P bear never stops delivering.

I'm at the point, enough pre-challenge bs, bring on the losers, I wanna see TC

X I'm impatient too lol.

[Caryn]

God I really hope Rai doesn't vote off BB first. His PMs are fucking hilarious.

[Caryn]

And in the same breath, I don't want to Zane to go because he got so screwed here. If he wasn't on a tribe filled with 6 extremely smart and very social players, he would go so much further than what he's destined to get. I'm praying for an early swap here or something that will save him.

What exactly did Stacey say/do? Did she just out-and-out expose her identity or was it hinted at? Talk about random.

I mean... she said who she played in another game, but... She didn't really understand the rules I don't think, she's like... REALLY new. I gave her the first and last warning and made her reread the rules. There are no second warnings, just ask Katie

[Caryn]

It looks like either BB/Zane/Debb is leaving first tonight and I don't want either of them to leave.

Mainly though, I don't want Zane to leave because like I said, he got SO fucking screwed.

I honestly don't even fucking understand why Probst would put the 6 biggest social talkers & one trainwreck/retard guy on a single tribe. You're just ASKING for the trainwreck guy to be booted and that takes away a lot of entertainment. Point blank, if he leaves early because of Probst's shitty tribe decisions, he deserves a second chance. Fucking pisses me off, I swear.

Like I told you on AIM, I really think that her being new isn't an excuse. She obviously didn't read the rules. Don't get me wrong, a formal warning was definitely the right call regardless if she read the rules or not. But I just don't like that 'she's new' is something she can hide behind. You have rules up there, which she didn't read and/or sign, for a reason.

This isn't a knock at you, it's a knock at her just too lazy to read the rules.

No, you're right. At the same time though, we normally give a formal warning, unless the damage is done and the intent to cheat is clear. This was negligence pure and simple. May not be any more fair, but its still the first offense of a first timer. I gave Katie a first strike last season and didn't give her a second. If there's another incident, I will not hesitate to remove her.

[Jeff Probst]

Excited for tonight's events. I'd love to see what happens when the sacrificed players get to talk to the other ambassadors. I could see them talking them into taking them for the next ritual.

I don't understand Lisa's hate boner for Papa Bear right now.

Why try to make him a target on his own tribe when he wants to work with you? That's just stupid, and on top of that, Papa Bear can easily turn that shit around on Lisa and turn his WHOLE tribe against her. I really don't understand why she wants these returnees out so bad. The reason they're back here in the first place is cause they sucked the first time they played and they're getting a second chance.

Knowing Lisa, I'm shocked she would do something so fucking stupid that could potentially make her an easy target. Worry about your OWN tribe.

[Yul Kwon]

I think the whole 'returnees need to go thing' is so silly in online gaming, when we're ALL returnees in some capacity. Just because we're new to the series doesn't mean we're new to online gaming.

Anyway, I'm excited to watch the events!

[Caryn]

And I don't understand why Madhesi wants to boot Debb first when Tina hasn't logged in since Friday.

Like, at least Debb is showing up tomorrow (she said she has a busy weekend), yet Tina has been gone for a whole 2 days and didn't even leave a warning.

[Courtney]

Nice to see my pick Stacey active in this challenge

[Caryn]

Rai is so fucked.

[Courtney]

Rai is so fucked.

Can't wait for doom and gloom to set in

[Caryn]

Now Papa Bear made an alliance with Carter

[Courtney]

Stacey made a public thread, basically for the expressed reason, "I did good, right?"

hahaha
