Not sure I’m backing Daisy to identify that she should play it for Harry.

Johnny boy is a goner.

Johnny boy is a goner.

Reverse psychology at work here!

Surely playing it for herself is a waste, so she won’t do that.

Might depend on whether the champs had a chance for another proper chat off camera (which they probably did).

... then again!!

 

[Tamuhawk]

Luke to work with remaining contenders to take out Janine and then old champs get mad and vote luke out next after her.

 

[THCLT]

Do we know which champs voted for Harry in the original vote...?
I thought that whoever that was would've flipped and voted for Abbey for the second round...but not to be.

 

[Herbie66]

Surely Luke & Simon realise they are # 4 & 5 in the pecking order , if they wish to make the finals , join up with the contenders and get rid of J , P & A then get rid of Baden & Daisy.

maybe coconuts and rice dull the thinking process , it shouldn't be that hard

 

[Herbie66]

think it is far to obvious if Luke goes home tonight

think it is time some of the players started using their brains (or maybe they have been outside of what we see on TV) and voted out the Puppeteer or Puppet before it is too late.

Interesting night

missed their opportunity again , oh well I am sure jury villa is fun with food , shower , bed , swimming , kayaking and 2 alcohol drinks a day

Not sure John is exactly a big name boot, but I'm not surprised it was a contender. Got a bit mislead by the preview, from the episode itself it was obvious Daisy would stuff up who to play the idol for. Very unlikely they'd put the votes on her knowing she had the idol, playing it for herself was the worst choice to use the idol on.

Abbey wasn't a bad pick to eliminate for the contenders - from her edit she's not winning, and I wouldn't be surprised if she goes soon. Obviously not the best pick, but I didn't mind that part of their strategy - it was unexpected if the champs somehow had an idol themselves.

I'm surprised they lasted around half an hour in that plank challenge - I'd struggle to last a couple of minutes in that one.

It was Lukey.

 

[Darkie]

It was Lukey.

Hmmm - do you think this was a tactic, or he was just out of the loop on the switch?

I can’t see why they would have split 4-1 unless they had an idol they were thinking of playing.

I thought as much...

Strange that he didn't go through with this play for the 2nd round as he had the power to eliminate John or Abbey.

 

[Philzsay]

As soon as it saw it was a plank challenge I said straight away to my wife that Blacky will win. Only wish I could have put a bet on it!

So just watched the 10play video.

Here's Luke's mindset and explanation:
He changed his vote mid-tribal to Harry to force a 4-4 split to flush out Daisy's idol and then on the revote, vote out a contender. On the revote he said "now I've changed my vote for s**** and giggles"

I don't think he calculated that one properly as Abbey would still have been sent home had Daisy played her idol for John lol.

I’m not sure I understand this either - the idol was either flushed or not flushed before the votes were read ... it didn’t depend on what the votes were?!

doesn't seem to be the sharpest tool in the shed , or maybe TV edit out the smart bits

What a waste of an episode.

I only saw from the start of the immunity challenge ... might have been a good one to miss.

Who were the four that received the reward?

Janine and Simon won reward, they took Pia and Daisy on a spa reward. I really like that reward challenge (they have had it once before as individuals rather than pairs - works better in pairs) where you need to take out a specific numbered peg.

What a waste of an episode.

Not a fan of the exile concept. Would have been interesting to see if voting was different if it was a traditional elimination vote.

Good to see a bit more of Simon for once, shame it was all him gunning for Luke though.
