Spencer has performed very well in every challenge up until this point, where he's first out? I say he threw it. Let the other people emerge as physical threats.

And I think Spencer's strategic genius comes from all of the bad moves he hasn't made, rather than the good moves he has made. I mean, who really has made any good strategic moves this whole game? Spencer is just playing good Survivor and less bad things happen to you when you do that.

Don't count him out yet, I think he can still go far. Spencer <3 <3 <3

Oh yeah, and BTW, remember when I said Tony was playing a good game? Can I still get some credit for that prediction now that his team is on the top again?  :P

Just watched the episode. Kass had a chance to make things better for herself and she chose to get 6th place. So disappointed in her.

But mostly this episode: Spencer <3 <3 <3 -- how could you not love him at this point!?

Ha, yeah right. I seriously doubt flipping would have helped her much.

Spencer, the guy who left his clue on his pants and then left his pants????? Okay.

And he should have played his idol on Morgan.

The new idol had better be able to shake things up real good, I'd hate to see this season turn into just picking off the minority players one by one. I like Spencer and Tash. :(

Flipping seemed like it was at least a chance of getting farther than 6th place. I really don't see what her plans are for getting farther. I mean maybe she's tried to make sub-alliances but we haven't heard about it so I don't see it working out for her.

And yes, Spencer. That guy. < 3< 3 <3

How was he supposed to know who to play his idol on? I would have done the exact same thing. <3 Spencer  ;D

Because it was obviously Morgan.

I'm rooting for Tony or LJ to win. I'm liking Trish and Woo more and more. On the other side I like Tasha the best.

To you it was obvious. How could he have known when he was out there?

I don't think staying with the tony crew is bad for cass. They aren't so tight that she is definitely out at six. She could be a swing player in an eventual LJ v tony feud.

Yeah, Spencer's poor idol hiding was very unlike him, I thought. The "test of will" - challenges have always been my favorites, I was really glad to see Spencer come through in that. Based on pre-game - interviews, I didn't think I'd like him, but I really do! I also liked Cochran, though.

The poker player (who was super disappointing!) who went out early has been posting a poker forum a little bit about his experience. Obviously he can't yet say much yet, because of spoilers, but I thought read on Kass's thought process mainly being "okay, what move here would yield me the most screen-time?" was quite fitting. She seems truly crazy, and somehow twistedly being proud of being chaotic

To be clear, I really think she screwed up her chances by flipping initially. It was a bad move. Having done that, though, flipping back seems like a dubious move right now.

All right, so we disagree.

My prediction is that Kass will finish 6th place at best, unless she makes a move against her new "alliance"

...and though it's largely too late for that, I could see her telling them to split a vote to flush out Spencer's ( <3 ) idol and then flipping at that time, but that move doesn't really have a future either...

I was right about Tony -- for all the wrong reasons -- but I was right. Let's see if I'm right again  :P

Kass has absolutely no win equity whatsoever, either way.

Wow! Well, I have to think that Tony made the same bad move that Kass did two weeks ago. I mean, it's easier to defend Tony here than Kass in her previous situation, because LJ was certainly a big threat. But Spencer and Jeremiah (and Tash) are threats too. I think a blindside of LJ would have been quite smart next week or the week after. As it stand, Jeremiah and Tash and Spencer are all back in the game in a big way.

I kind of feel like Trish, of all people, is the smartest player here--something I did NOT think was the case a few weeks ago.

I liked LJ, but he could have seen this coming, and piled all 5 of his faction's votes on Jeremiah, or Tony himself.

Whoever I am, I would pretty much be planning to take Jefra and Kass to my final three.

I agree with you on all points. I liked LJ but I really like what this means for the rest of the game, things are staying interesting. The only thing I wished we could have had was a head-to-head between LJ and Tony. Tony has just played way too carelessly for things not to come back and bite him at some point, I think. I'll be really disappointed if he makes it to the end with nothing major to humble him...he's played well, but he's also gotten pretty lucky.

I have been more and more impressed by Trish as well but it is important to note that she wasn't able to sway Tony away from LJ. Should be an interesting dynamic between her and Tony after being excluded from plans, I'd love to see her become more of a strategic threat in her own right.

I like Tony's move. Who's to say that him and Kass can't keep flipping back and forth and riding the middle all the way to the end? Everybody this season is so eager to declare to everyone that they're on the bottom. I hate it when people do that. The first step to being on the bottom is admitting you're on the bottom, and if you never do that, you end up on the bottom less often.

Oh yeah, and Spencer <3 <3 <3

You only like it because it helps Spencer.

I like it because it shakes things up! I do like Spencer though, glad he'll be around longer. I was happy to see Tasha win immunity, too! She did it by making sentences out of the first letter of each color.

Here's something to chew on, tell me what you think.

I think this was especially bad for Kass. If she made it to the end her best story probably includes something like "I was a part of every big move that was made." She was out in the cold on this one -- I don't see how she can win at this point (that doesn't mean she can't, I just don't see it)

I don't think that Trish deserves any credit for what happened. Her closest ally in the game made a big move without her -- he felt he needed to do it enough to break that bond and leave her behind. Not only did he take this move over his alliance with her, but she couldn't tell he was going to do it and get in on the party when she had a great opportunity to do it. Now she has a lot of catching up to do. I mean, she's in a better spot than Jefra and whoever else didn't get to flip because maybe she can scramble and try to patch things up with Tony, but that's really not good and she could have prevented it. Just because she read that Tony wasn't truthful doesn't means he made the right move in the game.

New to this thread, but survivor fan (Russel was the best  ;D)

Personally, I think that Tony is going to be gone before the final four, because people are onto his manipulating the others, and nobody likes to be a pawn to a king. Not sure who's going to get voted off next. Something tells me Tony, Spencer, and Jeremiah (it's Jeremiah, right?) are going to form a tight-knit group at the end (if Tony makes it).

I'm rooting for Spencer, but Tony is like best TV ever and I hope he goes deep. At the very least he has made the game super entertaining for all of us, so yay Tony.
