Vecher talking about taking bout Jayden. Utren (Jenn Joey and Gibson) thinking it’d be smarter to target Dustin and eliminate Jayden’s closest connection to vecher... Gibson thinks Kurtis and Mike would be on board for this Dustin vote

RIP Cameron - oh I mean Dustin...

Joey informed me that he is in a new alliance with Jenn, Jay, and Alex with the goal of getting out Jayden but if he wins immunity, taking out Dustin which is actually what he wants more at this point but he isnt going to push it. He has done a lot of work with Jenn to make sure they werent just the next two to go and I really hope he gets the credit he deserves, assuming he pulls it off.

He also seems to think that Jayden/Dustin will target Jay if he isnt safe over him and Jenn which is also major.

Also, can we get a round of applause for Gibson getting Blinding Light immunity the round after he pulled off arguably the biggest move in the game so far? So impressed.

I guess I just don’t see Vecher putting themselves in a minority situation by compromising to take out Dustin. Dustin told Jay about Jayden wanting him out, and is on board to take out Jayden. Ultimately I see Jenn/Joey conceding and taking out Jayden, with the hopes that Dustin goes the round after (which I see happening 100%).

I don't think the lines are as simple as Vecher vs Utren anymore so that logic really can't be applied as much. I think that it would be smarter for Joey/Jenn to use that distrust of Dustin to their advantage and try to get numbers on their side. However I agree with Joey not putting his neck out there to make it happen. I think if Jayden wins immunity that'd be the time to make that push

It's entertaining to watch, but I just hate to see the big players targeting each other so aggressively, instead of working together for a few rounds. We're destined for an Alex/Mike F2...

Jayden has been so fun to watch, but it sounds like he could very well go this round. Wish he could have gotten off the radar a bit this round and not tried to play the middle so hard. Alas.

And if Jayden goes, I feel like the 5 Vechers remaining could band together for a couple of votes and take out people like Jenn/Gibby...or maybe even Harrison for lack of connections.

Sidenote: I'm curious to see if the majority rules answers cause some people to start playing harder and trying to pad their resumés so they actually have a chance to win...

Or if it just causes the people like Mike/Alex/Harrison, who people believe have no chance to win and will get zero votes and are goats, to band together realizing they can only win against each other in the end...

And also: Jay would be an awesome winner for this season. I just feel like he's been willing to take risks and put himself out there--he's always scheming and plotting. I guess you could say Jay has been willing to put himself in the LIGHT more than most...so he would be a cool thematic winner too.

Jayden has done so as well, but perhaps hasn't been as sharp or nuanced in gameplay as Jay.

Mike sent this in his production chat after the answers to the majority rules were revealed:

[6/5/18, 8:38:24 PM] Michael Allbright: Well from those results I guess it is time to start blindsiding everybody so they can eat their opinions.

He seemed pretty annoyed about it on call with some of them too. I think this could be a wakeup for him.

Alex is thinking. Alex has potential to make something happen eventually. I hope he surprises us.

I'm reallllllly hoping this wakes Mike up a little and he starts making some big moves like he said in his confessional

I think Alex has been underrated and kind of cast off because his personal life didn’t allow him as much availability in earlier challenges, but socially he’s done a good job of integrating himself, he’s not one of the top dogs so not a threat to boot this early in merge, if he pads his resume a bit, I could easily see him getting to the end and swaying the jury- he’s pretty well spoken too. Alex is probably my current dark horse winner pick

I meant to put this earlier and got distracted, but I think the most likely winner based on how the game is going and current position is Kurtis. He's actually been one of the most backstabby players but hasn't really gotten caught, he is one of the reasons why Alex didn't get BL this round but didn't take the fall, he's gotten into situations and out of situations brilliantly and he's pretty well in tune with what is going on and where he stands. He has done a good job of giving just enough information to build trust with people and put himself into a decent spot. People know he's a threat but they're also not really considering targeting him.

I think Jenn Joey and Gibson might be planning on voting Dustin
