Apparently Paul wants to split the vote 1-1 and have Josh break the tie so Paul can avoid getting blood on his hands? If so Josh should definitely evict Kevin. He's probably going home if he loses final 4 veto regardless and Alex has a chance at beating Paul for final 4 HoH. It sounds counterintuitive but it opens up an additional opportunity to take out Paul.

Because Alex could also win Veto and ensure Josh is the only vote. If Paul goes through with this plan and Josh betrays him, I will LOVE it, even if it costs us Kevin. I have been eagerly awaiting someone to display the testicular fortitude necessary to challenge Big Paul. Josh is the only hope at this point. The others all SUCK.
---

Honestly, I want Kevin to go for several reasons. One, he's never going to win a comp, and even if he does, he's not going to take a shot at Paul because somehow, Paul is the LEAST shitty to him of the remaining players. Two, Kevin is likely to be used as a pawn to take out Alex and Josh, the only two people who can still prevent a Paul win. Three, despite all of this, Kevin is still being shunned and treated like shit, and I kinda want him evicted just so he can go to jury when the atmosphere isn't so fucking toxic.
---

Alex should already know that Paul isn't her ally anymore since he didn't use the PoV to save her and force Josh to put up Christmas. I don't understand why Paul thinks that making the vote 1-1 is going to make him look better.
---

Alex: I should've listened to Jason. Jason was right.

omg hearing those words coming out of Alex's mouth is so wonderful, especially when it's too late for her to do anything about it.

in case alex being a complete idiot wasn't obvious yet, she actually thought paul wanted to take her so he could get second place. she was 100% convinced this was the case. and she will actively campaign for him at the jury house because, despite everything, she's still THAT brainwashed I suppose? lol

I'm speechless.

I mean, the other options for potential winner aren't exactly amazing.
---

I would like a Kevin win just because he's a good dude. I wouldn't mind Josh win it would be very Steve Moses. But Paul is obviously the deserving winner of the season.

I'm praying that Alex is just telling Paul what he wants to hear but that will not be the case.
---

I want ... Megan... to win because lol
---

Even if he's not an asshole like everyone else I would still be unhappy with a Kevin win. A nice guy, but he did literally nothing all season. Well, he's played a good $50k game I guess.
---

Alex is an idiot and one of my least favorite players ever. Probably bottom 10. Likely. I can't stand her stupid face.
---

There are lots of people on this planet, and one of the worst mixes is being confident and stupid at the same time.

Watching Alex throw shade all season at those following Paul has been outright embarrassing. Her attacks on Jessica & Cody, particularly Cody's military career, were shameful and puny. She shut down any decent moves by her partner Jason, lapped up all the bull Paul gave her, and somehow still has the audacity to condemn others in a scornful light.

Her utter inability to have even a shred of self-awareness is one of the most embarrassing sights I've come across in my Survivor/BB/TAR viewing experience. I dislike her both as a player and a person AND unlike many past detestable houseguests (pre-BB12) I've had the live feeds each week to watch it all firsthand.

Alex is pathetic. She's just pathetic. She has nobody to blame but herself, but even then she won't get the message.
---

Also I had no idea but apparently Nicole and Victor are a couple.
---

I actively hate Christmas more because she's just an Alex who isn't going to get her comeuppance.

Actually, I think Christmas actually knows she doesn't deserve to be where she is in the game, and would probably even tell the Jury to give Paul the 500k if she was final 2 with him.

That's even worse >_<
---

Yeah Christmas has stated that the reason she played her game this way was because she felt that her injury forced it that the only way to the Final 2 was with Paul and Christmas

My issue with her is that she is being an Alex because she feels she has to be because she won't get to the end because of her injury otherwise, but I honestly don't know if that makes me dislike her more or less. I feel like she has a leg up on Alex due to association with Josh because I'm rooting for Josh now, in spite of her cockblocking him in regard to Paul.

(Pun was intended)

AU Survivor episode 14

XD WTF seriously? All that Luke vs. Sarah build up. All that shit show scrambling and lying and then it all coming out at tribal WITH SAMATAU THERE FUCKING WATCHING IT ALL and it's a non-vote mutiny offer episode? That was fucking insane and I did not see it coming at all. For a second, I thought the host was just going to call merge when he said "this is when we'd normally vote" or whatever. It was definitely an entertaining twist. I don't know if I will like it until after watching the next episode.

