Battle Royale - One castaway will be the first to drop out of the immunity challenge leaving their fate up to a game of "Do or Die" chance.
Enjoy the show!

 at Romeo sitting on his butt pilfering rice while the others gripe about it. Mike needs to hush before he gets on someone's radar. That said, I wouldn't mind that group being final five at all...but it won't happen. |

Jonathan's acting all hangry and irritating the others, plus he's feeling unappreciated because nobody's kissing his butt for doing "everything" around there. Get that man a Snickers.

Jonathan is hangry, and Romeo just keeps sneaking rice.
I'm so glad Lindsay got to stay, she's given it her all. Drea threw Omar's name out there, as the only one she told her secrets to. Playing both sides comes at a cost!
Loved the camaraderie between these players,it's a great way to leave the game. Mike's pulling some strings..lol.

I'm happy Lindsay stayed, too. And that Jonathan won immunity, but he needs to check the attitude. The look on Drea's face when Mike said NO! Crazy tribal.  |

Wow, I can't believe the "Do or Die" worked in the contestant's favor BOTH times it's been used. Then there's Hai over there saying "Swap! You always swap!" and I've read that's the best odds, that you should swap if they open up one and it's not the good one. But neither person did, and it worked out for them. Wow. I'm glad she got to stay. That was a funny exit. I liked how Drea addressed everyone, but only because it's not been done before (that I remember). If everyone starts doing that every time, it will get old fast, but for now, it was interesting to hear her takes on everyone. She threw some bombs out there, which may/may not detonate and put other's games at risk! It was also interesting how no one wanted to play for immunity besides Jonathan and Lindsay. I wonder what would've happened if only one person chose to play? Here's your necklace, you win! Maryanne is still a breath of fresh air out there! She seems to have fun and be open to the experience. I like her. Romeo, though, is such a bitter betty. Yeah, he's being left out and is a target by the big group, but instead of doing something about it, he sits and stews. He's wasting away too. I didn't begrudge Jonathan for his bad mood that day, because I'm sure they've all been short with each other and/or "hangry," but his just got shown on TV for all to see. He really HAS done a lot for them, it seems. They'll have to stop him from winning immunity sometime if they ever want to get rid of him, though. I agreed with Lindsay when he was being stubborn and not listening to her (last time?), so I sure don't see him getting the Winner's edit. He's nice to look at, but seems a bit difficult to get along with! Omar will likely find it harder and harder to hide, with fewer people around. Mike really owes him for saving him this time, but I wonder how he'll spin it. |

I think Mike is an idiot, claiming that he was totally responsible for voting out Hai last week. The man is so delusional thinking he is a power player and running the game.
The real power player in this game are Drea, Lindsey, and Omar.

For as aggressive and bullying Drea can be especially with Jonathan she handled the elimination very well. I am surprised more people don't drop bombs on the way out. |

This was a great episode tonight in my opinion. I like Lindsey and Jonathon. Yea he is whining and stuff but he wins when he needs too. I do hope they bring in new twists every year so the players wont know what to expect year after year.

Omar is not the only one playing multiple people, Lindsey and Drea were also doing it. Look what happened to Drea...  OK, don't try to play the game and be picked off. Play the game and be called playing both sides and get picked off. What is the difference? Be like Mike who thinks he is playing the game but actually being played. You make it sound like what Omar, Lindsey, and Drea are doing a bad thing, as if it is morally and ethically reprehensible. They are simply playing the game, they are Outwitting, Outplaying, Outlasting their opponents. It's not as if Mike's is not doing the same. How many people has he given a handshake to and promised he would take to the end and then voted out? Chanelle, Lydia, Rocksroy, Hai, Drea, and next week potentially Omar? |

I've said nothing but good things about Lindsay. Mike is playing his game, his way.I like him. Romeo is kvetching and not playing at all. |

Another great episode and another great exit. Drea was a lot of fun with it! And I loved seeing Jeff enjoy it.
I liked Drea ok, so not my first choice to go but not overly sad about it either since someone had to go and only 2 other people I really want gone (and one had immunity).

Romeo is kvetching and not playing at all. and this is the point both of us need to stop as it will end in an argument. The point I was trying to make is about the comment "playing both sides comes at a cost". All the players at some point in time play both sides, or even multiple sides in this game, even Mike is doing it by lying straight to Drea's face about including her in the final five but really plotting her elimination from the game. No one has gasped in outrage and stated they no longer like Mike and they don't like his game play but they do that in Omar's case. |

I am in the minority but Lindsey is getting too cocky for me and had a bad feeling she would choose the correct box. Not sad to see Drea go I am not crazy about most people who are still there. My favorite is Jonathan but he probably won’t win the next immunity so will be gone.

