My MVP for each tribe in this challenge.

Tagish

Spoiler	+
Zac took the hardest punishment and knocked it out of the park with no complaints at all. Where Razek and Jesse put their tribe in jeopardy by flirting with the boundaries of what we would let them get away with, Zac held strong and continued to help his tribe with strategy and encouragement. Honorable mention: Tyler for being a surprise success story with the trivia.

Sekani

Spoiler	+
I bitched about the lack of guessing earlier, so it's only fair to point out that Kate was a superb guesser for her tribe. She pulled several answers from thin air, which only gave her more confidence to pull more answers out of thin air. Honorable mention: Holli and Jesse for stepping up and being the emotional and strategic leaders of Sekani during the challenge.

Haida

Spoiler

+

Night and day from the first challenge to this one. After losing Haida the first challenge basically, Casey was a buzzsaw on the questions in this one. She was clearly the single best trivia head of the night for all three tribes, in my opinion. Honorable mention: Razek! Getting knocked out first left Razek with the job of dealing with the hardest punishment for six rounds, and god damn was he a trooper. Just like last challenge, he put his tribe in a position to win, despite the odds. Scully was very solid for Haida on the trivia also.

I am not too sure if Zac is completely correct in his confessionals? He says Tyler is the one targeting him, which I don't think is the case? As far as I knew Sean was the one who is trying to get him out, and yet he is not taking the blame for it? Also, it worries me a lot that he wants to get in with Corey, isn't he like totally Sean's number two? The number he needs is Jared for a tie, especially cause he is not in the greatest position either.

Also, this means sweet Lisa could be a huge determining factor, right? If she is supposed to be with Chris AND Sean AND Zac who are all against each other... who is she gonna pick?

Quite frankly I just want Tagish to win-win-win so that this rivalry can continue further down the line. I love Sean as a villain and I don't see anyone else stepping up to that role anytime soon either. The only way I wouldn't mind them losing is if Corey is the boot because I find him uninteresting in comparison to everyone else.

@Alex Rico -- I'm FAIRLY confident Lisa will pick Zac.

And his last confessional Zac really shows his disdain for Sean right now, understandably so. I'm hoping for a Tagish win as well because this Sean/Zac under the hood feud is building up and I don't think it has reached its climax point. Zac continuously uncovers new information about the spread of the "obese joke" and he has his sights set directly on Sean and somewhat Chris as the ones who are taking things out of context and targeting him because of it.

Where does Corey stand on the whole thing?

I'd say Chris/Sean is spearheading the anti-Zac revolution. Zac made some really distasteful comments, but unlike DK (shoutout) he's kind of accepting them and trying to move on, but he hasn't really addressed them with Sean or Chris yet which is what it'll take to move on.

In terms of Corey - it's hard to say where he stands in terms of everything personally. Literally everyone who talks about him says they know absolutely nothing about him and that he only ever 100% talks game, which I think makes people want to talk to him less, so then he gets paranoid that people aren't talking to him, so then he talks more game. Vicious cycle.

To be honest, I didn't even find it distasteful? It was a light-hearted fat joke. Who hasn't made a light-hearted fat joke? We're all horrible people at times and we all take the bait to say some really horrible shit to make other people laugh. I ain't no saint. None of these people are saints. I really want Sean and Chris to move away from it and start focusing their sights on someone who is actually a detriment to their game. Zac tries to boost morale, he's active in trying to organize and strategize to win, and if he's holding the tribe back he wont hesitate to take a backseat and encourage. Zac is being the ideal tribe mate right now.

Corey is gonna throw himself at Sean and Chris tbh. I can't see him not.

what even was the comment?

If I'm not mistaken they were playing some sort of would you rather or hypothetical situation game and Jenna brought up something to do with a "large" person which meant like 7 feet w/e. Zac took it as a bigger person and made some joke about "not liking fat poeple" (HEAVILY paraphrased, I wasn't there for the conversation, this is what the opposition says he said -- I don't believe it) which led to this fuckin' ballyhoo. It's pretty much the only Tagish storyline right now, but it's the overbearing and most interesting one in the game right now imo.

The way he worded it did come across as though he was saying he didn't like fat people, but what he meant was that he doesn't understand when people don't do something about it (when they can control it) after his own experiences with an obese father. It came across poorly but he meant it in a much different way. Regardless they were playing a lighthearted game and I think people were literally just looking for an excuse to target someone else.

Tagish is so divided that I hope that we don't have to see them go to tribal any time soon. Because with Tyler having immunity, I have NO IDEA how the breakdown of votes would go and I love most of the people on this tribe.

Ugh I don't want Casey to go if they lose immunity. She tried so hard and did so well. ;_;

I think there still may be a push for Razek. Everyone realizes how much of a loose cannon he is. Admittedly he was the weakest in this last challenge, but with a tribe that seemingly hasn't shown a definitive weak link (Casey redeeming herself, Razek doing great challenge 1, the rest being very consistent), something like volatile behaviour may be ultimately costs Razek.

is there any possibility that he was using "phat" instead?

people in ORGs are basically social justice warriors, everything is blown out of proportion and the double standards are very high

Sean has compared Corey to a dog begging to be walked but you don't want to walk him because you want to watch TV.
