Gern Blanston Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Can someone explain to me what the strategy was for not one, but two people using the "shot in the dark" on the first night? Isn't that a one time thing that is no longer an option for them? And don't get me started on voting out the biggest/strongest person on the first night either...so dumb. The blonde lady seems like a bit of a whack a doodle, guessing she'll be around for awhile. The confessional part at the top of the show was interesting. Medical staff earned their pay this season...

Probably because they knew that the guy they were going to vote for had an idol and there was a chance he could use it. They had no idea who he'd be voting for so it would be completely random as to who might go home. I guess they didn't feel comfortable with that since the tribe is so small to begin with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don’t think Brandon plays his idol if one no one played a shot in the dark. I think that spooked him and caused him to play it just in case. For Jaime, I have no idea why she did it. She just seems like a jumpy player who let her paranoia get the best of her. Matthew is a far more interesting player. I think he played the Shot in the dark because he didn’t want to vote for Brandon and reveal his hand. He could play up that his injury made him nervous they’d vote him out as a liability, but by not voting he doesn’t piss off either group. If the Brandon stays, he never voted for him and they can move forward like they planned. If Brandon goes home, he can say he was going to vote for Brandon with the majority. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20Safety_Hazards Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 So it looks like Matthew did use the SITD to avoid showing his hand. Which I think was the right play. Puts Kane on the bottom and gets him tighter with Brandon. Another solid episode. The edit when everyone was "reading body language" was hysterical. Man these players are not good, but it makes for some enjoyable messy gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She didn't. Every tribe's real idol looks like the other tribe's fake idol. But I agree with your early point. I hate that Production put 3 fake idols in play. If a contestant wants to MAKE a fake idol and put it in the cage great. But this seems like forced game play from the producers to make "great moments."

Gern Blanston Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 There does seem to be a ton of idols out there particularly pre merge. What would happen in the event of a tribe of 3-4 players where everyone plays an idol? I know Cirie got booted once because she was the only one without one. Carolyn is so whacky, she equally annoys and fascinates me. The fact that they cold opened the season with her talking to the producers on camera makes me think she's going deep into this game.

FranklinFldEBUpper Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 As bizarre as she is, you gotta admit that Carolyn is certainly entertaining. And I’m almost embarrassed to admit that I’m sort of rooting for her at this point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And she’s a source of some of the best comedy on the show. Her sitting between the bromance of Danny and Brandon was hysterical! She may be getting one of the biggest story focuses on a season since Russell Hantz in Samoa, which suggests she may go very far in this game. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gern Blanston Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I wonder if it was the editing or did Justin and Yam Yam vote that way to preserve some sort of neutrality? Seemed like they were in on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed like they were in on it. Do you mean Carson? If so, 100% believe that was the play. If they were really voting with the other side they would have told them about the idol. They didn't and let it happen, because that's what they wanted to happen. Meanwhile, Carolyn voted with the minority to prevent a 3-3 vote split and to further obscure that the three of them are working together. Honestly, it was a brilliant move. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's quite skillful at reading people. Some one on reddit made a point that I think makes surprising sense. Specifically, everyone on this season seems to have terrible reads which is highlighted by how every time someone tells the truth, its immediately considered a blatant lie. Jamie lost her idol? Lie. Heidi voted for Danny? Lie. The only one who hasn't been shown to have a terrible read is Carolyn. It's usually the opposite, where she spots the B.S. a mile away. Like tonight, she sniffed out the vote against Carson very quickly. This is the point made by a redditor. Carolyn's job as a drug counselor may be the best training she could have had for this show as she may be used to people lying to her. She has one of the best B.S. radar's I've seen on this show in a while. That, coupled with her experience playing online survivor so she's familiar with the subterfuge style misdirects, she's just incredibly entuned to what is going on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gern Blanston Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Her facial expressions alone make her compelling enough that she will be a Rupert/Sandra/Boston Rob style All Star for the next decade... The remaining players best be shuffling her off to the jury pronto. I don't see any of the non Tica Tribe winning this. Its either her, Yam-Yam or Carson...
