Okay I have decided what I will do this round

Matthew, 1:02 PM
I will tie the vote ON DANNY with Sarena

Matthew, 1:02 PM
because my FTC matchups vs both Jess and Danny are equally garbo rn

Matthew, 1:02 PM
IMO 6-3 losses

Matthew, 1:02 PM
both match-ups range from 5-4 wins to 6-3 losses for me, based on my current assessments

Matthew, 1:03 PM
And I have 0 fucking read on what Naomi/Alex will do, so I'm going to assume "win both of them" is unlikely

Matthew, 1:03 PM
Against Sarena, on the other hand, I have a a 4-5 vote floor

Matthew, 1:03 PM
with a lot of upside

Matthew, 1:04 PM
So I can't let Sarena go home here uncontested because:

1) She's still my best FTC matchup
2) If I don't vote with her here, she definitely doesn't vote for me at FTC. If I tie the vote on Danny or Jess with her, then that definitely goes to a maybe

Matthew, 1:04 PM
And with Abby and Lexi both being definitely votes against me, and Jess and Danny being likely votes for each other if both aren't at FTC

Matthew, 1:05 PM
the room I have to operate in is very limited if Sarena is also a vote against me

Matthew, 1:05 PM
which she's told me to my face will be the case

Matthew, 1:05 PM
God I really bungled this one the past few rounds

Regarding Matt's commentary above:

1) He has a really bad read on the jury other than knowing Lexi and Abby don't like him.

2) I don't know where he's getting these vote numbers for but again, see #1.

3) WHY IS HE STILL NOT CONSIDERING VOTING OUT JESSACA?! WHAT EVEN

I'd love to see how Matt pitches himself in the end

MATT DANNY FINAL 2 PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE

ned s
jess is surely the best survivor player i have ever seen

it's absolutely ridiculous at this point that she's still here, taking the piss


Ashlee, 6:17 PM
I mean the only reason she's here is bc matt was an idiot the round chris left

like it says more about him being dumb than it does about her that round

the rest of the game, I think she played strongly but without jury management in mind

6:18 PM
Making people act against their own interest is a top tier skill though

Ashlee, 6:19 PM
lol I mean I guess she confused him enough to forget it was his plan? idk it's hard to assign credit for that

6:19 PM
Well I mean like
Effectively what she did is
Make him not trust bryce
Sure it was for ??? Reasons a bit, but I think it's less "Matt forgot" and more "Matt realized Bryce was gambling with his life"

Ashlee, 6:20 PM
but it was matt's plan lol

6:20 PM
Yea

Ashlee, 6:20 PM
like matt was gambling with his own life

and I do give jess credit in making matt feel it was Bryce

6:20 PM
Jess made Matt feel like Bryce had taken advantage of him in that way
Like it's weird

Ashlee, 6:21 PM
but like it was still matt being an idiot in forgetting what he told bryce

6:21 PM
But it's equally good Jess bad Matt, I think

Ashlee, 6:21 PM
like any sane person would have been like "oh ya Bryce said this bc I told him to"

but matt had stroked his own ego so much that he was like "WHAT BRYCE IS AFTER ME??? HOW DARE HE"


Ned, 6:22 PM
and yep now matt's gonna save her AGAIN and not vote her out here

i actually guess the sticking her neck out for matt on Lachesis really paid off in the end lmao


Ashlee, 6:23 PM
lol I guess so

its just so funny how he's being so loyal to her even tho he says I NEED TO CUT HER but like claims Bryce was his closest ally and screwed him over

closest friend or ally or whatever


Vic, 6:24 PM
I think jess is a great player but she's definitely had some help this season


Ashlee, 6:25 PM
I think Jess' recovery on Clotho was brilliant tho


Ned, 6:25 PM
yeah everyone has greatly mishandled her obv


Ashlee, 6:25 PM
like hands down one of the best moves I saw this season was her recovery there

rip devon tho

I mean would it even be Endure: Somnium at this point if a round didn't feature Matthew making the wrong move and someone inexplicably not targeting Jessaca? This is our bread and butter here lol. 💖

From everything I've seen in the jury lounge, Sarena has a ton of fans and would easily be Matthew's hardest challenge to beat. He needs to blindside Jessaca & get those jury brownie points and take Danny to the end imo.

Very true, Matt will end up doing something to make it a 2-1-1 or 3-1 or something and still not target Jess, that sounds right, oh and he will say something about how the challenge is his to win, then flop

If Matt finds a way to win a season of Endure then it should’ve been Penumbra cause that shit needs to stay in the dark.

