BEST. EPISODE. EVER!!!!! Or at least of the season so far ;)

I've got to say, the pre-merge may have been underwhelming but these two episodes of the merge so far have been KILLING it! Like, this blindside is going to go down in history with the likes of Jeffrey, Heather, Natalie, Pasha, Lachlan, Nubia, Jay, Benny, and Olivia as the craziest blindsides of your series! And I am SOOOOO in love with it!

First of all, paying respects to Marc, who was a character right to the end, in all of his delusional glory. Even though he was a bonafide asshole most of the time, he was also incredibly entertaining with his constant complaining and tantrums about some of the most mundane things (Who can forget the infamous Sterling rain-gate?). Ultimately, I am elated that he was the blindside victim here, but he and his constant meltdowns are most assuredly going to be missed!<3

As for the two rockstars of this vote, words cannot describe how in love I am with Adrienne and Gemini right now. I've loved Adrienne from the beginning, and I am SO happy that she survived this vote and is finally coming out of the shadows after her pre-merge UTR run. Even though it was her own narrow focus on Marc's annoyingness that kept her out of the loop, I have full faith that she will be able to bounce back and, hopefully, serve the rest of these bitches some tea for trying to get her out like that!

Gemini is still a complete mystery to me. I mean, she's obviously a Final Destination reject because her narcolepsy is clearly giving her premonitions of the future, so that's something. However, I still can barely wrap my head around the fact that she just idoled out one of the biggest characters of the season thus far while also managing to have zero confessionals to her name. I mean, this is like fuckin Purple Kelly jumping out of nowhere and then idoling out someone like Sash. Like, what? How the fuck does that happen?!?!?!

Either way, I am excited to see what the fallout will be from her idol plays. I love that she's making Auggie look like the fucking clown that he is and, who knows, maybe she'll FINALLY get a confessional next episode!

Speaking of next episode, my one prediction that I'm almost certain of is that Lynsie is royally fucked for the rest of the game. This is the second episode in a row that broadcasted her downfall and she's still somehow in the game, so I don't really know what the fuck is up with that. Either way though, she needs to trim the ego down because god freaking damnit she looked like such a dunce here. "I'm the only one here who's won the game so clearly I'm the only logical one and everyone else are clearly amateurs who don't have the brainpower to feed and bathe themselves" Like, seriously Lynsie? Does she honestly believe that the way that she and Ambrielle are going about this game is smart or logical? Cut to her uncomfortably convincing everyone else to switch their votes to Adrienne and then making all of them, especially herself, look like idiots for throwing their votes onto two people who then got saved by idols. Great look, Lyns.

Even though Lynsie and Ambrielle's arrogance this episode was infuriating and their whole reason for turning on Adrienne petty as fucking hell, I am actually quite enjoying the villainous dynamic that they're bringing to the game. I mean, I don't want them to do well, obviously. But I think their cockiness and cattiness, much like Marc's complaining, brings a lot of entertainment to to the season and I am VERY much looking forward to seeing what they do next now that they've exposed their own idiocy to the rest of the players.

Even though that whole revival challenge with Big Lips Lakynn is more of a ridiculous afterthought at this point, I did enjoy some of the character growth that came out of it for Jack, who is still one of my favorites and I am SUPER hoping that we get to see more of him and Kevin (Another person I enjoyed this episode) now that their obnoxious leader is gone.

Also just the scene of all the other tribe members screaming and running around camp in a horror movie-like frenzy because of freaking Lakynn of all people is hilarious to me. Even though I'm not super into over-the-top elements like this, the fact that it didn't change anyone's placements in the game and that it brought some humor to an otherwise strategy+drama-packed episode makes it good in my book.

Super excited for the next episode, this merge has been SO good so far and I am really looking forward to how the groups are going to shift around after that big idol play.

Rooting for Adrienne, Psychic Gemini, Jack, Sterling, Kevin, and Aneal!<3
