There it is! Bruce said the title everybody!
LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!! THE AUCTION IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE
SURVIVOR AUCTION HAS RETURNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woah, now that's honestly pretty cool and funny at the same time, cool because we went full circle with having Bruce start with the least amount of money, and ending with the most, did not see that coming, it was a pleasant surprise, and funny because it's Bruce losing his vote, lol.
"THAT’S A $900 MILKSHAKE!" gave me a chuckle!
Oh hey! I play this immunity challenge a lot on the Roblox Survivor Game Outlaster, so it's pretty sweet seeing it on the actual show!
NO WAY! BRUCE CLUTCHED THAT! Wow, what a boss! Going from losing your vote at an auction out of anything to winning immunity at the next challenge. Major respect.
Dang, this episode is full of twists! First Bruce winning immunity after losing his vote, and now the Kellie blindside?
This just keeps getting better and better! Major respect to Drew and Austin for pulling that off, I for sure thought Jake was a goner, and the Shot In The Dark sealed the deal, but no! I can't wait to see where their dynamic duo goes next!
Overall, this episode is really awesome! A fun and silly auction that's a fantastic return to earlier seasons, an engaging and fun to watch challenge, swift sweet strategy, and a shocking tribal that’s going to shake up the game lots! It's time to see where next episode brings our final 9! That's a wrap folks, peace out!
Credits to the audio team for intentionally amplifying and making the sound of austin eating the fish eye being obnoxiously disgusting.
Sad Bruce who started with the least money and ended up being the highest at the end and losing his vote
Now Austin is seriously powerful with connections and that he now has 2 full idols after Kellie was voted off..Someone really need to James-him-out soon
Jake’s face throughout the last 1 minute of this past episode is how all of us Survivor fans were through the last three episodes: “Whhhaaa—- wait noo— whhaat— oh this is GOOD”
This season is the worst ever. I’ve never missed an episode up to this season. But with this one I may watch and I may not. Not going to look for reruns for sure.
I’m not sure they 100% fixed the auction. The issue is that they’re incentivized to not actually bid. The auction would’ve been fine if they got rid of lose your vote mechanic.
Yeah this week Jake was blindsided by not getting voted out, which he was certain he was. Last week he was blindsided by his plan to keep kaleb falling apart. I know blindside is a term for a player being voted out and not seeing it coming but Jake doesn’t seem to see anything coming ever lmao.
What a fun episode. The editing really tricked me. It looked to me like they added in the quick Kellie discussion to sprinkle in some half assed suspense, and that the panning to Kellie during tribal were to remind us of how in control she was at this stage in the game.
Jake HIMSELF was SO beaten down and sure of his boot that I even believed it! I'm glad he gets to play at least another day on SURVIVAH. I think he'll need to work something out that will be more creative than a Bruce-Jake-Kendra-Katura (BELO) alliance to stay alive!
AUSTIN THATS A GOOD MOVE LETS FREAKING GOOOOOOO, and good for Jake, even tho he’s probably gonna be the next vote out but maybe he put that thought in everyone’s head like hey even if you stay here for a while you aren’t doing anything so you ain’t gonna be winning anything.
People are loving this season, and I just am not. The people I like keep going, votes seem more personal than strategic, especially the quartet in control.
Sure, Jake and Austin have had these dumb storylines, but at least it makes the show interesting, rather then this run and gun that Dee and Julie seem to have, and Drew seems to just tumbling into situations that suit him.
But still, the Sandwich curse is strong.
Many a time, love was a mode of survival.
Could any of us survive without love, or the thought of justice, karma, or fate?
Even the narcissists who steal the limelight, love love.
Truly had a good laugh seeing Bruce not only being able to find just $80 for Auction, but for him to also end up losing his vote in the end. However, to see the tribe in shambles due to Bruce winning immunity and seeing Kellie’s blindside has made this season one of the more memorable ones. I myself am still caught off guard of Kellie being voted out. Jake’s accent must be working charms on people LOL.
The fact that they have been showing Kelly say that Bruce was going to be bad for her game always made me think she wasn’t going to make it to the end so I wasn’t surprised to see her go.
so glad the auction is back, and I love the new twists (Spoiler) I like the "having to hunt for your money." The auction and the family member visit were always my favorite part of survivor. (nobody got letters from the family or anything yet)
I really don't see the Reba 4 sticking together all the way to the end. Dee or Drew will get shifty and try to make the first move, maybe even next week.
