I was pretty impressed by Michaela's edit this latest episode. When you get even Probst to go 'damn that was nice' at tribal with that whole 'turn the "WE" upside down into a "ME"' and have both Andrea and Sierra quote Michaela's words during their vote, it's meritorious in a season full of characters when she is THE rookie left in the entire game compared to everyone else.
It was smart of her to stay the course with the Andrea alliance I think, taking out Andrea just makes Michaela an unnecessary target of Brad/Sierra/Troy as they'd have to get rid of everyone else then Michaela since she'd be on the bottom of the Sierra group. Now that it's just Brad and Troy (Tai voted for Sierra so he's no longer with them either) I hope Troyzan finally wises up and shows everyone that he has an idol and starts wearing it around his neck for safety.
I hope the next episode Brad wins individual immunity, then Troy and Tai both use their idols on themselves forcing the Alliance of 5 to splinter thanks to the Excessive Advantages in this game.

They do have WAY too many gimmicks this season. Which is weird because with the double tribal vote, which was maddeningly entertaining, they really didn't need a lot more.
Michaela and Tai AND Sierra got played by Sarah, who turned Sierra's advantage against her while conning Sierra into giving it to her. Pretty ballin move, which I would appreciate from anyone else. But this show kinda might as well be 30 minutes of Sarah reading simple math word problems and explaining how to solve them, then the IC and Tribal.
I love Culpepper, but he seems at a heavy disadvantage now. The problem being he was a big target last round, and won immunity. But that will now be used against him being the stronger player, despite Sarah ruling the game with an iron fist and Jeff mentioning he's never won it before. Tai is sitting pretty right now.
How the hell is Troyzan still in this game? What does he do?

If we end up with like an Aubry, Toryzan, Michaela final 3, I will cry. But also not watch the finale.

Sarah's ruthless move to gun for Sierra after being promised her advantage if she goes should be viewed as a resume-building power play and boost her credentials for a jury vote.
I say should because it's also the type of move people get salty as hell over and might vote against her because of it.

The thing is she's had a direct hand in backstabbing the last three (at least) jurors and putting them on the bench. She's been playing a strong game, but the question is will she have too much blood on her hands for the jury to vote for her (especially if she's sitting with, say, an Andrea).

Immunity challenge already? Is this going to be a double elimination episode?

A commercial break before the votes with all these advantages in play = something is about to go DOWN folks (probably)

This has got to be one of the worst edited episodes ever. Neither boot was really fleshed out and considering Andrea has been the "biggest threat" the last few episodes and Michaela has been a huge charecter this season seems like they could have handled a way to do eaches exits betters.

heh, Troyzan is still in the game for the finale Unless something downright bizarre happens he has "third place finalist" written all over him. I think half of the final six have a realistic shot at it (Sarah, Brad, Cirie), two are wild cards who need everything to go right from here (Aubry and Tai), and Troyzan is drawing dead.

Troy just seems like a real miserable person in real life. Evidently he just searches his name on twitter and blocks everyone who mentions him in a less than glowing light. Works for me since I've never liked him. Even when I hated Kim just lording over the game in One World, I still couldn't root for that doofus.
I'm bummed Andrea went out since she was probably my rooting interest of the bunch, so I guess I'm on the Culpepper train now. Cirie is a great player and her winning would be great, but I've just never liked her.
