Round 9

[Ryan]

Yeah, I wish Thiago didn't make his vote like that... -_-

[Lucunt🍻🔫Ԇ]

Oh my God, I swear I cannot with Thiago anymore. I feel like he knows he is a villain now and is almost reveling in it. That vote disgusts me in so many ways.

This season is vicious. I do not get the logic in taking Chad out this round. It seems like people just want to be lulzy and take him out for the fun of it. I don't think its smart gameplay when you have the obvious Admonitio 4, but hey! Let's target the guy who is on the bottom of the favs alliance because of a "Farrago" alliance when Farrago is obviously not together. Of course people are just slurping Thiago/Mark's bullshit right up but that doesn't change the fact it's a mediocre game move.

I don't get what Gloria is doing this round. She wants Chad gone. I don't get it. Thiago outright lied to her and then she tells him how the vote is going. What is wrong with her? She will have the most options if Chad stays. I think Gloria feels like she is pulling off some mastermind move in getting Chad out because she feels secure in her relationships with Thiago/Knox. Given she is totally vulnerable with an idol almost everyone knows about the next two rounds, I feel she's just opening herself up to be one of the next two boots. Nothing Knox says or does will save her, and Thiago is playing a very selfish game, so I don't think he would either. The only saving grace for Glo is that Knox may flip, but if I'm a favorite that raises a huge red flag to me. I just don't think this is going to work out for Gloria like she thinks it will, and I almost feel like Thiago has manipulated her into wanting Chad out. She claims it's because she's worried about Chad/Bree but that's an absolutely ridiculous thing to worry about when there are tighter knit groups than that pair... which has fallen apart completely.

Thiago playing the idol on Mark is lulzy. They've gone out of their way to look like they are not together and this is about to signal a huge bounty on that duo.

[a hot fucking mess]

I've never thought gloria makes smart moves. she alienates people who are devoted to her and for little to no gain ever.

chad sux gotta luv him tho

knox flipping next round would be dumb mainly because the fans are all better and more Interesting than any of the faves

[dominic]

I feel like the only reason Knox is considering flipping is because he knows he's boring and he's trying to stretch his character for an All Star spot lol. And I'm sad to see Sam (not Chad) go. Love Sam, but Chad just played too sloppy this round to even deserve to stay haha

Except that Thiago gave his sword to Mark, so it won't actually say it's Thiago who played it on Mark. Definitely the right move for them.

It does look like Knox will flip next round... and yeah it'd be a real Cochran thing to do. He would allow Ben/Taylor + probably Gloria to go to the Final 3 and will get no respect for his game from the jury. I get that he doesn't like the condescending tone, but he did have a poor social game up to this point so what can they do yknow...

Wrote that before I saw Mark play it. (oops xD) Its the better way to go but I feel like Gloria will still figure out Thiago went straight to Mark with it. They can't risk Mark going though so.

Hmmmm BEN?? seriously he‘s been soooo great this season, I don‘t understand how anybody couldn‘t be rooting for his success after Thiago‘s actions.

oh and stop that blind hatred of Liam. You need to see the light and realize he‘s really interesting.

And Carly‘s cute/funny.

Knox wants to flip because his tribemates are treating him like a child and a vote. It has nothing to do with All-Stars.

Oh please. "I AM KNOX AND I AM GOING TO BE INDEPENDENT AND SUCH A FORCE IN THIS GAME...after I listen to them and do what they say this round." If he wanted to be a force in this game, he would've flipped this round.

He's all bark and no bite, but you can disagree. That's why we have opinions Ellen, so please stop wording your posts like your opinion is the definite correct answer.

I respectfully disagree .

A much better response that doesn't make the other person feel like you think they're a complete dumbass.

I also don't think Knox flipping is a Cochran move because he's at the bottom of most of the Fan's boot lists, whereas Cochran was in a great position on his original tribe and swapped for 7th/8th. Knox could go deep if he plays his cards right but it seems like he'll be a lamb led to the slaughter if he simply sticks with the Fans.

[emily]

Seeing as how tight the Admothingy 4 are, Knox wouldn't have a shot at getting to the end with the favorites though. He would have to hope that Gloria somehow finds her way in with them, probably via their outside of the game relationship with Ben. To me it seems like he wants to flip just for the sake of flipping, not to put himself in a better spot. Sure, it might get him 5th rather than 6th, but I think if he would just step up his social game a few notches he would be much better off.

I think Starr and Bree would be below Knox on the fans totem pole btw, but I haven't been checking boot lists.
