4. "RE: JP via EW" |
I don't know about Jon, I thought his edit took some real hits lately. He looks like he can't make decisions on his own (playing his first idol only when Natalie and Jaclyn, apparently tells him to and in the last episode, he's shown running to Missy for support while Jac's confessional about him having to consult his mom on everything IRL. That's not the way a Survivor winner is going to be portrayed at this stage of the game.
I should be watched....closely.

True. He does look vulnerable edit wise.But with the 3 votes for Keith, Jon can deduce the votes were from him, Jac and Keith (the only vote getters were Alec and Keith, and Keith surely didn't vote for himself), and that in order for there to have been 4 votes for Alec, Nat Missy and Baylor had to have lied to them before TC and again at TC. He's on to all three of them now. If they don't know that he has the HI, they might team up against him (with a prodding from vindictive Nat), and whoever Jon and Jac votes for will be gone. Unless they play Nat's HI. If Missy is medevac’d, that leaves Nat, Baylor and Keith in their crosshairs. I'm guessing that Nat would be the especially duplicitous target in their eyes.

But ... If Missy does leave the Game, Baylor, Natalie and Keith could split their votes 2 - 1 and a)flush Jon's Idol | b) send one of Jon or Jaclyn to Ponderosa. At worst, there would be a 2 - 2 tie with the revote a 2 -1 foregone conclusion. Note: I don't think that Fire Starting kicks in until Final Four. G

You can't split votes when you are 3 against 2. You need 4 votes to nullify the idol and boot the other person.

LAST EDITED ON 12-04-14 AT 07:05 PM (EST)It dawned on me a bit late that, normally, that would be true ... But, in this case (should Missy be removed from the Game), there are also two opposing HIIs that would be in play at a resulting Final Five. And, assuming that one of Keith, Baylor and Natalie win II, if they play their one of the two HIIs correctly and deflect Jon's and Jaclyn's 2 votes (or 1 of their 2 votes - if split), then no matter how Jon plays his Idol, he or Jaclyn leaves the Game or there is a tie and a 2 to 1 revote. Or, am I still behind a mathmatic 8-Ball? G

LAST EDITED ON 12-05-14 AT 05:57 PM (EST)Since it is really unlikely that Missy is going anywhere, this is very probably a moot point ... but ... There are five players left in the Game - Jon and Jaclyn | Natalie, Baylor and Keith. HIIs must be played or become invalid. One of Natalie, Baylor or Keith has won II. For argument's sake, let's assume this fortunate soul is Baylor. A - Jon and Jaclyn cast their two votes against Keith. Natalie, Baylor and Keith cast two votes against Jon and one vote against Jaclyn. Jon plays his Idol for himself. Jaclyn now has one valid vote against her. Natalie plays her Idol for Keith. Jaclyn leaves the Game. B - Jon and Jaclyn cast one vote against Keith and one vote against Natalie. Natalie, Baylor and Keith cast two votes against Jon and one vote against Jaclyn. Jon plays his Idol for himself. Jaclyn now has one valid vote against her. Natalie plays her Idol for Keith. Natalie now has one valid vote against her. On the revote, Jon casts his one vote against Natalie. Baylor and Keith cast their two votes against Jaclyn. Jaclyn leaves the Game. Idols are gone and Jaclyn is at Ponderosa. Isn't she? G Note: The only advantage that Jon and Jaclyn would gain by splitting their votes would be the opportunity to argue their case during the mandatory discussion between votes.

What she is saying is Nat plays her idol for Keith(or if he wins immunity on himself) and she and Keith vote for Jon and have Baylor vote for Jaclyn. While Jon and Jaclyn vote for Keith or Nat(if Keith does not have immunity). It will also be the last time the idol can be played so Nat will play hers and Jon will play his. I think the blindside will be Jaclyn or Baylor(if J/J turn on her and get Keith to) and it could even be Keith if he thinks he's safe.

