Ongoing Tribal Council Commentary

[Grant]

Honestly the both of them are starting to piss me off. Sophie especially.

I want to root for them cuz Nama and all that but they're being complete bitches every tribal and Mike and Steph seem to be really calm about retaliating....

And well david may not be a goat but if he goes to the end with his current alliance he won't win for sure

I strongly agree with the bitches line.

How do they expect to win when there being ass holes at tribal 50% of the times?

I agree with you both. A little disappointing how they've handled what little power they had, for what little time they had it. Their heads sure ballooned up.

I don't quite agree. I think an argument can be made for each of the remaining Ovambo. I think Steph has come up huge with idol finds and clutch immunity wins. I think Ashley's stock has fallen a bit lately and I think the game is now Stephanie's to lose (in my opinion), while Mike and David are not very far behind. Which is great because there is no clear winner so the final tribal council will be huge. I plan to go into it open-minded without a clear winner in mind, no matter what 3 make it. The game will be won or lost in that final tribal, as should be the case.

I just hope everyone on the jury feels the same way and realizes that, even if you were aligned with or were working with or were on the same tribe with someone in the final 3, that doesn't mean they played the best game. That goes for us Ovambo people and it goes for the Nama folk.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this plays out; should be fun.

[Grant]

David's going to lose the game for him and/or Stephanie. Right here, right now.

[Sophie]

Well guys, sucks to be here but I had a blast and am proud of my game for sure! Sorry if I upset you Grant, based on your eye rolls and everything you really were rooting against me.

[Grant]

phewwww. I felt like I was getting voted out all over again there with the threat of Mike going.

[Grant]

wtf is David doing?

If there's a re-vote, is there rocks or something? If there's a challenge and Ashley's not here, oh man. But if it goes to rocks in a re-vote, David shot himself in the foot, only one vulnerable to go home, wtf?

[Grant]

Rocks between Ashley and Mike? Oof.

The two left pick rocks i think. But holy shit I didnt see that coming

[Grant]

The only thing this vote does is make it a tough vote between Steph/Ashley rather than Steph having a pretty good shot at winning. Is David even going to get a vote, no matter the outcome?

[Grant]

Ha, at least he admitted it.

[Grant]

Oops almost responded in the wrong thread. Sure, I'll do it if no one else wants it.

[Jeff Probst]

Yet again it landed on 1. lol... but this time that was probably more likely considering it was basically a 50/50.

[Grant]

Is this all three times?

[Jeff Probst]

Is this all three times?

I think so Or was it 4 times? Becuase i think the first time it was 3?

[Grant]

haha, crazy.

Is this a record for most amount of rocks in a season? Is the previous record holder even close? I think the purple rock should be the centerfold for the season episodes :p

[Grant]

Ready, JP?

[Jeff Probst]

haha, crazy.

Lol. It is definitely a record, but its kind of hard to tell. We used to do immunity bearer breaks all ties, but we decided that was kind of lame because the game was decided before Tribal Council even began so we made the switch in... Costa Rica I think season 17 (great season) and it really added to the strategy and dynamics of the game.

[Grant]

Crazy how it came down to two people who had previously been successful in avoiding the rock. Julie couldn't avoid it twice, Ashley couldn't avoid it twice. Mike was the lucky one I guess.

[Ashley]

The sad part is, they milked Julie for all she was worth and I am sure they are both thrilled with that outcome. Poor Julie.

I didn't milk Julie :( I really like Julie :( I went to rocks with the 50/50 chance too that round - I got really lucky! I actually spoke to her about flipping on Sophie (sorry Soph, but we didn't go through with it!) and we both agreed we'd rather take the chance than turn on each other.

My internet was screwing up during FTC so I would've had no chance if it had been anything but rocks, so in the sense I can't even complain about it. Sucks that I didn't make it to the end though.

[Jeff Probst]

So... who wants to go first?