I hope Jess wins if she makes it to the end. I don’t know the exact details of her game but it seems pretty obvious she’s played the best from what I’ve seen. Just the fact that she didn’t have to play her idol until F5 when everyone knew she had one since the start of the merge, is just so mind boggling for me to understand. The easiest thing for someone with an exposed idol to do is just waste it in fear of people trying to flushing it out. Mad respects for her for being ballzy af.

Rankings in order of who id like to see win

1) Jess
2) sarena
3) matt- idk if he’s been doing it on purpose, but this guy has been such a character
4) Danny

Nick DeMott finally has a forever friend in the Maze :') <3

Also because this season in my opinion is the best Endure season yet, here's my personal top 5 rankings of episodes (as if this is a TV show I am a fucking loser please send help or friends whatever you can find first):

#5 Finale (winner TBD)
This has been such a strong cast and with a devoted and invested Jury, the final tribal will be a fun one to watch. There's a lot of different perspectives and agendas on this jury and there will be fireworks no matter who is in the finale. All four of these finalists have brought something different to the game and are extremely strong as characters and to have one last glimpse of such an amazing cast -- it's going to be a memorable episode regardless.

#4 Bad Player (Chris boot)
The perfect plan gone wrong. Jess doesn't play the idol. The Jessfather almost got snuffed. Matt's face. The anger and frustration, the shock and relief of Jess (and Danny to an extent). The perfect plan gone wrong... because Matt forgot his own plan. It couldn't be written any better.

#3 Even-Numbered Rounds (Naomi boot -- rocks)
Another shot at Jessfather. Two sides that don't budge wind up in a dramatic rock draw that sees fan favourite Naomi tragically taken out of the game. The entire episode leads to Matt vs Sarena and a fan favourite has blood spritzing out of their throat like this shit be Game of Thrones. Add on Naomi's beautiful precious lil angel exit speech -- this episode had it all. Gameplay, drama, suspense, shock, depression, and a bittersweet yet beautiful ending.

#2 These Colours Don't Bleed (Jack/Jenn/Devon "boot" -- Jenn boot -- swap/twist)
This ranks so high due to the swap itself. Jack's fantasy land comes crumbling down. JESSFATHER. That's all I can fucking say. After Devon gets a one up on her; the only one up on her in the game thus far (could change in the finale), Jess socially manipulates her way back on the top of the totem pole, queen stays queen, jessfather, etc, and slays the man who took the first shot... or just sends him to Meleager which is a fate worse than death anyways. The Meleager twist is revealed sending the new Meleager tribe into having some weird initial dynamics, and it all ends with an iconic Jenn boot who sips her beer on outta here. Fucking awesome. Also it was the end of Kait and Abby which is that sad emotional lil tear jerker moment f for respects :'(.

#1 Battle Fur Survival (Aaron boot/...furries)
A furry board saves Atropos. Anders is the character star of this episode, what a fucking moment that's pretty much been as relevant now as in Episode 3 in terms of memes, etc. I don't have to say much more about the challenge. Aaron fucks himself over by being too confident when it was his little bit of work which would have changed his own fortunes. Jessfather gets blindsided and the clusterfuck of Lexi, Devon, and Danny trying to tell her 5 minutes before the vote which led to a Jess redemption arc that lasted all of 24 hours lmao. The perfect episode, with a perfect ending and endless entertainment and drama inbetween.

I'd love to hear your top 5 if you're lame like me k luv u!

Was dustin actually worse than Anders? I can't fathom anything worse than he's being tbh

Daniel Kilby @ 16/12/2018 15:16

Was dustin actually worse than Anders? I can't fathom anything worse than he's being tbh

He's pissed off almost every other juror at this point too, it's so bad. I'm dreading the Jury Roundtable just because I know that Anders is just going to be the loudest voice in the room and talk over the rest of the jury. He's still trying to manipulate the other jurors to be anti-Jessaca, and I feel pretty confident in saying that it's for attention at this point. He's terrified of not being relevant to the season so if he can be the one to cost Jessaca the jury vote it'll make him feel like he mattered.

Bryce is also seemingly really pissed at Jessaca too, obviously not to the extent of Anders though. He's convinced she made a bad call in voting out him, the person who will sweep a jury vote; over Danny who is literally playing to get Jessaca to win per his latest confessionals. He's only just gotten to jury now though so he might just be going through the motions.

Shoutout to Chris, Naomi & Alejandro for being beacons of light in the jury house. They're all awesome.

Yeah I kinda don't want to host it just because Anders is the worst lol. He doesn't seem to be able to listen at all
