Here's some of Sam Vicario's commentary after the challenge to Scott. She's really into this Scott/Sam alliance... little does she know about the men's club or w/e...

[2:02:51 AM] scott: Love you too do you think we lost?
[2:03:56 AM] Samantha Vicario: i was just going to fill you in for like 5 minutes but we can talk tomorrow! it’s hard to tell. we didn’t do great but the questions were difficult. i was mad because i was voted out first and i knew a good amount of answers but my punishment was really easy so i guess that’s why

Read into this however you wanna. Results will be posted sometime tomorrow!

I find Scott's gameplay just so annoying. There's nothing worse than constantly acting dumb (cough Jesse) but at least with Jesse it's part of his social game, Scott's comes across needy. Like

[2016-07-14, 2:05:21 AM] scott: Ugh well we can not go anywhere
[2016-07-14, 2:06:00 AM] Samantha Vicario: well tomorrow night i’m getting on call with holli and i’ll definitely try to talk to miller and kate tomorrow too.
[2016-07-14, 2:07:08 AM] scott: Ok good good! Ugh I'm so nervous

It comes across so fake and worthless to me god

Nick won't, Jesse won't, Holli won't, Kate won't. It's done there. They're forming a minority - idiots. Unless Sam continues to try and target Jesse and then he sides with them? Maybe? Agree Sam needs to stay quiet about this ousting of Jesse. Like where did this even come from? Is it because of Jared being an amazing player or something? Basically, from what she said yeah. Also Scott said that Jesse is not to be trusted and for some reason Sam is trusting Scott? But it seems like it's mostly cause she thinks Jesse is gonna play the same as Jared and Jared is always a threat. Kinda dumb to target someone for that IMO when he could be a number on your side ESPECIALLY considering how close he is with the other girls. I mean I kind of understand it in the sense that like, if you feel like someone is going to be a threat to you down the line it's smarter to weaken them while you can and before they really get a chance to touch you. If Sam thinks Jared is going to be a threat down the line, Jesse is a guaranteed number on his side and she has a golden opportunity to take the first hit. I see it as the inverse of duos that are aligning with each other and playing nice with each other because their partners are close and they don't want to jeopardize that. Jared can't touch Vic right now, so I think Sam knows that a move against Jared/Jesse now wouldn't be putting herself or Vic in any immediate danger. (Although maybe once news gets to her about how losing your loved one means getting access to the idol board maybe she'll change her tune). However I agree that now is NOT the time to be making this move. If Jesse is a number to keep her in and there's a plan to take her out, she NEEDS to stay on his good side until she can grab the majority without him. Plus Jesse is my fantasy pick so like Sam Sam no stop please

Speaking of Vic and Jared the meeting I'm most looking forward to is these two. Brief history these two played in iSurv1vor Haiti and were never really on the same page. Jared voted for Vic to get booted and Jared got blindsided when Vic played an idol. followed by a instant tribal where Vic gets voted out and they are stuck together in ponderosa as the first 2 jurors. I don't know how there dynamic is since then and I'm really intrigued as to how there forst convo goes (please record this production...)

Kruger's call.

Zac talking about Sean wanting him out. Zac thinks he's screwed on his tribe right now.

Zoie is REALLY worried that Razek could be on the bottom of Haida, she hates the idea of Sean getting "an idol clue" (this info from Ruben spread VERY quickly). I think that Zoie even recognizes the fact that Razek is a loose cannon and may not be best for her game, personally and tribe wise.

I think Zac is super hard on himself and doesn't think he's liked in or out of the game :/. Zac when you're reading this it's very opposite to your perspective! You're one of my favourites right now.

Anthony is worried about Brian w because he keeps stuff to himself and doesn't give a lot away but he really wants Zoie out next

GUYS THERE'S HOPE (not Kate's alias, literal hope)
I asked Scott where his loyalties currently lie to get better insight into his game right now:

Quote

Well my number 1 at the moment is sam and will always be Sam, I'm in that Ruben thing but I don't trust him at all.

Zac trusts Lisa 100%. He also trusts Miller by proxy since Miller is really helping Lisa out. Props to Lisa though, she has been RAD this season thus far. However, Zac wants both him and Zoie to get rid of Miller's allies.

Zac is asking Zoie for help to see if Jenna is with Zac 100 percent. Zac wants Zoie to do some snooping with her #1 ally to see if Jenna is as strong with Zac as Zac is with Jenna. I don't think Zac realizes that he's slowly growing into a favourable position in his tribe whilst Sean drops in stock. I hope he isn't overplaying and gets burned for it.

This is coming from his doubts from his last and only other game where the players found him fake for being himself and certain production members who teased him for it. I think these facts are heavily weighing on him right now and it sucks because those people don't exactly have the miss congeniality crown.

I love Zac. I can tell he's really passionate about this and that's why his paranoia is going through the roof. I definitely feel for him, I've def been there, and I think a trip to tribal council to prove where people's loyalties lie would do him well. He has Lisa, he can get Jenna and by proxy Jared, and I think Tyler would easily follow suit in that group.

Yeah. Zac is REALLY hard on himself. He thinks nobody believes him when he talks, which is NOT true. I think Jenna is super high on Zac. Lisa is super high on Zac.

Zoie is trying to coach Zac and give him tips to make him feel better/make him believe in himself. I love the Kruger's so much. So great.

YES I'm glad Scott's sticking to Sam, I'm rooting for the girls on that tribe hardcore.

Also Holli doesn't remind me of Molly anymore because Holli doesn't want to vote out any of the girls and Molly is like the biggest meninist I know (she's also my favourite meninist).

Also we don't talk enough about the Wojans? I love Zac/Zoie but Jenna and Brian W are quickly becoming one of my favourite pairings because they seem like they're having such lighthearted fun with this and having fun together!! Everyone else I feel is so serious that I feel like they're treating it kind of just like any other game and not really appreciating that they're playing with a loved one. I've got a huge appreciation for Jenna and Zoie and Lisa that are really just here because they know it's so important to their loved ones and it's nice to see that supportive attitude!

When is Ruben going make a confessional. Like seriously Ruben the one time I want to see your confessional ASAP and you're making me wait.. Why you gotta be like this for?

I don't know if he plays dumb or if he is literally just very needy. Like Jesse plays up that ditzy card but he makes it endearing, and even though it's very see-through it's very funny. When Scott tries to play dumb he just looks that, dumb because he doesn't have the charisma needed to pull the dumb card off without seeming annoying/needy (like Jesse does).

On another note, I hope that Zac can find his confidence in himself, I think Jenna can really help with that. She said it herself that Zac reminds her of Brian in a lot of ways, and I think that lack of confidence while being a superb person is one of them, so I am hoping Zac can have a come-to-Jesus talk with Jenna and she can do what she does for Brian all the time <3

Anyone else excited for the Deal or No Deal challenge next round?
