I missed the first part of the show tonight. What was Lauren doing at the Tribal vote? Why wasn't she voting and what was the slip of paper she put into the urn instead of voting the first time?

Basically she could not vote this week in exchange for an extra vote next week.

Cole really sucks at playing survivor.

Well that sucked. I really liked her.

 

I agree. I liked Desi also. Why not vote out Joe when they had the chance? They knew he didn't have an idol. But, I missed the first part of the show so I didn't see the strategy in the votes.

So were they one vote short at Tribal? Won't the other players count votes and figure out Lauren didn't vote?

Apparently they don't know how to count.

I thought they would flip the votes to Joe during the revote.

That is what seemed strange to me.

They can count the votes and the look that Joe gave makes me believe that he figured out there was a vote missing but they won't know who didn't vote.

I'd be shocked if they are all too stupid to figure out that one less vote was cast last tribal. I know it's hard to say what I would do in the moment but I feel like I would be constantly running numbers in my head and would have realized instantly that there was one less vote than there should have been. Maybe Joe did realize it, but I think I would have spoke up and asked, "hey Jeff did you skip a vote somewhere?"

Definitely would’ve placed myself ahead of Cole at the spaghetti dinner – it looked so nasty at the end. Surprised no one thought to hide the dish but Ryan. Ryan also was flawless with the idol at the well.

And yet it looks like next week he's going to be stupid and flap his gums to everyone about it. Has Dr. Mike told anyone he has an idol?

I watched the show with my wife again tonight because she missed it last night. They were not short one vote, the producers must have inserted a vote for someone that they knew would not impact the vote. There were 11 votes and 11 people.

The one vote for Lauren.

Was out of the country and caught up on Survivor last night.

 

Cole is an idiot. That's all I got for now.

Very interesting. What would have happened if Lauren was the vote last night? She would have in theory voted for herself. Would they have put a fake vote in for someone else?
