Round 11 - Do YOU have an idol?

[Admin]

The fact that Spencer bought himself an extra round and a ticket to final 4 by bluffing an idol is amazing. PROPS Spencie.

I'm going to speak a little more to what was added above.

After Sam was voted out, she burned Spencer in the group chat. She told everyone on the call that they are dumb for taking him further (but taking you further would be better for... whose game?). Sam: everyone knows how dangerous Spencer is. They rode his coattails into Final 5.

Knowing he is clearly public enemy number one, rather than being backed into a corner, Spencer pounced onto an opportunity. The Fake Idol. Spencer tells Grace that he found an idol that was under the OTHER code (di582 and lockdi582), because they both produce the picture. Grace asked production a few days ago if those were two different idols or the same idol hidden with the same clue. Well, it was the latter. I'm not sure how Spencer knew Grace was paranoid of the opportunity there are two idols out there. He tells Grace in a group chat everything she needed to hear to be convinced that he has an idol: the correct code, what production did afterward and how he found it. Grace was SHOOK. This is an A+ play by Spencer. He was dead on arrival going into Final 5, unless he wins immunity. Yet, even BEFORE they compete, he has it in their heads that he is safe. Telling Grace this early, rather than waiting for the results, really put Grace into a corner.

Now Grace/Alex are hoping they can keep immunity away from Spencer/Torry, so they can guarantee themselves in F4. IC happens and Grace wins.

On paper, I even recall saying out loud "well, it's a Grace/Alex/Jessie Final tribal council and Grace probably wins with a 4 vote plurality or better". Even the Viewer's Lounge was convinced that Grace would play her idol on Alex and those two would secure their bond at F4 to go to the end together. The only thing standing in their way was Spencer winning immunity at final 4. Torry would be gone by nightfall today...

Then Grace got real worried about Alex stealing some of her votes at FTC (which, rightfully so), now her vote has shifted on to voting Alex out tonight with Torry and Jessie. They have an all girls alliance (Grace/Jessie/Torry).

... the only issue is Grace told Spencer about the plan this morning (BAD MOVE, GRACE! SO BAD). Spencer now wants to get Torry and Alex to vote out Jessie, preserving a pissed off Alex at F4, hoping Alex will take Spencer in the end. Alex has been keeping Grace in the loop with everything (because he's not playing) and now Grace is basically staring down Spencer waiting for him to make his move.

Grace is thinking Spencer will play his "idol" on Alex to save him.

Torry knows he has a fake idol. She has the fake idol intel, and she's Spencer's swing vote to get Jessie out.

When Torry should have been leaving tonight, she has the LOWEST potential to go home tonight. Most likely to go home (in order from most likely to least):

1. Alex
2. Jessie
3. Spencer
4. Torry

WOW wow ... wow.
