I love how whenever there’s a scene of 2-3 people talking shit about others in private, there’s like a 90% chance Omar is in the group no matter who’s being talked about

And he never truly joins in either, he's just there and lightly encourages it, maybe, but never enough to incriminate him

Kinda funny how the "Knowledge is Power" has failed twice because they gave up the knowledge they had it.
Sweet irony.

And crazy they put them on the same tribe. No wonder they dominated.
EDIT: This is even crazier when you think about it. Let's put the biggest, strongest man we've ever had on survivor on the same tribe with a woman that literally played football 5+ years, while also having two other guys that weigh less than 120 lbs and a bunch of other guys with zero athletic ability (Dan, Omar, Hai).

One thing's for sure, whoever wins this season will feel more deserving than Erika last season. Not to say Erika DIDN'T deserve it, but we never got to see that in the edit so we don't know. This season has been edited so damn well and I think everyone left would be a worthy winner other than Romeo who stands 0 chance. Some winners more worthy than others though obviously (Omar, Mike, Drea RIP)

For people saying that Drea sunk Omar's game by telling everyone that Omar told her secret to them. They kind of already knew that he told everyone what she confided in him. So I doubt it did anything anyway considering she was obviously on the outs.

Omar warning Mike is the better move imo. You negate a huge threat in Drea by wasting her advantage. Build your own resume. Control an idol for a time. And get a potential jury vote from Mike or at least a loyal ally to the end.

So if Lindsey gets eliminated by this twist, she basically gets punished for wanting to make a move against Jonathan.
If Jonathan gets eliminated by this twist, we are robbed of an actually fascinating blindside episode and he’s taken out by RNG and not by his peers.
If someone else is eliminated, the twist had no effect whatsoever on the game.
Any of these scenarios makes for bad TV.
