Immunity was way too early so I did somewhat get the feeling there'd be some sort of twist. Normally not a fan of twists like that. The twist was surely orchestrated by the producers... but I'm sure they'd deny it 🤣. But Aileen & Feras winning in the challenge probably wasn't predicted, so it was pretty perfect how it worked out for them. So for viewing purposes tonight, I didn't mind the twist otherwise it was definitely Aileen going home tonight which would have been a little boring. The editing has been much better compared to previous seasons.
I was actually screaming at the TV for Feras/Aileen to split their votes lol, as I definitely knew Winna's idol would then be useless on a potential revote. Didn't think they'd actually do it! That was definitely Aileen's plan. She's definitely a smart player but can't see her winning due to numbers not on her side. Quite frustrating that Aileen basically opened up to working with them but none of them would have a bar of it despite Val saying she was open minded, (she only said it for show at tribal so Val was definitely full of it). One thing in Survivor you definitely need is to keep all options open and be open to doing voting blocks even if you have revenge in ur plans.
Merge is coming. Merge normally at 12-13 left. Feras is definitely safe for at least one more with his idol, so one immunity win should see him make it. Very high odds of that happening. Hard to see who he'd be working with over there though so it'd be interesting to see. What would be crazy is if Feras and Mark both made merge and made an alliance. Would defs love to see that but who knows.
