Episode 14: "The Lioness's Head"

[devon]

Jack's revenge tour comes to an end. Good night, sweet prince.

Post your thoughts on this round below!

Elyse: I'm very worried for her. It sounds like she will be going after Emily this round and Emily will be going after her. I predict Emily winning this battle. Elyse has rose as the #1 threat in the game. With Sam gone and Jenny's idol and allys gone I think that makes Elyse stick out as the front runner and people recognize that. The only people true loyal allies she has are Carley and Nicole. She's a smart girl so maybe she'll get herself out of this one but it's not looking great at the moment. Love her though she's a queen.

Carley: Still love Carley. She reminds me of myself by talking about her underdog game. I laughed when i saw she posted a song called comeback kid bc I used to listen to one during the game but it was a different song. It's tough coming back after being blindsided once let alone multiple times but I think she's found a solid enough place in the game. She has Elyse who is super loyal and who she can always use as a shield, for as long as she's around anyways. She won't want to get to the f2 with her but someone else will probably cut Elyse so she won't need to worry about that. Carley is super smart and logical and I think she'll be in the finals.

Jenny: I know losing her idol and Sam is really bumming her out and I feel bad about that but it def is helping her position. She was seen as too much of a threat with those things still in the game. Even Georgina seems like she'll back off of Jenny for a little bit and at least go after Elyse first. Jenny is super smart and likable, she'll figure something out and find a new person. I see her sticking around for a while. If Elyse wins immunity she could be in danger this round but if not I think she'll be able to find her footing and people will focus on other targets.

Emily: Has been an integral part of every vote since the merge has started. She has essentially controlled the merge. The cost of that? No one trusts her bc she hasn't stuck to one side. The Elyse side who she voted with twice in a row wants her out this round. My guess is that Elyse goes first bc people seem to be more scared of her and I think Emily has better relationships with Georgina and Waylon. However, people recognize how well Emily is playing and how no one can trust her so I don't think she will be around too much longer. I'm really loving her though and the entertainment she's bringing. I hope she is able to keep up the flip-flopping and figure out a path to the end. It just won't be easy.

Georgina: I think she wants to go after Elyse, which is an actual good move. But she still seems to have her eyes set on Jenny. Which still seems silly to me. Esp since Jenny doesn't have an idol. I don't think she has the relationships to make it to the end, espcially since she wants to cut the person she's worked with the longest.

Nicole: Still a nonfactor

Waylon: Not sure what he's doing tbh. Could be around until the end bc people don't seem to respect his game. He's still a fun character but he doesn't post all of his confessionals so we don't really get to see everything he's up to. I think he's still with Emily, if so they are a fun chaotic pair.

Here are my Top 7 most likely to win:

Carley: She is set up well and has maintained enough relationships with everyone to make a move when she needs to while also making sure that there are targets ahead of her on either side. I do worry that if Elyse wins immunity this round that she could receive the votes that are intended for Elyse from Jenny, Georgina, Waylon, and Emily. If Elyse goes here, Carley has some room to maneuver as she is a free agent again.

Jenny: She has taken some hits but has a chance to grab majority again this round. The key here is going to be Emily and she needs to get her on side. Waylon is also a wild card but I believe he will follow Emily wherever she goes next. IF Jenny can survive this next round - especially if Elyse goes - she can hopefully get something together with Carley as they have had similar game trajectories and will need one another.

Elyse: Her target is huge and her tool box is empty. Elyse has done a great job of using the extra votes and idols her allies have accumulated to her advantage, but in doing so she has a target the size of Sam's ego (I miss Sam) on her back. It will be difficult for her to make it to the end of the game but if she does she has the $1000 in the bank and will deserve every penny of it.

Emily: The move maker! Emily has kept this merge entertaining for the viewers and the other players don't even realize it. They know she is a flip flopper but I think more than half of the players have taken credit for moves that Emily is responsible for making happen. She is doing a great job of making people think things are their idea - but because she has flipped a few times, they don't trust her as a number and are aware that they can not count on her for more than one round at a time.

Georgina: Judging from her recent confessionals, she has been a few steps behind. She thinks she and Emily flipped on Sam togehter but Emily was hours ahead of her and the votes were already there. She thinks she was responsible for the Jack/Jenny vote split idea, but that was an obvious move to flush an idol and the Hex girls didn't even split as she wanted them to. I don't think she has any true allies left because she burned them all. Georgina will be a losing finalist at best. I don't see a way she beats anyone but Waylon and I can't see that being a realistic final two.

Nicole: Sadly, Nicole has been spread so thin, we haven't seen much from her as viewers. She has been on the right side of each merge vote besides Silas (where she earned a double vote anyway), played her double vote and idol (unnecessarily but she was gone so you can't expect too much there) to take out a big player, and has stayed a loyal ally without having access to her phone. She will not receive enough jury votes to win again most of the other players but will likely be happy and satisfied to be a losing finalist because SHE DOESN'T NEED $1000.

Waylon: He's crazy and it seems like they all pretty much placate his schemes. I don't know where he stands with anyone, really, and I think he will have a tough time beating any of the 6 ladies in the end. Even Nicole, who has been gone for most of the merge thus far, will have a case to beat him gameplay wise along with having more allies in the jury that respect her as a player and a friend.
