Bro is clearly the best, but this isn't as awful a Final 5 as it seems.

I mean Sarah has become a UTRHBIC recently.
Victor is all sorts of awesome, and even if it seems like he's bumblefucking his way through the game, you KNOW that this has been Gnarls's plan the whole time.
May isn't the most aware person in the world, but I think she's played a decent game so far.
Ed is :ed

oh don't get me wrong, I love this F5 and they're all amazing in their own way, except maybe Ed.

I am just really good friends with Double D outside this game and really wanted to see him win. That's all.

Ok, so that could not have gone any better....

- DD loses the challenge. Check.
- Cobblers/Victor trust me implicitly. Check.
- Tell May that there's wind of a possible tied voted, convincing her now is the time to take out DD. Check.
- Now have Victor as my closest ally, the Cobblers in my debt and still outnumbered, and May trusting me as I came to her with the DD news. Check.

This could not be going any better for me. I have now a jury of Eddy, Marie, Kevin and DD.

My biggest challenge threat is gone.

I take out the Cobblers next, I keep numbers.

At final 3, I have both May and Victor wanting me as their F2 (they could very well see the light and realise each other is their best bet, but that's the risk I take).

Ideally, I would love to see Ed go further, purely on goat factor. But it's very unlikely, now. I'd just burn too many people if I did that.

But now, as it stands, if I make F2, I was the one who made all the moves in this game. I've owned it.

Different style of game for me, if you haven't seen me play before. Glad it's working (so far). 


Double D 2.0 <3

She is in a really good position though. But May kinda already figured out she's running shit.

So the next challenge is everyone picks who gets immunity. Should be very interesting with this 5some. I can see someone neutral like Victor winning it.

But then who goes home? Bro?

Yeah Victor, May, and Sarah are all voting for Bro. They're all really set in their ways. We'll see if Bro can sway anyone with his idol cuz that seems to be his last resort.

Gnarls never ceases to amaze me. Like I said before he really seems like he's just bumblefucking his way through this game. But I was really curious why he wouldn't take out his "Kim" at Final Four and he said the thing about Ed being emotional. And I was like "Wow. He *nailed* Blueberry." cuz that's exactly how Blue plays and he would totally tell Sarah if Victor clued him in on the plan to take Sarah out. Especially with his ass being on the line. Gnarls <3 Such a gamer.

As long as it ain't Ed I'm satisfied with the winner. One of the remaining four (sans Ed) have all been top 3 in my rankings, so that's awesome.

Fun Fact: Out of the F5, only one person has voted with the majority in every vote.


Sarah.

Did Double D take his boot hard or something? I don't think he's been online since he was voted out :(

It's possible. I know that he really wanted to win his first game :( So he could have taken it hard. Give him some time :)

Plus his next game he's hosting just started :o

I didn't know he's never won a game before :o That's kinda shocking. I don't remember if I've ever played with him before but he seemed pretty capable in this game.

I always like people getting their first wins <3 Mine was so invigorating and fun. I know Blue won South Pacific, but he probably won't win this game. I'm positive Gnarls has won before, I'd be shocked if he hasn't.

Fireblazer obviously hasn't won. This is his first time making the merge. This is rcct's first game. And I don't know if Jorel has won any of his Australian ORGs but we'll just say he hasn't.

At this point, I'm really predicting a Victor win for this season though. EVERYONE wants to take him to the end and plus the jury kinda loves him. I would say Sarah has a very decent shot at winning if she can make the Finals with everyone looking at her as the big threat.

May's chances are okay. I think she has a strong chance of making Finals, but she isn't the most eloquent person and I don't think she could make a strong case for herself for the win. Bro's pretty much done for. Everyone wants him gone this round and that isn't changing. The only way he wins is if he wins the next THREE immunities which isn't gonna happen cuz the next immunity is the voting one.

And then if Ed wins I'll be pissed, but I HIGHLY doubt that would ever happen. He literally hasn't done a single thing in this game. I was really excited to see Blue play, but his heart just isn't in this game. And it sucks cuz the entire jury wanted to play so bad.

Prediction for the rest of the season:
5. Bro
4. Ed
3. Sarah
2. May
1. Victor

How I want the season to go:
5. Ed
4. May
3. Victor
2. Sarah
1. Bro

Yea it's odd. He's a really good player but for some reason just has never won. Kinda like Eyka I guess. :(

First wins <3 I remember your first win, you were amazing in that game. I was a revolutionary when I won my only win, and it was amazing. :)

Anywhoo, this is how the rest of the season's gonna play out IMO.