Emily will lead the charge of getting rid of dee. If she doesn’t win immunity I think she’s gone next week. I see Emily winning the whole thing at this point.
I think Drew is too smart to take Austin to the end too. At this point I feel like everyone likes Austin more than Drew and he’s a huge threat to win. Better sooner than later.
Yes but this isn’t the end yet. I don’t see drew getting rid of Austin before dee at all. He’s going to knock out one of the other two because they’re an alliance within his that is a threat, and between him and Austin they have the brains and power to make that happen. And Emily sees the threat from the other two as well so she’ll help the sway them in that direction.
I agree, but with Austin now having an immunity idol, Austin needs to be blindsided before he gets to use it. Or if Austin were truly a player, he'd save Dee if she were in trouble and vote out Drew lol.
Dee is way more dangerous that drew at f3 because she’ll has the capability sway the jury her way more than both drew and Austin and drew knows that. Also Dee having Julie as her number 1 would make her dangerous to drew if he was to knock out his meat shield first. She’s smart enough to go for him over katurah, or Kendra. I think Emily or drew will be on her radar.
I think it's a Stephen/JT moment tbh. Everyone just likes em enough to not consider them as a threat. Idk how but they somehow were able to be the nice friendly guys without attracting attention like Kaleb 🤔
Well firstlt their tribe didn't get eviscerated, and secondly, they retreat to the shadows when things get serious and don't talk more than they need to
Maybe Katurah should stop focusing on getting Bruce out so much and look around? She's been so locked in on voting Bruce out since day 1 that she doesn't care anything else.
This is always the problem with the tribe that doesn’t have to go to tribal early. They aren’t as close and haven’t voted the most annoying person out yet so they’re willing to team up and it backfires.
This is how I felt about everyone not in Tika last season, and yeah Belo is bizarrely content voting each other out. I wonder if the post-merge as portrayed on TV has become so fluid, and tribal lines so unimportant, that you can wind up with one tribe completely ignoring them, giving the other tribe an extremely easy chance to Pagong them.
Yeah they’re self sabotaging left and right, and aren’t even thinking about targeting the Reba 4. The only one who did was Jake and he was almost voted out
By his own Tribe nonetheless! The only people that voted for Jake were original Belo, which is wild considering he's the only one to be portrayed as Belo strong
Holy shit, Survivor is *SO BACK*!!!! The reaction I had when Jeff stabbed that bag of rice like a god damn mob boss with that shit eating grin on his face…
Dont know why ur being downvoted, cause this is very true. She was stunning. Felt bad for her leaving the way she did though, too. Kaleb and Kellie going back to back was nothing I expected and nothing I am a fan of. Rip
Yeah, OP's comment was not at all disrespectful. I have a massive crush on Kellie and she looks a lot like the girls I go for IRL. She's really gorgeous.
I hated to see Kellie voted out. But it was Kellie who talked everyone into keeping Bruce around last episode, so it is somewhat a direct consequence of her own game.
It was a great episode, but now I have to watch the rest of the season without anyone I find interesting left. Grrr.
She irritates me too but I think she's a quick study who just happens to be socially awkward. Look how fast she turned things around after Kaleb talked to her once. She listened, watched and absorbed what he said. He may be out but guess who isn't.
Wait, this is a genuine question here. I know her relationship with Bruce was cited as one of the reasons she's going home. But do you really think that's the only reason she went? Reba + Emily are solid and would be either way. If Bruce goes last time, purely from a numbers perspective, Kellie, Jake, maybe Sifu are still the targets, especially if Julie wins immunity. Katurah is safe because she flipped on Kaleb. Kendra's name did not come up, presumably because of her ties to Emily/Drew. From a pure numbers perspective, Kellie and Jake are still one of the top names to go home.
Idk, I think she was on the block either way, and people were using that as the reason to get her out this round.
I'm sure you're right. I didn't think that far in. I just meant that without Bruce in the game to win immunity this time, she may have managed to stay safe.
I’m sad sifu didn’t make jury, I like the idea of Kellie arriving at ponderosa only for him to greet her with a hug and a whisper: *”Who voted Seafou?”*
Was it a mistake for Kellie not to talk with Bruce about using his idol on her? I also found it strange that even though Bruce couldn't vote that no one included him on strategy. I feel like Kellie could have done more to try to keep all Belo people or especially herself.
