A Scully blindside would be HUGE. A big loss in terms of players/characters this season, BUT it would be the perfect ending to his arc, I feel.
ALSO, Kate/Nick/Miller would be left in the dark, which means we could have the absolutely perfect alliance, and if Jesse somehow joins we would have perfection in our hands.
IF SEAN SURVIVES AFTER I HAD LOST ALL HOPE FOR MY FRIEND AND (LET'S BE REAL, MORE IMPORTANTLY) SUICIDE PICK THIS ROUND THEN I WILL ONCE AGAIN HAVE HOPE IN JESUS, MIRACLES, AND PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA
Kate's got the wrong read on the situation. This is gonna be an interesting 24 hours.

I feel like it's way too early to make a move against us for that. [Vicarios] I do expect them to do it, but... I don't THINK they'll do it yet?
I wonder if word is going to break today to Scully of if everyone is gonna keep hush. Kate's already somewhat suspicious. Miller and Nick are on call with Scott and Scott hasn't said a single thing. He really isn't talking game though, he's just talking about whatever. Credit to him, maybe it's just how he is, but he comes off as someone who just socializes and socializes and he appears to be a "cards on the table" guy. He's kept hush about this Scully vote, so power to him.
Kate continues to be wary and the opposition has thus far kind of handled it poorly because she's onto them. She's still reading the play wrong and thinks it's Miller. I wouldn't be surprised to see an idol flushed out this round -- Miller playing it on himself or Kate playing it on Miller.
I think the fact that Kate knows something is up shows how good she is as a player, and what a good read she has. Unfortunately she has a bad read on the situation, I really hope she doesn't hastily play the idol and waste it because Nick/Miller/her will need that in the coming rounds to dethrone the Vicario/Morgan 's.
I completely agree, Alex. Keeping those two idols are huge right now. My concern is Kate hasn't been upfront about who knows about Miller and Nick having the idols, more in particular Miller. This information is now public knowledge. I think everyone in the game has caught wind through Sean or through Vic or through someone. Kate's trust has been breached and I fear it's going to affect her negatively with Miller who she desperately needs.
Not gonna lie, an idol play on Scully tonight would blow my mind. I've thought of that potential idea. If Kate can piece it together and see her partner as a potential blindside suspect, things will get very interesting today. I'd be all for a Sean boot and a Scully/Kate vs Vicario/Morgan's battle as well. I'm just as for Sean staying and Scully getting booted though. I don't want Sean or Scully to go, honestly. Both have played fantastic first-half games and I'd love to see both make it to the end game stages. It's just not going to happen though. Either way, I think this breaks up the predictable game that was coming to fruition before our eyes so it's a win for viewers.
Either way, I think/hope this fares well for people in the middle like Holli and Jesse. Moreso Holli. Give the girl a fighting chance and I think we're gonna see her make it far.
Corey claims he is the original source behind the Scully boot idea.
Is he though? I don't know about that considering Sean was the one to step up to the plate, Sam got super emotional and Vic went into over-protective brother mode (which again, best side of Vic so far).
Honestly if Sean got idoled out, a Scate/Nick/Miller VS Vicarios/Morgans all out war would be GLORIOUS. With Jesse/Holli having all the power to decide whom to back up, which would be interesting considering how every single person sans Miller has shit all over Jesse's game so seeing him in a power position would feel like a full circle for his story-arc.
Then again Sean has played such a strong game so far that I would hate to see him blindsided like this. I am soooo torn because they both bring something to the table. Praying for a surprise Scott boot somehow so we have the more interesting players play and be divided in an all-out war.
I do wanna offer up in Scully's defense... who else was he supposed to say?
Corey - aligned.
Himself - lol, nope.
Sam - aligned.
Miller - Kate's friend, Kate -- who is Scully's loved one in this game. Also has an idol, therefore a high risk.
Sean - None of the above. Completely free of guilt from any alliance member.
The more I think about this, who else was Scully gonna suggest? If Miller was the vote, Kate was gonna be upset. If Sean leaves, Sam was gonna be upset. They had no choice. In a way they have nobody to blame but themselves for comparing notes, pretty much knowing every role, and not coordinating properly.
Scully gets knocked for being this aggressive gameplayer and telling Sam that "it sucks but it's gotta be done" -- of course he's gonna say this! He doesn't want to hurt Kate, it makes 0 sense.
I wonder if Vic going for Miller would have been smarter in the long term as I feel he could patch things up with Kate better if it was someone Kate's known for a month and a bit, opposed to 15+ years. Idk.
But then I dunno if the Morgan's would go for Miller, idk what the Morgan's main intentions are in this game to be honest. Corey wants to start "playing the game", Scott wants to just have fun and talk to people. I kinda am digging the randomness that the Morgan's offer to this game right now.
Kate is going to be devastated if Scully gets blindsided (and so will I tbh) but if there's one thing I've learned about her, it's that she has an amazing social game and certainly will not lay down once she's blindsided. I fully expect her to rebound from this and I think we could easily see Vic or one of the Morgans joining Scully in jury wondering where it all went wrong very shortly.
Holli is currently my favourite. Her last confessional was stellar. Vic and Sam are planning to tell Kate that Miller and Jesse flipped which is super stupid because Kate's already seeing through Vic. Holli realizes this and is waiting to pick Kate up for herself to pick off all of the other couples, Nick/Miller included. She's had, in my opinion, the most stellar first merge round. Chris leaving might have been the best thing for her game. She was able to sit back this round and let everything explode and she's there to pick up the pieces. I have so many favourites tbh, this cast has been great. Holli is the flavour of the now. I'm hype.
Kate's uphill battle is that people currently see her and Scully as the front runners for the win. With Scully going she could easily be targeted. I think she has it in her to turn it around in her favour, and that's my hope (pun intended yet again) -- I'm really hoping that one of Sam/Holli/Kate "Holy Trinity" as it was coined pre game come out with the W this season. However there are influential players in this game, like Sean, who are just as vocal and as great of a campaigner. Sean wants Kate to win if not him it seems -- whether this convinced him to target her or help her is yet to be seen. She doesn't have it easy, but if she gets to the finals she's gonna build up a hell of a case.
