cut Stephanie

save Bradley 

I agree with the sentiment that, as a whole, the season wasn’t stellar but Juju and Shea saved it for me. I tuned in every week to see what they would do, which is a testament to how good they are and I think the lack of a truly terrible result (e.g. Manila, Shangela) made it better so if this format is what it takes to achieve that, then so be it.

ALSO CAN WE TALK ABOUT JUJU’S RUNWAY???

So happy for Shea! Juju did me so proud too. I love her forever and ever

I enjoyed Dean more. The bulge though

 

such a tough decision.

Chris’s end game was also stellar. He took a huge (no pun intended) risk to go to fire against Devins knowing that if he pulled it off, he would win. It was thrilling to watch, even if EoE, as a concept, is bogus.

Dean vs Chris? My gay heart

Cycle 11 - Final Cuts

 

13 contestants will be cut in this cycle. The cycle is split into 5 rounds:

 

Round One - 7 rankers choose 7 contestants to be safe until Round Five

Round Two - Rules currently unknown. However, contestants will be cut, and it's possible that contestants who survive will advance straight to the Top 24.

Round Three - Rules currently unknown. However, contestants will be cut, and it's possible that contestants who survive will advance straight to the Top 24.

Round Four - Rules currently unknown. However, contestants will be cut, and it's possible that contestants who survive will advance straight to the Top 24.

Round Five -  Rules currently unknown, but the 7 contestants from Round One will be facing off somehow and be at risk of being cut before the Top 24.

 

So how do you choose who will compete in Round Five? You either (1) pick someone you like and want them safe until Round Five, or (2) pick someone you don't like and don't want them to have the chance of advancing to the Top 24 in Rounds Two through Four.

Lol basically you’re either giving someone 1 chance to get cut or 1 chance to get saved, rather than 4 chances. It’s a blessing and a curse.

It basically means they will be forced to compete in the final round which has it pros (not cut before then) and it’s cons (also not advanced to the Top 24). 

Kim Powers (Survivor Africa)

Kim placed 6th on Survivor’s third season, Africa. Some people definitely love her but I never really felt much for her that season. She was part of the Samburu tribe and part of the younger alliance in the tribe along with Brandon Quinton and Lindsey Ritcher. Silas Gather later betrayed the older alliance and joined them, giving them even numbers when they went to tribal the third week and causing a tie vote between Carl and Lindsey, where Carl lost the tiebreaker. The next week, they went to tribal again and the four of them stayed strong and voted out Linda. 
 

Before the next immunity, there was a tribe swap and Silas, Frank and Teresa joined Boran while Lindsey, Brandon and Kim gained Kelly, Lex and Tom on Samburu. They ended up winning and Boran voted out Silas. The next week, Samburu lost and the ex-Boran members used Lindsey’s past votes to their advantage to break the tie in her favour and send her home.

Kim was then left with only Brandon, but when the tribes merged in Moto Maji at Day 20 it became clear that he wasn’t on her side. Kim managed to stay afloat by sticking with the majority and voting out Clarence, since he was a physical threat. The next week, Brandon’s alliegances became clear and he betrayed his fellow Samburu’s and helped the Boran’s vote out Kelly. It backfired however, because he was then seen as untrustworthy voted out the next week. The following week, Frank was voted out for vocalized his political views. Theresa and Kim were then the only two Samburu’s remaining and despite their best efforts, the Boran’s stayed strong and Kim out. In the end, she voted for Kim to win but, as we know, Ethan triumphed instead. All in all, Kim had an interesting run as an underdog but she didn’t leave much of an impression on me so I’m happy to cut her here.

I'm confused.

I just explained this to him so I'll give everyone the same information.

Basically, pick someone you wouldn't want to automatically advance to the Top 24 or someone you wouldn't want to automatically get cut.

For example, if you wanted to advance one of your personal favourites, but didn't want someone to cut Kelly Clarkson, you might pick her.

Or, alternatively, if you wanted Kelly to be forced to compete in the final round of this cycle, rather than automatically advance to the Top 24, you might pick her.

Cycle 11 - The Final Cuts

Congratulations are in order for our Top 37!

That being said, only 24 of them will make it to the final vote, which means we still need to cut 13 of them.

How, you ask? Well... as the judges, you each have several powers this cycle,

but you won't know what they are until I post about them:

For Round 1, each of you will pick 1 of the remaining 37 contestants.

This contestant will be forced to compete in the fifth part of this round.

This power can be used in two ways:

1. You may pick someone that you don't want someone to cut in Rounds 2, 3 or 4

or

2. You may pick someone that you don't want someone to advance to the Top 24 in Rounds 2, 3 or 4

Choose wisely how you want to use this power.

Once everyone has chosen which contestant they want to have compete in Round 5, I will post Round 2.

The title makes me think it’s going to be a folk album, or maybe she’s going back to her country roots. Probably not but a guy can hope, lol.

I wondered this too. I’m going to guess acoustic folk stuff. I wonder if Jack Antonoff produced it again.

Lol guess we need to update the T Swift round to include this

Katie Hanson (Philippines)

Katie placed 12th on Survivor Philippines. As a former Miss Delaware, she got a reputation as the pretty girl on the Kalabaw tribe, where she joined up with the women’s alliance at first. As we all know, the Matsing tribe lost the first four tribal councils, so Katie was safe on Kalabaw until the tribe absorbed Denise Stapley and lost their first challenge. On Day 12, Katie’s ally Dana quit, then on Day 13, Katie joined the majority in voting out her only remaining ally, Dawson. The following week, Kalabaw lost another immunity challenge and Katie became the target after being perceived as the weakest member of the tribe. She received four votes and was sent packing before the game even really began. This is a plenty high spot for her considering all the bigger names that have gone before her. So long, fodder!