38. "RE: JP via EW" |
I know what she is saying but the simple answer to these two questions show why splitting votes when you are 3 against 2 isn't smart at all even with HII in play: - Why do people split votes? They split votes to avoid risks. If you have 4 votes to split on 2 people then you avoid all risks but it simply does not work when you are 3 against 2. - Who is in a position to split the votes? Not Keith who is just hoping someone, anyone, will vote with him. Not JJ either. We have to look at this from Natalie's and Baylor's POV. So why would Natalie and Baylor split the votes especially if Natalie has an HII and Baylor wins immunity? They are completely safe so they have no risks. At worst, they get Keith to vote against Jaclyn with them and, if Jon gives his HII to her then Keith goes. Natalie and Baylor are still in the game to fight against JJ at F4. You'd have Natalie giving her HII to Keith for what? To keep him safe and run the risk that she gets voted out instead? That's not smart at all. Consider that my way of doing things could get Jon voted out even if no one votes for him at first! Suppose N/B/K vote Jaclyn while JJ vote for Nat. Jon gives his HII to Jaclyn and Nat plays hers. All five votes are cancelled, something we've never seen before. How would it be resolved? Most likely all five vote again but they can only vote for either Jon and Keith. Jon gets voted out on the revote!

"Wouldn't they probably only be allowed to vote for Jac or Nat?" I was working on Georgianna's scenario where Baylor had won immunity while Jac and Nat had played HII. All votes being cancelled, I'd think those three would remain immune, leaving only Keith and Jon eligible for elimination. Do you think they'd cancel the HII to force the vote between Jac and Nat?

Natalie and Baylor are still in the game to fight against JJ at F4.Well, things are looking up. I'm being understood. So, I'll push my luck ... First: I merely inserted Baylor's name in an II slot that could just as well have been filled by Keith's. And assumed for the purpose of the argument that neither side knows how the other will vote. That said: I suggested splitting the three votes - assuming also that the HII would be played for the one of the two (of the three) who appeared to be the most likely target - because the tactic broadens the possibility - but, admittedly, does not guarantee - that one of Jaclyn or Jon would be voted out. Then. And, I think, that if Natalie played it safe only to reach the Final Four with an intact/inseparable Jaclyn and Jon - who have no reason to wish to sit beside Natalie at the Final Tribal Council - she would have won the battle and lost the (Terry Deitz ... ) war. Although, I will also admit that there is something to be said for living to fight another day. She could, I suppose, win the last II Challenge. And I do really like your concluding scenario. G

Because Jon and Jac are a pair and getting one of them out is better than none. Also, Nat will not beat Jon in a firestarting challenge and she probably knows that. If Jon is along at f4 and doesn't win immunity he's done. Keeping Jaclyn means it will go to fire. However Keith or Jon will have immunity. If he does win immunity Nat has Baylor with her and Keith will go unless Jon wants Nat out bad. Which I doubt.

LAST EDITED ON 12-04-14 AT 04:48 PM (EST)I think you are correct, Georganna. IF Missy is taken out by medical, it should be very interesting with 1 II necklace, 2 HIIs and 5 players. Unless Jon wins II again, he can only save himself or Jac with the HII. Would he play it for himself or think that the other 3 would go after Jac and try to save her? If Jon wins II, they are in a great position with at least one of them making it to F3. Question, if Missy is taken out, would we get a cycle with no TC @F6? Or will they hold the F5 TC instead and go into the finale at F4? As far as a surprising winner, the candidates seem to be Keith, Jaclyn and Baylor. Jon has been shown as very vulnerable, identified as trying to solicit sympathy votes and has definitely been shown as one a journey--to build a future with the woman he loves and to come to terms with his father's impending death and the mistakes he made in life that have kept them apart. Jon is definitely on a journey; I don't see him as the winner. It seems as though a Missy medivac would take a huge emotional toll on both Baylor and Jon. It would also impact both players' end games.

LAST EDITED ON 12-04-14 AT 05:51 PM (EST)Oops! I forgot about II! But, given the edit to date, I don't think that a Baylor (or Missy ... or Jon) win would be a 'surprise'. I do think, though, that Natalie (or Keith or Jaclyn) winning the Game would be. Note: And it suddenly occurs to me that, even without an II between the two of them, if Jon and Jaclyn play 'their' HII correctly at Final Five and Baylor, Natalie and Keith should split their vote 2 - 1, the worst thing that could happen would be that one of that three would leave the Game. ETA: In fact, unless Natalie's HII should be played correctly, there would be no advantage gained by splitting the vote 2 - 1. I think. Keith and I have a lot in common: Advancing age and a failing grasp of rudimentary math ... G

Missy and Baylor were supposed to vote for Alec so they didn't lie to Jon. It was Natalie who was told to vote against Keith but went rogue. Jon knows it,s her so that makes it even dumber that they didn't go against Jaclyn.

