Few thoughts, which I know have been touched on in the thread, but still.
1) The producers really seem to think we care very heavily about Ciree and Jared. It is a part of every exit interview. Also with Jared evicted and not a part of jury, it really doesn't matter at all at this point.
2) How long is this season going to go on for? We're in for finale in like mid November right? I just watched S10 off Netflix (what a refreshing wonderful season) and they were done in like 65 days I think.
3) I don't even understand the "theme" with the various -verses. Its a comic book thing I suppose, but I really don't quite get it. Also remember when people go banished to some underworld for some meaningless amount of time and nothing happened.
