Rest In Peace Ceejae.

You didn't leave for the reason you think you did, but I love you anyway. I hope you had some semblance of fun <3

Alejandro is quickly dropping down my ranking. The immunity has gone sooooo to his head

It seems like Danny is the sole reason Lexi isn't going tonight. Seriously impressed with Danny.

Jess identified that he would flip out if they voted Lexi, and keeping Danni from freaking out is apparently a primary directive for her?

Watching Bryce's Confessional - I seriously love him. I think he has an excellent shot to go the distance in this game, and could definitely see him as a legitimate threat to win. He considers all options, everyone loves him. He is so incredibly endearing.

I think crediting Danny for Lexi not going home isn't like.. really due to his "astute" gameplay, so much as potential swap management. I feel like it's really clear to tell he would throw a giant tantrum if things didn't go his way and making him think he's in charge by letting the inoffensive person go in Amby is.. generally more what it's about aha.

Agree and disagree - He has connected himself well enough that people don't want him out....but are simultaneously super concerned about his feelings going into a swap. That is extremely solid play, even if somewhat accidental. He is super connected and people HAVE to play around him because of it.

I think Aaron is a bigger factor than people are saying; I've been added to a few of his calls and he is working really hard to build bonds with Jess and Devon in particular. I don't think he's just another spoke on the wheel, but I could be unaware since I'm not paying as much attention to Jess/Devon confessionals. He's logging in HOURS doing one-on-ones or group calls with Jess and/or Devon right now -- he's putting in the time right now and not making as many waves and for a guy like Aaron who has a reputation? I think that's a good thing for him.

Somewhat agreed. The thing is though...Devon doesn't super love him. If Jess wasn't an obstacle Aaron would be leaving. He IS putting in work, but people like Danny/Devon are intimidated by how "good they think he is". I don't think its as much an indictment on Aaron's commitment - he is just on a strong tribe who have some Regicidal qualities and see him as the king.

I think Jess is making a smart move in one aspect and not in another way. I think that by not burning Danny, he’ll be more calm and loyal going into a potential swap. BUT that being said Amberly is loyal towards Jess it seems and Lexi isn’t so that could potentially burn her down the line if say Jess ends up with only Lexi from her tribe in a swap

Lexi mentioned that her #1 is jess, did she not?

Abby referring to Matt as dead weight in the challenge is EXTREMELY strange. Him and Jack are absolutely the key reason this tribe has dominated the last two challenges - no idea how Matt has managed to put in literal insanely good performances and somehow be seen as weak in challenges by Abby?
