Episode Survivor: Titans vs Rebels - Episode 9

I am team Kirby. I don't fully agree with her reasoning back in the Peta vote when she decided to join the cuddle crew's split on Kelli and Raymond, just so she could have options. As we now know this has led to the distrust Feras had for her and has never ceased. But Feras and Garrick needed to get over it. She was right at tribal, it was her plan and she wasn't voting to keep Peta, she was just voting to keep options open as she knew where the vote was heading anyway. Garrick and Feras are very much looking at the situation as very black and white just because she didn't simply vote for Peta.

Feras was seemingly winning the war against Kirby until tonight. Kirby obviously did better social work with the original titans and it paid off. Aileen is a very logical and pragmatic player, she is much more smarter than a lot of members of this cast. She must have been so frustrated playing with the chaos that exists within this cast.

It is interesting that on both tribes the swapped majority is self imploding within each other, and there is a rivarly between big players on both sides. We have Mark vs Caroline and Kirby vs Feras. I cannot decide if I can see Caroline losing to mark post merge or pre merge. Either way, I think Mark will inevitably get his revenge on Caroline before she does him. Whilst I get the feeling this Feras and Kirby storyline is not near it's end yet, either one could very likely be the merge boot where the story finally culminates. It's very much 50/50 on who will win the war in the end, but at the moment I have my money on Kirby to do away with him first. I felt that Garrick leaving was the obvious outcome since both Kirby's and Feras' storylines have a feeling of longevity to them I feel.

Valeria is still my winner pick. It could also be Mark. But Valeria seems to be better at blending in the shadows in the early stages. She seems to be getting a very similar edit to Hayley and even in some ways Liz from last year.

But I am enjoying the season so far, every episode has resulted in some crazy scrambles and somewhat 'blindsides'. By the way, Australian Survivor needs to stop overusing this word, many times a player has been 'blindsided' when they knew they were in danger. The only thing I dislike about the season is the lacking of a likeable character who really sticks out amongst all the rest as a rootable figure. There is personality like Luke, or George or even Shonee. But it is still two thirds of the show to go, so I cannot come to a complete conclusion just yet.
 
I was convinced Garrick had an idol (that he got when Feras found the chest and opened it; I could have sworn there were two idols, but it must have been just the one that Garrick tried on) so was immensely frustrated when he didn't play it, and went home...

Think Feras was a numbskull to not play his (second) idol on Garrick when everyone who was tuned in told him to, especially as he seems to be good at finding them. I don't even like Feras, but I'm on team Feras as I cannot stand Kirby!

Just a relief to not have another Rebels tribal, really.
 
Last night's tribal council was fascinating, and the best one of this season so far.
I think the real brains of the reconstituted Titans tribe is Alina - Ferras and Kirby could destroy each other, and Alina comes through the middle and is around well after merge.
Ferras of course will now go after the 3 original Titans, in revenge - that revenge thing, it didn't work out so well for Mark earlier in the week.
Speaking of Mark and the new Rebels - while he blew his game up earlier in the week and he's in a very weakened position now, I hope he stays in until merge, he's actually good in those physical things as he proved in the rewards challenge last night.
The real dark horse for me is Charles - he's a lawyer, he's playing a good below the radar game right now.
 
I am hoping Valeria, Charles, and Winna can survive until merge, ditto Mark and Eden, and that they can team up along the way with Aileen, who must be longing for some more intelligent players to work with, and Raymond. I would enjoy Ray and Eden movie-talking, also. That little bit Ray did of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly theme was excellently timed. Have kind of lost hope in a return to form of Mark, after his next day conversation with Carolien was equally undiplomatic and clumsy as his pretribal moves, but it would be great if he still managed to stick around.
 
Channel 9 promo for Sunday night - Mark says "I'm the next one on the chopping block", so no doubt in reality he finds an idol or some new advantage.
 
…evenin’ all… the reason that I didn’t start the thread last night was because just as we were about to watch Survivor we had… **ahem**… “friends” turn up for an unexpected and uninvited visit… in between talking I watched the whole bloody show muted!… I even tried lip reading when not talking to them but that was a complete failure… while watching Kirby talking I tried to lip read what she was saying… I read her as saying “let all of us have a gangbang!”… but as it happened that Garrick went home and the gangbang didn’t happen… she must have said… “let all of us get rid of Garrick!”… just kidding… I did realise that I definitely can’t lipread at all though lol!… I’ll have to watch the show tomorrow because I’ve been flat out busy all day… cheers.
 
Were the barrels in the Immunity Chalkenge all the sane weight? I thought usually they were percentage of body weight.

Another tribal where they target the second in command rather than the leader of the pack.

to be fair, the objective is for the other tribe members to contribute on holding on when one pulls out, so as it isn’t an individual challenge it’s still ok. For individual immunity, sure.

They needed to get the second in command out as they were concerned about Feras playing his idol, if he had gotten a whiff they were voting for hom
he would have played it. And it worked. Feras may have taken a little bit onboard with Elieens advice to play it for Garrick but he was too self centred. It would have been do much more fun if he had just listened to Eileen. Oh my gosh she is smart.

Eileen is another player to look out for.
 
Mr Sticky your story is hilarious!! In my head I imagine you resemble that one couple from Gogglebox and that’s what I see when you tell
me your story lol
