There's never a dull tribal in CYS 17.

It looks like Stephen is going to be the one who wins immunity this round, which is good for my Fantasy team! Yeeeee!

But, the 7 on 4 split sucks.

Bryce, Navneet, Jack, Justin, Tom, Elise, and Albie vs Patrick, Stephen, Kate, and Sara.

If I were to predict, I'd say this is the round where Patrick is going to go. The plan for the seven, or the "Suicide Squad" is to split the votes 4-3-3. Sara will likely play her idol on herself, and I'd guess they'd be gunning for Patrick since he's seen as the smarter game player out of he and Kate. They could also try to vote Sara, but it wouldn't matter. I'd say Sara is in a position where she's going to need to play her idol.

Orchestrating a 4-3-3 vote is easier said than done, especially because the majority will likely look to move up into a 5 spot if they feel as if they're 6 or 7, as well as the 7 have so many pre-existing feuds (Jack/Albee, Bryce/Albee). I think Elise would be the most prone to flip in this scenario. It wouldn't surprise me whatsoever, and Elise would become my queen if she did.

I have a suspicion that Bryce will probably play an idol this round as well, no facts based upon it, I just know that the past few tribals everything has come down to the final day/last minute switching, and I doubt that this would change especially since they've been in a One World format since the get go.  Bryce is paranoid as fuck, and he has not one, but two idols. Thankfully, most people only know about one. Maybe playing one right now wouldn't be so bad since people would assume he's a one-and-done idol holder. 

I still firmly believe Justin is going to make FTC, and I think if they were smart they'd keep Jack since he seems to be getting on everyone's nerves, but he's still #1 in my heart <3. <3 <3 <3 e s t a f a n a t i c s <3 <3 <3 <3

Also it's time for my favourites from my fan-viewing pleasure, merge tribe suggestion edition!

2 CHAINZ
Bryce
Elise
Jack
Kate
---Anthony called it. Elise is up in the ranks now. Her confessionals are insanely entertaining. I love her as a person, I hate some of the things she says and moves she makes (simply because I'm cheering for certain people), but she's one of the top strategic minds and an overall fun confessional. Jack is bae. Kate is bae. Bryce is bae. Nothing new except Elise clinched her mark in the top... for now.---

POTATO
Justin
Patrick 
Stephen
Tom
---Overall most of them are here rather for very UTR/CP confessionals and not much personality showing through them, or I've liked what I've seen and haven't thoroughly watched all of their confessionals recently. I think of these four at least two of them are going to make it to Rites of Passage at the least. I would be super happy with that!---

LANNISTER
Albee 
---Although I find Albee super entertaining, the personal attacks on Jack in a confessional were too much for me. There's nothing wrong with it/against it, but it's just not my vibe. I still love Albee and am still rooting for him to go far, but eh.---

ANDRUBA (bitter that the tribe name isn't 2 Chainz)
Navneet
Sara
---I've just never really gelled with watching either of them. They're great people, I just haven't really felt that connection with them yet. Sara's flip flopping also kind of bugged me, but I'm sure to her it's justified and that's all that matters.---

MAJOR UPDATE HAPPENING TOMORROW.

SORRY REAL LIFE PLUS IN FTC IN ANOTHER GAME.

CANNOT WAIT TO GET CAUGHT UP ON ALL THE ~DRAMA~ AND MY FAV. CASTAWAYS <3

[notstephen]

So I misread the situation. The Suicide Squad are splitting between Sara and Kate?!?! From their perspective, Kate doesn't make a lot sense to me. Ignore all of this. I just saw Patrick was Duke. Cool! 

I just don't want to see Kate go . She is an emotional player, right. But at this point in the game she is a non-factor to their longterm plan. In fact, if I were a member of the seven, I'd try to make as close of a pact with Kate right now and bring her to the finals since she ruffled so many people's feathers throughout this game.

Also my consistent Justin Jones love continues:

The Good Side: Justin/Jack/Bryce/Navneet/Tom
The Snake Side: Elise/Albie
The Bad Side: Kate/Patrick/Sara/Stephen

From his confessionals ^

He literally has a firm grasp on the happenings of the game. I am going to say this every opportunity I get. He's making the finals, and despite not being the biggest presence he deserves every ounce of credit if he gets there. I <3 Justin, I'm rooting for him, and he continues to surprise. I think I need to rank him higher next fan ranking.

Alas, tribal is still going to be super interesting. I expect the vote to change yet again. Tom is expecting Kate/Sara to vote him, so really the firing line currently consists of:

Tom
Kate
Sara

Which further makes me believe that Bryce is going to play an idol this round, presumably to save his #1 ally Tom.

Two potential idol plays? Juicy.

[Host Brandon]

I think an Idol will definitely get played tonight. Also, the big question is, which side will Albee and Sara side with?! Will Navneet, Sara, or Kate leave?!?! AHHH

[Host Brandon]

Unless Sara plays the Idol, she might be screwed this round :x

I want to be friends with Elise.
