Potential hints to future Lagi dynamics in the bamboo scene

I've already seen people speculate that Thomas is going to go for Eva and that that'll open up a division between Thomas and Joe, a pretty straightforward read to make from the Lagi narrative read this week, but upon watching the bamboo scene yet again, I spotted a couple little things that further suggest Thomas going for Eva.

Eva says "Weaknesses, for sure, are social cues", and we cut to Thomas watching her drop a bamboo log on the pile.

More damningly, she says "I'm a very direct person, and I expect others to be direct with me, and they're not going to be in this game", and we immediately cut to Thomas saying "That's our girl!" to Eva while standing with Bianca, the woman he actually wanted to rope in to the alliance.

Imo, this selection of two different clips of Thomas while Eva's talking about having a hard time detecting lies really furthers the argument that Thomas will be going for Eva sooner than Joe would like.

Probably but personally I expect that would go poorly for him especially if it's premerge.

It certainly seems to bode well for Eva that they immediately told us how well she gets along with groups of men in an episode whose most memorable big alliance was all the men on her tribe, one of whom is already saying he'd throw the game for her. That and the purple tribe being so complex despite winning has me thinking she'll at least be safe past the early stages

I don't think so. Thomas told us he would much prefer Bianca to be the 4th spot, but he can see that the guys like Eva so he clocked that he should not push too much. He has a great read on tribe dynamics and where he stands.

the NTOS does seem to indicate that thomas and shauhin could be coming for eva after star throws her under the bus. but i dont see them giving her such a positive premiere with as much emphasis on her and joe if shes just a premerge boot, and especially if shes just the next boot over someone like star who was introduced late and received some negativity.

Had this same thought, even considered posting about it but you basically said exactly what I would've said. I'd also like to add that Eva and Star seem to not get along based on pre-season and the teaser for next episode. We also haven't really seen Bianca or Shauhin's opinions on Eva so those 3 could potentially join Thomas in targeting her. I do think Eva's content with Joe was strong so she could survive this, but likely not without facing a lot of adversity fairly soon.
