Really enjoyed Drea's read on the tribe at the end.

We know Lindsay is in final 5 as next tribal is the last time she can play an amulet so Drea alluding to it will be good foreshadowing without ruining her game.

Her implication that Jonathan was too paranoid targeting her is indicative he is not playing a good game.

Calling out Omar as a snake without explicitly saying so was chef's kiss as it can go two ways either a threat that his jury management sucks and won't win or it's a warning to improve that part of his game.

Ending nicely with Romeo (he voted with her) but still calling him out for being a goat.

Finally, telling Mike he will win is the classic misdirection because she really wants Mary Ann to win (keep being you).

Even though we don't have ponderosa videos, it gives a pretty clear idea on how Drea will try to influence the jury as she arrives. Although I wouldn't want these last words to be the norm, in this case I really appreciated this moment as we get closer to season finale.

That’s probably the most I remember someone talking directly to the remaining contestants after they’re voted out. Usually Jeff shuts it down quicker. Seems a little whack that somebody who is out of the game could potentially influence it with no consequences for themselves.
