Can someone other than Ben or Ryan please start playing this game? How has Ben not become a target while constantly being painted as the guy in charge? Dr Mike comes to TC with an idol and two huge targets to give it to, and he plays it for himself after talking the smallest amount of shit at Tribal to the 7 possible. Just a really confusing play. I don't know if he thought he was making himself a target or he thought he was a bigger target than he was going in, but either way the result was the same. They tease the 7 splitting up next week, but I think that's still a tad too early for them as they all seem to be playing it safe for now. I want chaos, but I hardly expect it from this f***ing group. see, I think a lot of people ARE playing the game, but its just not interesting for whatever reason. You mentioned Ryan and Ben. But I also see Dr Mike, Lauren, Chrissy and Joe as players as well. Maybe throw Ashley into the mix as well.

Chrissy and Ashley don't see Joe as a boat anchor to take to the end, they just want him out because he annoys them. They should want him out, because yes he is playing the game. I shouldn't have left him or Lauren out. But they want him out for personal reasons, not seeing the bigger picture. Chrissy strikes me as a backseat driver. She wants to talk the game (even right in front of those not in her alliance), but she's merely a passenger in the game. I want people who bide their time and then make some moves and drive a shift. Joe, Ben, Ryan, and they've teased Lauren next week as being that type of player. But Chrissy and Ashley I'm almost positive aren't that type of player. I had hope Dr. Mike was, as him and oddly Joe are the only rooting interests I have, but this week gave me doubts.

I like what Stephen said about Devon on this week's Know-It-Alls, that Devon's sort of playing up the expected "dumb surfer bro" stereotype a bit so people are more comfortable revealing information to him. Sort of like he's actually playing the game that the editors for Nicaragua wanted us to think Fabio was playing.

If you asked me to pick a winner out of the remaining nine players right now, it would probably be either him or Lauren at this rate.

This season is interesting in that, outside of JP, everyone gets time on camera. I think it's how you can see they're all playing their own games. Ryan, Chrissy, Ben, Joe, Mike, Lauren, Ashley, My Boy Devon (TM)... even the last handful of people voted out - Cole, Desi, Jessica, Ali - were all shown playing in their own (not always smart, COLE) ways. It's seriously only JP who is a ghost. I know this season isn't bringing the fireworks, necessarily, but I'm still digging it in a mellow, old-school way. It's better than Game Changers, imo.

to me Devin seems aware, but not taking charge. Sort of reminds me of Eddie from Caramoan. I see him as final boot.

The weird thing with J.P. is that he's utterly inarticulate about playing, but he's definitely got some impact on the game. His performances in team challenges are great, and that in turn leads to people thinking highly of him. This secret scene with Chrissy shows that he's at least held in good standing around camp, and not just because he's an obedient number. Then you get something like this scene where he talks about why he's playing, and you can see that he's at least got one interesting thing about him that isn't being shown for one reason or another. I'm not saying "give us more J.P.!" but he's definitely a little bit more than what we've been shown so far.

I dunno, I can't tell if JP is completely oblivious/indifferent to the social aspect of the game or if he thinks he IS playing the game. He's clearly competing in the physical aspect and I have a hard time believing that after 30+ seasons ANYONE could be as oblivious to the social aspect of the game as he seems to be without it being done on purpose.
Edit - I was okay with Dr. Mike up until he made that whole "Murca!" Speech and idiotic play with his idol during the last tribal council. There are so many flaws in his logic...

I would love to compete but 1. I can't swim and 2. I can't afford to not have a job for any length of time.
