I feel like a was a bigger Devens fan than I am a Shan fan at this point in the game. But that season was so weird considering someone who got almost no edit was the eventual winner 😅

Shan, being "pastoral" does not mean being bossy.
I have no effing clue what Purple Heather was trying to do. Maybe the reason she's had next to no airtime is because she's BSC. Or clueless. Although part of me thinks it was staged.
I really wish they would stop with allowing the chatter at tribal.
Tiffany grew on me so I will miss her and I'm glad she made the jury.
I'm so glad Xander saw right through Ricard's attempt to get him to play waste his idol.
I don't see the foursome of Shan, Liana, Deshawn and Danny lasting as there is too much friction between Deshawn and Shan. Both came off badly in their spats. He also bugged me with his "how very dare they" about Xander, Tiffany, and Evvie scrambling. They are allowed to play the game, too.
Ricard eating the papaya after having a big lunch with real food was such a Ricard thing to do. Although irony of ironies, he had never had it before and turns out, he's allergic.

Jeff asking why does everybody know what everyone else has like he didn’t make them all announce it in the middle of a challenge.

I am so confused about what happened with that Naseer vote. Why did Shan use her 2 votes on 2 different people to force a tie? Why not just vote for naseer and keep her extra vote for later if that was the outcome they were hoping for…I feel like I am missing a huge piece of the puzzle.

I was so confused by that whole thing too. Also, I felt like the tribal segments were on like 1.5x speed. I know they were squeezing in two eliminations, but they flew threw that.

Well, the know it all’s shed no light for me. They seem to think it was insurance for them not trusting each other fully? A ploy by Ricard to get rid of one of Shan’s advantages? They disagree on whether or not it was a good move for Shan (Stephen says yes, Rob says no). I still don’t know why she needed the extra vote other than that Ricard told her to.

We’re they trying to cast doubt on which one of them flipped for jury management purposes?

And why didn’t Xander use any of his advantages to save Evvie?? Christian (from David vs Goliath) brought up through Twitter/text to Rob that if Xander would have played his extra vote to force a 3-3 tie between evvie and liana then it would have been a 2-2 tie on a revote and Danny and deshawn would have been forced to either turn on Liana or draw rock themselves.
That would have been amazing.

I was reading a recap and they said Ricard and Shan voted for Heather but played the extra vote on Naseer to protect them in case Naseer played his idol, there was a plan they didn't know about, or someone had an idol/advantage they didn't know about. If they both voted for Heather and Heather had an idol and they threw an extra vote on Naseer it works, but only if Naseer didn't play his idol. It just seems like a wasted advantage for a lot of what ifs.

And now they got rid of the guy that helped fill their bellies. Not smart.

It’s only a matter of time before Xander goes I’m afraid. He is the only one left of his group of three (Tiff and Evvie) after Lianna clearly switched sides. He probably won’t win immunity again.
I’m over Lianna. Xander helped keep their tribe (I.e her) alive and she hates him. I was so grossed out by hearing her say “look at his face. I hate it/him”. I’m also over Shan. I was really rooting for her, but she’s so messy. Her teaming up with Liana is making me not like either of them even more.
The last 3 boots have been people I didn’t want to see go …

I was glad to see both Erika and Xander win immunity, especially after them showing those two sitting on the beach talking, after Shan decided to vocalize “the four” going off and having their own conversation. Shan is just so so messy.

I am very glad Xander didn't waste his idol or extra vote to save Evvie. She's already been shown not to be trustworthy where he is concerned. She has been gunning for him since the beginning, including telling DeShawn about his idol, and would have booted him in a heartbeat.
Liana, who wants to be Shan 2.0 so badly, can go any time now as her comments about hating his face et al were pretty shitty.
She's just so bitter that she overplayed her hand with asking for his idol and was so smugly sure about him having it and cannot let it go that he outplayed her.

My husband and I rewound the show 3 times to make sure we saw correctly that Shan cast votes for each. We just kept saying that can't be right, no she didn't, did we read it right? Most confusing, unnecessary, and advantage wasteful move I have ever seen. Still do not understand it at all.
I think the people like Danny win. He is mostly keeping quiet and not making waves with anyone which should take him far. People fighting like Shan and Ricard are going to take each other out. I'd love Xander to go all the way but I think it's stacked against him.

I’ve listened to all of the RHAP podcasts this week and they’ve brought up some really interesting strategy discussions regarding this weeks tribal councils and advantages. One being that if everything that Shan and ricard were protecting against by their weird extra vote decision had actually happened it would have resulted in one of them leaving and another being that heather not playing the shot in the dark should have been a big clue to naseer that he needed to play his idol.
I’ve tried lots of times to type out the explanation of the Shan/ricard thing and I can’t make it make sense but it’s in the first 20 minutes if the why ___ lost podcast if anyone wants to listen.

I have tried to wrap my head around the Shan voting for both Heather and Naseer and all I’ve got is building trust with Ricard and hedging bets if Naseer played his idol. But yeah. My head hurts, trying to unravel all that.

I've been watching Australian Survivor (Season 4) on Paramount+ and, dare I say, it's much better than US Survivor. FIFTY days!

Yes, the RHAP explanations really helped me understand why they thought they needed to do it. I don't think they should have used it, but given their hungry and tired brains and not wanting to leave, especially with advantages in their pockets, I get it.
