I like this season (so far). So I'll probably follow it the whole way through.

The gimmicks of this season are really starting to add a nice extra layer to everything, between Kellyn's confessionals were she made the wise strategic decision due to the Ghost Island temptation-- to James' cursed idol finally being laid to rest in a valiant bluff from Michael. Bonus points for that thrilling immunity challenge finish gets this episode a solid A from me.
The fact that 18 year old Michael was smart enough to think on his feet, and create that lie about a double-save is pretty impressive and the gambit almost worked. I thought he conned Sebastian, but perhaps more impressive was Naviti staying true despite what seemed like a 50% shot of Bradley going home and them losing their 5/4 Advantage. Nobody is a Tai-type of player this season thank god.

I thought he conned Sebastian, but perhaps more impressive was Naviti staying true despite what seemed like a 50% shot of Bradley going home and them losing their 5/4 Advantage. Nobody is a Tai-type of player this season thank god. 18 year old Michael is someone I am really rooting on. More than any other 'teen' player, I've seen on this show, Michael has been quite savvy and clever when it comes to much of his game so far. Michael articulated his words incredibly well during tribal, as best as one could have. The part about telling the others that they'd look back and say 'damn, I should have made that move' feels like it will ring true and the ones who decided not to make that big move (maybe like Sebastian) will probably pay for it later. I can already tell that Michael will be getting an underdog story of the season, of the 18 year old kid who played like a real survivor. On the other hand, looks like we got an insufferable 'villain' in Bradley. He had a poor social game, not even attempting to pretend to plan with Stephanie and get her in his good graces and instead, completely isolated her and the rest of the minority. He wants to play like Kim Spradlin or Boston Rob, but is playing more like Dan Foley. *Edit: What really shiny eyes though.

The thing about Chris that makes me like him more than Dom is that under all the villain posturing, the dude is a total goober. I know it doesn't look good for him, but I really hope he can make it to the merge.

Sebastian's voice doesn't match up with how he looks at all. He sounds like he should be an old-timey journalist from, like, the '50s, who wears a hat that says "PRESS" on the side.

I get so annoyed when they go through another castaway’s bag.

Too soon for merge. Another swap? Three tribes?

Not a super great episode, but I REALLY liked how all three boot options were given some development and people crying over someone getting voted out feels like a thing that rarely ever happens anymore.

This felt very Thailand final nine in that it was a pretty clear boot that nonetheless still hit from an emotional standpoint. As to fw91's question, people have been speculating about a third tribe ever since Boston Rob tweeted something with a green Ghost Island buff visible in it, so I'd bet we're getting a third tribe next week.
