Some clumsy editing caused this episode to fall short of a unanimous positive response, but on the whole, most fans really enjoyed it. It feels like we are at a crossroads, and the next episode has the potential to be very significant. Will we get a predictable win by the controlling alliance, or will we see the underdogs shake things up and flip the script? We can't wait to find out where this season will take us next!

With double Tribal Councils, our first jury member, and a record breaking challenge performance, this episode sparked a lot of discussion amongst the super fans this week. While the double elimination with a rollback to two tiny tribes is off putting to some fans, sentiment on the whole was positive. Now that we've finally exited the Mergatory, we are excited to see how the game progresses from here.

The Mergatory episodes have a history of being on the predictable side, and that lead some fans to describe this one as boring compared to the previous episodes. The cast continued to deliver interesting content in spite of that and once again prompted a lot of discussion about the events of this week and ideas for what we might can expect next.

The fans loved this action and emotion packed episode, and twenty four of them showed up this week to share their reactions, perceptions, and predictions. Everyone acknowledged the significance of "the moment", but were also asking how that will impact the game going forward. There are at least four castaways that might be targeted next, but it's not clear how it will play out. Bring on the Mergatory!

That felt like another jam packed episode. The Reward challenge was fun with some new elements but maybe a bit anticlimactic at the end. We got some good Tribe Time framed by the rewards and lack thereof. Then we got an emotional Immunity challenge, topped off by a bit of a curve at Tribal Council. How did that moment at the Immunity challenge register with you? What alliances do you see forming at the merge? Do you see a path for a meatshield alliance?

The fans were very happy with this episode. The shuffle appears to have saved the pre-merge portion of the game, and all the surprises and expert level gameplay helped balance out the loss of a clear fan favorite. It's got us stoked for the next episode!

Tribe shuffles inject randomness and really test a castaways ability to adapt and roll with the punches. It's unfortunate that production chose to stay with tiny tribes, but on the bright side, we certainly got a surprise out of it. That was a great demonstration of strategic gameplay! Combine that with a tribe that we didn't expect to lose, and we got one heck of an episode! What do you think of the new tribes?
