Austin hiding the fact that he solved the math and got his vote is good imo, keeps his threat level low. Managing how he is perceived seems to be a big part of his strategy & it's worked well for him so far, he's never been targeted.
Hooray. Fishbach finally gets to be the first one to give his thoughts again. Now he no longer has to copy everyone else’s commentary. I’m so proud of him 🥹
I agree with Stephen. I think this experience is going to make Bruce a better person on the outside. I saw real self reflection and inner conflict happening in that guy. I hope Bruce wins!
One more point! 😄 I do think Emily made the right move and needed to find out how likely it was for Drew and Austin to ever turn on Dee. She got her answer and I believe we would have seen a totally different Emily in this episode had she had her vote.. Next week it’s on! And I could actually see it being one of the Reba Four or Emily. That’s maybe the one thing I agree with Rob on. I guess technically it could be Jake as well..lol Regardless, I think Emily made a good play in this episode and is now gonna have to make a big move, which could get her voted out..😢 She makes it to the end, she’s winning btw!
happens again and again in these shows (survivor, big brother) more twists and more uncertainty results in safer play just let them do the players do what they're going to do.
it didnt matter, the math doesnt math with the numbers (emily would still have her vote), plus austins idols and they would have to do math challenge (they couldve got their votes back).
I want to say yes too because a Reba needs to go. However Bello is in shambles so idk if they can get together and actually go against Reba. Idk if I would have trusted that if I were Jake when all the votes against him last week came from Bello.
I’m with Fishbach. I think Emily targeting Dee now makes sense as she now has information that she isn’t in between two duos, but rather the bottom of a five. If she was always going to be the bottom of a five then going to five with Reba is the worst move she could make. Now she knows she needs a backup plan to open the game up. At best, I could see a middle ground between Rob and Fishbach if you try to push for Dee at 8 or 7, but if you’re met with the same pushback then you might have fewer chances to get out of it and still be in a bad spot if you make it to 5. I think it’s better that Emily is armed with the information now that she is on the bottom of Reba. I know the second mouse gets the cheese, but the early bird gets the worm.
Yes, Dee needs to go. It is frustrating that Julie is not listening to other people and is fixated on getting Jake out. She isn’t able to see that Jake doesn’t have the votes to take her out. I hope she eventually gets more annoyed that Dee is not listening to her ideas….and flips on the 4 Reba alliance. Bruce, Katurah, Jake and Emily need to do a four -four tie and risk for rocks to have a chance to get one of the Reba 4….or use Bruce’s idol to blindside to take out one of them specifically Austin to flush the idols to put them back in play….
@@annamarie2849 I say the plan to take out a Reba is optimal if Bruce doesn’t have immunity. That way you can do a 3-3-2 split vote on Bruce and Jake. If Emily is a part of the Jake part of the plan then she can take her 1 vote from Jake’s 3 and connect it with Bruce and Jake’s 2 votes. Then play the idol for Bruce canceling out the 3 Bruce votes. This leaves only 2 Jake votes against Bruce, Jake, and Emily’s 3 votes on whichever Reba is the target. This would probably be best case scenario because Bruce not having immunity and playing his idol for himself wouldn’t set off any alarm bells. This is critical because Austin probably won’t play either of his idols in response to Bruce playing his idol. If Bruce is immune and plays it for Jake then Austin is definitely playing at least one of his idols, but probably both of them to maximize the chances that all Reba survive. He would probably play one of them for Dee in that scenario, so targeting Dee is a risk. So at that point Julie would probably be the safest vote. Don’t see Austin picking to play an idol for Julie against himself, Dee, and Drew. If Katurah is with Belo + Emily then even better. That makes the plan even easier with 4 votes to weaponize against a fractured Reba vote. With this scenario it could even work better if 3 Rebas are on one side of the split vote while 1 Reba + 2 non-Rebas are on the other side of the vote. This way you could play the idol on the one who got 3 votes (let’s say Jake for the sake of argument) and the other side of the vote only has 1 vote. This opens up the possibility that Bruce plays the idol for Jake, canceling out 3 votes and leaving only 1 Bruce vote. This means Bruce, Emily, Jake, and Katurah could potentially split their votes 2-2 and increase their chances of taking out a Reba provided Austin doesn’t play two idols on the two correct options. This is why Julie should really be one of the options as she is the unlikeliest person to get an idol played on her. This could even cause fractures amongst the Reba alliance moving forward. Would be really great if this scenario could happen.
