I thought Steph's whole outburst was annoying and forced, honestly. Like, I don't blame her for fighting back at all. I mean, that's all you can do when your neck's on the chopping block and you know it. But there's much smarter ways of going about it than going the "you're all dumb for voting for me and almost all of you are goats for doing it" route. I feel like insulting the people you're trying to get to vote with you isn't going to do much more than solidify their decision to put your name down. And to just assume that only one or two people wanted her gone and the rest were just following orders and didn't have their own reasons for voting for her is pretty ignorant, if you ask me. That kind of statement is going to be great for putting a target on someone's back in a future round, like Stacey did to me when she went out in Nepal, but it's going to do jack squat when it comes to getting people to change their votes in the moment. All in all I thought she was a lot of bluster and I'm not sad she's gone.

I don't know, I kind of thought she won me over in the last few rounds. After the 2nd swap it became clear that she was in control of things and doing a very good job of ruling her harem. She was a boss bitch and I'm glad hse went out in a blaze of glory and showed some amazing personality doing so. I can repsect it... Will definitely earn her a returnee slot. I also loved that it closed out the storyline of her vs. Jessica over a 3 episode-arch <3

lololol wtf at Nate. He had to have thrown that for Cecilia. Nate probably had a diagram out and knew exactly what he was doing because Cecilia was the boot-to-be and if he wins, she's a goner.

Also funny is this exchange:

Nate in PM to Penner, Candice, Stacy, Cassandra, Jessica, Cecilia:

who's the vote?


Cecilia replies to the group.

Lil's the vote


going from a foot out the door to bossing around orders.

The interesting thing here will be how the allianceS decide between Lil or Jessica. Candice and Cassandra have both been working with Lil on the side while Jessica's been trying to attach herself and she is included in that big group so no one will say anything in there outright (Cecilia is in the group and she was the target) but Cass is saying Flicka to the group, lol.
