Also, Debbie's Ponderosa episode is great. Neal and Nick are both just like "KILL ME NOW, PLEASE".

Finally caught the latest episode.

I've gotta say, I was kind of pulling for the guys until this whole "sabotage" thing started. Now they are just being dicks.

But it led to a pretty awesome tribal, so that's good.

my sentiments exactly. That was just whiney, childish behavior. Period. So ridiculous, just because their plan was foiled and they looked like fools they throw a temper tantrum. I can totally see Ty flipping on them because you can already see that he has a problem 'acting' like that.

Holy crap, that was unreal. Jason is gonna be PISSED!!!! At least Scott took it gracefully. On one hand, it was nice to see Tai kinda redeem himself, but at the same time, it kinda sucked to see him turn on the alliance he'd become a part of. Those guys were being WAY too cocky though, damn.

Also, did anyone else notice that the episode that aired on 4/20 had two challenges that had pots in them?

I think had they toned down their arrogance Tai would have stuck with them. But, the bravado they were insistent on showing ultimately revealed to Tai that he was #3 out of that alliance and he knew they'd flip on him. It also helps his game if he gets to the end because that was HUGE!

Yeah, all of that. You could tell Tai wasn't going to do it, because he just wasn't like them. Jason and Scott were silly to be so reckless and arrogant and should have been able to read Tai and see he wasn't as committed as they were to that alliance.
It's just a shame that Scott went home with that idol.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1441 on:** April 21, 2016, 11:36:07 AM »

18 seconds. 18 seconds between Probst saying Scott was out and Tai shaking his head no. Longest 18 seconds ever.

Ehh...I don't feel bad for him (or Jason) at all. They were being dicks and paid the price for over confidence. That usually happens. Now, there should be another idol in play and hidden to find. That'd be cool if Tai could find it. He'd have Super Immunity AND an extra vote. Seemingly a clear path to the final three.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1443 on:** April 21, 2016, 12:27:27 PM »

The new Ponderosa is up. Scot showed the idol to everyone and Neal went nuts.

I meant more for the sake of having idols in play for the super idol and keeping things unpredictable, rather than any concern for Jason or Scott, and it's a shame in principle to see someone go home when they could have played an idol. No loss. They're not playing a good strategic or social game, and now it's biting them in the ass hard.

Gotcha. In that aspect it is a bummer because it'd would have (could be?) cool to see a super idol affect a vote. I think that tribal exposed the problem though...you have to have two folks who trust each other enough to give up their individual immunity for the sake of an alliance. Maybe in a strong alliance that'd work but i think Tai figured out he wasn't in the grand plan...

Yeah. If it was Scott and Jason in charge of the two idols, I think they would have been tight enough to go through with it for each other, but Tai used the opportunity to stand up to the bullies, and he's remained likeable to the other people, so I think that will earn him some points at camp going forward.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #1447 on:** April 24, 2016, 04:53:06 AM »

Just caught up on the episode yesterday afternoon.

Holy crap, that was awesome.

So, is Tai the odds-on favorite going forward?

I think he and Aubrey are. She's been tough in challenges and looks like she may win one soon, he's been playing a great all around game. That was a massive move to be able to boast about at the final tribal if he gets there. I don't see anyone else but those two as favorites.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #1449 on:** April 28, 2016, 02:45:54 AM »

I'm surprised Tai held back on using his idol. I've got no problem with Julia going. Jason seems to be more likable without Scott around. As usual, I like to see how far the underdog can get, even though you know there's only so far they can go.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1450 on:** April 28, 2016, 06:26:50 AM »

This is one time that I don't mind seeing the underdog go home. Jason has been kinda an asshole most of the time he's been out there, so I will not miss him at all. I'm rooting for Tai all the way, at this point. If not him, MAYBE Aubrey, but nobody else has really given me any reason to still want them around.

Yeah, he's and underdog but it's his own fault due to his arrogance. I'd take him to the end as no one but Scott will give him a vote. I'm with you on rooting for either Tai or Aubrey, they are the most 'deserving' that are left given that they've been playing hard. And man....I was surprised that Tai didn't use his idol, I think I would have at that point.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #1452 on:** April 28, 2016, 09:10:06 AM »

I like Tai, but he's a bit too wishy washy. Everyone likes him, which would get him votes, but even factoring in his blindside, I don't think he's played a great strategic game or physical game.
Aubrey has played a good all around game, and deserves to do well, but I don't like her much for some reason.

I don't know who I'm rooting for at this point really.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1453 on:** April 28, 2016, 09:10:47 AM »

I was surprised he didn't use the idol also.

I've always understood the idea of taking assholes to the end with you, because nobody will vote for them, but there's the other side of me that says "You're still rewarding that asshole with a $100,000 runner-up prize". I don't necessarily like rewarding bad behavior, but I know that's how you have to play the game sometimes.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #1454 on:** April 28, 2016, 09:12:42 AM »

It bugs me when people wimp out on taking the obvious loser to the end because they want to take the nice people. Play to win!

Exactly.

I would have taken out Tai this week if I were them. Oh well.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #1456 on:** May 05, 2016, 01:25:43 AM »

No surprise that Jason's time was up. I don't think Tai is cut out to be calling the shots though, so I anticipate a blindside attempt soon.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1457 on:** May 05, 2016, 06:20:02 AM »

Yep, Jason's exit was no surprise. I'm bummed for Tai that he wasted his advantage, but yeah, he's no shot caller. I'll be shocked if he makes it to the end, though I'd like for him to.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #1458 on:** May 05, 2016, 06:24:09 AM »

Tai's not good at the game, and imo doesn't deserve to win. All he has going for him is he's nice. I'm not really going for anyone though.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1459 on:** May 05, 2016, 06:29:39 AM »

I'm thinking probably Aubrey. Even at that, she hasn't really WON me over, other than being tenacious at challenges.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #1460 on:** May 05, 2016, 06:39:13 AM »

Yeah, I agree. I don't really like her though.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #1462 on:** May 12, 2016, 04:49:10 AM »

Again it's a shame to see someone go for medical reasons, especially as it was ironically indirectly caused by winning the reward challenge. Slow and steady won the challenge though! At least he got that final moment.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1463 on:** May 12, 2016, 06:28:35 AM »

This season now holds the record for medevacs at three. That was such an anticlimactic episode. And at this point, I can't even remember, was there even an immunity challenge last night? Also, now Tai has a hidden immunity idol that he can't use (could only use it up to F5), so now he'll have it as a souvenir.

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #1464 on:** May 12, 2016, 06:35:15 AM »

I hadn't considered either of those two points. No immunity challenge, no immunity idol any more. Tai is in trouble now.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #1465 on:** May 12, 2016, 08:16:21 AM »

lol Tai

Too bad about another medevac. Not a very satisfying episode. But if it had to happen to someone, I'm glad it was him. He was kind of just taking up space in the game.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1466 on:** May 12, 2016, 11:49:35 AM »

Funny enough, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly on May 5, Probst hinted that there could be a final 2 this time around. If that’s the case, they may give Tai another week to use it. We will see. If that happens, expect people to scream "FIX".

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #1467 on:** May 12, 2016, 12:25:52 PM »

I wish it would go back to Final 2.

Yep. I prefer that as well. There's always one out of the three that have no shot at all of getting a vote ...so it'd be neat to get back to two.

I think this is Aubreys to lose.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #1469 on:** May 16, 2016, 06:26:21 AM »

Unquestionably. I think even if Tai does go to the end, too many people are irritated at his turning on them to give it to him.
