Whoever wins, I'll as them if they want the $50 or the Dee message. Her cameo isn't too expensive, but I don't really want to pay for both.

Just like this season, I believe you deserve the right to throw a twist in this game.
Unfortunately it seems I will not benefit w/my strategy of earning negative weekly points...

That will come with my Billie Eillish Boomerang Bonus of 50 points to the person who updates the standings every week.

Acktually...

you have to give those points away and if that person doesn't win then you get the points back. And you are contractually obligated to always call them the Billie Eillish Boomerang points or you may be sued for any and all current and future fantasy points per the indigenous peoples land bylaw - subsection 8 (obviously).

Unfortunately, your post just triggered the ReRun From What's Happening Point Vacuum Twist, and now you have -80 points.

He also generally just looks confused. Anytime he's talking strategy he's got that 10,000 yard stare going on

EDIT: I made a scoring mistake on Joe's score. It has been corrected.



Before I get into it all the scoring, here's the scoop on the finale as it pertains to the contest.

Either agsquirrel97 or Eso si is going to win $2 million $50.

Agsquirrel has 136 points and has OG picks Joe, Aubry, and Jonathan left, and picked Rizo at the merge.

Eso si has 134.5 points OG Jonathan and Aubry left, and Joe on the merge.


Now normally, this would mean that Agsquirrel has it in the bag - he's got 4 players left and Agsquirrel only has 3.

But it's really all going to come down to Rizo's fate.

if Rizo doesn't win FInal 5 immunity and presumably plays his idol, he'll lose 3 points for it not affecting the vote and only get 1 point back for surviving tribal. Obviously if he somehow got sent home with the idol in his pocket, that would lose him even more.

Even if he survives, he's still got a couple of land mine opportunities. One would be putting himself in the fire-making competition and losing (-5). Another would be getting 0 votes at final tribal, although that certainly seems more like Joe's destiny.

But even a Rizo flame out doesn't guarantee the victory for Eso Si, because he and Mozart have the same 3 left, but Mozart has original Joe, and Eso Si has him after the merge. That means the further Joe goes, the more 0.5 point bonuses he gets that Eso Si does not get. So if Joe

Or if Rizo puts himself in the fire-making competition and loses - which sounds like the worst idea ever, or if he makes the final and gets 0 votes, it's going to cost agsquirrel.

On the flip side, agsquirrel gets a extra 0.5 points more than Eso Si for everything Joe does down the stretch.

Sadly, my boy Mozart has 3 OGs left - Joe, Jonathan, and Aubry and is at 132 points, but he can't catch Eso Si. Even if Joe won immunities at 5 and 4, put himself in fire and won, and finished top 4, Mozart would only make up 2 points on Eso Si.

EDIT: I made a mistake on Joe's score that has been corrected. If he's one of your original picks, he has received an extra half point.

You and me both pal. we have the same 3 left. As soon as I did your score, I realized I couldn't win. Then when I got to the other 2 knuckleheads, I realized you couldn't win.

Most deserving winner at this point. He has aligned himself extremely well throughout the game, and then has cut his closest allies at the right moments. Also, the only reason Aubry is still in the game is because of Rizo. The men were ready to flip onto her last night, and he put them back on his own ally because it benefitted him most. Aubry thinks she made that move when it was 100% Rizo.

From last season through most of this one, I couldn't stand Rizo and his cocky Rizgod schtick, but he has really grown on me the past few weeks. The kid loves the game, and he is in the top tier of game strategists. He has been good at relationship building, being in the right alliances, positioning himself to not be the target, and taking the right people out at the right time. Maybe the fact that nobody had ever seen him play and underestimated him has something to do with it, but it's hard to deny he has played an almost flawless game.

He has positioned himself to be in the top 4 with a better shot than anyone to be in the final. I'm pretty sure he will have the jury votes to win over anyone else left in the game should he get to the final three. Just giving credit where credit is due.
CharleyKerfeld

Rizo definitely owned last night, but Aubry was a dead duck the episode before that before she turned the vote on Ozzy. That was all her.

If the others know that Rizo lost the fire-making challenge, I can see why they haven't come after him. He is 0-fer on immunity challenges this year, and I presume the likes of Joe & Jonathan don't think any of the old school players will vote for him, although I would love to see his argument at final tribal, which we were really robbed of in Season 49.

The nightmare final 3 is Jonathan, Joe, and Tiff. Two dummies that can't spell inconceivable and the person the show forgot about until Episode 8.


By the way, let's talk about that bizarre situation at the 2nd immunity challenge when Aubry and Rizo fall into this bizarre mass hysteria behavior of helping Joe and Jonathan try to do the bridge puzzle. Nothing about either of J&J suggest they are more adept at building a small puzzle than anyone else, yet somehow 2 of the smartest players completely abandoned their own attempts to win the most important challenge in the game to date in order to help a couple of neanderthals.

Top underrated moment of the season: Joe staring at the FOURTEEN letter blocks for the arch puzzle and saying to Jonathan, "Is it TRIBAL?"
Eso si, Que es

Do not like Rizo's personality, but dang he is a very good survivor strategist.

Congrats AgSquirrel, looks like you got this wrapped up. I'll take first loser.

Yeah that was bizarre. All I could figure was that they all knew they were going after Tiff, so as long as one of them won, it wasn't going to matter.

It was strange though...especially in a season where there have been so many twists and turns.

Devens tells EW he thought about faking a Beware Advantage on the last day, but Jonathan wouldn't leave him alone.

I almost faked a Beware Advantage on my last day. I stole the red paint out of camp, I'm gonna get a coconut, I'm gonna cover myself with a red like Sue did and act like I have this advantage. But Jonathan just wouldn't let me get away that long, to his credit. And also, I just realized: You know what? This has such a small chance of working. I think my Shot in the Dark would probably work better than this at this point. But I kinda wish I'd done it because it would've been fun.

What a fun season and episode! Definitely looking forward to the finale and echo what was said above, really happy with anyone but Joe winning...

I was shocked that Aubry and Rizo did not attempt to start their puzzle for so long... so strange! Jonathan and Joe were so dumb in trying to figure it out.

I did not like Rizo at all during Season 49 but sometime after the merge my wife and I have started to respect his gameplay. He makes it far every season and makes his one HII last so damn long... but he is absolutely no threat to win Individual Immunity

I really think we are getting an Aubry winners edit. I feel like she takes Joe with her and sends Jonathan and Rizo to fire.

How awful would it be for Joe to go to final 3 in both his seasons and get 0 votes both times
