Jesse voted out, what a heart wrenching vote. I loved the friendship that he and Miller developled throughout this season and this whole round was just hard to watch. I am so proud of Jesse for fighting until the very end and he's not stopping there, he has joined jury chat and started talked right away.

(On a personal note I really do hope that Jesse doesn't cut ties with friends he's made in the game over this. I've been in that spot and I know how hard it is but I never ever want to see friendships destroyed over a game. </3 )

Scully's comment at the end is perfect.

[7:42:48 PM] Jesse: Hi babes!
[7:44:18 PM] scott: Good game!
[7:44:24 PM] Jesse: Thanks
[7:44:25 PM] Jesse: Jsyk
[7:44:28 PM] Jesse: Miller was lying to you
[7:44:31 PM] Jesse: About me shit talking you
[7:44:32 PM] Jesse: LOL
[7:44:53 PM] Jesse: He did it to win over your jury vote
[7:51:54 PM] Jesse: Also
[7:52:03 PM] Jesse: To anyone who watched tribal
[7:52:07 PM] Jesse: I didn’t lie
[7:52:18 PM] Jesse: Miller really did tell me about their final 3
[7:52:36 PM] Scully: did watch
[7:52:48 PM] Scully: first reaction was knee-jerk "no way someone would say something that stupid"
[7:52:49 PM] Jesse: Miller is lying to Kate and Nick about telling me I think
[7:52:57 PM] Jesse: I swear on my life he told me several times
[7:53:00 PM] Scully: but this game has been literally filled with "no way someone would say something that stupid" AND YET...
[7:53:05 PM] Scully: so I'd believe it.
[7:53:10 PM] Jesse: and thats why he flipped at 8
[7:53:15 PM] Jesse: cuz he thought I was flipping at 7
[7:53:47 PM] Jesse: Idk I have a lot of things to say about Miller atm but its all in the heat of the moment and I don’t wanna be that trashy ;)
[7:56:13 PM] Scully: you a classy bitch.

I really feel like Kate is in a similar position I was last season. Is the key to winning this game making a final 2 with Miller??

Sorry in advance for my long rant -

I know Miller isn't going to roll over and die in the game. He has talked about how he needs to rake in immunity wins these last few rounds to build up his resume if he makes it to the end. He thinks that against Kate he will get some votes (3 is what I think his confessional said) but he doesn't think he can win against her at this point. Building up his resume with immunity wins on top of what he's done so far could get him a another vote or two. Last seasons FTC trauma has been resonating in his head all season and I think he knows what he needs to do differently should he make it to FTC again.

I don't see him making it to FTC and just throwing everything away to give Kate the win. He's just seeing what we all see in that right now she pretty much has the win if she makes it to the end with no one wanting to make a move against her. He won't make a move against her because she is his number one ally. He's made things difficult for himself by the way he's managed some of the jury members going out of the game. Jesse is definitely not happy with Miller and I am sure he is going to let the jury know all about his journey. Regardless to what placement he gets, Miller is going to have to turn up the charm and do a lot of explaining for why he had to do things in the game to get to whatever point he makes it.

Miller is someone who I have become very close with not only as my #1 last season but as a one of my closest ORG friends outside the game. I know that friendships mean the world to him and friendships he built in the game were not made to advance him in the game. I have had to watch him go against the kind of game he wanted to play (a loyal and honest game). Lying to keep his core alliance safe has been something he's had to do to and I know it's taken a toll on him. As my friend I am proud to see him overcome the obstacles he's encountered (or made for himself) in this game and I've seen him grow as a player. What he posts in confessionals may come off as defeat but he's never been one to just spill everything that's on his mind.

Of course this is my opinion and I am slightly biased because this is someone I love and care about <3

Vic realizing he's going to have to complete a slider.

I can completely relate!

RE: Jens Miller rant I mean he literally put in his confessional that he's okay with just fighting for second. So I'm not reading into him as a person or him as a friend or anything from last season. He flat out said that he's okay with 2nd and that's not showing the fight that you might see in private and it's not what players who were eliminated previously are going to like seeing after they get access to the boards.

I completely understand that, I wish he would put more of his thought process into his confessionals too!

Miller's turn...

Last season for this comp Miller didn't want to win so he told me he threw it but still managed second. I was still blown away at the memory ninja that came out to do this one. I'm super proud and very impressed, he killed this challenge and finally has an individual immunity to add to his resume for the season. Personally I'd like to see him make it to FTC and earn his redemption from last seasons FTC but just making it there twice.... That alone would be an amazing accomplishment. I can't express enough how proud I am to see him making it to final 5 and a good possibility of at least matching his placement of last season. If he makes final 3 with his final 3 alliance for a second time too... omg!!

I'd like to hear the jury do something like the RoP, they don't have anyone to impress so I feel their thoughts would be more honest.

Depending on what time these 5 do RoP tonight I'll try to do live feeds for it.

Jesse told me that if Miller makes the end, he still has his vote

Miller doesn't think there is a chance he has Jesse's vote so this will surprise him should he make it there. I am also pretty confident Scott will vote Miller if he's at ftc too.
