Another deliciously entertaining episode, Wafflez. This cast is just so fun!

Starting off with Frost, I must say two episodes in and I've been MASSIVELY blindsided by the people who have gone home so far, and a lot of that has to do with your phenomenal zigs and zags in your editing. Frost, though hilarious with her confessional contradicting every single one of her actions this episode, felt like such a blip in the rest of the going-ons among the Nunavik tribe, I thought for sure that Helen was on her way out after leaking Wylie's advantage. I'm glad with the way it went though, Frost was a walking contradiction in this game, right down to her name showing how incapable she was of surviving the elements so I am elated to see her go and Helen stay.

Though I must say I honestly don't know if this was the smartest move for Dane and Tara Michelle, especially Dane. I get wanting to keep the conflict around, and trust me as a reader I VERY much appreciated that, but it just seemed like the two of them went out of their way to piss off Wylie, who they suspect has some type of advantage, while also keeping him around longer in the game to potentially do damage. Like, I know they're assuming that he's still gonna target Helen, but if he has more than half a brain cell (And seeing that he's not Auggie, this is likely) he'll know that Dane is WAY more of a threat to him than Helen. And with this big twist getting dropped, ugh, I don't know. I get the move, I just see a lot of routes where this goes bad for them by keeping Wylie around.

That being said, I am still rooting for both of them and I am VERY happy that Wylie's ego got cracked a bit this episode as well, hopefully he keeps that pea-brained homeless head on his shoulders for long enough to realize that Dane and Tara Michelle are the real threats on his tribe that he should be worried about. Anything to keep his hilarious feud with Helen around! :D

Also, can we just take a moment and thank our Lord Jesus Christ for letting Helen barrel through her tribemates, track mud all over their stuff, go through Wylie's stuff in front of him and the rest of the tribe, and still somehow make it through the vote? I can't take these levels of iconic so early into a season<3

Sallirmiut definitely had the less interesting dynamics, given that they didn't go back to Tribal Council, but I was still intrigued nonetheless. Especially since I was also blindsided by the sudden appearance and addition of Jin to the game! Really was not expecting any of the members of the other half of the cast to appear this early on, but it is interesting, to say the least.

I think that Matt's theory about Jin being the eliminated Right to Stay player of the other group could be true, but I also don't want to imagine that because that means that Mercedes is also still in the game xD I don't know, I wasn't expecting this and there's apparently this next big moment coming up next episode (Or at least another episode down the line), all I know is that my theory seems to be out the window! Excited nonetheless though, judging by the title of the next episode I'd have to guess that we might be switching over to the other cast maybe?

Either way, this season has gotten off to such a great start, very happy with this episode and very anxious to keep on reading to find out what exactly is going to happen with the rest of these players!

Rooting for #TheRealSisterChristianHelen, Wylie, Tara Michelle, Dane, Stephanie (Cutthroat goddess silently slaying her online idol<3), Ryan, Ty, and Carrie!<3
