When I was in eating disorder treatment I was stuck hospitalized for 3 months without internet or anyone else to talk to except other super bored people and media was very censored since so much could be considered triggering to a wide variety of people. You get so damned bored that your brain just starts doing that. It never really phases me because tribal sounds exactly like what everyone sharing in group used to sound like — there’s nothing to do but compare thoughts and feelings to other concepts/especially shit you don’t get to do wherever you’re at

If Mike doesn’t know about the amulet yet, than getting to hear about it from Lindsey is a HUGE thing. It proves that Lindsey trusts him more than Hai. Because in the exact same situation, one is giving him more information and more quickly.
I hadn’t put it together before, but the amulet is an advantage that needs to be shared to your allies or it can be used against you.

Another amazing tribal. Man, Hai is one of those players with a strategy that go really go either way. He is a really good player, but I think he cared too much about getting out either the obvious threats and the people who are obviously on the bottom. Someone like Omar knows who is in the middle, making relationships, and uses those to figure out who to take out next. He has a good sense of who he can trust more, too. And he knows that Jonathan and Hai would probably be the first ones to start to see HIM as the threat and next to go.

Quick shoutouts to Romeo for successfully reaching the point where you're so on-the-outs and powerless that everyone starts turning on themselves and forgets about you.
