Well, another catastrophic event.
We had it in the bag, and then it slipped through our fingers.
Now Jason is gone.
My reaction:
Who cares! Jason and I have wanted each other out all game, he never gave me the time of day, and now I ladder up to Final 8 despite being on death's door for the past two weeks!
When I saw the first vote for Jason and realized that I wasn't going to be the one voted out:
I'm now potentially in striking distance of a reasonable (but still fairly-daunting) immunity run, especially if I find the idol, and thus, get a mulligan round. Although I feel like Sam or Brandon might have it by now.
Rundown of thoughts on people:
Grace - cool
Alex - gained a lot of respect for him; I assumed he'd be up Sam's ass for the rest of the game. I could actually see myself voting for him to win now, depending on how everything else plays out
Jason - gained more respect for him too, despite the above clowning
Jessie - actually a really good liar. I'm a little bit confused as to why she's leaving me out of things, because I legit would have voted for whoever she wanted to vote for, but hopefully it's at least somewhat reconciliable. My kryptonite in this game are (fellow?) inactives, because I tend to take them for granted, and thus, open myself up to be blindsided by them.
Sam - pretty much a god at this game. The way Jessie wouldn't even pretend to go after her this round just shows how deep Sam has sunk her claws in with everyone. Sam has at least 50% win equity at this point even though there's still 8 people in this game, which is preposterous.
Brandon - the way he confronted Grace before and after tribal was very weird. Sounded kind of sanctimonious, which is one of my least favorite qualities in this game.
Spencer - even though Sam is so well-insulated and respected at this point, Spencer is also in a very enviable position. Being the 2nd or 3rd biggest threat around is a nice lane. Really good social game as well; I think he's handled his relationship with me expertly. He'd also be such a good winner.
