_______ to _______:



This was an absolutely amazing episode, and as Jake said below, it was great that you put these two boots in the same episode.

Reading Rachel this season just made me sick to my stomach, there's no way to say it. Calling Kurtis a homophobe for sympathizing with Winter after, Rachel called Winter's brother her confused sister is just about the most disgusting thing she's done. Right, Kurtis and Winter are the "bullies," even though Rachel is the one that seems to relish in making their lives hell and spewing their hatred towards them. There's bullying, then there's standing up for yourself. Rachel was doing the former, and Kurtis was doing the latter.

Why does Kurtis have to relay my exact thoughts in his voting confessionals, Matt? Are you trying to make him an icon that reads my mind?

"I'm getting really sick of writing your name down, but this time it feels extra sweet after all that's gone down recently. Calling me a homophobe is a new low, especially since you were the one spewing all the hate in the first place! Get a grip."

Rachel going unanimously just made her boot all that much sweeter. Honestly, I'm done with her at this point, and she's gone, so... yeah. Good riddance!

Then there's Elaine's confessional about wanting to keep Rachel around for her game, but all of her emotions telling her to get rid of Rachel, or whatever. Rachel is clearly the most volatile and unreliable person in the game, but that confessional shows right there just how much Elaine is determined to be a fucking gamebot and how little she actually cares about other people are affected by the words coming out of Rachel's mouth. Elaine can just leave at this point. I know she voted with the group, but that confessional pretty much stated that she only voted with the group to not destroy her own game, and not because she wanted Rachel gone, so she can fuck right off.

As for Augy going home... bye. He started off the game as a hypocrite... then he got boring... and he just never got any better. Glad he's out.

I'm worried for the trio because they are my favourites in the game, but it's only logical for them to be targeted. My guess is that Kurtis will be the next one blindsided because I feel like Winter is set to go further in the game. That really sucks because I do believe there is a lot that can happen in terms of Kurtis' relationship with Heather, and I think he and Winter are both incredibly entertaining in their own rights, so I don't want their runs to end whatsoever. If someone in the trio must go, I'd rather it be Sadie just because I don't know how much further her specific bonds with other castaways can grow, whereas I feel like Winter and Kurtis could have more story with Leilani and Heather respectively.

I also feel like the Le Morne Alliance (minus Heather) are much less interesting and more strategy focused than the aforementioned trio, so I'd rather them not win out. I am excited to see where this goes from here though! Keep up the fantastic work, Matt!
