Episode 6: "The Workings of Oz" & Episode 7: "The Dog Days"

Episode 6 thread? 

I totally didn't even think about Gray in terms of the tribe separation of male/female... he has bad luck on all male tribes and there was a reason he mutinied the first time out. He'll do well once merge hits if he gets through the next 2 rounds ok. 

[Host Sandy]

I think he defended himself pretty well in his last confessional about him being in a pretty alright spot compared to a lot of other people on the mens tribe. I think he has a decent shot of making the merge. He's sneaky enough to get there!

I'm hoping for the sake of every good and amazing Michigander that Adam is eliminated

[brady]

Fuck Adam

[maranda]

I don't get why they aren't leading towards Adam .

The men's tribe is a hot mess & is completely falling apart at the seams. There is so much hate within this tribe for literally everyone I feel like. I've always heard girls bring the drama, but not on this tribe of guys. Its quite the opposite. They are all over the place & seem to be switching things up constantly.

Before the vote, some sort of alliance was formed with Daniel, Miller, Zach, & Chris, which was very short lived. It only came about because of a slip up Gray made where he posted in the wrong Skype window.  One thing they talked about before hand was that if the men lost the challenge they felt like Chris would most likely be sent over to the girl's tribe. That was correct & Zach told him beforehand to let the Dontok girls know they were together in hopes they'd work with him. I wonder how that's going to turn out or if Chris will even use that now. Now, that Daniel's gone, I'm wondering how everything is going to play out. Everything seems so split within the tribe. I feel like there's still a lot of hate for Justin as well. I'm going to miss Daniel in the game. I love watching him play.

I'm honestly loving the girl's tribe so much more than the boy's right now. I'm really hoping the girl's can stay strong going into merge & hopefully this season we'll see an all girl final three. Plus, a girl winner which would be the best! I'm interested to see how the girl's welcome Chris into the tribe. In some confessionals, they've talked about voting out whoever it is right away & others seem excited to see if they can work with the guy. I'm hoping Chris can stick around & hang with the girls for the meantime.

It looks like Kim & Kay are setting themselves up with tons of alliances/deals. Hopefully, none of that backfires on them. There is some sort of alliance/deal with Kim, Kay, & Martyna. Kim's starting to like Kay/Martyna over Tierra/Des, which is pretty interesting to me considering Tierra/Des are from her original tribe. Kim says she meshes well with them, especially Kay. I'm a huge fan of Kim, so whatever it takes for her to get farther I'm all for.

Its looking like Lilly is sitting on the ousts of the tribe because of her connections with Adam/Eric. I feel like Eric/Adam are completely hindering to Lilly's game.

UGH! UGH! UGH!

i feel behind and i don't even know if i want to catch up at risk of hating every single person on the men's tribe... i wish i could read spoilers to see that they lose so i can at least watch knowing it ahead of time

Before I played my first org EVER (iS) Sandy gave me probably the best advice that has stuck with me, He said with a game like this you pretty much get out of it what you PUT INTO IT... AND KIM BABY GIRL you my friend, YOU ARE PUTTING A LOT INTO THIS GAME! I have grown to really love this woman, and I can tell she is serious about it especially after watching her latest episode 7 confessional! I don't really see her going anytime soon!! As of right now the girls (and chris) seem to be more unified than ever which is weird considering I think for the most part we all thought the men would DESTROY the woman... I'm happy that is NOT the case and that the girls are kicking ass! I JUST REALLY REALLY WANT A GIRL WINNER FOR ONCE! I have a strong feeling we just might get one

[stephkatz]

so before we start on Ep 8...

Ginny is growing on me. I love that she sees that Kim is a threat and wanted to keep Lilly because she'd be able to work with Adam/Eric that way. My hope going into this merge is that she can't be the mediator between Gray and Chris perhaps? Maybe be able to work with Gray/Chris/Adam/Eric? Maybe bring Tanya in since she seems to not really be doing much with Kay anymore..

That would go against Kim/Tierra/Kay/Martyna/Des/Zac since Zac would be on the outs with the guys after this last tribal.... That puts Justin in the middle as enemy #1 which is great for drama, and fitting for him, as he should be the one who goes home at the merge.

My favorite thing ever would be if somehow Kay idols out Justin, however my scenario above seems realistic and that puts Kay in the majority so I don't see her using the idol anytime soon.


Also, Kim's dry erase board was super creative and definitely something I might steal from her in a future game.

Still love Justin, even though he's doomed for a downfall soon. And love Eric/Adam but fear for their safety in the game with the potential female alliiance looming large.

So, I just have to start with saying Kim is my favorite in the game at the current moment. I love how Kim is always drinking coffee. When she shoots a confessional without her coffee cup I feel lost. I'm pretty sure were coffee twins at heart. I just think she playing this game so great! People know that she's a threat yet over half of the girls are aligned with her. I love the fact she is playing very strategical, but at the same time she's such a social butterfly. Right now, I think her sticking with the girls is a smart move over the guys. We all know the men in this game are a hot mess except Chris. <3 I'm starting to love the bond that Kay & her have formed. I think they could go really far together.

I just want to say this isn't game related, but I think I'd really like to party with Martyna. I mean come on, two bottles of wine & three beers is very impressive. She'd drink me under the table.

Mr. Chris Brown is completely lost without his bromance, Daniel. Its really sad, but I have faith in him. He's going to be just fine. Both Ginny & him are going to work it! I figured this whole getting switched to the girl's tribe was going to work out for him. He's such a good talker & the fact that he's charming has completely worked in his favor. Daniel was smart to send him over to the ladies. I think it was super smart on his part to spill the tea to the ladies as well, so he looks like he will be loyal to them. He already has an alliance going of Kay - Ginny - Tanya, which will help in his favor.

Ginny video of her crying when Daniel left almost made me cry too. It was seriously the saddest thing ever.

I do believe Kay is seriously the most underestimated player in the game. This girl is cracking me up how she's totally using the dumb blonde tactic & its working for her! She is such a little master mind. People don't even understand she's running the show & making it look like a breeze. Kudos on taking out Lilly because I have a feeling you probably would have been right about her hooking back up with Eric/Adam.

Adam, you're Superman pj's are dope!
