In her exit interview, Steph lets you know that Joe is a little b*tch.

Speaking of being loyal and true, Jonathan and Joe voted you out. Were you surprised by that when you saw the vote?

Joe, when I told him about the Steal-a-Vote, he couldn't even look at me. It went right over his head. He was like a child that was so mad that I didn't tell him sooner.

Wow.

Like, he could not deal with that. So Joe was out. To Jonathan, I'm like, "Listen, I have a Steal-a-Vote. I wanted to tell you sooner. Cirie called me out on it. She's known for a while. She told me not to tell any of you because everybody knows about every idol. So I kept it a secret." And he goes, "Okay." Like Jonathan wasn't even phased. He's like, "All right, let's use it."

So no, it didn't surprise me about Joe. In fact, Joe, after Jeff brings the urn over, and Joe who's telling me, "You're good, you're good the whole time" before he reads the votes, he goes, "It's you." I go, "What?" He goes, "It's you. " I go, "Oh, thanks a lot." He's like, "I love you." I'm like, "Yeah, go F…" I said some profanity to him. I was like, "Whatever."

Evidently Stephanie and Eliza aren't on each other's Christmas card list. For context, these two seem to have a running beef with each other, and are on complete opposite ends of the political spectrum. Stephanie called Eliza a "****ing Jew" and went off. She later apologized, but damn girl, don't ever go antisemitic on someone.

Well I wouldn't think they send each other Christmas cards, since one of them is a "****ing Jew". It would culturally insensitive to send Christmas card

Good interview with Devens about the epic coin flip. He didn't tell his kids about it, or about meeting Mr. Beast, until they saw the episode Wednesday night.

Nicely played on his part. I'm betting his kids loved that portion of the show.

As someone who took Joe in the re-pick, I'm starting to get antsy about his inability to spell now that the standings have gotten crowded at the top and he has already lost 4 points for spelling people's names wrong at Tribal.

Remaining Survivors and the chances he can spell their name right at Tribal

Good chance
Emily
Tiff
Rick

Scarier
Devens, if he doesn't put Rick
Tiffany, if he doesn't put Tiff
Aubry, Stephenie couldn't do it, and that's his last memory of seeing her name
Jonathan - 9 letters, no way he's getting all the way through it

Impossible
Rizo - Half of us, including me, spell it Rizzo half the time.
Ozzy - A weird spelling of a common name
Cirie - I see a future where Joe writes her name down but thinks it starts with an S

The kid only uses 1 "z" to spell Rizzo....

Add another reason he annoys me....

And, yes w/Joe's spelling, I fear my strategy of negative points per episode may not work out so well in the end....

Stephanie utterly pooped it at tribal last week.
As fun as Devens is his days are numbered. No shot they let him make final 3.

I think Emily has the worst game play of any left on the beach

Devens, Currie, Ozzy, Rizzo in the final 4.

While I agree you are on to something there...

"Curie" ..?

Preview for Wednesday. Aubry makes a great point that Devens is really taking the bullseye off her. With Jonathan losing almost his whole alliance in the last 3 episodes, perhaps he will really secretly team up with her to make some big moves. At some point, Jonathan needs to start thinking about getting Joe out. They vote together, but Joe can't be sneaky and is a challenge beast. Although maybe you want him in the end because nobody seems to like him that much

Assuming they flush Rick's idol this week, who will be the target? Won't Aubry be the secondary vote?

There has been so much chaos, I figured they would take out Emily. Although she's another prime candidate to take to the end and watch her get zero votes.

With Tiff winning a couple of immunities here lately, it is painful how far out of her league Emily is.

Great timing. Aren't we going to be subjected to some kind of Billie Eilish promo tonight? A movie trailer or a video or something?

I hate that they have to say "The Billie Eilish Boomerang Idol" every time they refer to it. Also it's dumb that it has been the most meaningless twist so far since no one has used one or been voted out with one.

I like that they are trying to introduce/play with some other levels of strategy with the idols, and the idea of a boomerang idol is interesting. It just hasn't worked. I'm fine with one off things like this if they just want to try stuff. If they bring it back, then thats dumb.

The idea is fine. But Billie Elish? What does she have to do with boomerangs? And she doesnt watch the show?

Mr Beast is the only celebrity thing that actually worked.

That's not true, the Jimmy Fallon twist destroyed 40% of ballots in the pickem!

Based on 9 players left with 3 episodes to go, are we getting a double elimination tonight?

As I said previously, way too many people left with not enough episodes.

Some sht is about to go down.

And they know that- they aren't too stupid to do the math. (Math is all they have to do all day.)

Cerie got to use her extra vote twice. Not sure how I feel about that.
And Ozzy goes home with an idol in his pocket, twice times.

I thought of course Ozzy would play his idol. That was a surprise

Quote of the night, perhaps of the season

Cirie: "Joe lives at 500 Hypocrisy Hill, Fiji."

Feels like the rest of this game is Cirie vs. Aubry, with a side dish of Rizo. I can't imagine any of the women on the jury voting for any of the male players, other than Emily for Devens.

Top Scorer of the Week: Big ups to gravy97 for a week-high 14.5 points out of just 3 players Devens, Joe, and Jonathan, all his original picks still alive. We also had Ag87H2O and Johnsy3 with 14 and both Mozart and agquirrel97 with 13.5.

The perfect game gets broken up in the 7th inning: Johnsy3 finally loses one of his original 5 as Emily goes home.

Stat of the Week: Peace is restored at the DoItBest home, as Mrs. DIB retakes the lead from the man of the house, who unfortunately takes a second straight negative point hit thanks to Ozzy's spectacular flameout.

Episode Recap I made a couple of judgement calls at Tribal, if anyone wants to discuss, just let me know.

Immunity Challenge:
Cirie is first one out: -2
Jonathan wins immunity: +5
Jonathan wins the advantage: +2


Tribal #1
I'm giving Devens +3 for playing his idol and saving himself. If he hadn't played it, it would have been 2-2-2 with him, Emily, and Cirie, and I think we can all agree they would have voted him out in the re-vote.
Also giving Cirie +3 for playing her advantage to alter who goes home. If she hadn't had the extra vote, she would have been gone with 2 votes to Emily's 1.
Emily voted out: -3. Emily finishes with a incredibly low 8.5 points in 11 episodes an average of 0.77 points per episode.

Tribal #2
Ozzy voted off: -3
Ozzy voted off with a HII in his pocket: -5
Ozzy misspells Aubry's name: -1
Incredibly, Joe spelled Ozzy's name right.

Moving on: Aubry, Cirie, Joe, Jonathan, Devens, Rizo, and Tiff all get +1 for surviving another Tribal.


With 2 episodes to go, there are 4 people separated by just 7.5 points at the top, and another 7 within 19 points of first place. If you think you're out of it, you are definitely not. I looked back at the final mega-episode for Survivor 49 12 people got at least 24 points, and both RudyJax and myself racked up 41.5 points in the finale. You can do it!

Worst case scenario. All the people I liked have been voted out and most of the ones I have little interest in

I'd like to propose a rule change retroactive for the entire game. For those that had Dee they should be awarded half a point for each night she shows up on the jury.

She continues her smoke show ways!!
