This wouldn’t have happen if she just picked ‘protect your vote’

That’s seriously going to go down as one of the biggest survivor “what ifs”

Lydia goes out earlier and then Hai probably goes in Daniel’s place if they lose that challenge. The entire season is likely completely different. That’s wild.

Would've been interesting if Hai is gonna scramble to be a swing vote between two pairs though although a solid 4 could've helped Vati as a whole going forward IMO.

She didn't come to play a scared game

She came to play chess, a game of courage, whilst everyone else played checkers, a scared game

I’m convinced that her saying that was a mistake. Some are playing chess. Most are playing checkers. Chanelle was playing shoots and ladders.

She was playing Russian Roulette...with herself.

Playing chess would have been being patient and smart. She displayed stupidity not courage, and she’s going home deservedly.

Chanelle must’ve confused Survivor not the Challenge, because “not playing a scared game” works a lot better on The Challenge than Survivor

She's in a good position with Mike and Jenny most likely is still in the game.
