Agreed. Sarah made another text book Survivor mistake - she got too bossy and arrogant. The next one to go because of arrogance is Kass.

 

Not too often that the "swing vote" is the one that gets voted off in that episode. Kass might stick around a little while now and just get voted out sixth.

I'm not really sure why LJ played the idol for Tony when it was pretty clear they switched their votes off of Tony. IF he was going to play it at all the smart thing would have been to pick someone else he thought might have been a target in the alliance.

 

Either way, very fun tribal.

 

I'm going to be honest, I'm actually coming around on Tony. Have to look past his arrogance a little but I'm starting to think he's just a guy who is a) geeked to be on Survivor and b) looking to have fun and PLAY the game...

I like Tony but I was laughing out loud when the votes were read and it was Jefra and Sarah read off first. They just knew they had won that battle and when they realized they were wrong they were in shock and I died. Dummies. Never assume anything in Survivor. Had they voted off Jefra I'd have really been laughing.

The sad part is that had Kass just lied and said she didn't flip either instead of admitting it with silence she could have really wreaked some havoc. Now like Spencer said, she has zero chance to win the game. When you get caught flipping on your alliance.....that's it. Game over.

Kass is just continuing the underlying theme of this season:

 

Probst and crew picked the dumbest group of "Brains" in America.

But did they? Seems to me like the most intelligent people I've met, just don't have the street smarts and social side of things to be good at a game like Survivor. For example, Kass was probably locked in a lab throughout college and continued to be since she got into the "real world".

STRONGLY disagree. If I'm naming the five smartest people I know, three of them would absolutely dominate at Survivor. One would struggle, but it would be due to physical reasons not street smarts/social skills. The 5th would just struggle on every aspect.

She's an attorney, I would doubt this.

Is there a difference between being smart vs. intelligence? I somewhat feel like there is.

Is she? Shows how much I pay attention haha! Throw everything I just said out the window. I wonder what type of law she practices.

I knew Sarah's "I have all the power" trip would backfire on her and I couldn't be happier. She annoyed me to no end.

True, not a smart move by LJ for a couple reasons. One, if Tony is gone, so what. Two, no one knows you have an idol and that is money. Three, if he is going to play it, why waste it on Tony? However, I think Jefra is the last one they expected to be targeted. That was a very good move by the "brains" team until Kass got lawyery and blew it.

Agree except for the bold. Tony leaving puts his alliance in a weak position numbers-wise.

Producers did a good job hiding the "Brains" plan. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they played purposely to try and bait Tony into giving away some evidence that he had the idol (then he actually showed it). And if he did they would act like that meant LJ would be voted for, knowing the whole time they were going Jefra.

 

Maybe I'm just bored and thinking too hard.

That makes sense. They have a good 4-5 hours at least before Tribal Council. We get to see an edited 10 minute version fo everything that went down before Tribal Council.

I must have very different taste than you all. Because I think Jefra is absolutely more attractive than Morgan and has what I would imagine a better looking chest without the bathing suit top.

 

I'm just referring the her personal flotation devices. Being an UK fan aside my personal tastes would lean more to Jefra.

The aftermath of Kass' move should be interesting in tonight's episode. Such a dumb move, but I'm glad she made it.
