All this emphasis on making the jury has to be a financial motivation.  Do they get paid a bonus to be on the jury?  Is the resort life that good for a few days?  Lot of crying but then again, these younger folks tend to cry over all kinds of shit.

I’m sure financial plays a part but think narcissism is the main driver as it is with most this generation.0

That was a helluva "advantage" that Sol found.

Why are you putting advantage in quotes?

[Knoxtnhorn 5928]

I can't find anything on the financial incentive of making the jury.  I do believe I saw that the payouts step up each time.  Perhaps there's, say, a $10 jump from the last one out to the first one in on the jury???  It could also just be that you've spend a couple of weeks suffering, playing, and getting to know people.  You might really want to have a hand in selecting the ultimate winner.

Advantage just seemed like an understatement to me.  It completely changed the game.

took out one of the major players last night.  their other choices were excellent also - sam or the rachel.   andy is one of the most interesting players in a while.  not sure what to make of him.  he was so in his own head he walked by 10-20 bamboo tubes without seeing them.  to be aware enough to know he was being used by sierra and sam was wise though.

my bottom four - little to no shot:  andy, teeny, sue, gabe.

From my sofa, Sierra had very little power after the merge, but it's always a good idea to break up couples.

Sue is far and away the weakest player thus far, and the only one I can't see winning it all.  She is a good bet to make the final 3 for that reason.  Andy is a hard read because of his personality, but he is playing, and I hope he keeps his demons at bay so it continues.  Gabe is someone who needs to make some things happen, but I need convincing that he is capable of doing that.  Teeny is not in my bottom four, but if she belongs there, it's only because this is the deepest season of strong players that I have ever seen.

For me, Rachel, Caroline, and Genevieve are at the top, with Sol and Teeny not far behind.  My worry for Sol is that he clearly has a thing for Rachel, and it may impact his game.

Kyle is a challenge whore, but it's not clear whether he has a social game.  We likely won't have the chance to find out, as he is probably gone if he ever loses an immunity challenge.  In that scenario, he could end up being a swing vote for someone in an "anything to stay in the game" type of deal.

Sam is an unknown quantity at this point.  Does he have any game without Sierra calling the shots?  Time will tell.  I would love to see Andy use him as a number until it no longer suits him.

Meant to type $10k.  

Just caught up.  Sorry to see a hottie go.  Kind of pulling for Rachel at this point.  Where the hell did they find a hillbilly (Kyle) vegan?

Solid episode.  Rachel is on a hot streak right now.  Sol saves her, cheeseburger in the auction and gets an immunity idol to boot.  Nice work, girl keep it up. 

[TrashMaster G 17379]

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Damn them for getting rid of the best eye candy.

Rooting for Kyle to win the whole thing.

she came very close to winning immunity in the challenge too. still too much of a target on her back though.  for some reason they others seemed to be threatened by them.

kyle seems like a good dude, so would love this, but nice guys dont usually win this.  kind of reminds me of hunter from last season.   i'm betting on genevieve although she might be strategizing a little too hard.  maybe take a backseat and let someone else orchestrate the next few votes.

I like Caroline to take out Genevieve at some point, but we'll see if they both are still in the game after Rachel uses her idol.

Kyle is gonna have to go on an Ozzy like immunity run to stay in the game.