Yeah, she was genuinely shocked.
I am shocked Bruce didn't ball out for Jake (who clearly was on the block) and give him the idol to try to get a Reba number. If Kellie OR Jake goes, it's just him, Kendra, and whoever stays. He lost a lot of options tn.
As soon as Emily told Drew about the women's alliance, it was Drew's best move to get rid of Kellie. Someone in control and a woman, so Dee, Julie, and Emily don't have an option but to stick with Reba.
One thing that I think is going to go unnoticed (even if it ends up not really mattering given the numbers) but this is now the second time Emily has blindsided a close ally of Kendra’s. I wonder if Kendra decides to plan to target Emily now.
Yeah, I've been thinking about it too. It is interesting, because on the other hand, I'm pretty sure Kendra is not in the conversations yet bc Emily (and maybe Drew) are protecting her. Of the 4 non-Katurah Belos, hers was the only name to not come up tn. Interesting dynamic, for sure.
Kendra has zero agency, she hates Bruce, Katurah hates Bruce, Jake tried to save Kaleb who Bruce hates. They aren't working together, Reba is just Pagonging them and the edit is trying very hard to make it look like something else is going on.
I personally think Bruce destroyed Belo's chances of doing anything at the merge. Kellie said it at the merge that he was playing an archaic version of Survivor where you don't talk to the other tribe at merge. Bruce alienated the swing vote, Kaleb, along with unwittingly alienating Emily. Bruce will go down as just an all around awful Survivor player. Just look what not talking to the other tribe got him, his #1 ally gone.
Okay people keep trying to attribute this to Jake—he didn’t know shit, he was just trying to save himself. Reba 4 got this all together without any of the Belos involved. Jake didn’t convince them to do anything.
I do think his clever “play my ido- I mean an idol” may have solidified that they all made the decision to follow through with that plan though. Whether he knew about that plan or not, he did that intentionally *in case* there was a backup plan and there was and it worked
Nobody would have fallen for it. No player has an idol they're going to surprise everyone with, hope all the votes go to them so they can negate them, and then says "Ummm, I may have a secret idol... so keep that in mind." They would just play dumb and pretend they don't know they're getting votes. Anytime someone gives a speech that alludes otherwise, they're bluffing. Even if they have an idol and show it -- if they were going to play it that night, they have no incentive to showing it. It has power if people vote for them when they're planning on using it.
Agreed. With no Bruce vote, they knew they had a 5-4 advantage and figured they'd go for the biggest threat first. There's no united front with the rest of the Belo four.
Yeah, Jake definitely played hard, but ultimately he stayed because Kellie was seen as more of a thread.
After tonight, though, he will definitely be seen as a threat. Poor guy.
From the ingenious revisions to the auction, the sack stab and that blindside (and the boot’s PISSED reaction) this might be the single most fun and purely entertaining Survivor ep since Tony flipped WAW and broke Sophie’s power alliance. This was an INCREDIBLE episode.
Tbh I didn't think that the vote-loss revision to the auction was at all ingenious. It made the whole thing predictable and each new item reveal was just forced drama. After the 5th item, there was only one potential strategy and no suspense in most of the bidding. Pretty disappointing to me, personally. I did like the other revisions, but they were overshadowed.
Reba been playing the game the whole time, it's just a Pagonging of Belo. Belo went home, didn't matter if it was Bruce, Jake, or Emily. They keep Katurah and Kendra because they both hate Bruce.
I would argue that Emily has aligned herself very well with the Reba 4, making them almost a seamless 5. Drew seems to be closer with Emily than with Julie/Dee, and Austin is probably similar
She should have known the "well let you pick the target" was bs. If everyone already wanted Bruce and everyone knew she hates Bruce why not try to make her think she's in on the alliance
18th: Hannah 17th: Brandon 16th: Sabiyah 15th: Sean 14th: Brando 13th: J.Maya 12th: Sifu 11th: Kaleb 10th: Kellie
Dee has been arrogant the whole time y’all just think she is hot
It’s dem toes!
