It'd be the lamest end to his story

I think it's perf. This is Brice's MO. Zero self-assessment or self-improvement. Everything in the game is the way that it is and to try to find that extra gear to be really good is too hard and stressful to consider. It's why he's had shit jury management and hasn't done anything to address it. It's why he rhetorically asks us "What more can I do right?" instead of actually sitting down and thinking about what else he needs to do right. For the first time in the last round and a half, we've seen the going get tough for Brice. Monica faced overwhelming odds and she buckled down and came up with a plan to try to make the end (other than, y'know, just win everything). Rodney's been faced with the same challenges, and it's just made him determined. When the game was on Easy Mode for Brice and his alliance, he was the cockiest fucker in the world; you'd think he'd invented ORGs. Now that it's time for him to actually show some grit, he's folding like an accordion.

Granted it's just a game, and maybe he doesn't WANT to find that extra gear in himself, but ... yeah.

God, you're so brilliant.

5/5

ily mon

Padilla will always be #2 to you bby grl

Riddle me this. Why does no one want to vote Rodney? Last round both Vytas/Monica voted Mookie. Now Brice is voting Mookie?

It makes no sense.

Can you make any narrative for Mookie?

Well said Caryn.

mookie a shit

Yeah, holy shit was that spot on Caryn. GJ. I feel so enlightened.

Assuming Brice ends up leaving.

Rodney - Brice, Lue, Vytas, ?Carolyn?, Lembo

Monica - Amber, Ami, Colton, Sherri, JT


One of those votes could fly Mookie's way. Either way it could be a very competitive final tribal council.

Monica has been soooo very good at turning the Jury against Pussah Patrol. Brice wants to poison the Jury against her, so Monica getting ahead of it and calling it out at Tribal Council where the Jury can see is great. And calling him out for making a mistake last round by not siding with her and Vytas. She's doing a great job

Monica is really taking the game by the horns, even if she would have got voted off if she dropped an immunity she's selling as her having control. It's a good narrative tbh, she looks like the one driving the move on brice because she has immunity and the whole poisoning the jury thing only makes her look better.

Ya this is a route that is kind of a hail-mary in ORGs. She is playing the emotional card. She is vilifying the other three. Usually these games have less emotional and more strategic based jurors but she's playing the vote for me because I am not an asshole card and I think it could work.

Marvelous job on her end. She's not pretending to have played the puppet master, she is embracing the game that she's played and has a pretty good shot.

As much as I would have loved Brice in the FTC, I think this kind of showed how it would be. He would face a couple hard questions and just give up. It is a shame, I could have seen a situation where Monica would consider it if he pushed hard enough to force a tie. As she said she could careless which of the three of them left, and in theory if Mookie left (i.e she ties it with Brice), Brice and Rodney would split any anti-Monica votes. Kind of disappointing he gave up and I hope he doesn't get too discouraged when he reads this because he seems like a nice enough guy... just a frusterating character to watch

She did it so succinctly, as well. What a killer moment.
