I wonder if they would have aired that had Woo won the game.

I'm glad Tony won, but I thought his Final Tribal performance was atrocious. I think he was probably going to win regardless (which is a credit to his game). He hemmed and hawed and never took total control over his game. Can anybody think of a winner with a worse final performance?

Stay classy, Ghosts!

So… best newbie season ever?

HA!

Tyson was not a contestant on Colton's second season.

I just watched that season for the first time a month or two ago; it may have been the editing, but Chris did a masterful job of manipulating the ladies, and he did superbly at FTC. I think he's about the midpoint in the winner rankings, maybe higher.

Does he know who watches his show?

Between Tony and Spencer, who will Trish vote for? Does she know Tony voted for her?

Actually, if anyone decided tonight's vote, it's Tony. He could have given Trish his idol and ensured Kass went home. But instead he voted for his most trusted ally.

Yeah, but that's only if producers choose to answer. And if they know that one player is planning on lying about it, they may decline to answer to amp up the drama.

I will be ticked off at the producers if that's the case. the Superidol is already overpowered; ambiguous rules is a step too far.

Well, she wasn't going to win doing what she did for the last six episodes, so it's not like causing mayhem can hurt her. That's the closest I can get to a logical rationale. We know she's not tops when it comes to self-awareness.

Slide puzzles are something where if you've done a couple in the last six months, it'll be infinitely easier. If you dont know how to solve them, it's going to take a lot longer.

Another possibility is that because they didn't need loved ones for the other season this cycle (BvW), they just decided to save money on the fixed costs, rooms and people needed to accommodate family members.

I was gratified that for the first time this season, Tony's gameplay caught up with him when Kass spilled the beans to Woo immediately after Tony promised to bring her to the final three. I'd love to know what exactly was going through Kass's mind at that point. Is she just trying to build up strategy points with…

There were no Loved Ones challenges in Samoa or Fiji. The absence of loved ones in Fiji was due to a military coup in Fiji during filming.

Yeah, there's gotta be something we didn't see. If he'd wanted her to stay, he could have given her his spare idol. Instead, he played it on himself and kept the super idol so he could use it as a ruse next week.

I get the feeling Trish had been practicing for that argument with Kass for decades.