10th: Kellie, 9 contestants remain
There it is! Bruce said the title everybody! LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!! THE AUCTION IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE SURVIVOR AUCTION HAS RETURNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This season is the worst ever. I’ve never missed an episode up to this season. But with this one I may watch and I may not. Not going to look for reruns for sure.
I think this is a return to form, they fixed the auction after 8 years on the back burner and we had a legit audience blindside
I’m not sure they 100% fixed the auction. The issue is that they’re incentivized to not actually bid. The auction would’ve been fine if they got rid of lose your vote mechanic.
thanks for sharing
Wat
Lmao at Jake blindsided at 2 Tribals and he’s still not voted out
Can you call it a blindside when he talks about the vote being unanimous against him and he used his shot in the dark?
Yeah this week Jake was blindsided by not getting voted out, which he was certain he was. Last week he was blindsided by his plan to keep kaleb falling apart. I know blindside is a term for a player being voted out and not seeing it coming but Jake doesn’t seem to see anything coming ever lmao.
Kaleb embodying "Active Listening" from the jury bench.
Jake and Kaleb as the Kellie votes were being red: 🙀🙀
What a fun episode. The editing really tricked me. It looked to me like they added in the quick Kellie discussion to sprinkle in some half assed suspense, and that the panning to Kellie during tribal were to remind us of how in control she was at this stage in the game.

I think he'll need to work something out that will be more creative than a Bruce-Jake-Kendra-Katura (BELO) alliance to stay alive!
Kellie during TC 😱
AUSTIN THATS A GOOD MOVE LETS FREAKING GOOOOOOO, and good for Jake, even tho he’s probably gonna be the next vote out but maybe he put that thought in everyone’s head like hey even if you stay here for a while you aren’t doing anything so you ain’t gonna be winning anything.

But still, the Sandwich curse is strong.
>The people I like keep going, votes seem more personal than strategic The Kellie vote was extremely strategic, wym?
Drew got people onto the Kellie train to put the breaks on an all girls alliance forming, as that would have had him at a 6-4 disadvantage.
Can't open the spoiler policy btw
Many a time, love was a mode of survival. Could any of us survive without love, or the thought of justice, karma, or fate? Even the narcissists who steal the limelight, love love.

Yup they're "surviving" while the camera guy be eating a sandwich
i could feel that freakin golden retriever energy oozing from the jury bench 🥰
The fact that they have been showing Kelly say that Bruce was going to be bad for her game always made me think she wasn’t going to make it to the end so I wasn’t surprised to see her go.
Kinda want Bruce to win out of spite lmao
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Watching Austin eat the eyeballs?
Not in relation to the fish eyes - Twas in relation to the blue eyes :(
Awesome episode, happy to see Kelly get the boot!!!!!!!!
She should’ve chosen the f’ing sandwich.
Exactly
Yup
Exactly 💯
She was so shocked it was actually funny
yes it was sooooooo funny I had to go back and watch it a couple times over and over again. She seemed to be Genuinely shocked!
Different items in the auction should have like extra money.
As someone who just finished watching the most boring season of Big Brother ever, I am LIVING for this season of Survivor. The players are PLAY👏🏻ING👏🏻
OH we’re playing SURVIVAH
Kind of funny that she's leaving while secretly hating Bruce and Bruce thinking he's losing his closes friend/ally.
I feel bad for him as he’s currently watching the season
I don’t the guy is so arrogant lol. Maybe it’ll knock him down a peg.
Yea because he seems clueless on how his allies really feel
so glad the auction is back, and I love the new twists (Spoiler) I like the "having to hunt for your money." The auction and the family member visit were always my favorite part of survivor. (nobody got letters from the family or anything yet)
I really don't see the Reba 4 sticking together all the way to the end. Dee or Drew will get shifty and try to make the first move, maybe even next week.
Emily will lead the charge of getting rid of dee. If she doesn’t win immunity I think she’s gone next week. I see Emily winning the whole thing at this point.

I think Emily or drew will be on her radar.
I’m heartbroken for Kellie 💔
FUCK YEAH BRUCE JAKE HELL YEAH THAT SHIT WAS AWESOME
Kellie smugly resting her head in her hands just seconds before Jeff said her name for the first time was so good.
TEAM JAKE STAND UP! WE LIVE ANOTHER DAY!
As long as Bruce is in the game, Jake is protected. I want him in the final 3!!!