@@Renwick_DavisI agree that would be a really cool and fun TV but I think there's a much simpler way that Reba can ensure victory. If the 4 just decide to vote out Emily then no one would see it coming. Bruce would waste his idol and they would still have the numbers. 100% pros 0% cons
@@jkgaming3856 That makes no sense from Emily, Bruce, and Jake’s perspective, which is the one I was strategizing for 😂 Plus I think it’s unlikely Austin and Drew sign off on a Emily vote with Bruce and Jake still in the game.
You know, I don’t remember Emily being as blunt as Rob made it sound.. Right? I could be wrong.. But she didn’t just walk up to them and say “I want to vote out Dee, what do you guys think?” 😅 Didn’t she make it sound like other people were talking about voting her out and how she didn’t think any of them beat Dee at the end. Isn’t that how she broached that convo..? I feel like Rob may need to rewatch that scene because from what I remember, she didn’t do as bad as he made it sound. Then again, maybe I’m the one misremembering it and I’m the one that needs to rewatch it! 😂 I guess at the end of the day, maybe we should both double check. Lol
Jeff would read out the same number of votes whether or not Austin voted. With both 6 and 7 you need 4 to be a majority. If he only read 3 for Kendra with 6 it could still be a 3-3 split. So either way Jeff would read 5 votes (1 Jake, 4 Kendra), and it doesn’t give away that Austin lied.
Jake and Kendra should have worked together with Bruce and maybe Julie to get Austin out in a blindside..would have been the only time and Julie could have told Dee she had no choice because he was gunning for her even if he wasnt.. austin is too powerful and the blindside would have had to have happened then :(
I think Dee is gonna get cut if she doesn’t move first against the Drew/Austin/Emily trio. Emily has her dead to rights and other people have been dropping her name as well so I think it’s time to cut one of her own to lower her threat level. I’m not sure how she’d go about it though, the Belo’s are seemingly uncapable of working together and Julie probably won’t flip with her, she seems to not want to make bold moves. I also don’t think she has the bonds with the Belo’s to pull it off, but if she can portray it as her throwing them a bone or rat out Austin’s 50 advantages, then maybe there’s a path there.
Maybe I’m wrong, but Emily didn’t come right out and say, “I want to vote off Dee.” Didn’t she imply others were saying it and wanted to see where Drew and Austin’s heads were at with all of it..? I think she actually did a pretty good job with how she brought it up. Maybe rewatch the episode Rob and let me know if I’m wrong. I’m curious now.
