Naomi has been and is a dear dear friend of mine, and I was rooting for her throughout the game -- i always watched her videos first. I'm very sad for her, and I know she's sadder and crying right now. I think we can all agree that whatever game she played (and it had excellent moments like her crushing the Maleager tribe) we've all recognised like how amazing how personality is. And therefore the game is luckier for having had her, and I'm sure she'll be friends with all the people after. Naomi, what an awful way to go. I love you.
Important update, considering Jessaca also goes by Jess -- we are at a 3/7 odds of the four letter named winner...
...
we are at 5/7 odds for the one syllable named winner streak continuing (counting Jessaca as Jess)
So unlucky for Naomi. She will be missed a lot. I can't believe they actually went to rocks.
I definitely see someone flipping this round. I sense a Lexi flip. Kudos to Jess for making it through that without playing her idol. Her target just increases by the round.
This text was from Bryce to Vic after the Purple Rock tiebreaker.
Bryce seemed shockingly calm and confident in his recent confessional and seems to think that this turned out fine? Caught me really off guard because I don't see that at all. I'm expecting Matthew to be furious that Bryce & Sarena voted for him! Surely, right? Bryce is literally pitching to Matthew "Hey Matty! Just go and backstab all three people who went to rocks for you and join the three who all voted for you to leave!". If Matthew truly comes and works with Bryce after this I would be floored. Bryce is silly for thinking that this is an option. (EDIT: Nevermind, I think Matthew is whipped. I'm silly for doubting Bryce's charm).
"I didn't expect for Bryce to go to rocks for Sarena. I know he probably would have done it for me though" :)
"I knew that Bryce wasn't going to vote me out there. If he knew his vote had the power to take me out he wasn't going to do it" :)
"I love that Bryce are super tight and that we're friends" :)
... This is Stockholm Syndrome, right? Matthew came so close to being flipped on in the revote, and this is all because Sarena & Bryce were a-okay voting him out. I get that it's good strategy on Matthew's behalf to not immediately shut Bryce & Sarena out and keep them as options... but there hasn't been any kind of recognition on his behalf that like "Oh, I might be disposable to Bryce". It just feels like strong denial, but kudos to Bryce for charming Matthew this much.

But only 1/7 whose name they gave from the very beginning is a 4 letter name and that’s why Lexi is winning the season
