Thoughts about tonight's episode?

[stephm0188]

I wonder if he feels like an idiot now that he's sitting at home watching all of this.

[Deleted]

Not very surprised. But I'm really unhappy with who is left.

I feel really sorry for both Will's and Dan's wives. I can't believe that Will hasn't admitted any fault in what he said to Shirin, and last night Dan's thoughts on the subject basically sounded to me like "well, she deserved it". I can't imagine that either of those "men" treat their wives any better.

And, Dan is stupid but I don't want him to win anyway so I'm ok with that. I think Sierra is an idiot too because she's had so many chances to flip and put herself in a better position and hasn't taken any of them. I like Tyler ok but I wish they showed him more because I still feel like I barely know him.

I hate Rodney and wish they would vote him off. LOL that he thinks he's such a big threat. I don't think he can win either.

I think at this point I want Mike to win, but it feels like a very long shot. I think everyone on the jury so far will vote for him if he manages to make it, but I guess I'm not sure if anyone else who is left will.

I think Mike has a shot if Dan is butthurt enough about the vote to flip back. If he can get the four blues to vote Tyler, then he'll be in good position the rest of the game. He won't have to play his idol next time, and Caroline will be forced to play hers or risk going home once Tyler is gone.

Ideally, Mike would be sitting there at the end next to Will and Dan or Rodney. A lot has to fall into place first though.

I'm even more on Team Mike after last night. But I agree - it will be a long shot.

I just want Rodney gone! He annoys ALL the time.

And Will - I hope he sees his errors now. The whole "she deserved it" thing, I wanted to scream at the tv!

That tribal council was so amazing.

I wish I could have seen Rodney's face when he realized he was not the one "calling the shots" and actually had no idea what was happening.

[sugarbear]

Team Mike. God, I loved that tribal. I still don't understand, though, why they voted for Shirin anyway. Was it simply so that they could blame someone else in the alliance for turning?

[mlt]

Doesn't Mike have two hidden immunity idols? Or did I make that up? I thought it would have been a better tribal if he followed through. Obviously not many of the "strong six" believed him.

I was confused about that as well. Did they (correctly) assume that Mike was BSing them--that Mike would never give S his idol?

I just watched the episode.

And yes, they correctly called his bluff. Also, I don't think Mike thought they would 100% believe him (as he's already not trustworthy), but it was a way for him to stir things up to see what other names people wrote down. Obviously Tyler had to write down someone's name on the off chance that he did give Shirin the idol. Clearly the plan worked pretty well. He still has the idol and they are going to turn on each other sooner.

Yeah, I don't understand that part. Maybe they already had a plan in place just in case Mike did that? or are they allowed to talk to each other? I dont get it. 

I too, hate who is left. I never really liked Shirin but I always seem to root for the underdog on this show. Dan absolutely drives me crazy. He is so socially inept. Like when he talks I just want to punch him in the face because NO ONE takes his dramatic conversations seriously do they? He's honestly the most insincere person. 

[sugarbear]

I have to say, that while I find none of them remotely compelling, I do appreciate that Mike is trying to stir shit up, knowing full well that he's probably leaving anyway.

After last night I am team Mike. Clever man.

A fleeting thought: I wonder if Shirin will consider pressing charges against Will after the game is over?

Pressing charges? What drama did I miss?! I know he yelled at her, but did something else happen?

[Jalapeñomel]

Shirin is ridiculous. But Will was way over the line.  

Team Tyler...I think he'll come in from behind. And I think he looks like Dave Matthews, LOL.
