I honestly can't remember anyone ever having revealed an idol on another player upon being voted out. Certainly hasn't happened in recent seasons. Surprising, I think.

Agreed on all points. This was a power move for Carolyn.

How could you not update Rodney's stock? Did you not know it was his BIRTHDAY?!

Her game was NOT good. But she was definitely entertaining television.

Is it just me, or does it feel like the quote above is something Tommy Wiseau would say, anyway? I mean…

Turned it off and deleted the recording two minutes into the finale. After all that mess, and the even messier other case, I'm out with that verdict.

Don't know what to tell you. Great mix of players and pawns. Fun pre-merge, rocking post-merge. Some hilarious stuff. Killer strategies, including some that should never have worked but made the season better for having done so. Lots of memorable personalities who also managed to be frequently likable, or at least…

Ah, the magic Not-a-Jerk Scorpion.

Hey, nobody ever said what C stood for.

As a regular board game player, that is one of the most frustrating things to deal with. Some people just can't leave emotion at the water's edge or see simple logic.

Yeah, at this point, the only thing getting me through is the idea Mike wins the season. No one else deserves it.

Of his many bluffs and misdirects, this was undoubtedly the best one.

Provided Mike wins (and what other options are there, really?), I don't think we should quite couch his win in the same terms as Kim's. Mike has at least had some opposition, even if it was from the Asshat Brigade.

So… this season is full of unlikable people trucking on to the end. I'll say that Sierra, at least has not been terribly unlikable, nor has Tyler. (EDIT: Oh right, Carolyn has been generally dismissive of the masses and a complete bore to the booted players.) But they haven't done much to really scream for jury votes…

I hope so? He's the only one left I think I could root for. That move tonight will catch a lot of flak for not saving his one remaining ally, but this keeps him in the game one more week, and it exposes real cracks, while he remains a constant threat to win immunity.

I don't think Dan has the awareness to understand he'd lose to some of these people, particularly Shirin or Jenn.

I love the Extra Vote twist. It's purely strategic, because you can use it and still be overwhelmingly voted off. It offers a LOT of different strategic options for its use, especially starting as a secret. LOVE IT.

Wow, their lampshades budget must be ridiculously high. They're just hanging those things everywhere this week.
