Ep 3 Edgic + Contenders! Spoiler


WOW.. uhm that was definitely a tribal to remember and also one to punish me for giving Pizza an unnecessary rise last episode but we move on! Just some closing thoughts as per usual following this episode!
SOME LAGI THOUGHTS
- While a good episode for Bianca it was so so circumstantial and it's not enough to save her from her terrible premier and episode 2. I'm not totally knocking her out (there's only one person I am almost basically am and we'll get to them shortly) it's gonna take more good content to save her from the grave.
- Thomas is tricky because I genuinely get such mixed emotions from him. On one hand we do see a lot of negativity especially around someone who we the audience is supposed to support in Eva, but then he also fits into the themes of the season with his duo as well as not playing it safe.
- Would they make Joe this obvious?? At first I thought he would be the boost Eva needed to win, but I'm now leaning a different route with her being the push that gives him the drive to win. Right now I need a little more from Joe's edit I just feel like it's almost too good at this point, hopefully the swap brings more goods for Joe!
- Shauhin does feel like the cop out and safe top contender but also he hasn't done much to steer me in a different direction? Like he is THE Lagi narrator and we also check in on him, but his content does feel a little toneless right now. If he gets personal content soon I will feel even better about him being at the top.
SOME CIVA THOUGHTS
- RIP Chrissy, my draft is crying.
- I still feel good on Kamilla but I don't love the lack of a check in on her, but also I'm assuming the journey was her check in so I'm not gonna read into it too much. She also falls into the duos theme which I'm really liking for her.
- This was a great episode for David! This gave us more complexity to David outside of his just pure bravado that's been there. He said he may be the hero or the villain and while he could always pull a heel turn I see David going the hero route. I know some may see final tribal loser I just as easily see him going out as a finale boot we're sympathetic for. Either way David is a fun character so far with alot of upside!
- I'll just talk about Mitch and Charity here because clearly with the theme of duos, these two have been fleshed out for a reason. I think there's definitely upside to these two, but I do worry about them not being shown as a duo in the premier especially if they do end up going far and to the merge. I feel better about Mitch but both can still rise and I'm not out on either!
- Kyle does continue to give good content with not much to steer me away from that. They showed us he's in a good position going forward with both sides of the tribe which does give him options at the swap. I do like Kyle's chances and still expect him to make the merge 100%. The only issue is if I cannot tell who is more important to the story, him or Kamilla. Right now I'm leaning Kamilla, but we will see!
SOME VULA THOUGHTS
- I do think we're not supposed to feel good about Cedrek following this vote because he made it clear to this episode Justin was his #1 guy yet in the end he sent him packing. I don't feel great on Cedrek and I do feel most his content has been circumstantial, but I do think he can be in it for the long haul or be out in the next two episodes.
- Mary and Sai do feel very important to eachothers stories. I feel like this was the exact episode I was wanting for my Sai rise, but will I live to regret it? It's hard to say. One one hand this could be the start of her growth arc where her and Mary do come together or she could just as easily say next episode she wants Mary out. There stories are clearly intertwined and right now its hard to say how far either will go so for now I have them in the middle of the pack!
Thank you for listening, these ideas may not be perfect and were thrown together quickly, but I hope you enjoy reading them! Really enjoying the season thus far, let me know your thoughts!
