Round 7

[notstephen]

All of these death's combined, and it isn't even as sad as the end of Karic ;_;.

- Karic voted out, Kate threatening to quit, everyone hates everyone
- I have a personal love/hate relationship with Elise in this game.
- Jack Estavanik still makes the best confessionals <3. (WORK THE INV TO MERGE STRATEGY BAE)
- DeJuan is going to win CYS 17

Y'know, this will be a fun round. The game gets more and more zesty. Yup. Zesty.

WHY DO YOU HATE ELISE?!

Elise + Josh = GREAT ALLIANCE

[ashlee]

WHY WOULD YOU SHOW ALL THOSE LOST DEATHS?! I HATE YOU NOW

[dylan]

o.O

It isn't hate, it's love/hate!

I love Elise's gameplay, she continuously has gotten herself out of bad situations and is seemingly in a position that everyone needs her.

I hate that Eric was a casualty of all of this, and that Karic is broken up--and seemingly a lot of my favourites could very well wind up in the minority because of it ;_;. 

I love when Elise's confessionals are being sassy towards people I dislike. But when it's towards people I like... nooope.

So basically from just a cheering standpoint, she's marmite. From a strategic standpoint she's my absolute favourite right now.

Ohhhh Kate, Kate, Kate. I find it weird and off-putting that she's threatening to quit. It's not like there was anything even remotely unjust about Eric getting voted out. No idol play. No weird twist (other than ones already in effect). I understand being upset, but come on.

She couldn't have possibly thought they would both be able to maneuver their way to FTC, with it pretty obvious to all parties that they were at the very least a super tight alliance.

Also if I'm being brutally honest, I'm glad that Eric was the one to take the fall from this group. It doesn't seem like he was doing a whole lot strategically, at least compared to others on his tribe. And with some bias, I know Stephen and want him to do well.

[dylan]

Kate is OTT. She let's her emotions run wild.

And I agree. Eric was the better option for us viewers. But Kate would have been the better option for the players. A lot of people love her and that's going to bite them in the ass.

Also, FINALLY HAPPY THAT THE "WE ALL LOVE BRYCE" is over lol.

[notstephen]

I don't know how long people are going to love her, especially if she goes on a rampage like it sounds like she's going to do.

She's not doing it for gameplay, she's just doing it simply to do it.

get ready for me to be really hateful for the rest of this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

doesn't sound like it has much motif to it.

I love Kate. She's been one of my favourites to watch, and I don't know if she's planning to go down with the ship at this moment, or if she'll let a cooler head prevail. I hope it's the latter because I still see her having a lot of story left in this game. I agree with Ant, Eric wasn't doing much in this game strategically--however without the shackle of her boyfriend (it's not a bad shackle to have btw!) I think she could easily get back into a good position... if she lets cooler heads prevail.

Please let cooler heads prevail...

If Kate goes and DeJuan survives another round I swear to god...

100% agree with this. It is very off putting.

I was going to talk about how much I agreed with this, but stupid Joe beat me to it.

I have been actually paying a lot of attention, even if I am not posting so much. This last round amused me to no end.

SO many people had the opportunity to do something this round, and in a lot of cases, something Golden, but alas...

Also, Stephen and Josh both messaged me about how stressful it was. I love it.

[Host Brandon]

I'm loving this! <3 So much drama and people being stressed out is all I can ask for! I am also really hoping Kate doesn't give up! I think she has so much potential going forward if she can just suck up the loss and fight!

I am also really impressed with Albee. He went from being first boot to being in a great position. I seriously can see Albee going VERY far.

Once we merge in a few days, I will do my boot list.

I'd say something cliche'd like "please don't give up" and "people have recovered from worst positions" but I don't think you really want to talk strategic options at this point.

...ugh Kate I know why you're doing it but ;____; don't lose the rails over your boyfriend being voted out... hang in there

[Anthony]

I have so little sympathy. Kate, you're my girl, I love you, but you need to nut the fuck up. This game is not being catered to you and your significant other. Other players aren't playing so that you have the best experience possible. Regroup, acknowledge that it's just a game, and come out fighting with a positive attitude. Her only chance is to kill em with kindness at this point.

In other player news, really admire how Josh is regrouping, and I think a more vulnerable Tom is more likable of a player, at least for me. Also I kind of don't get Sara? I don't know why.

[Host Brandon]

I think the idea of a Josh/Tom/Elise alliance is amazing! It is also something I NEVER expected whatsoever!

Sara is literally everywhere! hahaha she wants to be friends with everyone...I think that is her problem right now. Plus she tells everyone everything...she just can't keep her mouth shut. But she is so likable that no one cares?

[jared]

Kate, you need to relax. Is she still playing?

Sara, if you're trying to be everywhere you are just making yourself look like the ultimate wild child begging for attention.
