Yay the season has started! Well after the previously on, whatever. Just read Jem's exit interview - spoiler alert she's pissed, at herself as much as the people she thought she had a solid alliance with - and some interesting points. She said that before the game started she vowed to herself that any time she had an idol she'd play it rather than risk a blindside. Even if she wasn't the target, it would help to see where she stood with the other players. However, she also said that after putting them through six days (!) of trying to find that box, they'd be so mad at her they'd vote her out next opportunity. She was surprised, as was I, that Maria used both her votes when they already had a majority, so maybe she didn't entire trust her alliance either?
Which brings me to what I'm watching for with merge. After He Who Shall Not Be Named spilled his guts on his journey, I thought Kenzie would be toast no matter what happens. Now I'm thinking there's a huge opportunity to divide up Siga permanently, because along with Jem, Moriah has got to be really upset, and she's still there, with no alliance at all now. Ben also saw his name written down, perhaps knew he was safe, but it does scare one I think. Maria has shown her hand in many ways, already blowing one alliance in favour of what was supposed to be a very sekret one. The Nami tribe members are a wildcard for me, having never put their alliances to the test - which might make them resolve to stick together, but likely not. I think not all of them want to work with Soda, and I'm thinking Venus has a lot of game left in her, especially now with a larger group to pick from and work with.
I thought the secret alliance talk at the journey was intriguing. I might have the details of this wrong, but there was a season of BB years ago, where four guys decided on day one that they were going to the end, and their plan was to each make a side alliance with someone else to both hide theirs and keep the information flowing. And it worked!
