As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
First things first. The title of the episode had NOTHING to do with the boot story. Hot girl with a grudge was about Morgan, yet Morgan didn't exact any type of grudge. So right away we were kind of led astray.
Second. The parsing of the teases... Three castaways face a game-changing decision minutes after the competition begins. While we didn't predict completely the leaders and the weaklings. Some evidence was out there. LJ as leader and Morgan as weakest was kind of an easy pick. Garrett lazing about in his underwear was a clue, as was Trish sitting alone on the boat prow. I could have guessed David took the leader position, but I figured he'd start a little bit UTR. I was wrong. There were caps of Sarah raising her hand as leader.
Meanwhile, one tribe pours both blood and sweat into an early challenge Early challenge means 2nd IC. (Which was not a separate reward challenge) Aparri breaks skin during the second challenge.
one castaway seeks revenge after discovering that her tribe wants to vote her out Morgan....has yet to do anything about being the odd-girl out. Other than clinging to Brice and commiserating with Jeremiah.
So, the boot story was somehow tied into the 'early game-changing decision'. As both the leader and the weakest were booted in ep.1. Again, I think we were led astray.
IC/TC1: The challenge was pretty much figured out (But helped to have caps of the 2nd IC to measure against.) that Luzon was the loser and would go to TC. That David was the boot is of no surprise.
IC2/TC2: The IC came down to LJ vs JTia but we had no idea how far behind JTia would end up being. Without seeing the state of Luzon's puzzle it then came down to a choice of either Luzon or Solana for the loss. Adding in the clues of a Brice/Jefra rift, Garrett at a possible future challenge, and the 'Hot girl with a grudge' title, I can see how we were led down the path of least resistance. As it turned out. Garretts swimming shots were from something innocuous at camp. The 'Brice/Jefra rift' and 'Morgan/LJ grudge' will have to wait for a later episode.
