They won't show it on TV, although her being brought up as a target will likely happen later. It's just a way to get clicks for CBS, usually something they would have showed, but didn't have time.
I get the clickbait stuff, and I try to avoid those. I prefer to talk about what we've seen and debate potential events with people who all have the same info.

If I'm in the minority, I'll just drop out of the thread. I had to do that in the GofT threads because people insisted on announcing what would happen next according to the books.

JMHO. :)

Yeah Jeremy screwed up hard by playing safety without power, however, I don't blame him since it seemed he was the most at risk of leaving and his note said he had until the final 10 (That tribal council) to play it.

I mean Kim could've played it on him and saved his butt but the order was Sarah stole Denise's vote, Jeremy played his safety. Now his alliance could get Pagonged.

I think you can argue they could/should have played it differently, but I'm not sure it changes the outcome. The voting would've been 7-3 instead of 7-2 (Michele flipped). Plus Jeremy runs the risk of Kim not playing her idol on him. I'm guessing Kim and Denise would've done the same thing.

Not sure how solid the fivesome that voted together truly is. Tony and Ben are wildcards and I could easily see them going back to Jeremy this next episode to target Sophie/Sarah.

I get this concern, but honestly that final five isn't staying together. They just don't do that anymore which makes a better show. Plus I could see them bringing back somebody from Edge tonight to make the teams even again, especially after everybody blew through all their advantages last week.

It was my understanding that they are only bringing two people back from the Edge. I'd be really surprised if they brought someone back tonight, given how many are still surviving in the regular game. I'm guessing when there are five or less. But hey, I could be wrong! :D

I don't think Jeremy screwed up. The voting has been too fluid to count on anything and based on Sophie rounding up 5 to decide the vote last minute, my guess is Jeremy was the target. In Survivor, sometimes you just have to make it to the next round then let the chips fall and see what happens.

They caught some backlash for doing this last time. Chris got to spend the entire game hanging out with the jury and came back with an idol and just had to beat Devens in fire making for the win. I would be surprised if they bring someone back that late again, but at the same time I know Jeff really loves Edge of Extinction more than (most) of the fans.

That was beautiful. Glad to Sarah among those blindsided. I'm a Sarah fan but her game and attitude this time around reeks of cockiness and arrogance.

I’m rooting for Tony. He seems like he is playing on another level by the edits . Now Jeremy owes him. Guessing he will
Use that idol soon .

Ben was super suprised by that vote. I still
Like his spot in the game though

That was a big move by Tony. Will be interesting to see how he does damage control with Sarah and Ben though, this season you are playing with people who are winners so you have to be careful just when and how many moves you make too. I thought Jeremy was going home as he has been all over the place on who he trusts and always is second guessing. The thing that I don't like now though is where does Tony go from here because now Kim, Michelle, and Denise now could have changed their fates if Tony flips on his alliance. That would be disappointing to me because right now I think Tony, Ben, and Sarah are the best players left and would like to see them be the final 3 but I doubt that happens because usually at least 1 of the weakest players left rides someone's coattail to the final 3.

I'm tired of Rob so I am rooting that he doesn't make it back into the game. Heck at this point I hope Tyson makes it back and is the first person to get voted out 3 times in a single season.

What is it you don't like about Rob? Probst has said Rob is probably his favorite player of all time.

There was a little more to it than just having to beat Devens in the fire challenge. First, Chris conviced Devens to give half the idol to him and he'd give it back. He used it to backstab Devens. Then he had safety but volunteered to give it up to prove he could beat Devens in the fire challenge. These were all steps he HAD to complete via conversations with the jury on the edge before he came back. The others told him if he doesn't make enough big moves he has no shot.

I have no issues with Chris winning even though I still believe Gavin should have own the season.

He just needs to ride off into the sunset. Hes a good player but hes probably got more air time than anyone in the history of the show.

There is a reason for that. He's been amazing TV for 20 years love or hate him people watch.

Easily best episode of the season and one of the best episodes in a long time. Unreal performance from Tony. Finding an idol, avoiding a huge punishment, winning immunity, and pulling off a 4-3-2 blindside. I was in shock.

THIS is what I was expecting from this season.
