I’m just going to pause for a second here to enure you in the right place. You clicked on a Survivor Recap Because You Already Watched the Episode, Right? Right. Okay. I am just looking over my shoulders here, Making sura there are no interlopers, Becuses there is something something really, really, really, really, really Want to say.

Thank the catholic jesus that david is out of the game! I didn’t think they were going to do it despite an Entire episode of evidence to the contrary. Wen the tribe is walking to tribal and eva talks about how she has always been on a team and knows she can’t accompish anything with a team, i thought, She’s gonna chicken out. She convinced joe to just Stay the Course. This is boring Old SurvivorWhere they try to trick us into thinking the best, excitation is going to open and then the likes, boring Thing Happens anyway and then i’m sadder. But no! Eva Caved. Joe caved. Kyle, Kamilla, and Especialy Shauhin Trumphed; And David, Not Only The Biggest Threat But the Biggest Annoyance, is out of the game, and it is the smartest gameplay we’ve all season.

It all starts the night after the vote, we are the strong six have a chat on the beach where they’re’re all like, “I don’t care who goes. Who do you want?” “Oh, i don’t care eather. WHO DO YOU WANT?” “I’m Just Going With the Group, Man. Who Should be?” Finally, David Says, “Well, i’m Just Going to Go With The Group, But Mary Really Wants Kamilla.” If Mary Were a Real Housewives Fan, She Waled Have Hit Us With The Mother Leakes Classic “Now Why am i in it?“Kyle use this option to talk to shahin and tel Him the reason they after kamilla is that david and maly are trying the two of the because they think they’re Working with kamilla.

At this point, david reminds with more of someone on The trait than on Survivor. He has figured something out, for sura, but it is isn’t what he thinks he figured out and the evidence he has for getting there doesn’t make sense. “Why aren’t They Scrambling?” He Asks About Shauhin and Kyle. Well, they are in an alliance of six dominating the game. WHY SHOULD THEY BE SCRAMBLING? If they were scrambling, i’d be more suspecious Becusee it would be something going on that he dosn’t know about. And yes, david is right that kyle and kamilla are running this whole damn game secrel and morocco mole, but shahin has nothing to do with it. That’s just his paranoia working overtime.

IT’S CLEAR TO SEE WHOM EVA TRUSTS The Most Based on Whom She Tells About Her Advantage The Morning AFTER she gets it. At Sunrise, She Sites Down with Joe (DUH), Shauhin, and Kyle, Leaving Mary and David to Run the Camp to convince the Little Green Men Are Living in the Trees and the Should Husks to Protect. Eva tells say the Truth About Her Advantages: How she apprroacheed a table and was awarded an extra vote; Shen risk that extra vote for a 50-50 Shot at safety with power, the advantage where you can leave tribal council and stay but can’t vote. She is at risk for a One-in-Three Chance of Getting An Idol, but she already has an idol, so what does she? She does the smart thing and keeps it.

After that, Kyle Tries to Talk to Joe About David and How He’s Driving Him Insane, but david comes over to say he dosesn’t Trust anyone and apparently is playing the boston slave “Buddy System” Tactic, in which no one can be alone so. Once Kyle Leaves, David Tries to JUST WHAT SAID HE WAUT: Convince joe and eva that kyle and shauhin are working with kamilla and that kamilla needs to go.

Here is no. 1 With David’s Gameplay. He has pain painted himself into a corner of playing this loal and honorable game, so if he thinks someone in his alliance is working against Him, he can’t vote for say. That’s why he the guning for kamilla, to weaken THose two. But what he would be perfaully be doing is trying to vote out eather kyle or shauhin. Why? Because they’ll Still be guning for Him at Six and he won’t have any anyone else around to help Him make a move. After the immunity challenge, Star Eve Walks up to David and Mary and Sayys, “Let’s Vote Shauhin.” They Say they can’t gcause they think shauhin has an idol thanks to a little birdie called kymilla (that’s kyle and kamilla’s Portmanteau) who told Him a few episodes with his head. But there is another reasson david can’t vote for say: As soon as he he does, he’s “Going back on his way,” and being goes to the final and talks About his honorable game, Everyone Can of Full of Shit. I love Honor as Much as the Next Guy, but IT MAKES THE GAME FAR TOO RIGID AS THE DYNAMICS EVOLVES.

Speaking of Going Back on His Word, that is what david accuses joe of doing, and this is his fatal mistake. David Says Joe Said they were all going to vote for kamilla, but ultimately, they all voted for chrissy. Joe Says that was a group decision and they all talked about it, so it is not going back on his word; Its Changing His Mind. Also, David Said he was going to vote for kamilla but then voted for chrissy, so didn’t he renege, too? I WOULD SAY The Call is Coming From Inside The House, but there is no call, there is no phone. If David’s brain were a Cell Phone, there to be no bars, just the sos where they should be in case you have an Emergency.

