It's possible. But I probably just absorbed your points and assumed they were mine. (But no, I totally knew I picked up the scorpion/frog thing elsewhere. Couldn't quite place it).

It's like the frog getting mad at the scorpion at this point.

I think multiple flips might actually help him. It shows that nothing is personal for him.

Not all of it.

I argued that she should've flipped anyway and risked rocks, like Ciera did last season. Without flipping, she had no resume for actually winning.

Interesting…

D'oh!

Tony even did initially try to dismiss it, even the way it ended up. But couldn't help himself.

I think Tasha has that plan as well, but didn't stick to it as well. She actually big on an item early, which would've cost her. Maybe she was trying to price enforce until she thought better of that strategy.

Right. Vytas didn't have any reward challenges his season.

Agreed that they don't, but players often still can't get past the idea of muscles = threat. And maybe there's a cause/effect going there, in that muscle-y guys haven't done well in individual immunity challenges because they've been taken out before they could.

Right, but he had two idols and only three TCs to play them. Have some faith in yourself that you can win an immunity in one of those three and play an idol just because!

Colby?

Is there a rule? Probably. But we'll never know until it happens.

…

I think @avclub-d9c9a056f6052ffbfa3526be3478d45e:disqus nailed it tho: while I agree that in the end, the idol isn't going to matter as much as we think it will, right now, it has eliminated the potential for Tony's exit in our minds. What should be a driving tension for the show has been taken away.

Not only is it the only game he knows how to play, it might be the only game a player like him could hope to be successful in. You don't get to play under the radar if you're the brawniest guy out there. You'll be a target regardless, so you may as well stay on offence.

It's why bad beats occur in poker. You can do everything right and still lose and everything wrong and still win.

Not if you were co-hosting with me.

So, by the scoring of our little game here, Kass is the worst fantasy Survivor player of all-time, right? This is a spectacularly bad showing when she can't even get attendance points.
