I really hope the group decides to split up Sarah and Sophie sooner rather than later. I don't know why Ben and Tony seem to be against it.
I think that's just how good Sophie and Sarah are. They are massive threats right now, and they are running this game. But they never seems to be a realistic option to vote out. That may easily change as numbers dwindle, but as long as Jeremy is around, I think the target is on him, rather than them. If I were Sophie and Sarah, I'd keep Jeremy around as long as possible. After he's gone, I think a light will shine on them.

Something I was thinking about. If a player (even Tyson) manages to come back from edge of extinction and sit among the Final 3, anyone think they have a legit shot to win? Many of the players on Edge right now are old school and have a crazy ton of respect for each other. So will that group be more impressed with someone like Ben or Sarah, or will they have some stronger feelings for someone like Tyson if he manages to come back again?

Michele and Nick voted for Denise. I think Michele was in on it. It would make sense why only 2 votes ended up on Denise then.
They never explained why Nick was with Tony, Ben, Sarah and Sophie and Michelle was with the other group. Was it Nick and Michelle’s plan to split apart, but keep working together? Know it Alls talked about it last night, but there wasn't a lot of time in the episode to deal with strategy.

In a secret scene I saw today, Tyson says that he’ll win if he gets off EoE again and makes it to the final 3.

It’s been reported that the cast, when asked by Jeff, expressed dislike for EoE.

Always hard to say where human emotion is involved, but I’m guessing a returnee would not win.

I think it depends on a lot of things. Has the person been on the Edge for the majority of the game? Did they play a strong game while in it? If it's Tyson, they would probably respect his ability to get back in twice. Who is left in the actual game?

That's my biggest beef with the extended loved ones visit. It left no time for strategy. I think that is something that the show continues to struggle with. Showing enough coherent strategy. I think they mostly just show when someone's name it brought up to make it seem like it's a wild and unpredictable vote. Even if that name was just thrown out once with no real meaning.

Sandra hates the EoE, and I think that's part of the reason she decided to leave. Kim was also pretty blunt in her dislike of it. But yeah, most of them said they do not like it. Tony was another one I can remember off the top of my head. Only a few on this cast liked it.

I believe it was Dalton Ross who asked several past players from all eras if they liked it or not. The majority said no, but there were several who said yes. Some said they'd like it as a player, but they don't as a viewer.

Do you not think that last night’s extended loved ones visit edit was tied to our current isolation situation ... families not seeing their loved ones for weeks on end? I know that’s why I cried. (Harder than ever, I mean.)

This past Easter/Passover was hard for a lot of people.

Honestly, I think it would have been that long under normal life circumstances. It wasn't just one loved one; it was entire families they had to show. And they had 19 of them to show. Usually they have 7 or 8 single loved ones. That's going to be pretty time consuming regardless of what's going on in current day real life. They likely had the majority of this edited before things were closed down. I think it was just good timing.

Add Jeremy to the list of players who dislike EoE.

A secret scene with more from the loved ones visit. It offers more strategy, but continues to show the real people. Michele has a good perspective. Tony talks about his strategy. Jeremy says who he trusts most. Kim and her husband are talking about others. Tyson continues to show his sensitive side. He looks like a really great dad. I wish this scene could have made it in. This episode should have been 2 hours.

Michelle talking about the three people who don’t have kids (Nick, Sophie and Michelle) is interesting. Is she thinking that any player who has children and makes it to the final 3 will beat a player doesn’t have kids?

I think she is saying that there is a stronger bond between those players. But I do wonder, and this is something that Rob Cesternino has brought up a lot, if the jury will award someone like Michele who is single with no fiance, husband, etc, over someone with an established family. Could be maybe see a Nick, Sophie, and Michele final 3?

Rob has talked about it, and Stephen said this came up in Second Chances too. It makes sense. If the final 3 are Nick, Michelle and Jeremy I think we all know who’s going to win.
