Yay! I didn't realize there was a thread for my favorite tv show in this blog! So happy! 
Glad I'm not the only one who can't stand Jason. I am glad Nick's gone, just because he's too cocky. Have no idea who's going to win but this has been one of my favorite seasons ever because there's not one alliance that has been dominant from the start! So many moving parts! I guess my favorite right now would be....Cydney. Just in terms of game play. Oh, and Tai. Goodness knows what he was doing last week when he blabbed about the SuperIdol...did he think it was strategy to blab? Because now Jason and Scott are mad at him. But Tai is cool and really doesn't care what other people think!
Also, an ALL-WINNERS SEASON???????? HECK YES! THAT WOULD BE SO FUN TO WATCH!!1 They have more than enough winners now (30) but the trick is getting 16 or so contestants who actually want to play again!

I'm not too worried about Tai.
The same FB spoiler group that forecasted three medevacs, with Caleb being the first, also claims to know (know, not predict) the final three.
Warning, do not click the Spoiler button if you do not want to know.
Michelle, Tai, and Aubrey.
I have no idea how accurate this guy is, but he did foretell Caleb's early exit with uncanny accuracy.

That has to be one of the best episodes in Survivor history. Both challenges were intense and down to the wire, it was as unpredictable as ever, and Tribal was ridiculously crazy.
Let's start with sabotage. Definitely an effective move on Jason, Scot and Tai's part. But it definitely went too far. Jason and Scot have definitely cemented their status as villains.
That was one of the most exciting reward challenges I remember. A lot of strategy involved, and it flipped the whole game - something a reward challenge rarely does.
The immunity challenge was intense as well. I was really hoping Michelle won, because I thought getting Julia out was going to be the best bet for the alliance of Aubry, Michelle and Cydney - they are definitely my favorite trio.
As for the post-challenge mumbo jumbo... crazy! For a while there I thought Debbie was going to be a good player. But her stubbornness is so intense that it completely ruined her in Survivor.
Overall it was going to be a lose-lose for Aubry, Michelle and Cydney. They either vote out their alliance member, Debbie, or Cydney gets voted out because of a the super idol. However, Tai is in a very powerful position right now, as indicated by the previews for next week. He could go very far in this game if he plays it right. If he jumps ship with the majority alliance, he could ride that all the way to the end. If he stays with Jason and Scott, eventually they could take out those two and split the votes with Tai to force him to play the Super idol, or one by itself. I really hope Tai jumps ship. It would redeem him in the eyes of the jury, and based on his "nice guy" edit, I'm inclined to believe he'll jump ship.
As for the power rankings...
1. Tai - he holds the most power in the game right now, and he could for the remainder of it. The Super Idol is essentially like the very first hidden immunity idols where you could play them after the votes are read.
2. Joe - He poses no threat to anyone. His stubbornness could be the downfall of him like Debbie, but he's not going to plot against anyone.
3. Michelle - She hasn't been a big threat, and she's the least threatening of her core alliance of Aubry and Cydney.
4. Julia - She won't be a target from either side.
5. Aubry - She's less of a target than Cydney, but she's still a pretty big threat.
6. Cydney - She's a bigger threat than Aubry because of her physical ability.
7. Jason - He's been deemed as the less strategic player in the Jason/Scot alliance. I still wouldn't feel safe if I were him, but you know he'll think the Super Idol makes him invincible. However, Tai is playing a selfish game. I don't think he'll give the idols up unless it clearly swings the numbers in his favor.
8. Scot - He's the more strategic and social player between him and Jason. His fate hinges on the decision of Tai.
I wish it was next Wednesday already!

Definitely a fantastic episode. The sabotage was really interesting to watch. And, like said above, I'd be surprised to see Tai go with Scot and Jason based on his edit, especially with him feeling peer pressured into the sabotage.
Overall, I'd say next episode should be just as exciting. I would almost love Tai to play the Super Idol for the other alliance, completely blindsiding the Jason/Scot duo. But, why do that when you could easily not play it whatsoever for the same result?

There are a lot of players from this season that I could see return. Debbie, Neal, Tai, Jason, Scot, Cydney, Aubry, Caleb. I think they would all have a case for coming back - especially Jason and Scot if there's ever another Heroes vs Villains.Wow, Debbie's such a hilarious character.

Can you envision a whole tribe of the "quirkiest" characters? Imagine: Debbie, Shirine, Phillip, and Coach all on one tribe?Wow, Debbie's such a hilarious character.
Anyone else you can think to add?

In one interview Jeff said medics take a look at contestants during each challenge, as well as do check-ups on the beach. Jeff coming along during the Neil exit was different, though.

Took a while... But here are my thoughts on the episode!
-One of the best in recent memory, and probably one of the top ten most exciting tribals ever. I can't believe Scot and Jason missed the opportunity to "tie" at the Rock Paper Scissors, and then give the idol to "Tai"
-Right now I kind of love everyone as a character, except maybe Michelle who's just kind of there. Even Joe who may not have the best strategy I think is kind of fun to watch and is a fun part of the season. Right now my favorites are Julia and Tai and would love for one of them to win.
-And, am I a bad person for being on team Jason/Scot/Tai/Julia
I just love these four people as players and they are making the season really fun to watch even if some of it is villainous. What can I say, I love a good villain! Also, I really do not like Aubry/Cydney, and Michelle is just eh.
-That said, I think Aubry for sure made the wrong move. She should have flushed the boys' super idol by dumping all of the Debbie votes on Scot and letting Cydney go home, for several reasons. First, it's four-four right now. Granted, this scenario was going to happen either way, but now the other side has a super idol. And even if Julia does flip over, who's to stop Scot and Jason from pulling the same stint again at the next tribal? Not to mention, the further the super idol gets in the game, the more power it has. Plus, Cydney is in every way a bigger threat than Debbie so I don't see Aubry's rationale. Honestly, she should have just bit the bullet IMO this round to try and keep as much power in the game as possible.
-That said, Tai could very well flip over with his idol. And does he technically have both idols to himself now?
Overall very strong episode and can't wait for more!

In hindsight, Aubry's best move would have been to let Cydney go, but there was no guarantee that would have happened. It could have just as easily been her. Debbie and Joe are stubborn people. Once their mind is set, they don't want to change it. It makes it tough to play Survivor that way. I can definitely see Aubry's concern. However, this Super Idol makes it tough. I personally think it gives players too much power. It's essentially a free pass unless the opposing alliance has enough to split the votes.Took a while... But here are my thoughts on the episode!

And yes, in my eyes Tai has two idols at this point. I was watching a recap of the episode from Rob Has a Podcast with Stephen Fishbach and other past players, and Rob/Stephen seem to think they were told they had to have both idols with them at the time in order to use the Super Idol powers. For example, the votes can't be read and then two people put idols together to save themselves. Just the way the three men presented it made Stephen think that.

Honestly, it's better than Cagayan when Tony got it at the auction. You actually have to either find two idols (which is difficult) or have strong enough bonds with other people to share it. And, it's always risky telling other people about your idol, there's so many things that can go wrong.
