Nick is saying his true alliance is with Michele.

Nick is going home tonight.

I'm hoping it is his boot episode

Yeah...I think Nick, Michele, Aubry and Neal go on one side, with everyone else going to the other side. And I'm not even sure Michele sticks with them.

Poor Aubry and Neal.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Split the vote?

You barely even have enough numbers to win a vote without splitting.

 

[lamaroo]

Tell all of the things!

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Yeah, I think this is the Nick boot. We'll see.

 

[Kifimbo]

They sure are making clear Nick is at the center of this episode.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Yeah, I think this is the Nick boot. We'll see.

Yeah, it seems really obvious.

This show is at its best when people can't count and they think they're strategic geniuses. Even One World -- arguably the worst season ever -- was briefly watchable during those episodes where people like Troyzan and the Dumb Hunk alliance thought they were controlling the game for no discernible reason.

 

[Grexeno]

I don't think that's how making alliances works, Debbie.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Dibs. You're in our alliance now. No takebacks.

I would comment at how surprising it is that Nick lasted this long into the game while clearly being so terrible at it yet he hasn't exactly gone to a tribal council yet. You don't have ANY clue how capable of a Survivor player you are unless you've at least experienced tribal first-hand and know where people actually stand. And he hasn't.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Wow, Jason is really obnoxious.

 

[matthewwhatever]

I like Neal and Aubry so much. I want them to somehow flip things around, but it looks so dire, even with the HII.

I'm definitely a Neal fan. Hopefully he turns things around.

This is what the show wants you to think. I think they pull it off.

I really like Aubry, but I can totally jump to the Michele train in an instant.

 

[matthewwhatever]

This is what the show wants you to think. I think they pull it off.

I'm sure (or at least hoping) they do, at least for this episode, but I have no idea how it happens in any kind of sustainable way.

Though it would be something if this season ends up having voting blocs, after last year's returnees were so high on themselves for thinking they'd come up with it.

 

[peteykirch]

Debbie is a crappy waitress. She doesn't know how to balance a tray.

 

[vypek]

Please let Nick lose

Edit: fuck

 

[Grexeno]

Well I was dead wrong.

 

[peteykirch]

You had one job Tai

 

[redhood56]

So RIP Neal

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Well, I guess so much for Nick's obvious boot episode. Huh.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Egg on face.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Huh. Didn't expect one of the more built guys to win a balancing challenge.

EDIT: Sweet Jesus, Nick is insufferable.

 

[Grexeno]

There is no way the Brawn tribe is winning tonight.

 

[Kifimbo]

Seems like bunch of idols could be played.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Aubry just blatantly broadcasting to Michele that she'd flip on Debbie.

And if Nick doesn't have an amazing blindside, this season will be a disappointment.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Someone about to get pulled?

 

[Grexeno]

And someone is about to be saved due to the infection of someone else.

 

[mackaveli]

Neal going home?

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Neal going home?

I hope not. But I could see it easily.

 

[peteykirch]

This doctor saying that's lovely to each of these injuries is a little odd.

 

[Grexeno]

Neal is done.

 

[matthewwhatever]

EW EW EW EW EW. That thing is black. EW.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

EW EW EW EW EW. That thing is black. EW.

Yeah, that just looked nasty.

 

[peteykirch]

He drank the water Debbie gave him, and he ended up with the bubonic plague.

 

[matthewwhatever]

NOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Grexeno]

Damn

fastest way to kill a merge episode is a medical evac or a quit.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Fuck.

 

[lamaroo]

Ah damn

 

[matthewwhatever]

Hopefully he gets a second chance.

And hopefully he manages to slip his HII to Aubry.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Dammit. I really liked Neal.

 

[Grexeno]

Well that was a winner confessional from Aubry at the end there.

 

[Kifimbo]

He kept the idol ? But why ?

 

[Grexeno]

He kept the idol ? But why ?

Probably because there was no opportunity to give it to Aubry without everyone seeing it.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Well that was a winner confessional from Aubry at the end there.

I really hope so. Especially coupled with the Nick confessional. She's way less of a threat now that Brains don't have four, and she was pretty clearly broadcasting that she was ready to flip on Joe & Debbie.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

He kept the idol ? But why ?

Maybe he wasn't allowed to pass it on? I mean, technically, I'd imagine that he was out of the game officially during the goodbyes. Just like being voted out with an idol.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Probably because there was no opportunity to give it to Aubry without everyone seeing it.

Still, if he had it on him, he could have quickly dropped it where he was getting checked out by medical and then whispered the location to Aubry, right?

Back during One World, Jeff told Colton that he could, but he chose to keep it as a souvenir anyway.

 

[ultron87]

I hold out hope that he like stashed the idol in Aubrys bag as he was getting his stuff. But that probably didn't happen.
