Its a pretty quiet final 4. Corey seems to have given up before even attempting the challenge. We still have 3 people to do the challenge and the one person who did go took around 2 hours, so it'll be a busy afternoon hosting them. Tribal pretty early tonight, 8:30 PM EST and then it'll be down to our final immunity challenge. Do I see anyone doing better than Ramsey & Georgina? No not this season.

If Corey really has given up I am gonna be really upset.
All he has done all season long is talk a big game, call people "bitches" and rob Jesse/Holli from being able to make a move and avoid a super predictable final 3.
After the dust being settled, I wouldn't call Jesse and Holli robbed. They deserved to make it to the end game, however you have to play with the pieces you have at hand. Kate has forged a bond with Corey, I believe it's a genuine bond. Corey is loyal to a fault so someone he really connects with and it seems he's really connected to Kate. Corey sunk his ship for Kate, and it seems like he's fine doing it. The emphasis on play to win has been beaten into this viewers lounge, myself guilty of it as well. At the end of the day, sometimes friendship and victory are equally important and I can understand that. That's how I think I play, so any time I've looked down upon others for playing that way, I've been super hypocritical.
It's frustrating Corey played for 4th. But if he's proud of his game and proud of what he got out of this game, I can't really be too upset with him. We have a stellar upcoming final 3, we're going to have a stellar winner, and no matter what Corey has won friends out of this game. I'm cool with it.
But anyway Miller wins immunity! Corey put up an admirable effort and was really into trying to save his skin. I definitely bought into his struggle.
Kate messaged me right after results went up:

[7:36:27 PM] Kate: [9/2/16, 4:35:33 PM] Mi11errr <3 <3 <3!: Lol sorry for beating you :p
[7:36:31 PM] Kate: he really has a way with words
[7:37:44 PM] Kate: like is it just me or is that a really obnoxious way of saying something like that
A domino being set up to lead to a Nick win? Pray for it fam.
[8:59:39 PM] Holli Rutkowski: WOW WHO WOULDA THOUGHT THESE LAST TWO VOTES WOULDA WENT THIS WAY
[8:59:50 PM] Holli Rutkowski: That's all I gotta say rn I'm at a concert
Coming back from my inactive disappearance to voice my love of this F3. How wonderful. Whether we see a Kate or Nick win, I'm really content with either one for different reasons.

This is the kind of player Kate stood out to be in her interview for this season from my perspective. It's almost like you get it or you don't. There are players who play with an emotional investment and there are players who come to play that leave their emotions at the door.
In Kate's last confessional she is almost defeated and it's so hard to watch because she has played an amazing game and she is someone who is very good at the relationship building side of it. It sucks to see her get torn down by someone she grew close with but ultimately had to vote out to continue her journey in this game. One thing I will disagree with that she said is that second place is worse than any other placement. I know her main reason was that FTC's can be brutal but I don't think someone with a game as incredible as she's played should be discounted AT ALL should she get second place!
This final tribal council is going to be a sad one no matter who leaves though :(
This is a really strong final 3 and I'm happy with any of them winning. I may be their least favorite prod member as the bearer of bad news, but I love them all.
