Re: Survivor 43

What a plot twist!

Dwight had Jeanines idol and got voted out according to everybody...except Jesse, who actually has the idol that Dwight gave to him!

If Jesse somehow got voted out, Dwight would've been screwed big time though.

Re: Survivor 43

Survivor is getting very dramatic with their twist reveals

I really hope Jesse is on the verge of getting blindsided, and he bust out that idol and explains where it comes from.

That's a move he needs to make people aware of before the final tribal, but that is part of the game that's tough.

If he hides the info because he doesn't need to play the idol, that hurts his chances at jury votes since springing news like that on people last minute doesn't always sway them enough to change their mind.

If he reveals that info earlier on, he becomes a bigger threat.

I think he should hide it until he plays it for himself if he has too. If he reveals it at jury then there might have been someone he could have saved and he lied to them about having anything. Of course endless number of possibilities lol

Re: Survivor 43

That was a smart move to get rid of the knowledge is power advantage.

Sure, you had to burn an advantage, but that led to the other advantage not being played, so it worked out.

Can you explain what happened? I feel like an idiot lol, I'm watching and she used her advantage to take away Owen's vote, and then voted the same way Owen would've voted anyway, I was confused, I must not be paying close enough attention

That was the plan.

She was working with Owen on that vote.

James wanted Owen gone, Owen wanted James gone.

James, who knows his name was out there, has the knowledge is power advantage. So he could just use his power to steal someone's advantage and save himself.

The plan was for Noelle to steal Owens vote so that James would feel safe and think she stole Owens vote to prevent Owen from voting James, meaning James wouldn't feel the need to play his advantage. In reality, that was all for show because she was voting James twice anyways.

Thanks! I definitely misunderstood what was going on, there's too many idols and advantages to keep up with


It kinda looked for a moment that Owen might've blown it when Jeff asked if he and James were competitively respectful, he kinda snickered while James looked over to nod in approval, Owen quickly recovered and nodded back. Looking back, that was a close call

Re: Survivor 43

James was too blinded by his own game. As soon as people start to think they’re running the show, it’s curtains. He should have known as soon as Noelle said she was going to take Owen’s vote “just in case” that something was amiss.

So that’s 1 of my top 3 predictions (Karla and Cass the others) out. Karla is playing a hell of a game IMO. Kind of calling the shots without being the clear ringleader. With James gone, who was the ringleader, I wonder if she’ll be a bit more exposed. She’s got good in’s with a bunch of different people though. This double elimination threw things off though. Be interesting to see how everyone recoups.

Re: Survivor 43

The part people aren't talking about as much, and I didn't even realize either...

This whole thing started because James told Owen to vote Ryan to gain trust.

Jeanine was the one who was voted out, which is what the plan was.

James now trusts Owen because he did what he was supposed to because Ryan got 2 votes.

Owen is mad at James for telling him to vote Ryan when Jeanine was the one voted out.

James is now mad at Owen for being mad at him because the whole trust building part didn't mean Owen was voting for someone to leave, but rather just voting for whoever they told him to vote for.

Did I mention that Owen didn't actually vote for Ryan? That's where this whole thing gets crazier. So James trusted Owen when Owen didn't actually vote the way James wanted, but the person who actually did vote for Ryan (Cassidy) either is unaware of Owen being pinned as the 2nd vote for Ryan, or just isn't saying anything.

Re: Survivor 43

Owen was being a baby. His argument that he just wants to build trust dies because like James said, he voted for James two times in a row. Why Owen would think James would be on his side after that is asinine. And especially if he really didn’t do what he was told anyway like you said Maj. (I didn’t check if these votes went as the people said they did). I have liked Owen the whole season, but his woe is me act is getting tired.

Sami is a mastermind for getting Karla on board. Actually bodes well for Karla’s future to fall back to the #2 in an alliance that is viewed as calling the shots as Sami steps up as a strategist and physical force. Sami is really smart in how he plays the game though, so I think he’ll try to pull a Alligabler and dip below the surface again, lol.

I think Jesse is going to get votes put on him this next round. He’s been an integral part in a lowkey manner and I think someone will notice it next episode and get his name out there. We know Jesse has the idol, so i expect a lot of shenanigans if things start to go towards him.

Re: Survivor 43

I think, if they’re smart, they get Cody out tonight. Mainly speaking for Jesse here. He’s got to cut Cody down now for his big move, then he’s got some cover with his idols if the crosshairs turn on him after making a move on Cody.

Owen would be wise to get Sami out in a similar fashion for similar reasons (Cody and Sami basically called the shots for their respective group of 5), though he’s got way less clear of a path forward and generally I don’t think anyone respects his game, lol.

This episode is crucial to see which of the blocs will likely end up with 2 of 3 finalists. Personally, I think Cass has 3rd locked up. So which group gets her vote as they get down to it will be key.

Re: Survivor 43

Why did Karla have an audible moment of triumph when Noelle was voted out? Was she just happy the votes aligned with her, or was something else going on?

She recieved votes too.....

She had an idol and received multiple votes. She thought she was gonna be voted out with an idol.
