Episode 01–? Commentary

[Jeff Probst]

This thread is for live up-to-date commentary on things you are reading/seeing around the forums. It should be more casual.

The blog forum will also feature Episodic threads, but there you should post your longer more detailed posts about events/the game as a whole.

Candice and Cecilia seem to be bonding quickly. They already seem to be planning out their alliance on Svinoy.

Last night, Flicka sent this message to Stephanie and Nate:

Just FYI I'm not gonna vote for either of you two if we have to go to tribal because you were the first ones here that I saw. Lol

Moving so quickly in the game could easily be a recipe for a trainwreck. I'm excited.


Mykines is definitely a quieter group.

[Jeff Probst]

I'm just glad everyone has finally shown up, except Mookie... Damn I have high hopes for him too.

[Caryn]

Yau Man is letting me down. Why the fuck would you go for that idol?

[Debb]

I'D TOTALLY SIT ON YAU MAN'S FACE.

[Jeff Varner]

I am loving the Jessica + Cassandra duo so far. They are quick standouts for me.

[Caryn]

This season I'm going to write my episode summaries as the season goes along and not wait until the end of the game to do them all like I did with Nepal (that was a bitch to do btw).

[Caryn]

Guys this place is fucking dead compared to Nepal. Where is Courtney? Chad? Ralph?

Why aren't you hosts being active here like you were in Nepal? It just makes things no fun.

Caryn is bored

[Caryn]

This better not be Namibia all over again where I'm the only Lurker.

[Kenny]

I'm here quietly lurking on everything.

[Jeff Varner]

I'm being active!

I really like the alliance brewing up on Mykines:

(Cassandra + Jessica + Liliana) + Anthony + Stacey

The name of the alliance is The Beautiful Alliance for Beautiful People (BA4BP) which I would like to call from now on as just simply BAP because three letters.

The ones in the ( )'s are what they are calling the Goddesses core of the BAP alliance which I like. If you've seen Nepal you know I love my ( ) 's and we've already got some ( )'s in episode 1.

[Kenny]

Definitely agree. They look quite solid and they're all pretty active, which bodes well for the rest of the game.

But Stacey and Anthony haven't responded to the big group chat yet. I'm not even sure if they're aware of the alliance yet. The Goddesses might have moved a bit too quickly on that one. They don't want to give away that they're a solid group of three within that group of five.

[Kimmi Kappenberg]

I can't help but notice that the alliance divisions on Mykines are pretty much between the more normal people and the crazies.

[Kimmi Kappenberg]

Also, can I just comment on how perfect Rocky is in terms of casting? Like, seriously, he's hilariously on point and he hasn't even seen Fiji.

I feel like the correct thing to do with the public immunity idol is to take it and play it at the first tribal, to show that you're willing to do things for others.

Not that it does anything for the others, really, and it still gives you immunity for a round, but just be clear with everyone that it's just been taken to be burned.

[Jeff Probst]

Weekends are rough. We should all be very active this season :)

Looks like we got a group talkative group too. Already loving Candice, Rebecca, Candice, Jessica and Cecilia. Flicka annoying the fuck after anyone <333

That would be the smart thing to do. Gets it out of the way, prevents other people from having it, solidifies your place in your tribemates' eyes. Too bad Yau is probably the last person to do something for someone else.

[Caryn]

I knew I shouldn't have picked Yau. Bad mistake.

Plus the Crashcourse version of Yau fucking sucks.

Totally agree but in reading it, I didn't get that impression from them UNTIL they started messaging the group one after another for like 10 messages straight which is obviously not good. On the other hand, Stacy wasn't there so it was just really Anthony who was kind of in the mix but not really. I think they'll be ok in that regard.

Also, looks like Mookie has popped up and seems to have already in like one hour made more progress with his tribe than Nate has since the game has started.