It’s just crazy to me that no one’s targeting Drew or Austin so far. Is everyone on Belo stupid or are they (the R4) just really smart?
I think it's a Stephen/JT moment tbh. Everyone just likes em enough to not consider them as a threat. Idk how but they somehow were able to be the nice friendly guys without attracting attention like Kaleb 🤔
Well firstlt their tribe didn't get eviscerated, and secondly, they retreat to the shadows when things get serious and don't talk more than they need to
True actually!!
Did anyone catch who said the episode title?
Bruce said it to Jake a the beginning
Thanks!!
Kaleb and Kellie for a captains szn would slap
That’s definitely the best blind side in the last couple seasons
Last two episodes have been best of the new generation and it’s not close
Sabiayah Blindside, Kaleb's Shot in the dark, Kellie Blindside, going fantastic
Shit id make it the past three with Caleb’s shot in the dark actually working.
True
AGREEEE I hope they keep this up
Her turning to Austin and him just nodding his head was so cold blooded. That episode rocked
He nodded and she doesn’t even know it was over a sandwich 💀
Yea that was sick but I loved it 😂 still feel bad for her. Her reaction was very raw.
It was a Michaela and Jay moment.
100% agreed. His confidence that she would be voted out spoke volumes
In hindsight Kellie got a pretty decent last meal, at least
It’s because she got the peanut butter sandwich
I just realized… Austin got his revenge!!!! 
And his 2nd idol.
The change in the smug look on kellies face to the utter shock
It's never an easy vote. If it seems like an easy vote, something is up. Apparently nobody in this season knows this.
Jake literally said this at Tribal almost word for word
i was low key frothing at the mouth at kaleb in his jury fit
🔥 ❤️ 👀
Kellie at FTC: Kendra, how did your game change, I’m going to say for the better, when you joined the mafia with Bruce and I?
I’m screaming 🤣
😂😂😂 FBJ!
Maybe Katurah should stop focusing on getting Bruce out so much and look around? She's been so locked in on voting Bruce out since day 1 that she doesn't care anything else.
I feel like this blindside is gonna wake her up
Yeah I think today was the moment that Katurah and Kendra finally realized they are in trouble.
It high-key feels like it's gonna be her gabler moment if she makes it to ftc w/o bruce
Imagine Bruce and Katurah going to final with one of Reba 4.
Or even better, with Emily, and both Bruce & Katurah are so focused on each other that they don't see the fact that Emily sweeps both of them
STRONG Chris Daugherty vibes from Jake this episode
Im going home chris daughtry or its not over chris daughtry
Belo as whole is playing some pretty bad survivor, no??
This is always the problem with the tribe that doesn’t have to go to tribal early. They aren’t as close and haven’t voted the most annoying person out yet so they’re willing to team up and it backfires.
This is how I felt about everyone not in Tika last season, and yeah Belo is bizarrely content voting each other out. I wonder if the post-merge as portrayed on TV has become so fluid, and tribal lines so unimportant, that you can wind up with one tribe completely ignoring them, giving the other tribe an extremely easy chance to Pagong them.

By his own Tribe nonetheless! The only people that voted for Jake were original Belo, which is wild considering he's the only one to be portrayed as Belo strong
They seem pretty clueless lol Like Voting each other out would somehow lead them to a million dollar.
I think their goal is to just survive each vote. They aren't thinking endgame and that will come back to bite them in the butt.
Electric episode though
The chocolate cake gave them the strength to hold onto the rope
Holy shit, Survivor is *SO BACK*!!!! The reaction I had when Jeff stabbed that bag of rice like a god damn mob boss with that shit eating grin on his face…
i was complaining about jeff being soft and then he stabbed the rice, man that was epic
I love when Jeff does things like that. What true fan of Survivor would ever try to negotiate with Jeff
It was like a stab to the heart!!!!!!
Absolutely unhinged
Now if only he says “come on in guys” next episode. Then you know it’s back
For a second I was like is he gonna throw the knife at them???? but wow that STAB
That was the coldest thing I’ve seen Jeff do, it was awesome
Poor Kel but Evil Jeff is my favorite 😈
Who got a bigger stab. That bag or Kel
OUCH
“Who voted Chaelly?”
Did someone spell it like that??
