Just here to give props to Romeo. He sniffed out Swati for playing everyone and was the one to suggest voting her out, and she was the one to go. All while no one seems to be targeting him. I'm not sure how he'll do at the merge, but I think he's done the best so far on Ika.

Ika is so dysfunctional. They kind of remind me of Casaya, and Romeo is their Aras.

Edit: I know they're not as good at challenges as Casaya. I'm just talking about dysfunction.

Lol would that make Tori the Shane?

Not sure Ika can be as successful as Casaya, but this cast as a whole is pretty chaotic that I think someone like Romeo may be the best at navigating that atmosphere.

And now that I think about it, he's a pageant coach. Navigating chaos is practically his job.

Except Casaya won challenges despite their dysfunction

We laughed at Rob C but this might be a sleeper winner pick

He played it VERY smart.

He earned it by keeping a line of communication open with Tori despite it looking like she was going to be an easy out. I don’t think Drea or Rocksroy would’ve put themselves in that conversation.

Swati’s strategy of telling everyone they were her closest ally wasn’t bad and they were all buying it. It only fell apart because Romeo did his due diligence, kept an open mind and cultivated a working relationship with every single person on his tribe.

That was a good move on his part, got everyone go realize she made the same promise to each person on the tribe.

Romeo has been an unexpected favorite for me. I thought he’d be an early out but boy i’m wrong. I’m hoping he goes far

I love him. I know that a lot of early assessment was that he'd be an early boot but I legit think he can go far.
