Beyond all the shit-talk posts I wrote about Kilby (and I wrote a LOT), he succeeded in what he wanted to do this game. He wanted to be a big character and leave a lasting impact, and he really did. He was a very entertaining player and without him I don’t think Utren would have been entertaining pre-merge. Obviously we don’t know who would be in his spot instead, but he was the main catalyst for almost all of the drama on that tribe - and for that it is MUCH appreciated.
Andrew Gibson was underestimated by SO many people, including myself. This is a game-changing move that he can put on his resumé. He not only had to convince Vecher to save him (not that hard), he had to convince Kilby + Utren that he was self-voting (lol), AND had to fight off temptation to tell others on his tribe about it (Joey). Major props to him!
I agree that Jayden fucked himself hard. I think there was a chance Vecher didn’t throw him under the bus, but he did it himself. Jenn/Joey/Harrison absolutely need him, but will they stick together to try to get a Vecher out? That I don’t know. Joey can be vindictive and scrappy, so if they try going for Jayden, I can see it going through.
Kurtis’ gameplay has really been great as of late. I was really worried for him at the start of merge, but I think him figuring out that Utren can’t be immediately trusted (because of Jayden ironically, lol) made him secure his alliance with Vecher. I know Dustin trusts him A LOT, which is shocking since he has fucked Dustin over several times, thrown him under he bus and has consistently wanted him out...but Dustin really likes him so yay Kurtis!
Jay has had such an interesting story, but I think he’s going to fizzle out soon. He’s played very aggressive at merge, which is great but I do think he will end up being the first Vecher to go. Kurtis is onto him, and if Joey/Harrison/Jenn leave in the next round or 2, there won’t be numbers for Jay to flip to.
Alex has been doing exceptionally well, and I see him as a lock for at least F5. His UTR game can be changed fast if he leads the charge to get people out like Kurtis, and Utren won’t target him over Jay/Kurtis/Dustin.
Right now I see a F3 of Kurtis/Mike/Alex. But I also thought 3 rounds ago the F3 would be Jayden/Joey/Harrison. Hahaha. This game has been absolutely wild and I hope it continues!
