Episode 2 Commentary

[Trashley Markwood]

Tribe swap!

[Caryn]

I feel like the swap worked horribly for Rocky, who's one of my favorites. Hope he doesn't get screwed here.

[Jeff Varner]

Mykines: Jessica, Cecilia, Papa Smurf, Nate, Stacy, JP
Hestur: Penner, Cassandra, Adam, Mookie, Candice, Anthony
Svinoy: Steph, Liliana, Flicka, Rocky, Rebecca, Yau

My quick takes on the tribe swap:

Mykines:

JP has the immunity and Nate is new Nate, he is probably a low-hanging fruit for the former-Mykines so Cecilia's seat is probably a little hot. Though, I can see her and Jessica getting along and I can also see them all teaming up to get rid of Nate. I think Jess, PS and Stacy should be good this episode.

Hestur:

Seemingly the best and most interesting tribe. Candice seems to think she's in trouble being a weak challenge performer but I don't see any of the previous Svinoy (Adam, Candice, Penner) flipping on each other at this time. Mookie seems a little iffy on Cassandra so I could potentially see her or Anthony being booted first if they are to lose, otherwise it might be a fun 50:50 split relying on crafty social maneuvering which gives the advantage to Svinoy, in my opinon

Svinoy:

What a mess of a tribe. A bunch of boring people surround Rocky and Yau. Flicka mentioned she was upset at how low she was ranked by her former tribe and wanted to flip for revenge. Rebecca I think was aware of her position on the former tribe and could be swayed into making a move also. The person in the worst spot in the game right this very minute is clearly Stephannie. It probably could'nt've have gone worse -- maybe if she had gotten Nate instead of Rebecca -- but that is really it. Not to mention they don't seem like the best crop of challenge competitors. Her one saving grace may be Yau and his idol.

Tbh Hestur is the tribe i care least about at this exact moment. Mykines has a lot of my faves on it so they better not lose heaps of challenges :(

Svinoy in a closed 2nd

[Ralph]

thank you for the update varner-san

[John Cochran]

I think Svinoy will be hitting the most TC's

And with Rocky, Yau, and Flicka all in one place.... Will we possibly get a mini tribe more train-wrecked than Bracari??

[Sandra]

Cassandra's comment on Nate lol

[Ramona]

I feel so bad for Steph. She really needs to get crafty especially with Rocky and Yau's plan to rebel against the leaders, Steph and Lilliana.

I agree with Jeff. Svinoy seems like a very boring tribe. I hope when they inevitably attend TC that something crazy happens and Rebecca randomly leaves.

Hestur is my favorite tribe as of right now, though I don't understand Candice's paranoia. Stop complaining and make something happen?

[Sandra]

Hestur is definitely the most interesting, I'd love for them to make it through a round or two without having to vote so they forge some stronger bonds.

[Kenny]

Jessica not putting Papa Smurf for gluttony boggles my mind.

[Kenny]

The inability of teams to coordinate their answers is quite tragic.

[Ramona]

Rebecca being pessimistic would make me target her if Svinoy does lose. The least you could do is try to boost morale, not give up? It's a guessing game. Guess correctly and you're back in it.

[Ramona]

I hope someone on Svinoy still gives a snarky confessional about Jessica's comment. <3
But Svinoy winning and Stephennie having more time to alter a seemingly inevitable fate<3

[Trashley Markwood]

It's like the gods want to make sure the divisive characters stick around ♡

[Caryn]

Shut the fuck up PDC. Hestur is the best tribe and we're probably going to lose the best player in this game unless he wins the tribal immunity, which will be a big blow to the season.

[Kimmi Kappenberg]

That whole challenge was a mess. And Hestur losing is a travesty. I swear, if Penner leaves this early I'm going to be upset. BUT it looks like Mookie might be willing to flip so hope is being kept alive.

[Jeff Probst]

This night of live feeding has been some of the most exciting of all time. Hestur <3333 Back and forth and back and forth.

[Kenny]

Yesterday I watched "Man from U.N.C.L.E" which I rate 5/8. The main problem is that Superman and Army Hammer had more sexual chemistry with each other than any of the romantic leads.

Now I really want to watch this movie. Great choice for a replacement Nate. This guy is hilarious.


As for Hestur, all of the scrambling last night was awesome. I'm happy that it seems like we have the four best players on the tribe all forming one supergroup with Penner, Candice, Cassandra, and Mookie. Cassandra seems to be the main woman in charge although the others (except for Candice) aren't really noticing that yet.

[Brenda Lowe]

we're probably going to lose the best player in this game unless he wins the tribal immunity, which will be a big blow to the season.

Who is this? I really haven't read your opinions yet

I think it is slowly looking like Adam might be toast. Candice seems certain anyway.

[Caryn]

Penner, although I would say at this point Candice & Cass have surpassed him.

Candice/Cassandra/Penner are the 3 smartest players here and they're all on the same tribe. That's fucking crazy.
