I’m stunned

My jaw dropped when I saw that Morgan vote. Devastated really. I was really wanting her to go deep. I usually don't enjoy too many female players overall, but I was really liking her.

James' play was so good though. He surprised me this episode. But I agree with Jake that it was weird James believed Dom was voting Angela but also didn't want to vote him in case he played the idol.

That swap is a tricky spot, honestly. You don't want to go to rocks, but you know when Chris comes back he will be turning on Dom. So what do you do? I think purple was screwed regardless. If they were going to vote someone out, the smartest thing may have been to vote out Dom and try to reel Chris and Angela back in against the Mololo.

But it's like no matter who you target, Morgan/Wendell/Dom were in a bad spot. Chris going to GI really screwed them.

Also, I hate that production does this separate baskets and choice of split for the game. They want it to be 5-4. Maybe for closer numbers? But I loved when the minority tribe would randomly get numbers on a new tribe and then still screw it up

It's almost like the minority tribe gets punished harder in the swap unless they can make something happen. I don't know. It bugs me they don't let it happen naturally.

NuNaviti - more people I like on here, I think. The new purple tribe has a lot of underedited people so it's hard to know who they are right now.

Morgan > Libby - Libby is ok. She seems smart enough and this episode has me a bit higher on her, but I really, really liked Morgan. Shocked she didn't anticipate this. She seemed a little over the top happy this episode though, but other than that, I thought she could have been a really great player.

Wendell > Domenick - Honestly, Wendell has been pretty non-existent. You can tell he's a calm and collected dude though, but I don't think he's as game savvy as I felt he would be going in. I still like him more than Dom though. Dom is an idiot.


James > Donathan - 100%. Don was not a part of this episode at all which I thought was odd. But he clearly has no strategic chops. This was James' episode and he surprised me a bit. I didn't think he had that in him.

Angela > Chris - Tough because I don't enjoy either. But I felt for Angela this episode. This reminds me of something I would do where I would decide to stick with my tribe but they would all plot to get rid of me and I would have no idea. Sad to say, but I'm sure it's happened before. Chris is the douchey dude I would be immediately off put by if we were playing the game together.

Kellyn > Des - I expected Des to be a bigger personality. It's ok she's sitting back though because she's been winning, but I don't know anything about her. Kellyn was a little too bold and forward in her strategy this episode. That isn't a great way to play the game, as if you're untouchable and on top, but she seems smart enough and she's been great in challenges which is good. She was a pre-game favorite.

Stephanie > Jenna - Jenna is sweet, but she's been more back seat. I think she'll be a bit more prominent in the future, but for now Steph is front and center as the female strategist this season. She's kinda annoying, but I'm enjoying her anyway.

Brendan > Michael - Both are boring, but Brendan has surprised me with reads so far. Michael is just there. Bummed he found the idol, but oh well.

Bradley > Seb - Even though Bradley was super whiney this episode (wonder why they showed us that so much), I still think Bradley is a player and Seb is just dumb. I'm not a Seb fan and I think Bradley has a lot to offer the game.

Laurel > Chelsea - Either or, but I think Laurel looked a lot more promising pre-game. I think I'm just relieved to know edit wise that at this point, no chance for a Chelsea win.

Good move - I honestly don't know. I think it was a good move to have full power. Chris and Angela will stick with Mololo moving forward which I think in the long run is great for future swap or merge. Bad move getting Morgan instead of Dom though. That made no sense. It would have been AMAZING to see Dom go here. But the Chris/Dom feud will continue to be fun, though I feel like it will result in Chris going instead of Dom next episode.
