Final round!
Candice vs. Elyse vs. Skupin. Great final three. Would've liked to see Alex or Christa here though!
Who will win? Who will take who? Who would beat who?
Jury seems very anti-skupin, pro-elyse, and indifferent towards Candice. That upsets me quite a bit! Pretty much the opposite of what I would prefer. I think Skupin's played the best overall game personally. Gonna be rough if the jury doesn't see that.
I hope Candice gets some credit too if she makes the finals, but it doesn't seem like the jury is ready to give her any. I think the only way she's making the finals though is to win the final challenge unfortunately.

Most likely. Skupin might take Elyse, given the competition type. Either way I desperately want Candice to come from behind and slaughter the other 2 because shes awesome

Its silly really. She's played a good game but not a mindblowing one. Its been fairly solid, and she's mostly voted in the majority, but she also massively benefited from the auctions going her way (would have been idoled out wihout immunity and getting the jackpot of prizes, the steal money one which is quite clearly too powerful), and simply coasted along on social game and people not catching on that Elyse isn't really a ditzy little girl. And while his confessions are great when he gets to them, he really hasn't done much in terms of actual evil. And now he's massively benefitting from Christa bootlisting and the f4 vote totally going her way. Its not that its not a good game or a win-worthy one, but Elyse is just very good at winning, to the point where there's sort of a formula to it. Its a good formula, it just doesn't make for entertaining wins. She plays about the right level of aggressive/social coasting, wins challenges when votes get difficult, usually removes the smarter players or benefits from their removals by others, goes to FTC as a clear contender with all moves visible and nothing terribly unforgivable, and does just the right amount of defending and apologizing and answering questions, to the point where even if the answers are wrong, they usually blow away the competition she ends with. I haven't really seen her in the end against anyone who could stand their own though. Despite her claims of being a badass and taking badasses and living the badass code, she seems to reach the end with a lot of trainwreck players or weaker ones who probably couldn't adequately defend themselves against the jury. I'll give her props for getting that formula to work for her, but it is pretty tired out, and she would be a lot more rootable if she strayed from it. Took someone to the end because they were good or because she liked them and wanted to stand next to giants at the end. Instead she was always planning the end with John and is now likely going with either Skupin who she views as an idiot or Candice who is a threat and underdog but still would not be facing a jury of friends. And both of them would probably take her. I just wish they wouldn't. I think Elyse is a lock to win if she makes it, while the percieved boss of the game vs the underdog would actually, honestly be amazing. And given that Bella has never won a legitimate game (unless there's been one since Remade I don't know about) and Candice has been such a great confessor and breakout player at the merge, they would be such more likable winners. But it seems unlikely!  |

Agreed with you Brett. I mean, she is a great player, don't get me wrong, but every time I see her play she ends up winning lol. And like you said, its the same thing all the time. It always seems with her that she gets herself in a position where she needs to rely on winning challenges to get her over the hump and to the end. It shows she is very good at challenges, which we all know, but it shows that she needs those challenges in order to survive.

Yeah just because you always win challenges doesn't mean you deserve to win. I think the person who always survives tribals without immunity deserves it more. GO CANDICE!

Yeah, Miki told me that if Elyse didn't get lucky and happen to go for the hidden prize that turned out to be immunity in the auction, she would've voted her out over Brandon. That would've been so great considering the fake idol crap that Elyse was up to. God I wish that happened haha. Luck is enormous sometimes.

I thought Elyse was kinda invisible for half of the game. She's always had this "I think Elyse is the sweetlynicest swell girl ever ever!" Thing happening which is just bizarre since from past experience it hasn't been a hard schtick to spot and get sick of. She's been a little UTR, just not exactly invisible. She had her stuff going on |

Elyse
The sweetest person to ever walk the face of the Earth <3. You have been the most amazing ally I have ever had. I can't wait to play with you again in another game <3
This is absolutely hysterical. I can't wait for Skupin to realize who Elyse is. |
