This challenge :0

Papa :0

[Kimmi Kappenberg]

Poor Papa Smurf. I think If he managed to get to the merge he would've been able to cause all kinds of fun. Winning immunity was great to keep him safe but it limited his ability to go crazy.

[Trashley Markwood]

I ain't too mad though, I like Jessica a whole lot. Sorry Papa, you were cool.

[Jeff Probst]

Papa had potential but never got the opportunity to deliver. Some other people were delivering so in a way im glad he went :'( sorry paps.

[Trashley Markwood]

Everyone remember to do the FF poll! Takes 2 minutes if that :)

Summary of tonight's events on Svinoy:

Flicka has the HII. Jessica has the TII. Stephannie has the PII (from the challenge).

Everyone and their mom makes it obvious to Flicka that Flicka is going home. Flicka becomes aware of this because it is blatantly obvious, so she will use her idol.

Flicka tells Steph about the idol and the plan to usurp Jessica. Steph jumps on board.

Steph decides she wants more numbers in on this, so she tries to tell Rocky.

Others including Rocky tell Flicka pretty much straight up she is going home. Flicka tells Rocky (paraphrase) "thanks for telling me. I want you to win. Knock 'em dead, Rock".

Steph decides she wants Liliana in on the plan now. She tells Liliana that there are 4 votes. Lil is like ???

Tribal begins. Steph plays her idol NATURALLY.

FLICKA SHOWS HER HII AT THE BEGINNING OF TC, LMFAO.

Jessica, Flicka's target, decides to play the idol because Flicka showed her idol.

LMAO.

Baby girl Jess touched by an ANGEL ♡♡♡♡

Flicka's going to keep her idol through this, that's the best part. Why would she play it at this point?

She didn't sit on it, how disappointing.

If she sat on it or played it on Rocky, I would've thought it was a good move. Sitting on it would've been brilliant.

Unfortunately I think it's just bumblefuck after bumblefuck for that entire tribe.

I think she should have kept it 100% every day of the week, but it isn't ALL bad. For starters, she is safe until merge almost definitely because they have majority, so she won't need the idol. Also, it gets rid of the stigma of her having it, which isn't a bad thing to have if you play it right, but Flicka doesn't exactly know that.

Plus, it also eases her mind, free ride until F13. If she keeps it and left, how terrible would that be.

[Sandra]

and JP leaves after all that. I'm surprised.

As someone who sat on an idol at 13 and got booted that night (granted it was a hybrid so there were a bunch of mitigating factors) it definitely sucks, lol.
