Well, that was certainly a blindside. Reba+ Emily decided to take Kellie out, I guess. Not a terrible decision, given how rocky Jake's game has been, but damn, did they maybe burn a vote already from the blindside. As much as Kellie tried to be a good sport ("good move, I guess"), you can tell she's EXTREMELY pissed off. She did not look happy at Emily when she confessed to voting her out, but I wonder if Kellie assumes that Emily led that vote against her. That could be very bad for her or very good, depending on Kellie's mindset at the end of the game AND if Emily makes it to F3.
Jake's grown on me. He may not be a good player, but I appreciate his reasoning for making the moves he has. Saying he made a mistake with voting for Julie with the hindsight of Kaleb still going, but also recognizing that he doesn't want to follow the herd of votes because that's boring is great insight from him.
I did like his gameplay as well on pretending to slip up about an idol to cause a little bit of panic. I think, whether or not Reba 4 + Emily were flipping already, it was a good way to sew some doubt. And I love that Jake decided to blatantly idol hunt. Some great material from Jake this week, even if it wasn't all good for him in the game. He did point out to the other bottom players that they're gonna be next after him. I hope it put things into perspective, especially since he's still there.
Of course Bruce wins immunity AND still has his idol. They are giving him a terrible edit, though. It's almost funny to watch how bad of an edit they're giving him, at this point. Even if he won out to the end, I don't see him winning; people really hate him that much. He'd be a zero vote finalist, even with having to win out.
I really dislike Drew in this game. He may be a fine person outside of it, but game Drew is really slimy but also, to me, really obvious? Even without the knowledge of him wanting to get Katurah on his side, the way he went about manipulating her "we'll take YOUR lead, Katurah!", seemed really obvious to me. I get it's good gameplay and all, but it felt really icky to watch. But I think Drew presents himself as some leader but it comes across as smug and condescending.
Seeing the Survivor auction was fun and seeing the changes they made were great. No advantages, hooray! Seeing most people get good stuff was fantastic, but the fish eyes were gross. Never again show that on TV and never again play it BACK.
The women are doing well, so that's a positive. I really loved seeing Julie outlast several people to be against Bruce; that challenge looked TOUGH.
