Did we see Christian's take on the alliance of six? I can't really remember if we did. I just wonder what happens when he may have to decide between it and Brochachos and wonder if that is more the crux of the next episode than him actually being a target.

The thing is, if they are not trageting Christian, who are they targeting? I guess it could also be Gabbie (it can be seen as a strong duo) or maybe it could be the moment to say goodbye to Angelina?
In any case, really loving how this season is dveloping and how proactive people seem to take the game in their hands. This has to be the best casting in a long time, very likeable, and Christina is the best nerd archetype they have gotten since I started watching the show back in season 24.

I'm plumetting in the fantasy league, now down to 4 people, and one of them is Angelina :|
Let's hope the ones I have left can win some rewards and immunities.

I think they may be targeting Dan. They need to blindside him and it's early enough that he wouldn't see it coming. He's also a big enough target that the Six can avoid revealing themselves while still working toward their goals.

I'm fourth to last in fantasy. Been playing with 4 for weeks. This site is fun but the problem is that it's completely and totally uninteractive once you get down to less than 6 players. They really need to do something about that.

I feel like the fantasy style could really be tweaked or changed a decent amount.

Spread out the points and give variations of points for placement in comps, or give points for confessionals. Give stupid points for stuff that doesn't happen much anymore. Do we see someone bring back and read tree mail? Point. Take away points for stuff like sitting out of a comp or not getting picked for a comp.

Also could have some kind of like redraft right before merge episode that lets players swap out one or two players.

I feel like there's a lot that could be added to make it more interactive and more crazy. But not sure if this would be the system to do it when half the time it seems like stuff gets missed or not counted until people point it out.

I think them missing stuff could be forgiven. There are plenty of fans who are standing by to correct them and that's probably good enough for a passion project, though obviously it'd be good if they could just keep a proper tally.

I agree that earning points could be more interactive and fun. Instead of winning points when your tribe wins, requiring you to have participated seems like it'd keep things interesting. A redraft might work too to help people salvage poor runs. I think lowering the number of players you play each week to four might help also on top of increasing the total number you draft day 0.

Yeah, if you decrease the amount of people you play each week while increasing points earning you'd really ad a lot more decision making and variations.

I would love this. I really think a fantasy league based on survivor needs to incorporate largely 'people being featured and doing shit' because that's the fun part of the show. That said, it's a bit more analog to score at that point depending on how you do it. The reality is I watch the show to be entertained, and I think the best fantasy league team should incorporate the most entertaining people for the longest time, with some points for placement/winning/etc of course too (which is entertaining).

It's been fun either way.

They're totally going to use the vote steal and nullifier at the same time.to just try and brute force someone out given the opportunity.

Mike totally just talked himself out of the group lol

Like, Gaby was 100% playing that shit up at TC because she's HIDING HER SECRET MEGA ALLIANCE.

I swear every decision the US version makes with comps pisses me off. Ok, here's a cool endurance comp, they just did it on Australia. "One person goes out every 15 minutes" WTF? Why?! Literally the whole point is to be an ENDURANCE comp. Why just speed shit up for no damn reason?

Scheduling. Palau's comp going 12 hrs+ radically altered their approach going forward.

I get it on some. Comps like this though? There's just no way they'll go on all that long. Why artificially shorten it when it will go that way no matter what?

This challenge was really set up for something like this. You need to be pulling people out or else you can just keep shifting the bags around when someone is getting a little tired.

Doesn't that in itself cause more risk in dropping them? It just seems like the time save isn't really saving all that much. They just keep adding these arbitrary limiters to endurance comps to really just make them less and less 'endurance'.

I really hope we get a secret scene breaking this down because I'm fascinated to see where they actually decided on the plan.

Man, I liked John. Glad they saved Christian, though. He's the best. Dan is a total sucker.

Great episode. Loving this season so much. It was Angelina vs Christian and we managed to keep them both!

Davids were really clever in identifying that the Goliaths didn't have the numbers to split and would have at least one idol to play in response to theirs. Assuming that Davie had to have spilled the beans about his idol (or at least a core 3), if they decided to split their 5 votes. Will be interested to see what happens to Alec, Alison, and Mike now, since they got caught lying.

Damn I love john, he took it so well

This cast is amazing. Everybody feels like a big player with a web of relationships.

RIP John, what a casualty.

Good play by the Davids though, I thought that was very well done.

And it was a Christian too that took him out.

Fantastic episode. This season is really firing hard. Has to be one of the best all original casts in a while right? Maybe since Kass and Tony and them?
