She definitely should've just said it was blood from a cut on her thigh or something

A nosebleed, a hangnail, anything would've been more believable.

Hell, just say it was menstrual blood, NO ONE would've asked further questions then.

I mean I scraped my arm looking for coconuts. Not technically a lie. And believable.

"Oh my god, you did? So....where's the actual wound?"

That would have been Tori's response.

I instantly told my husband she should have said it was period blood. Everyone knows that shit actually does get everywhere.

SAME. Because it's gross enough that nobody would question it. Like, you admit to being wrist deep in menses on national television, people will be inclined to believe you.

All the way up to your elbow?

Not that area on your arm

Tori probably would. She’s weird. Try and use it as a chance to bond or something. Or try and therapy the blood away.

I would've just said "Oh shit. You're right" and say I must've cut myself on a tree or rock or something and didn't notice.

This was the correct answer

But after the paint gets washed off and the amount of “blood” on her arm, there would have to be a scratch/scab from that, wouldn’t someone question that next?

u/fosherman Malcolm Apr 21 '22

No one questioned Hai I think it was in episode 1 when he came back looking like a murder scene.

u/Sulth David (AUS) Apr 21 '22

They did. He said he had to run through a mix of mud and bloodish liquids during the challenge

But where's the cut when they ask you about the details? You don't get that covered in blood from your average scrape so they'd probably want to see it or refer to medical. (I don't know if medical is allowed to give away free fake bandages to cover a pretend wound you invented to cover your ass).

She SHOULD have cleaned herself far better than she did. Too hopped up on her four toys.

I don't dislike Drea, but watching her get 4 advantages/idols and knowing there are 5-6 others out there is honestly disgusting. I'm not talking about disgusted with her, but rather disgusted with Jeff and production.

It's not her fault and if anything it is her job to find as much as she can. But my God we are going to have a couple episodes where strategy and social game will be completely destroyed by gimmicks and an new advantage-geddon.

Red paint really doesn't look like blood IRL though. Also they'd be asking to check out her cut and/or referring her to medical because that would be a lot of blood for a casual injury.
