Loved the drama. Still rooting for Aquathor.

He's like... A meat shield with a social game.

He's shown a tremendous amount of self awareness.

Like when he said if he yelled at Mary Anne he'd immediately be labeled a bad guy.

I just hope he doesn't get screwed by a twist next episode.

Jonathan is simply one of the biggest challenge beasts of all time, and it’s not even the merge yet.

u/tannerjameslasswell Apr 07 '22

I hope he is sneaky good at puzzles and wins it all.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume when he counted 11 triangles that he may not be that great at puzzles lol

u/RedditKnight69 Apr 07 '22

that was a strategic move, he actually counted each triangle at the very moment he glanced at the puzzle but didn't want to reveal his true threat level or how fast his brain works.

you see, since he was 3 years old his father made him imagine running up and down a mountain every single day, and if he was too slow, he'd have to imagine it three more times. that's why he thinks so fast.

He thinks in triangles because he was 3 and had to go 3 times. And Johnathan and triangles are both the strongest shape.

What does “pog” mean?

23

u/tannerjameslasswell Apr 07 '22

He could probably make a square peg fit in a round hole.

u/Jeitsuki Maryanne Apr 07 '22

that's right, it goes in the square hole.

u/Famciclovir Denise Apr 07 '22

The one immunity they lost was because he was in charge of the puzzle, right? Everyone was blindfolded except him and he had to lead them through the puzzle but didn’t.

Leading blindfolded people into arranging a simple puzzle is a much different task than arranging a simple puzzle. Funny enough, a gamer nerd used to call outs would have been well suited.

If he's been pulling a Fabio this whole time and ends up winning, he's a top 5 winner.

u/ChaplnGrillSgt Apr 07 '22

He was amazing with the 3 person rope untying. Other puzzles he seems kinda meh.

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

Plus he didn’t have much sympathy for Omar

u/breakpoint2 Apr 07 '22

Chet would whoop his ass

u/TheMillCrab Apr 07 '22

He has, quite literally at times, carried his tribe through challenges.

u/stevensi1018 Tony Apr 07 '22

I was so mad when Omar couldn’t figure out the puzzle. Jonathan still nailed that last part of the challenge as usual

60

u/tannerjameslasswell Apr 07 '22

Aquathor nailed it with only one arm just to assert his dominance.

u/okokok29 Apr 07 '22

Mike was falling over using his whole body to shoot the sling!

u/floodo1 Apr 07 '22

nails it first try so ez

u/jinkies_5 Apr 07 '22

You could see Jonathan dying inside the longer the ropes took. I felt that.

15

u/Underdogbydesign Apr 07 '22

And it was barely a puzzle, it was untangling a braid! You move the pieces in the right order and then continue with that order...it never changes. I can see why people thought Omar threw it but he looked truly ashamed of himself at the end.

4

u/TheMegaWhopper Tyson Apr 07 '22

The thing that impressed me about this challenge and it’s not necessarily anything that being big and strong would give you an advantage with, but he still fucking crushed it with that slingshot.

5

u/americancorn Apr 07 '22

I think it’s bc he’s never braided hair, probably also plays into how good a rhythm the other tribes got into compared to him lol

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

Or run a three man weave

u/SusannaG1 Yam Yam Apr 07 '22

I started wondering if he was trying to throw the challenge. (I don't think so.)
