Shame there wasn't an elimination tonight as it could have been a great blindside against Hayley.

Liz from the bottom a few nights ago to all of a sudden to the top of her alliance and then now going back to her main spice girls alliance. Has a relationship with the majority on both sides. She is in a commanding position as of right now. Come merge, won't be voted out anytime soon due to her idol. But funnily enough the only thing weighing her down and making her seen as a threat to get rid of would be some wanting to flush her "public" immunity idol. Can't wait for the merge and to see where the line in the sand is drawn but looks like there's still at least one more (possibly two more) until the merge.

Poor Stevie, didn't see that one coming. Also I didn't enjoy seeing Sam waste all that food and drink at the sandwich bad, that food could've gone to the locals in need.

I think that was a very poor move going fwd, hurts their alliance leading into merge. Stevie was a very loyal guy that would vote whichever way George told him to. George was correct re Flick - you can't trust her, she will flip easily.

It was very ordinary form from Sam - so many people starving/ living in poverty yet he does that & the producers include it in the episode ...

Yeah agree, the other two were just trying to save their own skins with their pitches, one of them should've gone, and re: the food, the producers could've said whoever's last can look through it all but not with your hands or whole arms like David did, (gross!) but don't trash it all because we're donating the leftovers to local charity/ soup kitchen.

 

[Ironhawk]

I agree it did seem a weird decision to vote out Stevie. Guess we'll see how that works out. May have been some reason that wasn't shown why they turned on him, as he seemed a loyal number.

 

[Tamuhawk]

Poor Stevie. I have no logical explanation for that tribal last night. Very heartbreaking voting off someone who was so loyal to them. They'll only have themselves to blame if Flick/Matt turn on them.

At Merge
Heroes 8
Villains 4

 

[Tamuhawk]

George called it with Flick. Liz eating some humble pie.

There's still hope for that spice girls alliance!

 

[Tamuhawk]

So even if Simon does not vote with George's side and votes for Shonee, the Heroes are doing a 5-2 split on the girls (which is really 4-1 if you take out Matt & Hayley's vote)... Sam should still go home.

6 votes on Sam
5 votes on Shonee
1 vote on Liz (from Shaun)

Matt & Hayley would have all that info to make it work. Hoping no one wastes an idol tonight.

And then George goes and ruins the plan... 🤣

 

[Tamuhawk]

Flick is goneskis next.

 

[Tamuhawk]

Loving this line in the sand episode.

 

[Ironhawk]

I am not sure that I see these 7 sticking together until the end. Someone will flip, and I'm not sure successfully. It happens almost every time post merge - the majority in the first vote are almost never the final survivors, and someone from the minority goes further than they should.

I don't see any of the other 4 winning this time though. Shaun is the only one with much chance of getting far, the others likely won't last long.

George is not playing as well lately. Still very clever overall, and understands this game far better than most, but telling Shaun everyone was voting Sam was a bit stupid, if they really wanted Sam out. At least it will get the others paranoid I guess, as he was right about the 7 votes against them.

I thought George's move at tribal council last night was quite impressive. Very quick thinking (again) at a minimum, and I think a good outcome for him ... he kept his alliance together, albeit he was correct in that Flick couldn't be trusted, and he sacrificed one ally to keep two others.

Liz has made some major errors, but at least she was correct in identifying that Shonee was the target, rather than using the idol for herself.

David made it easy for her to make her use it on Shonee lol.

He did in the end, but I still thought she was a chance to play it on herself. She doesn’t seem great at reading the situation, and can be a bit focused on self preservation.

I actually think that she knew what she was doing. That she didn't even need to use it tonight. She played it anyway to get rid of her threat level seeing as it was a "public" immunity idol.

Watched some of the US Survivor episode that was on tonight, and remembered why I gave up on it a few seasons back. First tribal council of the season and from a tribe of 6, there were only 3 votes cast, the others gave up their votes as part of various advantages. Of the three votes cast, two were on someone who used an idol, so there was 1 vote total that counted. Way too many "advantages", and that was all just in the first episode.

I had heard there were a lot of gimmicks, but that is getting out of hand!

George is too damn good at this game.

Does not look good for him tonight with 2 idols in play. Might be the end of King George?
