I don't think there was an idol.  There was never a prompt to play one before the votes were read until the last couple rounds

[Jaime]

I have a feeling if Abe doesn’t win the challenge he will be joining us no way Evvie and Xander are stupid enough to take him to the end 

If Abe wins I feel he will take Xander with him over Evvie 

Anyone else have any thoughts on this 

[Jean-Robert]

I agree with you

[Deshawn]

100% yeah. Feels like a given that both Abe and Evvie will take Xander over each other. And I doubt Xander will want to try and make an argument against Abe

[Shan]

I think Abe and Evvie think each other are the biggest threat, and Xander knows he's going to the end regardless Evvie 100% will not take Abe to the end, and Abe might be more emotional but I don't think he'd take Evvie either.

[Sara]

I would say my personal order as of right now before I hear any arguments or ask any questions would be:

1. Abe just based on sheer dominance in the challenges but I'm gonna need some more from him in terms of strategy and social to decide if he's worthy.

2. Xander for him being a good social connection for me even if he took the softest path possible by throwing his vote at my vote out, that shit still rubs me the wrong way and I'm going to need to hear some strategy other than "I just couldn't bring myself to vote for you or Abe" (yawn)

3. Evvie, I feel like I know the least about her game up to this point, and to be honest the constant use of Papa Jeff just gives me the ick. I'm sure there's some more strategy and behind the scenes info to be revealed from her, but for right now she's the biggest question mark, so I don't think I can stack her above the other two at this time. Granted I have been on a bender all this week so my reviewing of tribal has been happening after 12 beers at 2AM... But there's still lots of words to be said in the next 48 hours so I am looking forward to it. Also totally looking forward to this reunion and awards show!!! 

[Jean-Robert]

Lol Sara I love that Evvie Papa Jeff take. 

[Jaime]

Sara I couldn’t agree more when it comes to Abe he is also my number one pick right now the fact he was the biggest threat and was never taken out is impressive in and of itself and those challenges were very hard and he would finish them soooo fast!!!!

I don’t love his approach I think he thought he was gonna be taken out much sooner so his message to JR when Deshawn was taken out was his haha moment and I don’t blame him for being gitty he got what he wanted I hated when he would act stupid at tribals his acting was awful but he got way to far in this game and for that if he is in the end unless whoever is sitting next to him can convince me other wise he has my vote 

[Jean-Robert]

@previouscontestants What awards are normally given out at this ceremony? Or is it like dependent on the season?

[Jaime]

Also if it’s between Evvie and Xander I’m really torn I dont know who I would pick to be honest Sara I agree Evvie papa Jeff is fucking weird and makes me uncomfortable because of how often she says it 

Xander and me really clicked on a personal level the few times I talked to him I think he played a cool game being in that tight three alliance under everyone’s noses and no one really saw it at first so I guess I’m leaning more toward Xander but I think it will all come down to what they say and how the present themselves in their opening statements and how they answer the questions

[Jean-Robert]

Damn lol. Hearing you guys say this is making me kind of root for Abe in this last immunity challenge. I do not want Xander to win this game.

[Jaime]

Can you tell me why you would want Evvie to win over Xander? 

[Jaime]

I just wasn’t in the game as long as you guys so I’m getting a lot of my info based of what you guys say then compare that to my own personal experience 

[Danni Boatwright]

Drunk stranded is peak stranded imo

[Leslie]

Okay, I have some thoughts on this. I understand what you guys are saying about Xander, but I do think that Evvie deserves a win over him. He really hasn't done anything, from my perspective, to go against those two even though he was constantly told that he wouldn't win. He took Shan out "because he didn't like her" at the seven instead of taking out the biggest threat. I have a really hard time voting for someone who can't make a strategic move. Just going, to be honest. I think that Evvie while being a snake, did a good job of making people trust her. I feel like a lot of us did think we were close to Evvie and that would have taken a lot of work to balance. I might be a bit biased because maybe Xander did more than I saw. I don't know what Abe told JR about voting Deshawn out that night, but he told me no so that is a point of confusion if that was his plan along. That makes me think that Evvie had a big part in talking him into it. Side note, I personally will lose it if Abe doesn't really participate or gives up tonight. Because what the heck? I know he has the Vegas trip, but that would just suck so much to go out and have him just give up.

Aaron was right. So jealous right now!

I definitely think along those lines, too. Jeff has been dragging Xander for like 2 weeks at this point, starting with the Scooby Doo thing to full on ignoring him for entire tribals and making fun of him and it took him till last night to finally say "maybe there's stuff people don't know about yet"?  There's a world of difference between laying low to make sure you don't become a target and what he did. So I'm very curious to hear what he has to say in his final tribal

I agree with this. I will say, I am a very curious person, and I was going to wait to share, but why not now! I reached out to all three letting them know what my perception was of their game and how I could help them in the end game. Abe said he wouldn't share any of what he had done because he thought that I would use it against him, Evvie just said basically what she said in tribal, and Xander said that his big move this season that he didn't do with Evvie and Abe was making people think Sara and Heather were going at each other. I don't remember exactly how he put it, but I know he mention Deshawn at some point, and he was able to convince Sara that Heather was after her and make Sara a bigger threat. I may have understood it wrong, but that was what I took from the conversation. They said this was very early into the game, but if that is their biggest move, I have questions. I wish we could go back in the chat though because I cannot remember exactly what Xander said.

[Jean-Robert]

I think Leslie and Deshawn summed it up well, him taking out Shan at 7 because he didn’t like her was a real conversation that we had and I was pissed at him for that. I also think that out of the 3, he would’ve benefitted the most out of keeping me in and dumping Abe at 5 to differentiate himself amongst the 3 of them, yet he didn’t even consider it. Evvie, who was correct in thinking Leslie and I wouldn’t take her over Xander to 3 still entertained the idea with us and at my final tribal. While a lot of what I did was an act, when I blew up at Xander my last night, I was genuinely annoyed with him because all merge, I continuously tried to work with him and make moves with him to better his personal game, but he decided to sit in the back seat of his alliance instead. Think about it, I was never really into the idea of working with Deshawn, Abe, and Evvie because I thought they were a strong three, so I took the route of trying to work with him and Sara to take one of these three (preferably Abe) out and then have myself Leslie and Shan able to gain some sort of control in the numbers, and then Xander and Sara who I probably would’ve been the biggest advocate for when Shan came to me the next vote begging for us to vote out one of them. I just feel like I had the best intentions for Xander in the game even though he spread my messages to Sara, and he failed to reciprocate any of my generosity. Call it bitter, but that’s how I see it personally.

[Jaime]

That’s all great points if Xanders big move was making Sara think heather wanted her out that’s AWFUL he better sell himself better than that the night of tribal or I have a feeling he will be shit out of luck the fact that none of them tried to break their alliance and make moves makes me feel like they are all EXTREMELY confident in the game they have played (I think that’s their god complex talking) 
Im so curious how they will pitch their game to us
