    In this case, his lack of disclosure cost Adam his Immunity Idol. He was right to play it, because he had to insure his side stayed in tact. But for all the chirping of wanting to be treated like an adult, Will really is playing like a rather immature player.

    And holy hell, Ken is an idiot. He may have just replaced Adam as the the clueless one that doesn't know how to handle secret information. If he had gone, he would have deserved it.

    I agree that Zeke crossed the line last week, and my wife and I were rooting for him to leave. But I was also happy to see that he owned his play, realizing that he went to war way to soon. He is no Boston Rob. Leaving will out of the meeting is something Rob would have never done. He kept tabs on every vote he needed 24/7. The only reason they were able to force Adam to use the idol was Ken's bonehead move. Otherwise, he would have been wiped out.

    For all of the high level competitive play this season, last night's result was due to some of the worst gameplay all season.

    I'm rooting for David the most right now. Ken was high on our list, and I'm sure my wife, who is freaking lusting for the man, is still rooting for him. Although that move might have done him in in her eyes. We both think Hannah is freaking adorable, and it would be fun to see her sneak into a Final Three.
    I think Adam would have had to play the idol no matter what. Even if Will said not too, could they really have trusted him? I thought it was smart for Will to stay quiet, he flushed an idol and got Zeke out.

      Does anyone in the game know Jay has an idol, or do they all know? I can't remember if he revealed he had it or not or they assumed he did.

        Will knows right? Or was that Taylor that Jay was showing it to when Michaela showed up?

        I'm pulling for Jay and Hannah at this point which is strange because I was mainly a Gen X supporter so far. Maybe Ken will redeem himself but he was so dumb last night.

          Everyone knows Jay has an idol. They did that montage of the news traveling after he told Zeke. I don't think Jay and Will realize that everyone knows, though. At least they have not shown it.

          At the very least it should have come up during TC when deciding who Will should be loyal to.

            Re-watched that tribal, and it's interesting to see the look on Will when Adam played the idol. He seemed scared abit when it happened, which is weird to think seeing how he was on Adams side of the vote, unless he thought for some reason they were all voting him out?

              Ken, WTF was that? Talk about insecure.

              They're voting for me? Why? I don't understand, and instead of just keeping the numbers to vote out Zeke I must find out and blown your game up Will.

              I and the wife agree with every word of that.

              I'm really wondering what the legacy advantage is that Ken got handed down. Wonder if it effects the final votes somehow.

                Maybe it's something like they did last year I think it was where you have the power to vote someone off the jury.

                  Ken pulled a Jessica. He was mad at Jessica for ratting him out on his vote for Lucy and did exactly what Jessica did by blowing Will's game out to the other alliance.

                    8 people left and day 33 just happened. Last season after day 32,there was just 5(and 4 heading into finale). Season before it was 7 after day 32(6 heading into finale). One before that, it was 6(finale started with 5).

                    Based on episode preview for this week...

                      Now down to the final 6! Finale next Wednesday, and preview for it looks good.

                      My guess on who's most likely to win the game based on how I think the jury will vote:
                      1.Jay
                      2.David
                      3.Ken
                      4.Adam
                      5.Hannah
                      6.Bret

                        So no reward challenges last night. That pretty much means the reward steal advantage Jay now possesses is meaningless. I doubt they will be having a reward challenge on finale night.

                            *spoilers if you didn't see finale,but if you didn't,you technically shouldn't be here*

                            Surprised at how that all went down! Really wanted Ken or David to win! Still upset over both them losing,and Ken taking David out at F4, messing up that ending and messing up my f3 pick I called from day 0.

                            However, after what Adam revealed at the Reunion show... don't know if anyone in the 33 seasons of Survivor deserved to win (on a personal note) any more than he did. 1 hour after he got back!?! [emoji22] How tragic is that. But at same time, he told her he won! One of last things he ever said to her was something that didn't yet happen,and it came true in biggest way imaginable(10-0 sweep, I think it's biggest sweep ever?).

                            Irony that Adam was one in final tribal saying if Ken played in old era of Survivor, he wins easily, when in actuality, Adams story is one of the things original Survivor was based off of. Who deserves the money the most on a personal level.

                            But next season of Survivor.....it might be one of my faves already! Tai and Caleb reunited. Tony is back. Sandra entering with biggest target in history. Malcolm vs Ozzy! And so much more! March premiere though, that's a week or two later than usual. In meantime, I'm starting up Survivor Pearl Islands in a few weeks in my traditional "between seasons re-watch".

                              Interesting point worth discussing...

                              I don't think I agree that Adam deserved the money the most on a personal level. I think his story, how he played, etc. means he deserved to WIN the most imo. But that doesn't mean he deserves the money the most, which is what the old survivor you're talking about was about.

                                He wasn't the best gameplayer, but his personal life was a compelling story. A homeless shelter manager whose mom was deathly ill(and ended up dying right after he got back). Sure, Ken playing the game for his daughter was a nice story too(even more so since Ken acted almost the exact opposite way you'd expect a model to act, which is a compliment to him), but for me I just think Adams was a stronger one. So many people play the game for their kids, but very few play for a very sick parent who also happens to be such a huge Survivor fan.

                                I'm saying all this, while having Adam be 4th or 5th of my list of people I most wanted to win of the final 6 people in the game(David,Ken,Hannah, in order, were my top 3)
