Was hoping Daniel would stay. Big Bummer. Interesting strategy from Chanelle to vote for Mike. Kind of makes sense for if Dan played his shot in the dark, and they had all voted for him, but still was probably not worth the risk. Kind of surprised the others didn’t make a bigger deal about it.

Also not sure I loved Mike’s idea to say his phrase. I think it was a more interesting strategy not too.

Decent episode, hoping they change up the merge twist from last season but we’ll see.

Also Mike saying his phrase like 4 times and being super awkward about it was pretty funny.

Also Rocksroy and Lydia being so awkward with eachother was funny too

Good article by Daniel. Gave a little more clarity on why he felt so betrayed during the Jenny boot.

- Mike and Chanelle basically backed off and sat on their hands during the rock draw segment when Daniel was expecting them to try to help back him up. Daniel was being painted as the bad guy for not going to rocks for Jenny even though Mike and Chanelle didn’t say “Hey Daniel, we want Jenny to stay, we support you going to rocks to save her.”

- Chanelle and Daniel made an agreement before the challenge not to risk their votes and lo and behold
