I don't know if Mike think its smart to do Patrick's clique a favor and target Ricky but it's not... yikes

[Carlos]

Shon is woke, nuff said

[Carlos]

Nathan is one to watch for !!!

[Carlos]

Mike: leaks the alliance to Christen, who tells brady

Also mike: I think shon leaked the alliance🤔🤔🤔

[Carlos]

This round will come down to Patrick vs Ricky. I think the smarter option is def Patrick because of his connections but the more likely option is Ricky. I definitely surprised that people aren't actually looking at what Ricky is selling and seeing that there is in fact truth to it. I think a lot of people are against working with Ricky even for one vote because of his ways.

Nathan is sounding like a smart dumb person on this call right now....

The Agi Boat just came off a unanimous vote against Jayla. Winning this immunity was great for tribe unity because I don't know who would be the easy boot in the tribe and different people would have different agendas and preferences. I think John would like Stephen gone. Brady/Ryan would like Logan gone, but I don't think John and Amber would be down for that.


The standouts of this tribe are...



John is really in a good spot in his tribe right now I'd say. He isn't someone that is overplaying his cards but he has decent relationships with the right people in his tribe that will make him safe for a bit.

Brady is playing the usual manipulator game. He has an alliance with literally every single person in his tribe except for Logan. It's such a risky gameplay but it's so amazing how NOBODY compares notes... He was who told EVERYONE about the call created by Jayla yet for some reason nobody tells anyone who did it! Honestly, they trust Brady so much... I guess they dont know him. Christen is onto him or claims to know what he is doing but I don't know.

Bodhi is just an icon. He is doing so much better socially than his first time around. I think people may not trust him fully but I don't think people would target him just yet. He has a good chance of making it far! 


Some mentions....
Ryan is playing the same old game. He finds someone and pretends like it's not obvious that they'd get along for whatever reason that is. He did it in Gilligan with Taylor and XTC would constantly say how "I want to work with such and such because nobody would see it coming"... but anyone and everyone he works with is completely predictable 

However, he has been super low key this season which may help him in the long run!

Adam is doing SO much better this season. I barely hear people talking about him. ICON. Good job Adam, keep your mouth shut buddy


Stephen is going to get himself in trouble if he doesn't stop acting clueless to people . That worked perfectly in season 4 where it was a group of people against 1 or 2 people so he was able to just lie his ass out. But with the interconnections here, it won't work out.


Logan I can see getting far. I don't know how well he is doing socially but I know he is trying to take a different route and not be super game-botty and shit. It can work because people may not see him as a target. But he also comes across expendable. 

[Carlos]

Stephen thinks Bodhi/Brady/Himself are at the bottom. And Logan is working with the people controlling the tribe....


Lol yikessssssss

[Carlos]

The vote keeps flip flopping back and forth WOW

[Carlos]

This tribe is SO messy. They are playing HARD. I think this tribe is very interesting and tonight is the vote, and it is still up in the air! 50/50 between Ricky and Patrick tonight. Both great players who will be missed in the game. It'll be a HUGE set of the tone for the rest of the season...


The standouts for this tribe...


Frances - I think she's playing the game, she's out there and up front with her gameplay. I think she's very smart and is making her presence that she's here to play.

Ricky - He is just a massive mess and the talk of the town. I said it before but he isn't making merge in this cast. He is super entertaining but pushes people away with his personality. 

Shon - is such an underrated player. He has SO many number ones. He is one of watch out. People will underestimate him. 

Mike - Messy Messy Messy, Who knows what Mike is doing. I think Mike will get his way this round but he has definitely lost people's trust being wishy washy. 

Patrick hasn't been around much for the start of the game but he is still a standout because of his name constantly coming around. I don't know if he'll survive tonight but he still big personality in the tribe.


Some mentions....

Trevor - I think he is doing SO much better than his first season. Good Good Good. He is smart and I think he'll make it far!

Travis seems so out of it, I don't know if he'll last long.

Nathan is finding some friends in Shon/Billy... But he needs to be more flexible to not push them away.

[Carlos]

Patrick leaving sucks because he is super engaged and a great player. However, I do think it was the right move to make for the tribe in the Patrick vs Ricky debate because of Patrick's connection. In a tribe swap situation, the boys would have a lot of numbers plus other connections that would allow them to control the game for a hot minute. While the boys still have a good powerful position, losing Patrick was a huge hit to them.

My thoughts on Round 2 as a whole-

I was pretty shocked to see Patrick go. For much of the week it seemed like Ricky's numbers had crumbled and most of his people had flipped to Patrick's side. Shon really put in work for Patrick to leave and Ricky to stay. Extremely impressive of him to be able to secure the votes. When the tribes were first created, I assumed Ricky and Patrick would probably work together, since they were both gigantic targets but it never worked out like that. The island, or in this case the "boat" was not big enough for the both of them. The rivalry was very Tony vs Sandra-esque. If Patrick stayed, he would have most likely dominated the game. This was probably one of the only shots people were going to have to get rid of him. Ricky is still a big threat, who is hated by over half the cast and will most likely not make merge. Therefore, this was a smart decision, it just makes the players who voted Patrick out very vulnerable at the swap since now all of Patrick's friends will be looking for revenge.
