Survivor: David vs Goliath

[Pete1210]

I knew Christian would figure out that he needed to use his idol. He completely read Gabby at tribal. The guy should play professional poker.

Yeah, Gabby outed herself the moment she started going on about playing for herself. I don't know what she was thinking there. And it was like poker, in that he read, not just Gabby, but the entire situation.

And really, the result is why it was such a bad idea for her in the first place. Survivor is not about playing for yourself, at least, not until the very last stages. You don't make a big move like that without a super solid alliance to land in. And there was no way she had that.

She was viewed, correctly, that without Christian, she ceased to be a threat or a problem. christian may have been made stronger, because he no longer has a voting partner. He is viewed as powerless now, and he can work with that. He already worked with that.

The Goliaths are one of the least cohesive dominant alliances in the history of the show. They tend to stick together, but are constantly going rogue just enough to prevent them from really dominating the game.

But, man, Gabby really played herself.

She played herself because she has no self awareness. She gets some confidence and like most people her age, she thinks she is on top now. She didn't stop to actually read the room.

She couldn't see she was being played for her vote. Even if he gets voted out, she doesn't gain anything and is all alone or voted out because she tries to use power she doesn't have.

Christian is gone!? Didn't expect that! He got such a big edit this season. If he won, I'd have him up there on my fave winners list. Thought at worst he'd make it to finale episode.

I honestly don't know who'll win anymore. I hope Davie does.

Christian and Gabby can pretty much look at the Carl vote as their downfall. They struggled hard all season to get the numbers, they finally do, then they give it back immediately. It was all downhill from there.

Gabby was right in that she needed a big move so that she didn't look like she rode Christian's coattails all season but she didn't have to make it there. Nick lost trust in Christian after that and that caused Christian to lose the the little numbers that he could have had.

Finally caught up with the last episode. Man, Nick wasted his idol!
