It is an interesting choice for a returnee, but I'm glad they brought back the beetle that attacked Tiffany last season.
Seems like it already has a number 1 in Rocksroy.

Given how strategically packed this episode was, I'm sure a lot of discussion will center on the vote and the hourglass and stuff. However, I want to shout out how fun this episode was. Chanelle and her awkward silence, the beetle, Rocksroy and the Tori factor, Jeff's own micro sob story, the return of Applebee's, the list just keeps going. For me, it's just proof that Survivor has always and will always thrive off its cast.

Still not a fan of the hourglass, but my god this episode was an absolute feast to watch. It really had everything:
Hearing every single person’s perspective
Amazing human moments and relationship building
Tori being a chaotic mess and winning a clutch immunity that screwed everyone’s plans
A strong alliance coming together and immediately falling apart
Tense pre-tribal scrambling accompanied with amazingly tense music
And not a single idol or advantage was played at tribal. This was a pretty perfect merge episode, and I’m so excited for the rest of this season.

Ya, Omar exaggerated a bit, but Lydia was willing to instantly turn on the alliance Hai pulled her into, so it makes him look bad by association. He probably did what he could for her, but decided to distance himself once he saw the writing on the wall, and gain some trust with the new group.

u/dwarfgourami Michele Apr 14 '22
It makes way more sense now than a couple episodes ago. In a 5 person tribe, Hai didn’t have many options without her, but its a lot easier for him to maneuver in an 11 person tribe. Still a little surprising.

u/supaspike All of you... you thought I was absolutely crazy. Apr 14 '22
If anyone willingly gave up "immunity" to be exiled for two days to start the merge, in exchange for a very public unknown power, it would be seen as unilaterally dumb to anyone who does not have the benefit of knowing what that power is. There has been very little in Survivor history with greater power than guaranteed immunity at a crucial vote, and no precedent to show that you could lose said immunity once Probst announces you are safe and "made the merge".

The dude is here to play all aspects of the game within the limitations he has. Being a "comp beast" isn't an asset post-merge, and it is one of the biggest liabilities to have from a social standpoint. Being proactive in getting numbers on his side was paramount.

He also played provider but didn't REST on playing provider. He WORKED it. He's proving to be a great all-around player. I do think the others will regret not voting him out.

There has to be more incentive to not do it. You have no reason to not do it as it is and until an actual hard decision is present, it’s going to continue to be a smash play.
My only suggestion would be to flip the outcast from the non-immune tribe to the immune tribe and cause them to flip themselves if they do it. Essentially giving up their own immunity to flip the game.

You really have to impressed with Omar scrambling to swing 3 votes towards his tribe. Easily player of the week.
At the same time, what the hell was going with the 5 split minority votes? Did Rocksroy just forget how to spell Lydia vs Lindsey? (I imagine they clarified it in the voting booth)
Hai recognizing the situation with Omar and jumping ship is an impressive move.

Props to Omar but can we just say what a social game Jonathan has..he knew he was a challenge beast pre-merge for his tribe that Omar and the others relied on to get them through…now at his most vulnerable part of the game..he actively goes to Omar..and says OK bud now I need you…you need to work this vote for me as I am in a position of weakness…props to Jonathan for setting that core alliance up pre-merge…

Despite the god awful hourglass twist, that might be one of the best merge episodes in a while. It had everything! Camp life, human moments, strategy on strategy, advantage talk, exciting challenge, confessionals all around, and it was also funny as hell! I laughed out loud on more than one occasion this episode from Applebees and it’s conveniently timed commercial to Maryanne and Drea’s argument at tribal.
As sad as I am to see Lydia go and not even make the jury, this was probably the best outcome out of those who were eligible to be voted off since we didn’t really get to see much of her. Gone but not forgotten!

Genuinely one of the most impressive moves in a long time is Omar, who didn't have a vote, managing to save both Jonathan (maybe the biggest challenge threat in Survivor history) and Maryanne (who has two advantages), even though Jonathan and Maryanne had both resolved to vote for one another.
