[10:48:39 PM] Corey Cor: fuck off troll

Meanwhile in Ponderosa, Scully greets his new friend!

[10:53:30 PM] Scully: I'mma let my spirit animal sum this up.
[10:53:31 PM] Scully:

I don't know exactly what this means but ye

In news, Corey will not be around for Pressure Cooker.

Will this hurt his game? Does he need this immunity? Probably.

Corey had a fantastic previous round in my opinion. He picked a side, kept Sean focused, called his shot, took it, Scully went.

This round he tried to take that same shot and completely missed wide. Made a spiel at tribal trying to pledge loyalty to Kate, made himself look dumb in the process, and is now in a 5 on 4 situation that does not fare well for him, Vic, and Scott in the immediate future. I think Sean's gonna muster up something and sneak out of this -- somehow.

Corey had such a chance last round but he can't keep his damn mouth shut and now he's out of it.

To add onto this, he even knew Miller was trying to get under his skin and yet he still bought into it. Idk why??? If he kept his mouth shut, I think he could have gotten into Kate's good graces for a third time. There's no turning back now though.

I think Holli's going to pull another move soon against Nick/Miller/Kate. One of Nick and Miller need to go sooner rather than later for her and Holli to fall into favourable position. I can definitely see Holli wrangle up Sean and Jesse to do something -- probably involving Scott because Scott has been the "number" guy this entire game thus far. I think Scott has accepted that, is okay with that, and will use that as long as he possibly can.

I think Vic and Kate are on call right now. That's one call I'd love to be a fly on the wall for right now.

i would say i hope one leaves next but then they would share my placement so NO THANKS.

Ruben tho

Corey just sent this to me:
"so what do u do when u are in complete minority? u blow up everyones game and tell kate everything that anyone has every told u oops"

Corey. What. Are. You. Doing!?

More from Corey:

including i knew she had the idol the entire time and that i was the one that told sean about the idols, not miller

this is my way of quitting without quitting

Corey you're my friend but that's lame. In season 2 you pretty much watched me do the same thing you did and wind up looking like a complete tool for it. If you kept quiet tonight, regrouped, and acted as perfectly normal and strategically mature as you could you'd still have a fighting shot. Now you're just burying yourself. Fuck.

Right now I'm really interested in hearing Kate's point of view. She's had what has probably been her most emotionally driven night in the game thus far -- breaking down during the vote reveal, avenging Scully and exacting vengeance on one half of the Vicario's for their unnecessary lie. I know Kate has talked to Vic and Corey tonight and seemingly Sean since there's some sort of "final 2" chat made with Sean/Kate? Idk. I'm interested to her her perspective.

The other person that I'm interested to hear from right now is Sean. I'm so happy that Sean is elated to have made final 9 once again after being on the ropes last round. Sean's new found drive to attempt to make it back to the finals is one I'm closely following. Once what was not possible, now has a slight chance of coming true. I'd like to see what he does -- whether it be jump from the sinking ship that is the remains of sniper 6, or if he tries to rebuild it and work himself back up into a majority with Vic, Corey, and Scott.

I'm super bummed for Sam especially because the main squeeze to play this game (other than to play with Vic) was Pressure Cooker. To fall short... sucks to see. Also it sucks that the Vicario's time in the game has come to an end -- Vic said it's one real thing that he and his sister can find common ground and bond over. It's sad, but at the same time they're the reasons it all came to fruition. Vic can only go til noon on Saturday for Pressure Cooker -- I don't think that's going to be enough to win.

From Kate's confessional, Corey was thinking about quitting after tribal -_-. I get the split instinct of being like "ahhh to hell with this" but expanding on the fact and having Kate actually have to talk him out of it really bugs me. Literally you're not only hurting yourself in this game, but whatever allies you had by having a roll over and die mentality. Rubs me the wrong way and I hope he goes this round just for that reason alone.

I think Vic shot himself in the foot already by deflecting fault on Sean Corey and Scott to Kate instead of accepting his part of the blame. Seeing Vic win back the good graces of Kate seems to be his best move right now and I don't think he's gonna achieve that.

Kate is relying on Holli this round to call her shot and follow due to the fear of Holli potentially flipping back. I think Holli is set on Vic or Corey going this round.

I think a lot of people just see me as Anthony's brother, and unfortunately for me, a lesser version of Anthony. For that reason I believe it comes across like I'm just a follower, not an active player and capable strategist. The reality is that Anthony and I are two entirely different people, personalities--with many similar but also lots and lots of different interests. More than ever Anthony and I's lives are heading in opposite directions. But even as Anthony and I are two different threads from the same cloth, we have no other choice but to play this game in radically different ways.

>me when Nick realizes after the game he's been consistently at the top of the popularity polls, has a cult following, and is accepted as the torch bearer of the DeMott family

The more I view confessionals, the more I fear that Scott literally is going to get dragged to the final...

Jesse Smith @ 19/8/2016 18:08

Miller: "I think Nick has a good fan base" If Nick is fan fav, I'll be shocked tbh

This thread is now dedicated to Jesse Smith reaction gifs when he realizes after the game he needs to jump on the nickposting bandwagon and accept Nick DeMott as his lord and saviour.