I remember hearing Paul say he wasn't close with anyone from BB18, and when asked about Victor, he said that Nicole makes it awkward.
---

I'm mostly interested in how they will feel when they get out of the house and see how people feel about them

(what happened when Survivor 22-24 people saw how their season went?)

Yeah, watched that as well. I'm glad they banded together and voted Odette out. She was boring. I've learned to expect the "I'm the swing vote and I have all the power lol" person to go home, so that was fun.

Survivor 35 talk. I cannot stand this bellhop kid. He annoys the hell out of me and he feels like his Survivor shit don't stink.

I'm not glad with that at all. I mean, it was probably a good move for Sarah and Tara (who I STILL can't stand and probably never will be able to stand), but it was a pretty bad move for Luke and Jericho. Odette would have been completely loyal to them, and Sarah is only going to use her connections for Sarah and Sarah alone, not for Asaga. I also lost a decent amount of respect for Sarah for going and trying to shit on Odette's strategy, when her strategy was perfectly fine and completely viable (and in most cases smart) of a thing to do after seeing that all of the people making moves were getting targeted and/or taken out.

Australian Survivor Episodes 14 & 15
I kind of liked the mutiny twist, but it would have been better had it been "Anybody who wants to mutiny, stand up." Then Samatau would vote on the one person they wanted to steal. Would have still been Pete, but it would have been better TV. While this was better than last year's atrocity of "Brooke, please kidnap one member of Vavau." it was still kind of a buzzkill after all that buildup.

That said, unlike last time, this pushed an interesting storyline into Monday's episode, with the reconciliation between Sarah and Luke. As those two are among my favorites, I was very happy. Odette's edit screamed the position she ultimately ended up in, even before her overplaying the swing vote position; she was clearly the final pre-juror / pre-merge boot due to her lack of content and portrayal in what she had. The merge boot is likely the final pre-juror and I cannot discern who that is as of this time. I hope it's Tara. Moron doesn't know what a blindside is, but at least she's humble enough to admit she's not too bright. Her doing that was the first moment where she endeared herself, but I still don't like how petty she is.

If I have to guess, I would think the alliances become:
Locklan, Anneliese, Henry, Michelle, Sarah, Tara
vs.
Luke, Jericho, Ziggy, Jarrad, Tessa, Pete

Luke, Jericho, and Pete might flip to avoid a tie. I don't see anyone in the former alliance moving at F12. Tara and Anneliese won't work with the foursome that voted them out, nor would Locky by association. Henry and Michelle know they're on the bottom, so they'll make a truce but will try to blindside each other at final 9 or 10. Sarah wants to work with her friends, who are all in that alliance. They will try to flip somebody. Still think Tessa is first juror, but I could be a round off. I wouldn't target her first, because she'd be the presumed "least likely to use Ziggy's idol" person. Ziggy's loose lips have divulged the position of that idol so Henry and Locky can navigate around it. Those two have the knowledge of every idol in the game and ought to presume there aren't more than three (and they should NOT hide a fourth).

Favorites are still Luke, Sarah, Anneliese, Tessa, and Jericho. Henry is a cockier Malcolm, but because of that Malcolm comparison I am starting to like him quite a bit more. Still, his ego is less disguised than Malcolm's (Malcolm is great at laughing it off), which is his weakness. This is why he lost Jacqui. I still see him as a winner contender. It's most likely Henry, Sarah, Jericho, or Anneliese. The least likely are Pete, Tessa, Tara, and Jarrad, all due to their limited presence in the edit (except Tara, who is the least likable). Still could be a surprising emergence like last year. I'm excited to watch.

OMG JOSH FACE XD omg

I just watched it last night and this was wonderful.

They only do 16 comics each season, so the quitter did not get one.

Some of them this year are pretty scathing. Paul and Christmas both got the nasties, so they're naturally not very happy about that. They thought they were the heroes, now they're confused.

bb19 final 4 could be interesting depending on who wins HoH tonight
---

It's already been leaked if you wanted to look.

New HoH: https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/225-television-broadcast-tv/75683594/886502202
---

oh, it's already happened?

huh
---

Yeah, it was filmed yesterday.
---

Wait, so is 5th place already evicted? How much will be aired tonight?
---

Tonight is a veto and eviction and probably HoH, and tomorrow is noms, veto, and another eviction. Then if it's the same as past years, Sunday will be a clip show that leads into part 1 of the final HoH, with finale night on next Wednesday.
---

I heard the Sunday clip show is actually on Friday, unless I'm mistaken.
---

Oh, yeah. That's what TV Guide has listed. Nothing on Sunday then.
---

so alex didnt win veto