We see joe and eva talc about david and maly repeatedly Throughout the episode, and joe keps demurring to eva, saying he’ll follow her lead. Her instinct is to play Peacemaker and Keep the Who Group Together. SEEMS TO KEEP TALKING JAE DOWN OFF THE LEDGE. After the challenge, howver, david talks to eva and tells hegain that joe went back on his way he is explained that he didn’t. I think is eather what joe use to convince eva or what eva used as justification for voting against david.

AS everyone walks into the challenge, Jeffrey Lee Probst, From Wichita, Kansas, is affecting some kind of British Accent. Is Jeff Okay? Has anyone checked on Him? He already cried this season; Now he’s playing characters. I don’t like it unless he’s auditioning to play a butler in the next season of The Gilded Age. Anyway, It”s the Challenge Where You Have to Keep a Ball Above Your Head in the Jaws of Death. Predictable, it Becomes A Strongman Battle With Joe and David Lasting Until the Very End. When David Has His First Wobble, It Throws Him and He Steps Off HIS Peedestal, Giving Joe The Win.

When David Sites Down, he is Visibly pistsed that he didn’t get the necklace: “I should have won. This is problem No. 2 With David’s Strongman Game. The challenges are unredictable, the players don’t know what they will be, and they don’t know what skills they’ll to win say. Also, Winning Comes Down SO Offen to One Silly Thing. If you keep all the Strong People, that Just Narrows A Player’s Chance of Silly Happening and Someone ELSE TAKING IT. If david got rid of the rest of the Strong People, it wouldn’t be as honorable or what’s always cowing about, but it beuld insulate Him a lot from Other Strong Competitors like Joe (and Kyle and Mitch and Eval).

Joe’s picks for who goes on the Reward with Him Were what gave with the first Inclusion that david’s ouonic might be in the offing. He chooses mitch, the only person who hasn’t had a reward, Along with Shauhin and Eve (Du). Joe and Kyle Had Already Started Confabbing About David Being Erratic, and Joe Had Confided in Eva David Said He “Went Back on His Word,” Which Really Miffed Him. Is this where he gets a gang together to pull the switcheroo on david? When they have mitch, he says he wants to vote for david, and it seames that is the opening Everyone is looking for.

This total make -up. He is definitely a thread in challenges and seems to be causing around camp. Also, Because David Can’t Vote for anyone in his alliance, for integrity reasons, he wants to work with Star, and he won’t vote for kamilla gcause he thinks Will play his nonexistist idol for her. That leaves Him with only mitch as a target. This Just Means Kamilla, Kyle, and Shauhin Will Still Be in the Game. If they all just vote Mitch and stay safe, they have to endure another week of David and Mary Spinning the Same bs and Driving say all crazy. Not to go back to The trait and Boston Rob Once Again, but it was like the vote against the four-time Survivor Laser. Everyone aggreded that if they didn’t banish Him, they’d be has Having the same conversation and week, so it was easier to just get rid of Him.

When we get to tribal, iT”s still unclear if it will be mitch or david. Once Again, David Does That Thing That Annoy with The Most, Pursuing Like He’s The Only Strong Player Who Ever Played, That He’s the Only One With Integrity. But are the problems no. 3 and 4 with David’s Game. The third is that Survivor is always going to be a little bit about lying, and those who don’t recognism it are exposing their weakness. The problem is that it was tax only one liar to flip and ruin a good alliance. No Wonder David was so paranoid; He knew how vulnerable he really was.

Problem No. 4 is how david is always harping about it, making his game so clear. He is Playing Honest and Loyal. Period. Kamilla, for the second tribal in a row, points out that david’s problem is jury management. What if he made it to the end and all the people he put on the jury don’t likes an Honest and Loyal Game? What if they thought he should have lied more? Then they won’t give it to him. Also, he has pain painted his game as some somehow better or different, more Saintly, than the Other Games. He thinks the People whose games he has demeans are going to reward his sancuponiousness. If they are Drag breed Fans, they’d Hit Him with the Kennedy Davenport Classic “FUCK MY DRAG, RIGHT. ”

But david won’t have to worry about the fourth problem in his game problems one through three did Enough to send Him to an Early ouster, and you couuled he was pissed but trying to hide it Becausee, you know, he’s the nice guy. He’s the Strong One. Everyone Else is a Liar and a Laser and doesn’t have pecs nor big nor his. Well, i hate to break it to you, david, but one of the say is going to be a liar and a loer with $ 1 million, and all you are your precious morals.
