Tangle, I want to apologize in advance because this is going to come off harsh, but I swear I mean it as constructive criticism.

I'm with Tozza on this in saying that I loved the boot, but not the execution. Like, everything to do with the idols and temptation this episode seemed to perfectly be pointing to the next thing happening, leading to an "Of course" response. Let's recap:


 * The temptation is won by a member of the majority and involves losing their vote if they lose.
 * The temptation's disadvantage is used on a member of the minority (for one of the toughest challenges out there), who somehow overcomes all odds to win, costing the majority a vote and coincidentally preventing a split, while giving a vote to the minority.
 * The minority somehow have the instinct to only use one idol and use it on the right person.
 * This being despite a 2nd minority member being told to her face she's going home, knowing there is a 50/50 shot of getting votes. But of course she "has the hunch" to not use her idol and pray she's being lied to.

To me, all that just seemed too coincidental, to the point of being unrealistic. I knew from the second that Brooklyn played her advantage that she was going to lose it, and that somehow the minority would only use 1 idol because all they kept talking about was how to get away with using just 1, and unfortunately, that affected my enjoyment of that string of coincidental events as a whole.

In saying that, I did enjoy the content of this episode, including the blindside! Stanley proving himself to be an annoying, try-hardy asshole, and officially christening himself as a gamebot was just ew, but I loved Kendra shutting him down, and her conversation with Jamie was really well written!

I loved Topher's blindside as well because I thought Brooklyn was a goner, so I was happy with the surprise. Plus, that pathetic little nitwit NEEDED to go!

Also, am I the only one that's finding Ashanda overrated and getting stale? Like, lately her confessionals have been just "Look at mah goats! I'm da best player 'cuz all these people listen to me! Go me! I'm gonna win! Fuck Kendra!"

Like, she causes chaos which can be fun, but her arc in each of these recent episodes has been pretty much exactly the same from what I noticed, and it's kinda old now.

Sorry this comment was such a downer because I love the quality of your writing itself. This was a beautifully written episode as always, and I know the rest of this season is going to be fantastic! Can't wait to see how it all plays out!