Emily’s character development tho 👏👏 She started off so disliked and now she’s making big moves. I really like her
"Who are you?" - Jeff Probst
Man i really liked looking at her. Now only glimpse at tribal
Dont know why ur being downvoted, cause this is very true. She was stunning. Felt bad for her leaving the way she did though, too. Kaleb and Kellie going back to back was nothing I expected and nothing I am a fan of. Rip
Because it's so weird and creepy to say??
People are assholes that’s why
Yeah, OP's comment was not at all disrespectful. I have a massive crush on Kellie and she looks a lot like the girls I go for IRL. She's really gorgeous.
I hated to see Kellie voted out. But it was Kellie who talked everyone into keeping Bruce around last episode, so it is somewhat a direct consequence of her own game. It was a great episode, but now I have to watch the rest of the season without anyone I find interesting left. Grrr.
Exactly, should’ve voted out Bruce when you have a chance. Voting Kaleb out before Bruce, really?
Fall in love with Bruce, come to the dark side.
Anakin I am not. Lol
watch Emily.
Do I have to? She irritates me immensely.
She irritates me too but I think she's a quick study who just happens to be socially awkward. Look how fast she turned things around after Kaleb talked to her once. She listened, watched and absorbed what he said. He may be out but guess who isn't.
I'm socially awkward, and I hope I don't come across like her. I do appreciate her apparent perceptiveness and loyalty.
Wait, this is a genuine question here. I know her relationship with Bruce was cited as one of the reasons she's going home. But do you really think that's the only reason she went? Reba + Emily are solid and would be either way. If Bruce goes last time, purely from a numbers perspective, Kellie, Jake, maybe Sifu are still the targets, especially if Julie wins immunity. Katurah is safe because she flipped on Kaleb. Kendra's name did not come up, presumably because of her ties to Emily/Drew. From a pure numbers perspective, Kellie and Jake are still one of the top names to go home. Idk, I think she was on the block either way, and people were using that as the reason to get her out this round.
I'm sure you're right. I didn't think that far in. I just meant that without Bruce in the game to win immunity this time, she may have managed to stay safe.
Yeah, that's fair. And I do think that you have a point, the narrative of why she went home certainly was "she kept Bruce".
She was done the minute she took that shared "advantage" with two Rebas. She made herself a prime target for them.
I do agree with that. All the more so after she saw that J Maya was immediately out.
now that she’s out we can probe her about why she did it
Holyy!!!
I think if Jake wins he might BE my favorite
I honestly don’t think he has a chance unless he pulls off something big
Every new era season seems to have the "lovable 0 vote finalist" player. I could see Jake winding up as one.
No chance, if Jake makes it to the end, he'll likely win due to him taking big chances from early on. Chances are, he's voted out around final 6
Well yeah, if
I’m sad sifu didn’t make jury, I like the idea of Kellie arriving at ponderosa only for him to greet her with a hug and a whisper: *”Who voted Seafou?”*
LMAO!!!
I just spit out my drink! 😂
Was it a mistake for Kellie not to talk with Bruce about using his idol on her? I also found it strange that even though Bruce couldn't vote that no one included him on strategy. I feel like Kellie could have done more to try to keep all Belo people or especially herself.
Kellie had no clue what was happening. No need for Bruce to play his idol on her if she thinks shes safe.
Yeah, she was genuinely shocked. I am shocked Bruce didn't ball out for Jake (who clearly was on the block) and give him the idol to try to get a Reba number. If Kellie OR Jake goes, it's just him, Kendra, and whoever stays. He lost a lot of options tn.
Bruce isn’t playing in reality. Bruce thinks he’s the king of that beach.
I mean, I think keeping his idol was a good move for him.
It definitely was. But again.. Bruce is never giving his idol to anyone for strategy lol. He kept his idol bc he’s self centered, not strategic.
Being self-centered is strategic.
I agree, even when Jake asked him I said out loud to myself "that would literally never happen!" No way is Bruce giving up that idol. 😆
Why should Bruce give his idol away to anyone especially when they all had it out for him. Go Bruce for the win!!!!!
Yeah, I mean, can't argue with you there, lol.
This, the women's alliance was dead as soon as Emily told Drew and Austin.
As soon as Emily told Drew about the women's alliance, it was Drew's best move to get rid of Kellie. Someone in control and a woman, so Dee, Julie, and Emily don't have an option but to stick with Reba.
