This didn't bother me so much. I wouldn't want the editors to blindside the audience every time, but it's good to mix it up sometimes. There's always a danger in getting too predictable.

I feel like both Jeremy and Josh have acted as narrators as times, but the editors aren't content to have anyone in particular do it. I'm also getting the feeling the winner…

I'm not sure Ciera's move is that dumb. It's risky since she could get voted out, but she decides it's worth it to try and become part of a top-three alliance. Her chances aren't great, but 1/3 isn't outlandish on her part.
