Castaways must roll their way through the reward challenge to win a picnic in the middle of the ocean. Then, castaways either stay balanced or drop the ball in the immunity challenge, trying to earn their spot in the final five.

I'm still disappointed Austin had to go and ruin a blindside last week.

I also hope Julie stops with the tears and "this is so hard" at TC this week.  That's getting old.

[Lady Calypso]

I did forget that Dee created the whole plan to also vote Julie FOR the aftermath.

[Straycat80]

Evening! Let’s see what Julie does now.

[vb68]

I'm already missing Emily.

[Lady Calypso]

Julie: We're keeping it secret that Dee and I are working together!

I feel like these people SHOULD read into it, but they probably won't.

[LadyChatts]

Austin didn't want this to happen, but what did he expect to happen when he told Dee?

I really wish Julie went and voted for Austin since he was so confident he was staying.

[truthaboutluv]

Oh please Julie. Girl, do you really think these people don't ALL know Dee told you the plan? And they also all know that Austin's dumb ass was the one who told Dee the plan. Like come on!!!

[Lady Calypso]

Dee's plan should be very obvious but the players left are Jake (who has had bad reads), Katurah (who was Bruce blinded for weeks), and Austin (who is Dee blinded). Drew's the only one who could catch on to Dee lying.

I mean is Austin truly not buying into it?  I can't believe he doesn't think she told her.  How stupid is this guy?  I thought he was just letting his pent-up sexual energy get in the way.

You'll be able to see her at the end of the show.  Though it might be interesting to see her reaction at the end of the show

[Straycat80]

I’m surprised they are not talking about going after Jake and Katurah. 

[vb68]

I can't believe Austin believes Dee. He's that smitten? 

[LadyChatts]

So the Reba 4 doesn't want to let on they are a thing...but they are all sitting together on the beach and Julie goes and throws herself happily into the mix.

I'm not.  I probably should be, but some of the moves since Day One were "off-script" to where nothing is surprising

[Lady Calypso]

Julie, there's four days left in the game. Also, of course you can't trust them! They voted you out! Why are you wondering if you can trust them? They're gonna try again!

[truthaboutluv]

My mistake - apparently Austin and Drew are dumber than I thought. Please dear god tell me Katurah and Jake at least don't buy Dee's bullshit.

Like how can anyone genuinely think that Julie just miraculosly knew she was in trouble to play that idol with NO ONE telling her. 

[Lamb18]

Now I want Julie to win. If not her, then Dee.

I feel like this acting is for absolutely nothing. They're at F6, they have the numbers. There is literally no reason to lie anymore.

100%.  FWIW, people in the past get livid after receiving just ONE vote.  Julie is lucky to still be there!

[LadyChatts]

So Katurah gets up for some early morning idol hunting.  I hope her or Jake finds it, Reba doesn't need anymore advantages.

[Straycat80]

I wish there were no more chances of idols this late in the game. 

[dizzyd]

That was a good move by Julie and Dee and they should have figured out that Drew and Austin weren’t loyal to Reba 4 anymore so it’s time to take them down.

[LadyChatts]

This is what I don't get.  Who cares if everyone knows they are together?  What are Jake and Katurah going to do?  Unless one of them finds the idol, but then what?  Reba 4 can easily split the votes 2/2.

[truthaboutluv]

I'm sorry but at this point in the game, who gives a shit if someone is looking for an idol. Good for Katurah just owning it. 

[vb68]

I don't enjoy extra cocky Dee.

[Lantern7]

I’m starting late after dinner. I liked the editing for the “previously.”

I can’t blame Julie for celebrating.

[LadyChatts]

Julie knows her Reba alliance members were plotting against her, but still wants to know if they are Reba 4 strong.

[Straycat80]

There is no Reba 4 anymore Julie. And I don’t know if I’d trust Dee. 

[Lady Calypso]

Is Reba 4 somehow the new Tika 3, where nobody realizes how close people are with each other? Really?

I think the acting is more that Drew and Austin do not want to let on that they've solidly decided to boot Julie. So the acting is more for her benefit than to try and fool Katurah and Jake. 

[Lantern7]

I forgot about what passes for a showmance between Austin and Dee. 🙄

[willco]

Drew is such an ass ! I'm not sure I like anyone that's left all that much. Maybe Jake, who has little to  no chance in the game.

[Straycat80]

Good, put the target on Drew. 

[LadyChatts]

Okay, so if I'm understanding this right-Austin and Drew believe Dee was with them on the Julie blindside, and did not tell Julie.  Austin I can understand being this dumb, but Drew? 

And Dee/Julie don't believe anyone knows how close they are, which is probably accurate.  I wonder if it came down to choosing between Austin and Julie who Dee would pick.

[Lantern7]

Drew with the title quote early. Actually pretty funny.

Edited December 14, 2023 by Lantern7

[truthaboutluv]

And what did I say last week - Dee will have NO problem going with a plan that Austin is left out of and not telling his dumb ass. Oh but he just had be SO honest to her last week. What an idiot.

For the first time all season I’m Team Dee/Julie. You ladies lie your way to the end!

[Carey]

Man, those title quotes have me missing those prediction games I used to run back in the day.

Yep, that was a hilarious quote

[Lady Calypso]

I've said it before and each episode keeps proving my point: the women have been RUNNING this season. Except for Kaleb, the women have been on point and been way smarter and more strategic than the men. So of course Dee/Julie have a one-up on Drew/Austin. They're simply better at the game than they are.

[LadyChatts]

I just realized we haven't heard a peep out of Jake yet, have we?  Guess it's different when he's not the pawn vote.

Yeah.  For me, I might not be too concerned unless the show was still 60 minutes

[Lady Calypso]

Oops, I tuned out what the reward was. Oh well.

Which is funny because Drew fancied himself and Austin as another J.T./Fishbach.  They got the J.T. part down pretty well.  Julie/Dee are kind of like Amanda/Parvati during S16, when no one knew how close they really were, either.  

[Lamb18]

Jeff is so poetic about a picnic.

Helicopter ride to a sand spit in the ocean, where they get to eat.  I kind of hope Katurah and Jake don't get it so they can idol hunt in peace back at camp.

[mojoween]

Fuck was the purpose of starting in the ocean?

[Lantern7]

Damn, why can’t I bring myself to fast forward to the present?

Dee doesn’t care about swearing on family members. Good for her.

To have slippery feet

[Carey]

Yes.  The women have definitely been running this season.  Though to an extent since several dudes are still around.  Nonetheless, the moves to alter the season were there, but people on the outs didn't make them.

Really, for me, nothing really can beat Season 16.  The women ran that season.  In my defense, when someone with immunity doesn't stop someone else from targeting that "safe" person, that's just brilliant