I was not a fan of Drea, her head was getting too big with all her advantages, but she was playing a good game. They had the chance to get her out and took it. Smart, she would have won if she made it to the end. I don't see this as being a bitter jury. I am liking this group of people. They are scheming, of course, but they also don't treat each other badly. I like that. It is just a game, no need to be horrible to one another.
I hope hope hope Omar does not have a target after what Drea said. The previews made it look like others were being targeted but you know how they manipulate the previews...

I hope hope hope Omar does not have a target after what Drea said. The previews made it look like others were being targeted but you know how they manipulate the previews... My initial impression of Drea was that she was playing the game hard, was ruthless in her decision making, and had the creepy villains laugh during many of her confessionals, was brutal in cutting off Romeo because of his paranoia, she does not want to babysit anyone, she wants a capable partner to play with. I was put off by her attitude during the game and during tribal, imagine my surprise when she dropped her game face and came across very nice and affable after she got eliminated. That changed my opinion about her but it's too late she is out of the game. I don't know if she would have won the game it depends who is sitting next to her in the final tribal council. If Omar, Lindsey, and Drea were the final three that would have been a tough pick. If Drea were sitting next to Mike and Jonathan for sure she wins. If Drea were sitting next to Maryanne or Romeo for sure she wins. With Three more Tribal Councils coming and assuming a final three and the last tribal council being just the final three it just screams at least one more double elimination. At this point in the game Romeo has a very good chance to get to the final three because he will be getting no votes and who wouldn't want to sit next to him because of that. Maryanne and Romeo are interchangeable at this point. |

Had to miss the show last night as I had a conflicting appointment, but I can see why they voted out Drea, especially given the situation. They couldn't vote out Jonathan or Lindsey, and there aren't a lot of obvious threats left. Drea has been holding onto a number of idols/advantages, and she and Maryanne have made it pretty clear that they won't vote each other out, which may have made the others feel it was strategically smart to get rid of one of them--and Drea seems more likely to win immunity than Maryann, whom they don't know has yet another immunity idol. I didn't particularly like or dislike Drea, but if it gets some of the advantages out of the game, good. I'm with those who think they've overloaded the game with too many kinds of advantages and idols.
BTW, at what point in the game do the idols/advantages expire, so to speak? They can't be valid for that much longer, can they?

She said she was going to keep it to herself but we know how that usually goes. She understands the game pretty well so I am hoping she really does keep it to herself. |

She still hasn't told anyone about her new immunity idol, and I coontinue to hope she doesn't. Again, only time I'm remembering, and it's been a long time since, it's in Heroes vs Villains, where Sandra told nobody about the idol she found, which she played on the final time an idol could be played, and that was in the Final 6. No clue if that has changed since, and I wish the show or Probst or someone would say. If it really is the Final 6, it could mean Maryann, if she senses she's not in danger, could pull off a big move and play her idol for the person in danger, thus saving them and blindsiding a big threat. |

Drea had one of the greatest exits in the history of this show! I think she played a great game overall, but she should not have told Omar about her Knowledge is Power advantage. The exact same thing happened last season with Liana/Xander.
But I'm actually glad the Knowledge is Power was not played correctly in both seasons because its actually a very annoying and unfair advantage to me and I really don't want to see it come back.
The Do or Die doesn't need to come back either, I am so glad that Lindsey survived it though and with Drea gone, Lindsey has an idol! So there are 3 idols in the game at Final 6 which is insane to me! I think if one idol is played in the next episode they all will get played.

I agree about the Do or Die. I would have been completely sad if Lindsey went home because of it. It just seems so unfair and makes no sense to me. She would have been punished for being competitive and brave. I mean, she threw down with that beast of a man!

With all the idols, amulets, and advantages in this season in addition to everyone's Shot In The Dark were they all necessary, did everyone use them, didn't players get eliminated with idols, amulets, and advantages in their pockets unused, as if they were all saving them for some special moment but that moment never came? Did having all the idols, amulets, and advantages make the players lazy and too dependent on those items? With all those idols, amulets, and advantages available production had to set up situations where players like Erica and Rocksroy were voted to Exile to be able to use the hourglass to rewrite history. Season 41 and 42 were a solution to being able to film and produce a season during the Covid 19 lockdown and interesting to watch, I do hope many of those new features introduced are not kept for future seasons. |
