Can’t watch live tonight sadly :(

Kind of perfect ending for Rome. Showed how unaware he was in the game. Glad he made the merge though. Him sitting on Jeff’s seat was so extra, knowing he was going home made it feel like it was a Make a Wish thing.

Mergeatory twist was fine, kind of silly they hyped it up as this crazy thing “we are going back to the way survivor used to be”. The challenge was fun so glad that stayed. The fact they announced it was a school yard pick and then didn’t even mention how the division went was so frustrating. You’ve got 90 minutes, but it in there for 30 seconds.

Andy is right next to Sol as my favorite. Really enjoy his confessionals and newfound cockiness. Interested to see how he reacts to being the “back up boot” especially being betrayed by both Sam/Sierra and his amulet buddies. Speaking of which, what was everyone thoughts on how they treated the amulet? I thought it made a lot of sense. Only going to add to your target, especially with Teeny/Caroline who probably aren’t targets otherwise

Classssssic episode, a shame I couldn’t watch live. Very glad I wasn’t spoiled, though Rome being the first ‘merge’ boot is maybe the most predictable thing ever. I can’t believe his edit was building up to an Amazon Roger boot with all votes revealed and absolutely no attempt at making us think there’s an alternative result. That’s so funny, I’m glad they don’t overdo that and use it wisely and rarely. Wasn’t there one a few seasons ago though or am I misremembering?

Who tf put Rome and Gabe together on the maze lol, they were so bad

I’m so glad Sol got the last laugh over Rome. His face was priceless the whole episode. Funny that he didn’t even get to vote for him

Rome is a disaster but is a good sport at least. That episode must’ve been tough to watch lol. A 90 minute mockery

I loved Andy’s German voting confessional and him talking about how fun it was to blindside Anika. He’s so funny

I would’ve loved to see Rome go deeper though, he was such a disaster. Kyle getting so pissed off was funny, I loved Kyle this episode. The way he talks is hilarious. Rome said in some interviews yesterday that Kyle said some personal shit about Sue and Sierra that would’ve got Rome cancelled if he had said it though, so that’s not great! Wonder what it was/wonder if Rome is being Rome. I guess I wouldn’t be surprised either way since Kyle’s a good ole country boy after all, but he seems like a nice fellow so I hope it was nothing bad

And yeah, the big twist being that they’re doing a…regular merge was so stupid. I’m glad they did it though. It’s so funny that they tried to build up how intense it was to just win a regular first merge immunity challenge. Pretty silly. “There are TWELVE of us vulnerable and only ONE person safe this is unprecedented!!” So glad they moved on from their new traditional mergatory though
