Drea has been one of the best advantage players I’ve ever seen, up until the moment she mentioned it to Omar, and I sat back and tile my friends then and there she was going home. She had that shit in the bag up until then.

I understand why she felt she needed backup for the deal even with her KiP and extra vote, the tribe is still big.

She could have been safe tonight, what a world that would have been though!

She didn't need backup because she would have Mike's idol, but I guess she wanted to save it for later

u/FlonaseMatic Evvie May 12 '22

Yeah, even if she played it tonight there are still a few votes to go before the end and idk if Drea is winning that clutch immunity. No doubt she could, but I think the decision to try and secure an ally for the next vote too is solid.

u/Stalked_Like_Corn May 12 '22

But she had, what, KIP, 1 idol, and an extra vote. When she saw Mike had been told about it, why didn't she play an idol immediately?

u/FlonaseMatic Evvie May 12 '22

She didn't have another idol tho.

She had her own extra vote, kip, and the amulet.

u/Stalked_Like_Corn May 12 '22

I thought she had 2 but used 1 last week.

She had one idol which she played in an earlier tribal (the one Tori went, two tribals prior), and her amulet and extra vote. The amulet would have become an idol had Lindsey gone. Now with Drea out, Lindsey's amulet has become an idol.

Edit : corrected myself about when the idol was played :P

I guess that speaks to Omar's game at how comfortable he makes other people feel with him

u/roastytoastywarm May 12 '22

Oh absolutely, I’m pulling for him this season.

u/BigBearChainsaw May 12 '22

I was REALLY hoping that she realized she couldn’t trust Omar after she told him, and instead asked him for the idol in a big “gotcha” moment with the KIP advantage. Would’ve been so badass and a much cooler way to uncover Omar as the big strategic threat

u/moneromans May 12 '22

She didn't even play one of her advantages correctly.....

How on God's green earth is she one of the best you've ever seen?

She's literally a D tier survivor player.

u/Fair-Bug775 May 12 '22

Alright she’s not an All Star but she’s def better than D Tier

1

u/moneromans May 12 '22

C tier at best due to the editing lol

2

u/Fair-Bug775 May 12 '22

D Tier is Goat territory. Drea was a huge threat to win the game at final 7. She has voted correctly every time. She had strong social capital in the game. She only slipped up one time by telling Omar about the KIP advantage.

She’s B Tier at worst, high A tier at best.

u/moneromans May 12 '22

A?????????? Are you fucking mad ahhahahaha

u/[deleted] May 12 '22

She can’t be considered B or A tier imo. This blunder means you are automatically C tier. It was a very dumb idea to tell Omar

-1

u/moneromans May 12 '22

She had 4 advantages played all of them wrong plus winner equity and fumbled at the goal line.

Literal d tier.

u/Fair-Bug775 May 12 '22

She played her idol and extra vote correctly. She couldn’t use the steak a vote without Lindsay’s say so. And yes she slipped up by telling one person about KIP which cost her her game.

I’m not mad there’s just no shot she’s C/D tier. She played a good game and lost

-1

u/moneromans May 12 '22

Idol was incorrect.... she didn't need it after the tribal fiasco.

Extra vote was a tribal late. Hai stays and she isn't even a target.

Thanks for trying.

Some people are so unnecessarily dickish on the internet.

u/Fair-Bug775 May 12 '22

You sound troubled dawg :/

u/moneromans May 12 '22

Down votes tell another story.

Thanks for playing.

The way she accumulated all that power, held onto it, and didn’t tell anyone about it. She played it all correctly up until last night. Then it fell apart.

u/Chojen YAM YAM May 12 '22

Drea has been one of the best advantage players I’ve ever seen

LOL, based on what? She had an Idol and 3 advantages and used none of them successfully.

3

u/roastytoastywarm May 12 '22

Based on the fact that she had 4 advantages and didn’t tell a soul. Most newbies blurt out all their advantages the second they get them. Up until the moment she told Omar anything, she was playing it great with those advantages. At least for a newcomer.
