Hi, I'm here, commenting. Took me a while but I got there.

Soooo, we're four episodes in now and I kinda have a sense of what kind of season we're gonna get; a messy season. And I'm kinda here for it? The number of alliances on both tribes is insane and I'll admit I'm still struggling to figure out whose aligned with whom. With that being said, I genuinely have no clue what's going to happen each time a tribe attends tribal which I really like. As much as like clarity in seasons, as long as I can understand why each person is being sent home (which you're doing a great job at), I think I can live with these crazy dynamics. I think part of the reason I'm okay with that is due to the amazing characterisation you've implemented this because I truly feel like I know each of these characters' personalities. So even if takes me a couple seconds to work out where they fit on the tribe, at least I know who they are as a person.

Onto the episode; I really liked it! So much better than the last one, that's for sure. On Sena, we have rising stars in Constantine (he's back in the blue <3) and Sky who did a phenomenal job at shoving Kane's BS right back in his face. The showmance we didn't know we needed until they expressed their disdain for Kane <3. Tori continues to deliver great content, as always: "if he thinks that I'm just going to ditch Sky just because she has a boyfriend, he's sadly mistaken" (YAS @ THIS BLOSSOMING TRIO <3).

Makhuwa continues to be... a mess. Q-Gate was both awkward and kinda hilarious to read, especially with Irene "strategically" calling Emil out to keep Penelope on her side (I think we all know this was really a result of built-up aggression towards him but okay sis ;P). While I was expected Tesla to go, I'm not overly surprised it was Emil since I do think Tesla is a more "complex" character (even though she annoys the fuck out of me). I hope that tribe continues to go to TC because they have a lot of extra weight I would not mind cutting (literally everyone except Marshall/Ricki/Jimmy/Irene).

Another thing I'm really liking about this season is that I genuinely have no clue who's winning. If I had to guess, I'd say maybe Geoff? But it could just as easily be Jimmy, Ricki, or Marshall... or Cassy... or Francine... or Tori... I really don't know!
