#6281 Hayden definitely hasn't made that "big splash" or jumped off the page, I can't argue with that, but he has subtly done well especially recently. He's absolutely been consistently playing the game, though he's kept it very low-key. Will it stand out in a F3 with two other people? Maybe not, but there's still time and I know he's capable with all this time left. He's been unbelievably safe all game, never over-socializing to where he gets labeled too big a threat. Maybe he under-did it a little bit though as far as winning, and if so then it's on him. We'll find out.

I wouldn't have said Tammy had a signature moment yet either and then last night happened icon_laughing , she's another player who seems to be shielded very well. People think Heidi is the only big threat (both jury and otherwise) and Tammy gets kind of forgotten about... I'd be very surprised if she didn't make F4 and probably F3. I know she hasn't been able to be here much but she's still been great in spite of that... for all the focus on Tammy/Heidi being the last pair, I don't think I ever once heard anyone suggest that Tammy go first. Everyone seemed to think they could still use her after they got split apart.

Penner/Ozzy made the move on Val together with all of us, then Penner formed a 4-person alliance with me, Sugar and Hayden to clip N8 (we kind of kept Ozzy in the dark to try to keep the idol from being used, he voted for Penner that night?), and then obviously yesterday Ozzy was a part of tying the vote with Heidi and Tammy. If they've been working together to pull off these moves, break out the academy awards lol.

I was actually considering going after Penner at 7 or even 6, because I knew he would always put Hayden and Sugar over myself... Heidi does seem to hate him and doesn't want to see him win, so he's got his work cut out for him depending on 2nite. He is a really nice guy. I don't think I have a frontrunner for my vote right now, but I'm hoping Hayden starts to dominate soon.

Penner told me about y'all voting Nate. I told Nate to use his idol on Penner to ensure he wouldn't use it on himself and then voted Penner to make it seem like I was in the dark. GODDAMNIT PENNER.

#6573 ^ That does make sense. I could NEVER trust Penner and wanted to get rid of him so badly, because he lied/hid info from me so many times and was never gonna take me far...

Hayden (from what he told me at least) seemed to trust Penner close to 100%, and I just felt like I was so discardable to Penner especially. I knew you and him had some kind of connection, but I do believe that Penner's ideal F3 was with Sugar and Hayden up until tonight happened. Do you think that was the case or do you think he would've stuck with you throughout?

I think he would've planned on a final four of him, me Sugar and Hayden and then hoped he could beat us all to final immunity knowing I would go with no say in the matter and be booted. Which sucks, but I was planning on bringing him to final 4 and then deciding from there if he could win or not. For whatever reason, I thought y'all HATED Penner in here. I thought so much about bringing him to finals because I figured he wouldn't get votes. Goddamn I was very wrong there.

Just me on Penner. I don't hate him, and on a personal level I think he's great. I just really don't like how he's terminating with extreme prejudice these people with whom he'd formed relation. I still might vote for him, but I don't really want to.

#6578 I like him personally and respect his game a lot (and I definitely think his timezone was a serious detriment to his social game, but he made it work). And I always felt that he had a solid middle-tier reputation, just as he wanted it... he was the person I had in mind when I said what I said at that Tribal. Good player but nobody ever really spoke about him in that light, unlike I guess me you and Heidi who got the deadly "threat" tag attached.

Also I've been meaning to ask ever since round 2 but I decided not to bring it up in the game! So, was I gone over Jess without her loss of interest and then quitting at yellow, LMAO? Probst pretty much said after that "one of you caught a real break tonight" after she left so I always assumed I was 100% gone, that was a big bullet I dodged there!

Mookie and I were 100% voting you if I remember. Jess came to us and nate and said she was quitting at tribal so we immediately covered and pulled the whole "we flipped! We did it!" But I don't know what nate would've done. I was wishy washy between you and Jess because Jess was sketchy but you had strong ties from my perspective. But I think we had landed on you going.

Did y'all have a foursome? You Dan nate and Hayden? Nate came to me at the merge and told me about it but I never knew if it was real. I thought it was.

#6624 Rip me. Was the plan the same the day before so I can blame production for the delay and not take none of the lessons from this?

To be completely honest... the extra day might have done it. I can only speak for myself, but I wasn't 100% sure Penner was on board for the plan to vote you out until Monday afternoon/evening-ish, and until then it seemed like they were leaning Heidi. But at least you don't have to think about the what-ifs since Heidi won the IC. icon_laughing It's hard to say for sure.