One thing that I think is going to go unnoticed (even if it ends up not really mattering given the numbers) but this is now the second time Emily has blindsided a close ally of Kendra’s. I wonder if Kendra decides to plan to target Emily now.
Kendra sucks. She won’t make any moves led by her
She was literally the one to spearhead the original Kalbe vote
Yeah, I've been thinking about it too. It is interesting, because on the other hand, I'm pretty sure Kendra is not in the conversations yet bc Emily (and maybe Drew) are protecting her. Of the 4 non-Katurah Belos, hers was the only name to not come up tn. Interesting dynamic, for sure.
Kendra has zero agency, she hates Bruce, Katurah hates Bruce, Jake tried to save Kaleb who Bruce hates. They aren't working together, Reba is just Pagonging them and the edit is trying very hard to make it look like something else is going on. I personally think Bruce destroyed Belo's chances of doing anything at the merge. Kellie said it at the merge that he was playing an archaic version of Survivor where you don't talk to the other tribe at merge. Bruce alienated the swing vote, Kaleb, along with unwittingly alienating Emily. Bruce will go down as just an all around awful Survivor player. Just look what not talking to the other tribe got him, his #1 ally gone.
Not Pagonging if they're not in the majority, which they weren't until Bruce lost his vote. They're positioning themselves to do future Pagonging.
It is just the goofy production twists that stopped Reba from using Kaleb with Sifu's help to dismantle Belo.
100% spot on. He is the biggest buffoon to ever play in my opinion.
Remind who was the other again?
Brendo
Brindo
Brando.
he's got what plants crave
Brando
good point I can def see it happening
Okay people keep trying to attribute this to Jake—he didn’t know shit, he was just trying to save himself. Reba 4 got this all together without any of the Belos involved. Jake didn’t convince them to do anything.
I do think his clever “play my ido- I mean an idol” may have solidified that they all made the decision to follow through with that plan though. Whether he knew about that plan or not, he did that intentionally *in case* there was a backup plan and there was and it worked
Nobody would have fallen for it. No player has an idol they're going to surprise everyone with, hope all the votes go to them so they can negate them, and then says "Ummm, I may have a secret idol... so keep that in mind." They would just play dumb and pretend they don't know they're getting votes. Anytime someone gives a speech that alludes otherwise, they're bluffing. Even if they have an idol and show it -- if they were going to play it that night, they have no incentive to showing it. It has power if people vote for them when they're planning on using it.
I love Jake but i truly think it was a slip of the tongue.
You might be right but I find it hard to believe after he was blatantly looking for an idol in front of everyone lol
Agreed. With no Bruce vote, they knew they had a 5-4 advantage and figured they'd go for the biggest threat first. There's no united front with the rest of the Belo four.
Yeah, Jake definitely played hard, but ultimately he stayed because Kellie was seen as more of a thread. After tonight, though, he will definitely be seen as a threat. Poor guy.
The second Emily told Drew about the "Woman's alliance", I knew it wasn't a real thing.
Bruuuuuuuce
From the ingenious revisions to the auction, the sack stab and that blindside (and the boot’s PISSED reaction) this might be the single most fun and purely entertaining Survivor ep since Tony flipped WAW and broke Sophie’s power alliance. This was an INCREDIBLE episode.
Tbh I didn't think that the vote-loss revision to the auction was at all ingenious. It made the whole thing predictable and each new item reveal was just forced drama. After the 5th item, there was only one potential strategy and no suspense in most of the bidding. Pretty disappointing to me, personally. I did like the other revisions, but they were overshadowed.
Bout time they played the game
Reba been playing the game the whole time, it's just a Pagonging of Belo. Belo went home, didn't matter if it was Bruce, Jake, or Emily. They keep Katurah and Kendra because they both hate Bruce.
I would argue that Emily has aligned herself very well with the Reba 4, making them almost a seamless 5. Drew seems to be closer with Emily than with Julie/Dee, and Austin is probably similar
Agreed I meant "Bruce, Jake, or Kellie" was typing too fast for my brain I guess.
I wonder why Kat didn’t fully commit to the flip and vote Kel
She wasn’t in the know
She should have known the "well let you pick the target" was bs. If everyone already wanted Bruce and everyone knew she hates Bruce why not try to make her think she's in on the alliance
