Either way i hope she gets got :birdman: I hate the girls who play that floater game (still mad about Amber on All Stars) and why none of these nikkas realize they are 10x more dangerous than the physical threats still baffles me.
Sandra over Russell and Parvati in HvV, Natalie over Russell in Samoa, Fabio over Sash in Nicaragua and to a lesser extent Tina over Colby in Australia. :scusthov:

I hate when that shyt happens.

I think Ciera is in a comfortable spot because they would vote her mother out (again) before her and she is more valuable at this point than Laura. Ciera may quietly stay in the game because she's not on their radar. It happens all the time and I don't see it changing. It's a staple of this game.

@GreatestLaker i never saw Hayden's season of Big Brother...Seeing that he won, i'm assuming he was a good player...was he low key on there as he is on Survivor?
Yes, very low key. He plays a very under the radar game. It didn't translate well on the show, but if you watched the live feeds you saw how good he is. That's why opinions differ on him. Live feed watchers rank at worst as the 5th best player ever and tv only watchers sometimes don't even have him in the top 10. Ian has him as the 3rd best player ever. I have him 4th.

I'm trying to think of a comparison, but I can't really think of a good one. Hayden is somewhat similar to Drew from BB5, but a much better player. Did you watch Big Brother Canada? Emmett played a similar game to him, but Hayden was a lot more dominant in challenges. I think his best Survivor comparison would be Tom the winner of Survivor Palau.

Thanks breh, I always was a fan of Tom's game from Survivor but i never liked Drew from BB just cause he was my least liked horsemen. Seeing as he is a previous reality TV winner, i have been very impressed with Hayden's ability not to paint a huge target on himself so far this season :patrice:

He's had help. There have been people who have made a bigger scene (Colton, Culpepper) and his tribe was getting their behinds handed to them for a long time. That helped him to look like less of a concern in the eyes of everyone.

He is good at not making himself into a target. Hayden was a huge threat in BB12. Had the most comp wins, was extremely likeable and he was backstabbing people left and right. He was a lock to win if he made it into the final 2. Yet EVERYONE wanted to go to the final 3 with him. He has a way of making you do what he wants without you realizing. You saw how he played Kat in RI? That's classic Hayden.

Malcolm in the Philippines is another player I'll say that played a similiar game to Hayden.

This episode was weirdly edited and I wasn't really feeling it. Gervase pissed me off during the food challenge. What was with all that jumping around and that extra nonsense? Lucky for him, he's in a good spot with Tyson because that was just silly. Monica was cracking me up with how nervous she always gets. Laura was right when she said that she has the necklace so what is there to worry about.

I wish they would stop showing Tyson pondering on whether or not to tell the tribe that he has the idol. We all know that he isn't going to tell them so please let that go. I'm glad that Vytas got the boot although I believe him to be an extremely strong player. Had this been a different season, he would do very well. He goaded Monica something serious and she fell for it hook, line and sinker. She shouldn't have said anything. Vytas was so hurt that he was throwing shots at Aras on Redemption. That was funny to see.

I like when they include challenges that anyone can win. Katie winning was unexpected but it brought the lulz seeing Tina scramble. I was yelling at the TV for how dumb Katie was to literally be not playing any kind of game until her mother brought it up to her. Then she wins immunity so you knew Tina was next. I hope that this next Redemption Island challenge is a good one. I would like to see Vytas ultimately come back in the game and have Tina get knocked out so the remaining players can sweat the possibility during the remaining time.

With all the fire thrown Tyson and Gervase's way, they have more than enough members to vote them smooth off the show. I wonder if they'll wise up or with the rest of the season follow suit?

I have to disagree with you. I thought it was a really good episode and Gervase's game play has really impressed me so far. You could've made a solid argument that he was one of the worst players ever his first time around. His game has improved a ton. I'm proud of him. His antics during challenge made him seem more likeable. The rest of the players were laughing. That's always a good thing.

With how the show is being edited, I think Cirrie is going to win, but this season is so hard to predict. That's part of why this season is soooo good.

I think it was a smart move that Tyson and Gervase didn't make a move against Monica. I think they need her when it comes down to 7. I think she will side with them over Hayden and Caleb, but then again she might decide to form a girl's alliance with Laura, Cierie and possibly Katie.

If I'm in a position of power, my only concern is making sure I have people who will have no qualms voting off the winner of the duel finale. That's people who will vote against Vytas, Aras and so far Tina which should be easy. My next goal is to take out Laura then Hayden. That can be used to solidfy Ciera's trust and eliminates a threat. Outside of those two people, I don't see anyone else that poses a threat. Then whoever comes back, it needs to be a team effort to prevent them from winning and send them home. I am keeping my eye on Monica because her nervousness also keeps her alert.

If I'm not in a position of power, the time is now to get Tyson and Gervase gone. I don't know who has the idol but it would be very easy to confirm that my non power folk don't have it. My immediate goal is to prevent an individual immunity win for Tyson and or Gervase then cast a split vote. That's Katie, Cerie, Monica, Laura, Caleb and Hayden. A 3/3 split with an idol played will bounce one of them because they only have two votes. From there, I'm knocking out Hayden and Laura once more. If I'm a girl, we sqauding up easy. If I'm a dude, I got some serious work to do. My sights would be set on Katie because her mom just left.

As a spectator, I hope that something happens to upset the course of the show. I'm all for seeing the people that I like win but I'd rather see upsets and fireworks. Of course, the non power folk can upset them at any time but I'd do it sooner rather than later because I want people battling against people who can send them home in the duels. I've been enjoying the hell out of this season because of the constant lulz being provided. I still gotta give a mention to Culpepper because he figured out a strategy that could have crushed the other competitors had he not zigged when he should have zagged.

What a freaking episode. I was ready to hate on Ciera but seeing her lay out her plan and put her mother on game was amazing. I didn't think that she had it in her but I was corrected. Seeing Aras lose and go home was the best scenario for the remaining players. Now it's Laura, Tina and Vytas. I don't know who to put my money on. It is truly a toss up with strong competition.

I called for more challenges where anyone can win and we have Monica with her second individual win. That was a smart play to give up the food but I don't know how far that will go for her. No one sees her with them in the finals but if she keeps winning, she'll be good money.

Tyson is playing a hard game and making all the moves. The jury will be filled with people who are there directly by his hand. I like that as a spectator but he'd have to have his charm on a million and play to the player in the jury to play the "I'm the one who did the work, I should win card".

I love how this is playing out but the others need to make a move. Tyson still hasn't won immunity but they're just playing to stay and get the spot that's reserved for them. Their chance is slipping away.

I still want to knock Laura down. Man, she was looking good once again this episode.
