Jon isnt live with us, but will hopefully throw in his two cents later! But Brooke the queen of America's thread joins us. How are you doing? I am doing great. Don't really have much skills on the Survivor front, since I didn't really make it too far in my season, but I'm ready to give some opinions. |

Well why dont you start it off with who you absolutely CANNOT stand at the moment. I know a few people are in desperate need of getting their torches snuffed. Right now I can tolerate almost everyone. Shocking, I know. Pepper (Expert) I can tolerate, but he's always definitely on my sh*t list. He's not socially adept for these games really. He always bites himself in the a** in the end. He brings the entertainment for sure, but he'll go wrong down the line either with how much power he thinks he has or his own allies will turn on him. Usually I can't stand James either because of his over the top comments and how much he usually always posts, but this season he's changed my mind. |

There's some people for me that are on my last nerve. For the most part everyone is playing a solid game by laying low while making moves that will help them in the merge. But with Kenny's exit last Tribal I dont know what to expect. What were your thoughts on Kenny's exit? Were you rooting for him?

He was in my top 5 people to root for. It was really confusing since the last I heard, Kenny was no where on the radar for that vote. I thought Expert was gone for sure. And if not Expert, Vova or Jacob. |

I was confused honestly with the decision in choosing Kenny. In my experience with playing with him once you lock into an alliance with him he's loyal to you. Pepper on the other hand definitely knows how to play a vicious game but still come out as a good guy. Are we seeing a repeat of his past showings with him going deep into the game and making the merge?

I gotta say having read Vietnam and now this game, Pepper knows how to work a social game to the point where he can flip a vote or not even have to use an idol to make people feel scared. I know you're "meh" with him and say he's not socially adept but he clearly knows how to play with people.

I could be wrong (my memory isn't working properly tonight), but E was on the very first Survivor and I'm pretty sure he made it far and then quit, which was his early forum game career reputation (he was more of a host, somewhat). The E I know has never been a great strategist or one to even finish a game, but I went up against him in a Big Brother and he was interesting. He's just very hard to read. It's really hard to tell if he's going the same route or not. But he does have an advantage this game and that's that he has a TON of friends in this game, so I can see him making it far, but can that whole 10 person alliance, now 9, really last? I don't think so. |

There was a very small portion of time that I wasn't around and I think it was around that season. I'm not going to say he's straight up bad, I'm shocked he had the balls to not play his idol, that's pretty smart. So I can see him doing decent plays, but I don't think he's going to make the end or close, just solely based on a power trip. |

He didn't play the idol so do you think he doesn't have it and was bluffing? That's a pretty ballsy move. I get Russell villain vibes with his willingness to take such a calculated risk.

It's hard to tell if he has an idol or not. The way he carries himself, it seems like he does. But in such a heated situation, if my name was thrown around and I really had an idol, I'd play it. |

Well let's move on from Raquel's favorite Peoper and talk about other people's strategys so far. Who do you think is playing a good social game? Who do you think will be biting the dust soon?

This cast is still so large, it's really hard to tell who is playing the best social game at the moment. James is doing a great job of keeping up with everyone and conversing with even those still playing under the radar it seems. I think Ashley is sitting in a decent spot currently and shockingly Kaitlyn as well. I think anyone who's friends within the La Familia could bite the dust really soon solely based on the implosion of Kenny leaving. I think a few members are very heated about the decision and all trust has dropped. But with the tribes so small, it depends on who loses the immunity Challenge. |

Also shout out to Sammy, my favorite person to play the game. He should have gone further.

Sammys exit while although shocking definetly made sense. I'm just not sure if going out so early was smart for some of these people especially since ganging up on a previous social game winner would have been a sure vote off later on. Why not taking out those who are
Known survivor legends like Vova?
