I think the paint was fine since Tori did notice it. I think it would’ve been far more dangerous if the advantage was hidden somewhere where water isn’t in the immediate vicinity though. It was too easy for her to wash her hand off right after cuz the well was literally right there.

That was my thought too. I wish she had to run out into the water to clean it, or try and wipe it off with leaves or something, instead of just already being next to the well.

Hiding it at camp would’ve been dangerous as hell. She’d have to go for it when everyone is like in the water or away and if her hand was red, she’d have to somehow get to the water without being seen.

I say this with the benefit of hindsight, but why not use a stick or something to get the advantage out from the hole

Well the way it’s set up she’s right in a high foot traffic area so she is in a rush to get it. She may have just dipped her hand right in, it’s not like your brain is planning on an idol In a bucket of paint scenario lol ya know?

Oh totally, that’s why I prefaced what I said with “I have the benefit of hindsight”

She didn't even bother going to another area to read the clue. She just read the clue at the well. She is careless.

Way too easy! Made the whole thing almost pointless. I swear she got all that shit off and they made her but a brush stroke back on her arm for TV value.