5th place: Bro. :( So sad. Bro has been amazing this season. He is so the rootable underdog, and he's really smart it seems too. He was supposed to go at the F9 so it's really impressive that he's lasted this far, especially for his first game. But he won't win tomorrow's challenge and he'll probably go home because of it. Which sucks. I don't think I'll ever do this challenge again because of this. I was hoping that come F5 it'd be more of a every man for himself mentality but with a clear winner this challenge just kinda bums me out. Congrats so much on being a threat this far in the game though.

4th place: Ed. I really want him to get 4th, no offense to him. :lol: But honestly I think he will. Victor wants to take May and Sarah to the F3 because he doesn't want to take out Sarah at the F4. So that means he'll target Ed. Sarah has said she wants a May/Victor/Sarah F3 so that means Ed goes at F4. Only May has hinted at bringing Ed to the F3, but I don't think she'd risk a tie at the F4. Victor is smart and I think that he realizes that if Ed is in the F3 people may take him to the F2 over Ed, and I think Sarah believes that taking Ed to the F3 makes her look even more so like a backstabber. So I don't see either of them flipping. Which means that Ed goes at F4.

3rd place: May. Sarah is the best at challenges IMO and I think she has the best chance of winning the F3 challenge. If she does, she'll incorrectly conclude that May is the bigger threat and then take out May. I don't see Victor leaving at the F3 at all because the people in the game see him as a goat. If May wins then Sarah goes home and I guess that can happen, but given their performances in challenges I don't see that happening.

2nd place: Sarah. She's played an excellent game and I think she has a shot to win given a good FTC, but no one really likes her. And this jury is shaping out to be a bitter one at that. But I can see Bro/May/Ed/Edd voting for her maybe, but at the same time I'm not really sure. I don't think she has any of those 4 on lock and Victor can definitely get at least one of them over because he is a good player.

1st place: Victor. I think he has this in the bag. The jury loves him and everyone wants to take him to the end. He's in the best position in this game and no one knows it. He's played a brilliant UTR game and it has worked out wonderfully for him. Honestly I would not mind at all if he won, I would actually love it. He'd make a great first winner for my series. :)

Alright, just cutting through some confessionals. If you told me in the middle of the pre-merge that the Final 5 would have 0 of Marie, Kevin, or DD, I'd probably have laughed at you, but it all makes sense the way it's gone down that they wouldn't be here.

It's been said enough, but I think Bro is toast tonight. I don't think idol shenanigans have any shot to save him at this point, especially considering what the challenge is. It's a shame. He's been such a fun character too. Speaking of this challenge, they have the 20 minutes - will PMs be on for that or no?

After that, we have the F4 of Ed-Sarah-Victor-May. Victor's probably going to be the mover and shaker in that group to force the vote, I feel. He's just got so many different things going on to consider, that unless by some freak incident tonight and he goes to jury, he should be coasting to the finals. Then again, he's one of the likelier people to get immunity tonight anyway. It won't go to Bro, some of the others seem really unlikely to give it to Ed, and I just don't see Sarah or May getting a majority, at least not on the first vote.

I kind of am hoping that May's pitch to Victor does work and they just "squash the goats". It's a Catch-22 though. You keep them in and you could have an easier opponent in the end, but at the same time, it makes the path to the end that much harder. Eddy summed it up pretty well in the jury though about taking all the threats out and then being like "lolwut?" when you're the biggest threat and people are gunning for you.

I'm also enjoying what Sarah has going on. Really been an interesting person from a game perspective and similar with May, who has been able to keep her hands fairly clean. Ed is an interesting case. I think he's planning on putting too much stock into FTC if he gets there and is underestimating others. Victor though? I remember thinking before BW that I actually only played one game with him and that was the only time I'd seen him actually as a player. He's got a very weird sort of gameplay that is strange, sometimes passive and barely on the radar, but it works. People often find a way to gravitate towards him on a likability level and others tend to ignore that possibility.

I think that if he makes it through tonight, which I think he should, he should be a shoe-in for the finals. As for the win? One of the girls I think could steal it from him. I think some people will be critical about how "visible" their strategy has been, but they do have claims they can make.

PMs will be off for tonight's challenge.

I don't think the jury likes Sarah though, I think they underestimate her completely. Also Victor has fans; he is the only one with a likable thread in the jury lounge, even if it is just one post.

Yeah, I know someone was pretty much taking a crap on the final 5 because the gameplay wasn't really visible as some others. There's cases to be made though. With Kevin's support of Victor, that could catch on like wildfire though, if Kevin's buddy Marie starts to pile on. I remember the first time I was on a jury, we basically turned someone from goat to front-runner without the players even realizing it because he was actually... likable. It was as if the jury was piled up with Galu and he was Brett, at least in terms of how the edit would have been.
