 fundamentally disagree. I think in the game of Survivor, you want to be allied with everyone on your tribe. You want to be allied with as many people as you possibly can. And I think as long as Carly is able to kind of juggle this spot of working with everyone and making sure that she's in a position to where it wouldn't be her going home, which I think she can accomplish working with everyone. I don't know. I disagree. I'll throw my two cents in there and I will say that I disagree.

 little bit of analysis right now. The advantages collected recently are definitely going to have a big impact on the game because ultimately, as you gain a big advantage in the game, you have more power in the game. The golden axe, I had thought of making almost like an offensive tool. Like an idol is very defensive. It will keep you safe no matter what. But with the golden axe, I feel like it's a lot easier to take a shot I feel like a better player can better utilize a golden axe than they would be able to an idol, right? What do I mean by any of this? Well, EMP found the idol today, and AK, I guess, had started the hunt for EMP. AK is very good at, you know, org idol hunts. They're very quick to kind of see that something is up. And I guess, you know, AK and EMP have felt very, what is it, on the bottom. They've been kind of together since the Apple Tribe days. We saw the players who voted out Chris O Most of them were from the Apple tribe and very close to each other In fact yeah the trio of them had actually just scooped up Carly and voted him off, right? I mean, they're kind of like a trio from Apple and Emp and AK were kind of like a duo from Apple. And so them finding the idol together will keep one of them safe for a time where, you know, someone will take a shot at either one of them and i have a feeling it will be used successfully in season three of theo viver uh ak found two hidden immunity idols played them both successfully back to back uh the start of the merge and in season four of theo viver emp had uh not an advantage of his own, but he had basically bluffed to Sasha that, hey, I have two idols. I'm going to wreak havoc on the game. And so Sasha decided to play a safety without power offensively on EMP. That was EMP's plan and it somehow worked out. So these two players together, I think with the idol in their pocket is very powerful, very electric. That will change the game.

, Tully and Ricky getting together with the Golden Tools, that's another thing, right? Tully and Ricky, I guess, sort of have this, like, fraternity pact from Season 1. What it looks to be is that Ricky, since the very start of the game, had been wanting to partner up with Tully, get together and run things. I guess just kind of make things right from season one, whatever it may be, you know, and we saw Ricky implement the strategy last season, where just very straight up went to Bethany and said, Hey, you want to ride it out? You want to be ride or dies? And it worked until it did. It got Ricky to the merge, helped him navigate some really difficult pre-merge tribal councils. But ultimately when the merge came to be, Ricky was, you know, the first one sniped, He had overplayed, Jack had overplayed. I think Ricky is in a better spot right now to where the golden shovel right that negates six votes off of you That basically also an idol but it not the guarantee It not the guarantee And the golden slingshot can take down the golden shovel. No advantage in the game can stop a hidden immunity idol. Under my rule set, when you find an idol, you know, that's yours. You can play it on yourself, guaranteed. The golden shovel, that's another story. That can be intercepted or stopped from slingshots that are another advantage available in the shop. That's why it's not as powerful as it is a normal idol. But they still do have the Golden Axe. So they're kind of stacked. That duo is stacked. There's another duo that is stacked. There's the trio of Riley, Ale, and Cassandra Fish. and then there's also the trio of carly garrett and francesca uh but carly is now sort of like being roped in with like the the original apple three and right now they make up the majority on whichever tribe went to tribal last i can't remember um

 I have a feeling that at an eventual swap, those groups could kind of come together as one. Carly has been a very, this is her first ever game, but she's been surprisingly like a standout player. Like she's in a fine spot, right? She's making allies and the connections she has to make. And people think that she's like the easy out. Like they keep trying to fire shots of her. I mean, she survived a close-ass tribal at pre-swap and another close-ass tribal at the swap. It's very impressive. Excuse me. Excuse me. It's very impressive gameplay on Carly's part. I did not expect this. Carly is Void's girlfriend for context. Void is on our hosting team. Void played season one. It was incredible. And we all know Void was a pretty good player, right? now Carly's showing up and she's following in Void's footsteps is what I'm trying to say both very impactful players clearly in their own individual rights I mean Void was kind of like you know like surprise idol getcha right there Carly's kind of more like you know scrappy and able to survive the close votes still very impressive nonetheless Bye.

 dallas and missouri are uh kind of a thing right now as well they had a trio with chris o and they were also working with cheerio cheerio got 15 when chris o got 14th wow the chos were uh with the chos with ours damn went out back to back that's unfortunate and also it's very silly um I could see Dallas and Missouri kind of getting in with like the if it were to become a sides thing with the way the dynamics are right now I could see them kind of getting together with like the AK-Emp duo and slash or the Tully-Ricky duo we don't know how it'll play out I have been kind of hoping for like a returnees, all returnees alliance between Tully, AK, and Ricky, because spoiler alert, I love all of them. And also I've casted returnees in so many Fio Viper seasons. And I've always just kind of one day hoped like, oh, you know, the captains will get together and run the game. And nope, it has never once happened. So this is three years and a whole prequel series in the making. This moment right here. Stay tuned, folks. We're in for a good show Oh my god And I haven't even talked about snubs yet

 is so funny to me because literally no one trusts snubs ever snubs is just snubs he is his own creature he's fucking hilarious and i love him i had played like a shitter starvivor season with snubs like i was like fully trolling and just being a fucking asshole and wreaking havoc right and snubs had been on that season and i had always been saying like oh my gosh like i want to work with snubs. And this motherfucker gave me a fake idol and voted me out at the same tribal council. Who the fuck does that? Only snubs. He's so funny. If snubs gets pre-jury, I'm killing myself. But no one trusts snubs right now and I'm worried that if he attends tribal council, he will be an easy boot.