Next week's preview is exciting. I need a Reba member out next week. Preferably Drew or Dee. The fact that the show is hyping it means it may actually happen right??? 😲
I may have missed this but did Jeff only read 5 votes? I feel like he said recently he doesn’t read all the remaining votes if they are all for the same person and the majority is already reached. However isn’t this bad, especially in this new era where people constantly lose votes. It would have been valuable to know there was 7 votes to know one of the three that claimed to lose their vote was lying. Kinda new to survivor so still learning things
Well he read 4 votes for Kendra and declared that the majority so the cast knows there’s between 6-7 votes cast But yeah the reading is screwing some players over, Emily found out Sabiyah has an idol after Probst only read 2 Brandon votes so it does have an affect on the game
Doesnt really matter what Bruce's family says. He said he treated Kellie how he would his daughter... Kellie isnt your daughter man. Thats the problem, what the hell guys
@@omarholder9036I don’t think that’s true. I think he’ll try to be less condescending and controlling now. He just hasn’t had to prove that yet since he’s won immunities so far
@@tmm4195 dude, his allies are walking out the door and twice he knew it was a dog pile and not once has he made any effort to save them. Belo is willingly voting themselves out. This is the second straight tribal council where every vote was cast on a Belo player. They are giving up power without a fight. Only thing that can save them now Is Emily making a move
@@omarholder9036 I mean Bruce was literally the one preaching to keep Belo strong at the merge. Also, he wasn’t aware that Belo members like Kellie and Kendra were turning on Belo until the tribal council where Kellie was voted off. Now he is powerless so he can’t do anything. Kendra was going home regardless of how hard Bruce tried to fight it. He literally has no power
Should Julie have pushed for Jake harder? I feel like she needs to have a tribal where she can say she lead the vote. And if she truly does want Dee aside her at final tribal, she can’t just let Dee take full charge on votes like these
Yeah they only read 5 votes. So they have no way of knowing that Austin lied unless his handwriting is distinct and one of his was shown. The most they know is that there were at LEAST 6 votes present but not 8 since 8 would have required going to a 5th Kendra vote. So the only possibilities are they were 6 votes and 4 was majority or there were 7 and one person lied, but you will never know. The only way to know is if Belo grew a spine and voted together as a block and force the 7th vote to be revealed
Crazy conspiracy: If you look at the NWOS preview you see Jake picking a fight with Drew. As he is walking away he gives a knowing look that makes it look like the fight with Drew was on purpose (using his acting yet again). If they are going to break up the Reba 4 they need to play Bruce's Idol, to do that as Emily says they "cannot miss" and need to know where the Reba votes are going. Jake could be making himself bait for an Idol play...
people looking for a reason to hate Dee because she is a woman who is not behaving "like a woman should" -- she is taking some control and has some agency in the game. not only that but the fact she is Latina and she is not just filler cast and stereotypical Latina. She sat out in the immunity challenge to save the rice, but heaven forbid she let Drew take some extra rice and laugh a little about it (clearly there was no malice behind it). She's getting way more hate than Drew and a different kind of hate than Bruce did. It's misogynistic. Austin can take out Kellie over a sandwich but Dee can't stand her ground to take out Kendra who as Julie stated was "going after Dee Hard?" and Austin can hand over his idol to Julie but Dee is ruining and controlling Austin's game and she hasn't even done anything against him yet? GET A GRIP.
I choose to believe Stephen starts each KIA episode with that much energy and enthusiasm, only for the intro music to swell and drown him out until we get the apathetic Fishbach we all know and love.
Sorry but Jake doesn’t deserve to win over Catoura if we are ranking the “anybody but me”. At least she has strategy and has been on right side of some votes, Jake seems lost AF!
i had really high hopes fo dee. that she would recognize this ocassion to be perfect for a emily blindside. you go to kendra, bruce and jake and say what about one more day for all ? vote emily. 4-3 emily , which is now dee biggest competition and then you ask forgivness instead of permission with the other 3.
Why is that dumb? I think an all male alliance or female alliance sucks personally. I think a woman is winning regardless this season (Emily or Dee are probably winning, I think Austin loses in fire making somehow)
Austin hiding the fact that he solved the math and got his vote is good imo, keeps his threat level low. Managing how he is perceived seems to be a big part of his strategy & it's worked well for him so far, he's never been targeted.
I hope he doesn't manage it too well, to the point where the jury thinks he never made any moves
wasn’t smart to keep it from emily though
@@tmm4195 wld she find out? Jeff only read 4 votes for Kendra, Jake cld have been the 4th vote
If he reveals the library of advantages at the FTC he will win the jury over no matter what i think. Kind of a Maryanne Supreme™ @@crazyinsanepenguin
@@mc-vh9xr Probably not so that helps him. She is already tempted to turn on Reba though and that would really push her over the edge

Should Jake have thrown the challenge so that the two Rebas might have lost their vote???
