Wait, what’s the logic of them starting in the water if they’re going to stack stuff?

Now Sam is mad, I’ll bet  he’s going to narc on Gen’s fake idol.

I think this might be a mistake Rachel and Genevieve made, if they were acting like no one else had a chance at winning but them and being open about it.  In a way, Rachel and Genevieve almost need each other as shields.  I really don't think Genevieve is that much of a threat so I'll be curious to read exit interviews and find out what everyone has to say.  Rachel and Sam seem like the two left who have the best chance of winning, with Genevieve being 3rd.  At least how I'd rank them.

I know, it’s dumb, just let them start stacking. 

[Lamb18]

The balls look like mozzarella balls, which are in the salad I'm eating right now.

[dizzyd]

The new challenge looked like a stack of s’mores.

But isn't that already the plan? Why doesn't Sam sit at final three with Rachel and Genevieve and see how he does.

I think the plan is to get one of them out.  He said this was the last vote so I'm guessing whoever doesn't win immunity between Rachel and Genevieve will be the target (if both lose then Rachel I guess?)

[Lantern7]

We’re going to need a commercial break for this challenge.

[Lamb18]

Genevieve's stack looked like a wiggly caterpillar.

[PaperTree]

This looks hard!

[Lantern7]

Waiting for someone to snap and use the holder as a skewer on Probst.

[gorgy]

I'd love to do this task because it's so stupid and difficult

[LadyChatts]

Total sidenote but I don't even recognize Genevieve without her glasses.

 

[dizzyd]

Yay Rachel! That challenge took a lot of popcorn.

[Straycat80]

Rachel wins!

I thought the same thing

[Brown44]

I don't know about these task that a strong gust of wind can screw you.

[LadyChatts]

Wow, that was unlucky for Genevieve.

Also, good-bye to her?  It'd be something if Sue thought the votes were going on Genevieve for sure and she played a big move by playing her idol for her.  I don't think she will (or have any reason to), but that'd be something.

[DEL901]

If Rachel wins it all, she owes Sol big time.  

[Pepper the Cat]

That was very nerve wracking.

so glad Rachel won!

[gorgy]

bye Gen

[PaperTree]

Damn, Rachel is good.

So do they get Gen? or go for Sam?

[Lantern7]

How come? Once again, I haven’t been paying attention.

[gorgy]

spoiler alert: it's over

[Straycat80]

Yep, bye Gen. And no way is Sue parting with her idol, she has to play it tonight right? 

[Rodney]

Just glad that Sam remains frustrated and is still flopping at challenges.  His type is usually a fave to win challenges, but other than one Reward Challenge, he's failed at every one of them.

[Lamb18]

Sue has to play her idol at the next tribal, doesn't she? Or it's her last opportunity to use it?

[DEL901]

As much as they hate hearing it, R&G are the top dogs.  Since Rachel is safe, I think Sam will rat out the fake idol and buh bye G.

She was the target and Sol won an advantage he had to give to someone else and that saved her.

I was thinking the same thing.   At the very least, she'll owe the man a dinner at Applebee's 

[KaveDweller]

That fake idol may help Gen coast into final 4. They may not have thought of that.

[Grizzly]

They run through water and then push through sand to get the heart rate going. Makes doing the balancing thing even more difficult.  Plus nerves.

Thanks!

Sam rats out Genevieve to Teeny.

Rachel yes but I still don't see how Genevieve is such a threat.  I feel like there must be a lot being left out of the edit.  That's why I'll be curious to hear about it in the exit interviews.  

I forgot about Sol giving her that advantage, too, so thanks for reminding me!

And yep, Sam is taking his last stand and spilling about Genevieve's idol.

[Straycat80]

I knew it! Sam narced on Gen’s fake idol. 

[Brown44]

Quick AF with the snitching.

[Grizzly]

I think Sue is keeping her idol a total secret to pull it out at final tribal like Mariann. That's going to be her big move for the jury.

[Brown44]

You always make your own fake idol.

[gorgy]

here comes Teeny to play the victim like you're not playing Survivor 

[Lantern7]

Meh all around. Just make them pick rocks and end the episode.

[mojoween]

I barely remember that Kishan exists, yet his ouster keeps coming up and seems to be a very important moment in the game.

[DEL901]

Teeny is also an idiot.  “Let me ask G about the idol”

 

[truthaboutluv]

Sam waited too long to drop that bomb and and doesn't look like it will save him. He should have shared that BEFORE the immunity challenge. 

[LadyChatts]

Teeny is one of those people I'd like to see play again, just to see if they'd do better a second time.  I have a feeling they might greatly improve knowing the semantics of the game better.

And what does Rachel have to worry about?  Actually, Teeny is the one who would be most vulnerable in this situation if Genevieve's idol was real.  Sue has her idol and Rachel has immunity.

Now Teeny is going to Genevieve and telling her what Sam said.

[Straycat80]

Oh no they are not believing Teeny. So bye Sam I think. 
Wait, she is admitting  it to Teeny. Interesting. 

[LadyChatts]

And Genevieve doesn't even try to deny it?!   

Also, why wouldn't she think Sam would rat her out?  He's playing for his Survivor life, too.  

[Brown44]

Why would you admit that your idol is fake? You say it's real till you get voted out.

[truthaboutluv]

Just now, DEL901 said:

Seriously, like is that really going to achieve anything? Interesting that Genevieve confirmed the idol is fake.

I wonder if she did that as a mind-fuck, knowing Rachel and Sue won't buy the story. 

[LadyChatts]

I'd actually think it'd be funny if, once again, they don't believe Teeny and vote Sam, only to find out Genevieve's idol wasn't real after all.  

[gorgy]

phrasing

[jsm1125]

It’s interesting: I remember a pre-season interview with Teeny where they indicated that their strength is more in the social game than in the strategy/number crunching side of the game. 

And that’s certainly borne fruit this whole season. Teeny seems to be nearly universally well-liked by their cast, but has been out of the loop a lot.
