Cirie has just made a MAJOR Epic Fail. this is up there with JT giving his idol to hantz It's crazy to say that J.T. may no longer be in possession of "Dumbest Move in Survivor: Game Changers", but at least he can honestly say he was deceived. Cirie just up and failed to read the rules of the advantage. You'd think a four-time player would, at the very least, know to do the bare minimum there.

What a great episode. First off, Sarah went full heel. Not just ruthless behind closed trees (?), but out in the open at Tribal for even the jury to see. Savage on every level. Deception, check. Taking the shit back in the middle of her speech and making her look dumb for not reading it, double check. Cutting off her legs by almost single-handedly eliminating her closest ally, giant check. It' not just that I can't wait for next week, it's that I can't wait for the first 5 minutes of next week, when Cirie gets irate at being made to look a fool.
Second, the Culpeppy train. At least he made it to the last ep. It's always fun to go into the finale with a major rooting interest.
Tai AGAIN with either balls of steel or brains of....steel. Jesus. He has THAT much heat surrounding him and didn't even play ONE idol. Big ol reward to not go home, but I'm gonna deem it a stupid play (or non-play.)
Sarah, for SUCH a savage, what the hell are you doing? Using a HUGE advantage to begin with is game-changing enough, and will help build your reśume. But doing it the way she did made her seem like a hard person to vote for even if she gets to he end. You could have left a huge fingerprint on the game without seeming so ruthless. Like yeah, you find out Cirie's intentions, but you still come off worse than her, so what do you gain?
Michaela, where are your Tribal theatrics now? This girl finally figured out how to hide her emotions in the goddamn exit interview. Come on now.

And since I will end up missing the finale thanks to work (DAMNIT), I'm going to predict Culpepper wins with Tai and Sarah as the others at Final. Oh, and Sarah will get zero votes for her.
Also, I predict Cirie is gone next Tribal after what happened. Sarah is going to be gunning for her now.

One question... that tribal was the only time left to use the advantage Sierra left for her, and if she wasn't planning on using it... why did Sarah HAVE to have it?

One question... that tribal was the only time left to use the advantage Sierra left for her, and if she wasn't planning on using it... why did Sarah HAVE to have it? She can use it at Final 6. AKA Next tribal council, Sarah's automatically in F5 along with whomever plays their idol (also last time to use it would be F6). With all these extra advantages it seems like the 'real' game doesn't start until F5, when everyone is on equal footing. Hoping that Aubry continues her charmed run in Game Changers to sneak into the F3, cause I think she wins hands down against anyone else other than Culpepper. But she blew her chance to eliminate Sarah when Tai came to her with the idea, why would she have Sarah's back after they took out Andrea? I guess Aubry is still rational enough to appreciate good gameplay rather than hold grudges, but she should've seen Cirie's and Michaela's intentions on making Aubry a target after they blindsided Andrea her BFF. Luckily for Aubry, Michaela tried that horseshit "I'm in the majority alliance, become my servant and I'll let you survive for another tribal" powerplay. That rubbed Culpepper wrong enough to where his hailmary with nothing but Sarah's miracle touchdown catch with her vote steal advantage (that Culpepper had no idea of before tribal) came together to FINALLY get Michaela out. Everything, especially that block challenge win, is going in her favor to win as long as she continues to Outlast.

Seven was that last tribal, if I have that right.

When people get too comfortable, they decide to start getting cute and it inevitably comes back to bite them in the ass.
Case in point, Andrea last night. Aubry wins immunity, presenting everybody the opportunity to take out Brad. This is a safe play and a smart play, but she decides that Sarah needs to go. Well, Sarah hears about this and Andrea goes packing. Stick to the plan and Andrea is still around.
Ya know, I'll give credit to Cirie for attempting to make a big move, but why didn't you read the fine print? I think she's a goner next week.
The next tribal is an interesting one because there is a potential scenario where only one person can actually go home because everyone else is safe.
We've got Tai, Culpepper, Aubry, Troyzan, Cirie and Sarah left.
It's smoke 'em if you got 'em time for idols, so that means Tai, Sarah and Troyzan are safe (we assume).
But let's say Tai gives his other idol away to Cirie (for argument's sake) and let's say Brad wins immunity again.
That leaves Aubry as an automatic out. I don't think anything like that has ever happened before.
Now, a lot would hafta happen for it to play out like that, but the potential for something really weird like that exists.

I've seen the words 'fine print' in discussions over and over again. It took Cirie like 15 seconds to read the rules of it at Tribal. This wasn't terms and conditions, Cirie just didn't read something the size of a notecard.
This move turns the game upside down. I do think Sarah thought that she couldn't completely trust Cirie/Michaela. But it is weird how it worked out. What happens if Cirie doesn't try to play it? What happens if she steals Troyzan or Brad's vote? Does it still go down that way? Does Jeff let her play it?
Very interesting going forward. Very few strong alliances. Brad and Troyzan have history. Tai can't trust Aubry. Cirie is strongly on the outs with Sarah, and maybe with Aubry for the Andrea vote now that she isn't with Sarah. Sarah can't work with Cirie, but now is stronger with Tai. It's gone from two alliances to complete chaos with only alliances of two as it stands now. It's really anybody's game, especially if Sarah goes out before the F3. Sarah seems the most likely to win given that this game has been completely shaped by her. Brad has a good shot. Cirie/Tai/Aubry all have a shot depending on how it goes down.
But Troyzan. He was pitching staying at Tribal to "play his game." What f***ing game? He hasn't made a move. He isn't going to make a move. He's an anchor getting carried to the finish line. I would rather see Coach brought back than see guys like Troy sink to the top.

I think it's safe to say that Troyzan has zero chance against anybody on the jury save him making one helluva exciting immunity run, then making the best case in Survivor history for the final Tribal. Not likely....

One of these days everyone at tribal will play an idol and nobody gets voted out.
