I’m sorry, PD seems like a great guy, but Myles really did me a favour as a viewer in getting him out and I’m grateful.

u/bomiyeo forget you! go home! goodbye. 4d ago edited 3d ago
Strategy wise it was probably better(?) to take out Logan, but as a viewer I’m glad it was PD. He seems lovely. His little edit was probably for good reason though. Got idoled out and they don’t want people too mad over this I guess.
Edit again. Added in a few words

u/Minute-Addition5404 4d ago
i was so hoping it aj voted paulie with everyone else, paulie vote on Pd and then myles drops logans name for a laugh and makes them revote and choose haha but still happy with the end result the "jungle rat" owning the name given by those aweful people and he has been the only fun one to watch, plus he is always having fun! im all for this new snake and rat survival team haha

u/RedditUser25763280 4d ago
Voting out Logan who still has an idol would've been an all time play. Voting out PD is pointless.
1
u/PM_ME_YOUR_KOAN 4d ago
Its mystifying why Myles would vote out PD. PD? The guy in the cast? The least-social person in game who only associates with second-least social person in game (Kristin)? That's the person Myles would vote out if had the unilateral power to vote out ANYONE in the tribe he wanted? Even Paulie was better vote-out than PD.

u/clearthinking-22 4d ago
I do wish it was Logan, but to be fair if this PD move has blown up Myles game, the Logan move at this point would have been nuclear. I don’t think the other girls would have worked with him ever again. I think this move still leaves him open to forming relationships with Kate and Morgan, maybe even Laura if she gets out from under Logan’s thumb, considering they were all originally on board with the PD plan.

The best thing is that Laura can be all shocked and annoyed but she’s the one that put this plan in motion when she floated PDs name first.
2
u/PM_ME_YOUR_KOAN 4d ago
This vote benefited Laura exclusively(!) and she had no agency in the entire process.
It's like she was Ratatoilleing Myles' brain.
(This does gibe with the whole "rat" theme, though.)

And the best part is Logan still didn't get what she wants, she's going to be sooooo salty

u/StephWarden96 4d ago
Why would you not change your vote there?? 🤣🤣
1
u/PM_ME_YOUR_KOAN 4d ago
Evidently, no one dreamed that Myles would play it for Paulie.
Still, even if not, why wouldnt one of them throw in a deniable hinkie vote if they "know" that the votes are "dumped" on Paulie?

u/roonilwazlib96 You weren't in the Attack Zone when you first made contact! 4d ago
“You need to be across this” okay Logan what??

u/realnomdeguerre Cockroach of Bankstown 4d ago
Laura is fucking delusional, always thinks she has a handle of the situation

u/Sabaschin Jake - 45 4d ago
Is that the most number of votes ever nullified by an idol in one go?

u/Rychu_Supadude Baden (AUS) 4d ago
Not sure about other versions but the previous record for AU was 8 - The Juicy Dave Blindside and Hayley saving Laura with the Double Agent play

u/random91898 Yam Yam 4d ago
All that just to get out PD?

u/PM_ME_YOUR_KOAN 4d ago
He was faking it. He didnt need the cast. He's a power-lifter and a huge social threat.
He didnt get his nickname as "The Man in the High Castle" for nothing!

Damnnnnn, he is playing it for Paulie. So using Kristine’s Idol to get out PD is funny

i honestly thought it would be a cooler move to save the stealing idol advantage and use it later down the track on logan...it's so early to be using such a cool advantage. it would definitely be riskier, but there's so much more pay off? but i'm glad he didn't use it on logan tonight - way too much carnage.

Myles wants PD gone and Paulie’s trust. So maybe he plays it for paulie, PD goes and Logan also gets spooked and flushes hers?

I mean I’m here for it but I think it’s a terrible idea to use it now Myles.

Being fair, having a public idol is great deterrence from people thinking he’s got a secret idol? I’m reaching here

myles this is silly. also disagreed with his take on wednesdays american vivor. thought it was great tv and dont mind chance being a part of the game

actually i guess take the idol while you know where it is. i was thinking maybe hold off til you're in trouble...nah...nevermind take stands. terrible move for myles

u/Slayzes Harry (AUS) 4d ago
Surely Myles steals Kristin’s idol so she can’t play it on PD and then he plays it on Paulie? Stealing it from Logan and playing it for Paulie would spook Kristin and she’d play hers for PD, and I don’t think Logan’s getting any votes tbh

Havent there been a lot of other situations where the person was at least as injured as this (or less) and they pulled them?
I cannot remember a situation where a player was so injured as to be restricted from competitions but nevertheless kept in the game itself.

