It's interesting how little awareness he had of his impact on his tribe mates. It's one thing to be an ass because you're hungry and tired, but it's another to be so lacking in self-awareness that you don't realize everyone on your tribe is fed up with you.

Yes I was glad to see him go but for our games sake I wish it was one of my pervious picks. They have been mixing things up so much it makes it hard to get into a flow for picking. I will be glad after the merge and if I get through that round then at least there will be no more shuffling around and mixing of people.

Week 5 Donathan Hurley

Week 6 Kellyn Bechtold

Week 7 Michael Yerger

In what may go down as the second dumbest move in survivor history, Chris goes home with an idol in his pocket.

How could he not see that coming?

I am almost out of choices. Not one of my choices has been voted out.

He was sure he was running things, and not one person voted the way he wanted. And didn't play the idol that was only good for 2 weeks after Dominick played his. He truly is an idiot.

Good episode. Yeah that Chris is such a pompous ass I am actually not surprised he did that. He was so arrogant and so self unaware. I was a little nervous about the Mike pick when right at the beginning they talked about targeting him. I was also afraid he might go home with an idol in his pocket. But he seems to be playing very well for an 18 year old. I think I'm down to six pics. and still have only one of my old pics voted off.

Well played Michael.

Though I needed him to go. None of my picks have been voted off.

Yeah, I forgot he had an idol when I made the pick. Much safer than I thought at the time.

You were probably sweating bullets until he pulled the idol. Yeah I was really hoping one of my picks would be voted off ( looked like Wendell could have gone ) then Libby, Libby, Libby. I have to think about next week... may have to go with a timed risky move.

Finally, one of my picks voted off.

I liked her post vote clip. 'How did they know I was lying?' Ummm, the four other people saying they heard you say it would be a good place to start.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

Yeah she imploded quickly. She wanted to make a big move... she did. She moved herself right into the jury.

Looks like they are voting off two next week. One pick for the episode?

I only have two picks left so I am biased to only one pick next week.

It wasn't such a bad move - lots of people on the bottom try this exact same thing when it comes down to 3 or 4 of the other tribe/alliance.

Her problem was twofold:

1. She didn't know about the secret alliance between Dom/Wendell and Donathan/Laurel.
   
2. After her plan got out she doubled down on it, which made everything worse.
   

Now, I'd argue that she would have been better approaching them one on one (ideally via Michael since he was most desperate), and floating it as a hypothetical rather than as a giant move.

I'm good with 1.

One is good... specially with so few picks left for us. Give us a chance to play longer. I think we had this come up before but earlier in the game and decided to go with one vote.
