> [@Jas09](#): > > I was kind of surprised Jeff and the producers went for it. The shots in the dark are on of the few levers they have to bring suspense to an otherwise dull TC. No more immunity idols at all would have been much bigger. The show loves the idols, though, so they wouldn’t go for it. Jeff is show-runner at this point. I bet that he made that decision, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they paused for a moment(edited out) and discussed it with the other producers, etc. I think they got off easy. ---

I can’t even remember who has idols anymore? Sue maybe? Does Rachel still have hers? I’m doubting either of them will even need one - Sue definitely won’t. ---

Just Sue and Rachel from what we’ve seen. ---

Yeah, she is certainly getting the "winner edit’ and she has really done nothing exciting in the game so far. > [@Jas09](#): > > I can’t even remember who has idols anymore? Sometimes they will show that on the screen (“Rachel - one hidden immunity idol”). ---

Well, Teeny screwed up, Andy was the big swing vote, and he was torn. Go with Operation Italy? Or go with the flow? Teeny made it very very clear it was gonna be just the four of them, thus Andy was on the outs. ’ ---

Teeny made it very very clear it was gonna be just the four of them, thus Andy was on the outs. I don’t think he was ever torn. Operation Italy was his whole plan. It was just a matter of convincing the other four to split the way he wanted. > [@jsc1953](#): > > I guess they’d never seen The Italian Job. I mean…you’re looking for a name for your Italy-related caper, it’s right there… I have to wonder if the producers stepped in and told them not to call it that because of copyright. I would’ve called it The Tuscan Task myself. ---

_BIEBER HAIR!?!_ Kyle has _Bieber hair_?!? Why did I ever want him to win… 😉 This was an episode. Again, cool challenges. Nicely balanced, anyone could win. I just didn’t have much excitement. And I was disappointed at the lack of idols on the reward. ---

Wonder if Sam and Genevieve threw the immunity challenge, Operation Italy would not have worked if either of them won the Immunity Challenge. Teeny came off as very entitled and a misandrist in last night’s episode. ---

I think Teeny’s only shot is if it’s just her, Sue, and Andy. Gen, Sam, or Rachel win easily. ---

Or if Rachel had played her Block-a-Vote. It’s rather miraculous that such an intricate plan worked to perfection. Agreed about Teeny. Really not a good look. ---

> It’s rather miraculous that such an intricate plan worked to perfection. For Sure, a minority alliance (3 vs 4) ovecame the majority alliance when the majority alliance not only had the block-a-vote advantage, it also had two Hidden Immunity Idols, and won the Immunity Challenge. I think Rachel wins the season. If not Rachel, then it’s Andy. ---

Important to note that two of those advantages are held by Rachel, who probably wants Carolyn out anyway. And now with those two advantages she’s basically guaranteed final 4. ---

> [@AlsoNamedBort](#): > > Gen, Sam, or Rachel win easily. The first two are not well liked. Nor is Sue. > [@AlsoNamedBort](#): > > And now with those two advantages she’s basically guaranteed final 4. How many players have gone home with idols in their pockets? Yes, if she plays smart. The problem is that up until last night, the votes have all been due to a personal grudge- well, Okay not with Rome, whom everyone disliked. And i dont like all the Teeny wailing and gnashing of teeth when she is left out of the blind side plotting- look, when they KNOW you will fink them out and tell the proposed victim the plans, they have to leave you out. ---

> [@AlsoNamedBort](#): > > Sam is well liked. And Gen is great at strategy. I am not sure about that last- Her big move was a campaign to get rid of Sol due 1100% to a personal grudge. The 4 underdogs were certainly talking a lot of nasty shit about Sam, and they fact he didnt pick them for the reward.
