Talk:Celebrating July Fourth a Little Early/Tribal Councils/@comment-27391152-20180601122543

WIG. SNATCHED.

This was such a glorious, brilliant, episode with a satisfying result (for me at least) and I am so excited for what's to come. I feel like every single character had a meaningful impact on this episode, which is extremely impressive given that there were eighteen people to focus on. I think the episode might've been a little too long and there were some bits that could've been cut out (like the whole complex, extensive deliberation on who to vote for on Gouyave when they were pretty much always gonna vote for whoever Trinity wanted), but overall, amazing episode. <3

I am sad that Wylie's gone considering he was such a terrible player that it was fun to watch him flop, but I do think he had a nice three-episode arc. He was kinda meh this episode and I like that the tribal dynamics on Gouyave are still very up in the air given that the Older People alliance lost a number but Eddiot's Angels lost an idol. Trinity is also a fucking goddess and she is my new obsession. Sorry Eddiot.

As for Carricou, what an absolute shit show. The thing I love most about them this episode is that it was all extremely messy and chaotic but it still made SENSE and was easy to follow. Last episode was great but I just really didn't understand why everyone was doing what they were doing so it kinda took away from the overall impact. THIS, however, was just perfect. I loved the drama, the chaos, the fact that Ashanda became a swing vote, the Tribal Council (KENDRA SNATCHED JEFF BALD); it was all great and I am so excited to see where the tribe goes from here. I do think people made a huge mistake keeping Kendra, specifically Topher who was essentially the deciding vote here (I doubt Jamie votes Jason out unless Topher does as well). Kendra is just WAY too emotionally unstable and I feel like it'll cause everyone problems down the line. Jamie probably should've told Mackenzie he was voting for Jason too, because it looks like she's preeeeeeetty angry lmao.

As for Jason, I'm fine with him leaving. I honestly feel like he didn't have all that much storyline potential left in him and he would've just become the perpetual underdog that has no real personality. Like, one thing about him that particularly annoyed me this episode was when he essentially called Ashanda Satan for lying to Topher. Like... I understand not liking her abrasiveness and her irrational hatred of you, but this is fucking Survivor. People lie in the game to get ahead and she was doing nothing but trying to further herself in the game. I honestly feel the same way about Jason that Uke felt about Jacob last season; he just comes across as so fucking perfect and altrusic that it simply pisses me off. And compared to Kendra, who is bringing so much entertainment value, I'm glad he's gone.

LOVING THIS SEASON. It's crazy, I adore the cast (although I feel there might be a few too many psychos xD) & I cannot wait to see how everything else shakes out. Like honestly, I think this is the messiest cast I have ever witnessed and tbh, I'm getting serious Gabon teas so far. A lot of villains that you kinda end up rooting for because they are just so iconic. XD

Updating ranking:


 * 1) Trinity
 * 2) Eddiot 
 * 3) Samantha
 * 4) Brooklyn
 * 5) Kendra (I still like her, but she's almost got the point where I'm genuinely wondering if leaving the game would be better for her. She's gotten way too much in her head about needing to go far and I just feel bad for her, honestly. That being said, she was still extremely iconic with her rant at Tribal Council <3.)
 * 6) Ashanda (sue me)
 * 7)  Wylie 
 * 8) Moses
 * 9) Lulu
 * 10) Taihlaura
 * 11) Jamie
 * 12) Shivani
 * 13) Meiling
 * 14) Stanley
 * 15)  Kory  
 * 16)  Lennox 
 * 17) Mackenzie (glad her plotting came back to bite her. She was in too good of a position for my liking)
 * 18)  Jason 
 * 19) Jensen
 * 20) Topher (I genuinely can't stand his boohoo storyline. Like, you aren't a 5-year old. Grow up.)
