I am sorry, I misunderstood.
If someone else is sick, they have not said. I am just concerned since we apparently still can get sick. Killing off the doctor was a mistake. He was no danger to anyone, and the only benefit to his death was a second food source. We can fish for ourselves, but I don't believe we can cure ourselves.
It is my feeling that LoRab wants to control access to food via her alliance to you. She knows you will not turn on her becasue that is not really part of your character. In addition to maneuvering it so that you got your food production power by the elimination of Faraday, she came out of the gate after the night post swinging at Sorsha, the other source of food besides fishing ourselves. Without a doctor, and in control of the other food source, she would sort of have us all by the shorts.
Perhaps she even did think we could not get sick, but she was wrong and now we are all in potential danger.
RIP All girls alliance

My strategy for asking questions would have been to ask a seemingly hostile question about a persons strategy/gameplay to see if they could defend it effectively.

This blow up is not a good look for SVS, unless it's somehow staged. LoRab's got experience not reacting well to being challenged (See: Mamana tribe)

Bold strategy to leak her own BTSC and prove she can't be trusted to keep that shit secret, lets see how that plays out.

I like SVS's move if Lorab really was trying to get DF out. I don't understand why anyone except Elo voted for the doctor- that seems short sighted.

I also am glad there is no bts. I think there should not be anymore bts in the game except for some special occasions. It forces them to discuss things as a group.

Steamrolling? This group? I don't know about that.
Should be a good match between Quin and Opt Outside tonight. There's really not many people left playing. I hope nobody dies in the challenge.

With DF gone, Elo now feels safe to use her poisoning power. She has poisoned Golden and LoRab with no clear way of them getting better.
Golden and LoRab are talking about SVS being too volatile and seriously considering voting her out next.

Yes. LoRab, Golden and Opt have BTSC together because they moved together in the night poll. SVS and Sorsha have BTsV because they explored together.
But there will be no BTSC tonight, even thought the people at the water well seem to be optimistic.

I just don't see how anyone could let that spree of posts from SVS slide. LoRab was incredibly paranoid in my interactions with her. Any whiff of anyone going at her and she was on that shit like mad.
SVS is too good a player to keep in the game for too long, and this is just as good an excuse as any to convince people to get her out.

The game right now are all heavy-hitting veterans of the game, so it's a good season to start in, though you might be in the dark with their play styles and reputations.
I'd recommend starting at the first episode though. It's only 3 episode in

So last night...
Quin discovered the location of the new buried idol, and went looking for it.
Golden copied Quin's power yesterday and also knew the location.
Opt moved LoRab to go search there secretly, but Quin ended up with the Idol.
Opt still has an idol in her possession that she secretly went to retrieve a couple days ago.
Now it just comes down to...will one or both of them play it tonight?

Yes. And it seems everyone seems to know this fact from BTSC Daaaaaays ago, and yet don't seem to find that threatening
On top of that, because Epi is dead, he can secretly select another option in the day poll.
People also are aware of that, and are seemingly willing to have a blind eye.
Hell, Golden found out Night 6 about the idol thing and shared with his alliance. And still, who do they vote out? speedchuck. I don't get it, man. That power can be gross. It's not like Quin is being too secretive about it either.

It's a sweet role, to be sure.
He hasn't actually utilized it to its full, overblown extent, either. Hell, he keeps going to the locations instead of secretly doing so.
In other news,
Sorsha received an item exploring the other night with SVS, which is a glorified version of notsawyer's role. Let's see how that affects everything...

Funny to hear Golden say that my blindside played a part in SVS's downfall. Golden repeatedly told me that we could trust SVS, and SVS turned her back on me the moment she got the chance to.
I wonder how differently things would have played out if she'd played along. I had no qualms about bringing her into the fold, and honestly LoRabs outbursts were weighing on me so if it came to it I would have/could have swapped LoRab for SVS. Though then again, if I were still in the thread after SVS's outburst that would have done her in IMO.

Opt told me she was getting nervous a few cycles ago with bringing Golden to the end, and is looking for a time to cut him loose without completing upending her game, should she lose immunity.
Getting pretty squirrely here at the end. I didn't bury another hidden immunity idol- the only one remaining
is the one in Quin's hands. He has until the final 5 tribal to use it. I think a good power play for Sorsha, Elo or Opt is to blindside him tonight, should he not win immunity, and then cut Golden loose either the day after or final 4.

See that's why they need people like me. The Negan King schtick was designed to build up loyalty and community.
TBH I doubt Lorab/Opt/Golden will flip on each other. I could be wrong, but at this stage you have to look at things as hard numbers, and the hard numbers say ride it out with your crew.

I've never watched the show though which might explain why.
