Maybe consider doing a CBS All Access trial when you have a week of free time to steamroll through the seasons/episodes not on the others you listed to clear out your backlog. Then just cancel before you're charged.

Well this sucks. I only caught up last night after missing two weeks of episodes and I just realized I must have done my roster swap incorrectly at the merge. I was betting on David or Kelly making it deep and neither of them are on my roster. The rest I didn't feel strongly about but I'm fairly certain I must have put all the players I wanted outside of my draft and all the players I wanted inside of it.
Disappointing. Anyway I subbed in my 5 active players and now I can sit back and ignore the site for the rest of the season since there are no meaningful decisions. It's ridiculous that I can't swap out people who got eliminated during tribe swaps. Oh well!

I really wonder why anyone would feel any certainty at this point in the game to sit out. No one should feel certain about more than one or two allies right now.
Edit: Wardog out first again!

Wardog: "We've voted together every vote! Come with us!"
Wentworth: "Hey, we might not keep voting together, so come with us!"
Wentworth: "Hey, we might not keep voting together, so come with us!"
"We can vote Wardog out anytime."
"Are you guys ready for your final immunity challenge? Today, you will be running numbers in your head until you solve this equation."
Pointed out by someone else- it was useless this TC because as the target of the revote, a 5-5 tie would go 4-3 on the revote against her.
Still, holy shit.
I mean, does Wardog have a single ally right now? There are people who might be willing to work with him for a vote or two, but he has no long term alliances, no idol, and he might be the worst challenge performer since Dan from Nicaragua.
Yeah, it wasn't going to save her, but revealing it to Ron was a gamble in terms of possibly giving him a reason to vote her out and keep it. I'm not sure I would have been willing to make that move in her spot.
Someone finally realized "hey we should just vote out all the returnees, period."
Yeah, Wardog is going to have a rough time to get to final 3. He is the type of player that should try to keep big threats in the game to protect himself.
Still very interesting season so far, but probably going to have a lame final 3 with Ron, Aurora and Lauren, or something like that.

Wardog is just awful at these challenges. At least he had the excuse of the butterfly in the one though.
That first challenge was pretty evil. The other was a good one.
It's not surprising who was voted out. It's been a long time coming. People are letting Wardog dictate the game, and he's not even that smart.

Kiiiiinda feel like it was slightly a bad move on Ron's part. He voted opposite his closest ally who has already been shown to overreact, he was hand given his way to out-manoeuvre the power 3 and he had ammo on Wardog to even get him out this vote. He had so many option and he chose the one that was basically dictated to him and likely screwed him at the same time.

I'm scanning through these comments about who everyone thinks will win, and I'm kind of shocked at what I'm seeing.
I mean.. Rick is clearly winning this, right? I think Lauren is the red herring.

I feel like Rick has the closest thing to a winner's edit right now, but the game still feels wide open.
Seems like it, doesn't it? Though by the end, this may ultimately lean more toward one of those "the story of how [someone] lost" seasons (e.g., with Wardog or Rick akin to Stephenie in Guatemala or Russell in Samoa) and less "the story of how [someone] won" (if it is Lauren, Julie, Victoria, Gavin, or some EoE scrub who takes it). I really have no idea, at this point.

I will admit that I never expected the remaining returnees to be voted out on the double tribal episode. I for sure though Aurora would be one of them.
It's funny that they both found success whenever their interests aligned and they voted together. As soon as they turned against each other, which was like every other episode, bad things happened. They should have never gunned for each other post-merge.
This would be believable if not for the fact that his tribe early was complete trash and he desperately wanted not to go to tribal again.
I do wonder why he's so bad at everything. He's studying to be an attorney, so you'd think at the very least he'd have learned the logic puzzles.
should find a better hiding spot for that hidden immunity idol, amirite?

If you're lucky enough to still have a bench (I'm not).. take a minute and update your rosters. :)
That does not sound like a positive addition to the show. I'd rather these players figure it out themselves. On the other hand, both of these two players are likely to advise their mentees to backstab so maybe it'll work out for the best.
This really does scream "Jeff can't actually tell people to make big moves so here's these two to do it instead."
Also gets them on location for 40.
Yup. I also imagine they can't publicly pay players to return, so they'll be paid to do this and also happen to decide to do S40.
Rumor is that is that the checkbook was open for S40 (appearance fees + possible prize money increase)
The show's absurdly profitable, so CBS has the budget.

This is just his master plan so that he can just pick up the entire FIC set and immediately be declared the winner on account of his godhood.
