Well like I said if they let the Idol Recycling Quin through past tonight that's just silly. If he *wins*, that's even sillier.

Re: Spectator Thread
If I did have any criticisms of the game it would be that. I have to think it's no small coincidence that the guy whose power shows him where the hidden immunity idols are is the guy with the most hidden immunity idols all game.
(Also, shouldn't we be tapped out on immunity idols? IIRC Real Survivor doesn't have like, five idols.)

I'm amazed that Opt won immunity today. I'm also shocked at how little LoRab and Sorsha seemed to remember. Sorsha didn't even submit answers, so
The next challenge is the last challenge and incorporates every skill. This night poll is choosing which advantage they would like in the next challenge. Right now,Looks like one of Sorsha, Elo or LoRab will be going home tonight.Spoiler: show

The smart play here is to swallow that Opt betrayal and get out Sorsha and Quin. Quin first, then Sorsha. But we'll see how the immunity plays out.

I'm just seeing it from who I would give the vote to. Opt busted ass to stay in the game and that should be rewarded.
Also important to note is that Jury talk is just that, talk. Up until the votes are cast it's anybodies game.

Re: Spectator Thread
That's hyperbolic. Here's how I actually see it. I'll rank people based on who I think has the best chances of winning:
1. Opt
2. Lorab
3. Quin
4. Eloh
5. Sorsha
Opt has won competitions, stayed loyal to her people, made moves when she needed to, and kept her head down otherwise. If she makes it to the end, they have to give it to her.
LoRab has been working the social aspects of the game nonstop, keeping on her toes. Having such a good ear to the ground and building up relationships could take her to the end.
Quin made big plays but his big plays mean that anyone who takes him to the end deserves to lose because that would be a monstrous mistake. If he loses immunity tonight, he should go.
Eloh and Sorsha both haven't really been in on any of the gameplay or anything as far as I can see. they're at the bottom of my list because I figure the only way they're getting to the final 3 is if someone carries them across the finish line.

Opt! No you fool!
Turning on Golden was a huge blunder with Quin still in the game. Wow. And *AGAINST* Eloh and LoRab, the two players who have been campaigning on loyalty the most this whole game? What a shake up.
Sorsha/Quin/Opt versus Lorab/Eloh? Shit fire and save matches. Sorsha might float to final three all because Opt turned her coat? Man.

Unless they blindside Quin.
But she's been loyal throughout the game so even cut off from BTSC I don't see her backing a play against Golden or any Mamana. Quin and Sorsha are boned unless they can get a good idol play out of tonight, which means the four of LoRab/Golden/Opt/Eloh splitting the vote between Sorsha and Quin is the best play.

My strategy RE: Jury would have been to convince people within my circle of trust to make the plays I wanted them to make so that I could tell the jury one of two things either "I played a straight up and down game and had nothing to do with you getting the axe" or "I pulled strings, everyone knew that up front, and nobody took a shot at me"Scotty wrote:Generally this has been a popular strategy in Survivor- players look ahead to predict who had loyalties with who. The bitter jury is a real thing, and if you pissed off a jury member, no matter how cunning or respectable your gameplay otherwise, you're probably SOL with getting the votes. You'll find in seasons with weak strategy-minded people, the backstabbers get coal while the sweet, innocent "I didn't do anything in this game besides not pissing off some key people" player will win.DharmaHelper wrote:I dunno what the strategy is on Survivor, but on Big Brother a valid and potent strategy is to stack the jury with people who like you/liked your play by convincing the people around you to do the actual work of getting those people out of the game.
Not to say that that's happening here, because it's not. I actually find it refreshing to have players on the jury that have no preconception of what a winner should be. I think every player left still has a chance to win, if they can make a case for themselves.
I was careful in BTSC to use phrases like "I'll back your play" while also subtly pushing people to get them around to my way of thinking. Games like this, you gotta go brick by brick with your strategies.
As for who I think will win, if an Atamai makes it to a vote, I think the Jury gives it to them. If not, Golden has the best shot. Of Golden/LoRab/Opt, I think Lorab is least likely to win with SVS on the jury.
