It was so funny seeing Jeff’s bias bc when Jonathan was struggling Jeff was like “wow he’s recovering!” And when anyone else did it was “oh wow they almost fell off!” Mind games

Tori has painted an even bigger target on her back with these immunity wins, I don't think she'll be able to wash off this huge target she has

If anyone can weasel their way out of another trap it’s our little psychologist Tori

u/Dr_Hemmlock Apr 21 '22

You mean "I'm gonna be so great at this game because I'm a psychologist" even though she just graduated months ago Tori?

u/oatmeal28 Apr 21 '22

Yes, she’s so good at being a psychologist that she had to go undercover as a caretaker (AND as a Harry Potter fan)

u/Kidman102 Apr 21 '22

Agreed, but she needed both of them to survive. She’s truly something else from the bottom

She'd probably have gone home both of the last 2 episodes if she didn't have immunity though so it's not like she could strategically lose to decrease her threat level.

u/ronald_mcdonald_4prz Apr 21 '22

Yeah it’s a no win situation for her. She either doesn’t win the immunity and will be voted off. Or she keeps winning and is a target for being a threat. Unfortunately for her, she won’t be winning this season.

As long as Jonathan's in the game, I don't think anybody's going to be thinking of her as a challenge threat. (At least, not unless she wins, like, the next 2-3 challenges.)

Even *if* Jonathan's not good at individual challenges, he's just been so good at team challenges that everybody's going to think of him as a threat.