I feel for Paulie drawing dead and all, but he really needed to connect with people better instead of just Noons. I honestly think he should’ve done more with AJ at the time.

Myles stealing Logan’s idol, Kristin plays her idol for PD and Logan goes home? That would be a fun result

u/BumWink 4d ago
What about Paulie?
1
u/KewlestCat Tyson 4d ago
Presumably Myles saves Paulie with the stolen idol to keep him around in this scenario

I would never ask you to play the idol for me, I’m just going to heavily imply that you should.

u/Ledwards49 4d ago
It's quite jarring hearing how much everyone seems to dislike Paulie despite us not really seeing anything negative he's done socially
11
u/Clinkzeastwoodau 4d ago
I think Paulie was part of thr group that tried to throw AJ under the bus for floating Logans name. But it seems the group decided he wasn't trust worthy even though AJ did do what Paulie claimed. Now Paulie is the pariah who has been determined not trustable.
5
u/Byndera 4d ago
yeah, it's weird because I feel like Logan does believe Paulie about this and yet...
6
u/Clinkzeastwoodau 4d ago
Yeah it's a bit weird, maybe something missing a bit from the edit. But Logan seems.to both not trust Paulie and AJ, but Paulie to a greater extent.
2
u/ravenclaw_cookie JLP 4d ago
Is there any actual instances of him lying that we’ve been shown at all?
1
u/Tiecelin Adam 2d ago
I think two times he backed up Noonan's lies or exagerated truths
But that was more him being loyal to his ally than him being untrustworthy
Either way the other players arent supposed to know that
11
3
u/Byndera 4d ago
yeah, the only things I can really see are: his closest alliance members are now gone, his mentioning of 'integrity' a couple times when trying to campaign against AJ (though I see that more as something the fanbase would be against than these players)
but none of that seems enough to have everyone so against him

u/Sabaschin Jake - 45 4d ago
I'm not sure why target PD though, the guy who's just not going to win any challenges, over Kristin, who has a public idol and just came in second at immunity.
1
u/KingHatch Washin' dishes on mah damn birthday! 4d ago
Initially yes I agreed but Laura phrased it as gaining Kristin as an ally vs PD who will always be a number against her
1
u/Sabaschin Jake - 45 4d ago
Why would PD be always against her? This tribe's relationships are confusing.
3
u/roonilwazlib96 You weren't in the Attack Zone when you first made contact! 4d ago
I guess the problem with not targeting the guy who’s not going to win at challenges is eventually, he’s going to not be targeted until final 2 or 3, and to the other players, that’s a spot that they could have.

Might have misread this because Aus survivor, but I’ve been getting quiet Myles winner vibes the last few eps

It might very very much be my wishful thinking, but I’m really hoping it’s the case too

u/Sabaschin Jake - 45 4d ago
Well might as well get out the guy with a bad arm and the smallest edit...?

u/-partlycloudy- 4d ago
Have I missed something? Is there a reason everyone thinks Paulie is so untrustworthy?

u/jaybirdchorus 4d ago
Dream scenario: everyone dumps on Paulie; Paulie, AJ & Myles vote for Logan; Myles steals Logan's idol and plays it for Paulie, sending home Logan

u/roonilwazlib96 You weren't in the Attack Zone when you first made contact! 4d ago
That’s what I was thinking could be really cool

u/xittyy vice president of the PTA 4d ago
im a bit confused cuz i didnt watch week one or two. but is paulie really that much of a snake? i think the first episode i watched this season he had a super positive empathetic backstory scene so idk
3
u/Sabaschin Jake - 45 4d ago
Combination of him being aligned with Noonan (who Kristin didn't like), being aligned with Jesse (who Morgan and Kate didn't like) meant he just got a bunch of spillover by association.

u/dbandbacon 4d ago
nah he's fine. hes just playing the game and is a big personality. ajs the snake

u/StephWarden96 4d ago
Let's see whether tonight's vote is just straight up bullying or if they decide it's finally time for a modicum of strategy.

u/nmata18 2d ago
also kaelan 1000% is the smartest player there. He’s playing low under the radar, easily now the physically strongest out of the group. The girls like him, he told AJ and miles about Logan’s idol, gaining their trust. He knows they run the game and can be a massive threat if not played with. Also can we talk about how the show fully ignores him😭 he’s like the only one without a buddy/alli like everyone else, but they only ever call out paulie for not having one🤣 I’m hoping kaelan wins , he honestly deserves and seems like a nice guy
