[LadyChatts]

Poor Matt.  He's so adorable.  I hate the showmance, but he's fun to watch.  

I guess Frannie is confident in him staying that she didn't bother to bring his bag.  Good thing that idol wasn't real.  And that production is going to save him.

[Lantern7]

Matt with the title quote.

[truthaboutluv]

Matt is such a doofus. Seems sweet but yeah...

[LadyChatts]

Heidi has no choice but to save Matt.  They will be out for her if she doesn't.

[iMonrey]

Why does Lauren look so pissed off?

[LadyChatts]

Matt and Frannie are worse than some of the people who played against their loved ones in B vs W together.  Someone from Ratu or Yam Yam should bring up the danger of keeping Matt because of Frannie.

If she does, I'm okay with it as much as it's not cool.  What if Matt brought his bag

Probably because she's probably done

[Lantern7]

Matt is a sad, sad man.

[EllenB]

Survivor: The Junior High Edition. 

Ugh, they're all such damn babies.

Can't believe she didn't even bring his bag. 

[Lady Calypso]

Oh look, we're getting REAL LIFE SOB STORIES! Only at Tribal!

 

[LadyChatts]

They are making this seem like Yam Yam or Matt is leaving.  Odds are they aren't.

[KaveDweller]

OMG, battle of the tears for sympathy?

Yup, almost too obvious.

[mojoween]

“Expect the unexpected”?  Peachy, what show do you think you are running?

[Lady Calypso]

Oh damn, Heidi had to announce who Lauren had to vote for.

[Lantern7]

Waiting for someone to shout “BULLSHIT!” at the twist.

[LadyChatts]

So Heidi's taking Lauren's vote and having her vote for Yam Yam.  Wow...didn't expect that.  

And Heidi only controls one vote, not both of Lauren's.

[Pepper the Cat]

It would be edited out.

[Lantern7]

Just now, Pepper the Cat said:

I know. I still want to see it happen, though.

[truthaboutluv]

So Lauren probably just gave a vote to both Yam Yam and Matt. 

[MerBearHou]

I’m glad I don’t have to listen to Lauren’s voice on a daily basis.
