To the tune of YMCA...

Y-A-S-S!

Y-A-S-S!!

As you can tell, I'm psyched for that alliance to be broken up like they were. I do sort of feel bad for Jacob because he was framed for a lie, but this could have been avoided by smarter gameplay in the pre-merge and not getting so cocky and complacent.

Kendra gave Jacob & Jason MULTIPLE chances to fess up if they were hiding something from her. Rather than blame Kryshelle alone for the plan, they kept it a secret, even though outsiders of the alliance like Johannes and full knowledge it was a thing. They didn't have the foresight to realize that people might get desperate to leak the information, despite knowing full well how emotional, paranoid, and volatile Kendra is.

The alliance overall had shit gameplay all season due to being way too cocky amd complacent. My other reasons for not sympathizing with Jacob include him knowing how voting Kendra would look - even stating it in a confessional before Tribal. So he should've kept his mouth shut afterwards because did he really think Kendra would believe him? Save your breath, Jakey.

Also, while likable, that whole alliance having power would've just been icky because we saw how boring Gunung got when they had control and felt they could get away with lazing around and sipping on margaritas instead of appearing the least bit open to working with alliance outsiders.

Misty had better fucking get off her ass next episode, especially now that she is officially in the minority. All she does lately in confessionals is complain about Kendra, and while her complaints are valid, she has yet yo actually do ANYTHING to change her situation! Even this episode, after Kendra vowed to TURN ON THEIR ALLIANCE, Misty simply talked to her one time and kinda just shrugged her shoulders, despite not being confident anything changed! Misty had a plethora of options if she wanted to improve her spot:

1. Sacrifice Jacob and integrate with the alliance that will soon gain power.

2. Appeal to the other alliance to turn the vote on Kendra for being volatile and unreliable - an option that would've made sense since she bitches about Kendra day in and day out anyway.

3. Try to turn the other alliance against each other.

Enough with the bad gameplay side of things though, everyone in the Rinjani Alliance brought their A-Game and I was stoked to see it pay off!

Byron is literally me at the moment - on an emotional high when things go well, a paranoid wreck when they don't. Rooting for him so hard! <3

Sasha, Johannes, and Hazel are also royalty, as usual.

Anastacia... is just there. But she did good, I guess.

Looking forward to the next episode! So pumped to see the pre-game scramble! Keep up the great work, Tangle!!
