[Grizzly]

He's thinking about jury management.

What is it with these people trying to play nice?  I'm so disappointed in Kyle right now.  He was one of my last hopes in this game to make something happen.  

Let's just right Joe or Eva the check and call it a season.  

At this point, they might as well chop the final prize.  No need for a final vote.

Sometimes I don't think the folks here deserve to vote at the end.  Mainly because it would be a coin flip between Joe and Eva, and they'd find a way to mess that up

Granted, that is important.  But you shouldn't think about it so much that it scares you out of making the moves that'll put you in the best position to make it to the end.

[truthaboutluv]

I think Kyle was also thinking about jury management at that point. That if he kept betraying people who thought he was so loyal to them back, to back, it'd come back and bite him, even if he made it to the end. I don't necessarily agree but I think it was more than just, "I want to be loyal and can't betray a friend."

Oh, right, the rice negotiations. I love this. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Oh, that’s later. Never mind.

Reward Challenge!

[MerBearHou]

22 minutes in — first challenge! Much better than last week’s timing.

I think that's for the Immunity Challenge.

[Straycat80]

What sadist thought up this challenge? 

[Lantern7]

I like fried chicken. I like waffles. I have them together, it’s not as awesome as I would think. Not worth singing about, anyway.

[dizzyd]

Another challenge singalong. This cast is bringing entertainment.

[iMonrey]

Oh for Pete's sake. Enough oohing and aahing over the daily feast. These people eat better than half the globe.

Of all New Era seasons of Survivor where the castaways could play the nice, honest game with integrity, this is not the cast I expected it from.  I mean, what are they doing out there?  I wish somehow it could be a tie vote between Joe and Kamilla so Kyle would have to pick who to save.

And I don't care how hungry I was, there is no way I would chant this.  This season all around has been a snooze and a suck-fest.

A sadist better than the ones that are always in the news? 🤷‍♂️

[Brown44]

A task where it's great if you know how to do the worm.

We had it last season, too.

[truthaboutluv]

Kamilla say, "how..." while still stuck in nowhere land. 

[Lantern7]

On to the carny game! 🙄🙄🙄

[Straycat80]

Just now, Rodney said:

I forgot. Not a fan. 

[LadyChatts]

Well, if Cedrek was still in the game Kamilla would only be the second-worst at this challenge.

[Rodney]

Nice bounce catch by Kyle!

[Lantern7]

Wouldn’t it be more challenging if players had to get a ring on each peg?

[Rodney]

KYLE WINS REWARD!

[iMonrey]

You should have to cover all three pegs, not just get three rings on any peg.

[Lantern7]

“CEDREK, AIMING AT THE WRONG TARGET! I didn’t think I’d get this around my neck.”

[truthaboutluv]

Now here is where it gets tricky because you know Jeff will ask Kyle to bring someone. He's number one is Kamilla but they're keeping that on the downlow. 

[iMonrey]

Just now, Rodney said:

KYLE WINS REWARD!

How are you like 15 seconds ahead of me? I'm watching this live.

[Rodney]

I hope that he didn't give their pairing away.

[Lantern7]

“Okay, everybody make up a song about this sweet-ass boat!”

[Rodney]

So Kyle, Eva, Kamilla, and Shauhin are going to enjoy the reward.

Joe, Star, Mary, and Mitch all get nothing.

[Pepper the Cat]

That’s a great boat!

 

[LadyChatts]

If Jeff asked me the reasons, I'd say "because you told me too".  

I wish this would enlighten Mitch right now, but it won't.  They aren't even really hiding their alliance.  

[Straycat80]

Didn’t Mitch go on the last food challenge? Joe took him.  Why is he hurt? 

[DEL901]

Kyle was smart to leave one of his alliance with Mitch, Star and Mary to keep an ear open for any plotting.  But will choosing Kamilla come back and haunt him?

 

 

[Brown44]

Did they even go to Star in that task?

[Dewey Decimate]

Yeah, I like Mitch but he doesn't really seem to pick up on much. Why would he think Kyle has a special bond with him? Isn't the physical-beast alliance pretty clear to all?

[LadyChatts]

And Mitch is mad that Kyle didn't pick him and is questioning if he's tight with him (no Mitch, you really aren't).

[jsm1125]

I hope that is not seeing any rice “negotiations” up through final 8 means that the show has done away with that segment for good. 

[Lantern7]

Maybe they sang this on the ride over to the reward.

“Yeah, I’m taking Eva, Kamilla . . . and T-Pain.”

[iMonrey]

Time to watch people shoveling food into their gaping maws.

[Lantern7]

Chicken after a shot of whipped cream? That’s . . . something.

[Rodney]

Eva . . . are those more famous last words?

[MerBearHou]

Shauhin is entertaining, that’s for sure.  

[Straycat80]

Ok now Kyle is thinking Joe. 

[Rodney]

So Kyle's trying to get rid of Joe without actually making the move himself?  Clever!

[LadyChatts]

Eva is so overconfident.  I really can't stand her and am annoyed she's got two advantages in this game and is in a solid alliance.

Just now, Rodney said:

This is the Kyle I was hoping for.  Maybe he hasn't gotten soft after all (because if he intends on keeping his alliance with Kamilla, he's going to need the underdogs at some point).

[Rodney]

Is Mary buying this or humoring Joe?  I can't tell.

[Quilt Fairy]

Wouldn't you want to wash that sand off your face?

[Grizzly]

Would they wash off the sand!!

[LadyChatts]

Not sure of Joe's strategy here, even if he's sort of right.  But is Mary really that unaware?  David himself was throwing her name out as "Mary said..." when it came to possible votes.