I thought the plan before TC was they were going to split the votes 3 for Keith (Jon/Jaclyn/Natalie) and 2 for Alec (Missy/Baylor) in case they had an idol. The ONLY one that lied and switched votes was Natalie which is why Jon, Jaclyn, Missy, and Baylor all looked so very surprised that Alec got the most votes.

LAST EDITED ON 12-04-14 AT 10:19 PM (EST)Okay, this is going to be phun to ponder! First of all, the sudden ankle injury must not end in a medivac. If Missy were medivac'd, then there would be no need for a TC...imo. She can put up with an ankle injury, more than likely. One of the biggest blindsides of the season....first of all, the biggest blindside of the season was Jeremy, bar none! Is this going to be a blindside for us, or for them....? Right now, I know that Jon is suspect. Especially after Natalie went rogue with her last vote. He verbalized that he got bad vibes before TC as well. I think he knows he's the one to beat. Regarding the title, "Let's Make a Move", clearly that's Natalie plotting, she wants Jon bad. I just can't help but feel working with Keith is the kiss of death, so I have to wonder if Natalie could be blindsided. CTGirl noted that Natalie stated last ep that she was so done with surprises at Tribal, perhaps foreshadowing her blindside...next ep she will think she will not get votes because of her HII, so she won't play it. She will think she's orchestrating the blindside, yet, Baylor who could be pissed at her going rogue and taking out Alec, her boy, could be the one aiming for her. Natalie would be a huge blindside, and it would fit with her huge confessional spike out of no where, and it would be ironic for her to go out that way, as Jeremy and Nadiya did before her...just saying'... Or, it's just Jac. Keith and Baylor: Safe

LAST EDITED ON 12-05-14 AT 04:06 PM (EST)Agree the medevac won't happen. Missy and Natalie both know that Jon has an HII, so we can assume Baylor does too. Only Missy knows about the Natalie/Baylor HII, and she'd be a fool to tell Jon now that the time has arrived for the pairs to start dismantling each other. Jon doesn't seem interested in working with Keith, since he wants Keith out. So J&J would need both Missy and Baylor to get rid of Natalie. But I can't see Baylor going for that (I think your Alec-boot rationale is way flimsy😊). More likely Missy will see that it's time to break up the other pair, so one of Jon and Jaclyn goes. We've already been primed for a Jon blindside so maybe it will be Jaclyn instead, if they are worried about the idol. Or they could all just gang up on Keith. That could constitute a big blindside in the eyes of CBS, if he's totally not expecting it. ETA - Although... Everyone has talked about how Baylor only does what Missy says. Missy might convince Baylor to vote for Natalie, so Baylor can keep the HII for herself. Hmm, I kind of like that idea...

Baylor was willing to keep Missy out of the loop for the Jon vote that didn't happen when he won immunity. I'm thinking Baylor makes the "Lets make a move" quote to Missy (after Natalie pushes Baylor to talk to her Mom & sell a Jon vote to get to start setting up F3). Missy, Baylor, Natalie & Keith could then split votes against J&J, then vote J or J out in re-vote. Of course it could just be a meaningless quote from one J to the other J!

50. "Regarding the Missy injury tease." |
The Medic says in the promo that if they have to heli Missy out for X-rays, that she will leave the game. Implying that maybe the injury isn’t severe enough for her to be pulled, and they need the X-rays to make an informed decision. FWIW, I think this something besides an ankle injury. If it’s an ankle injury (per personal experience) they don’t really need the X-rays to determine whether they would need to pull her. If she can put weight on it, even with pain, she should be OK. If there’s a broken bone in her foot or ankle, or even if she’s just stretched the ligaments, such as in a severe ankle roll, she can’t use it and would be pulled, with or without X-rays. They’ll still take them, but they wouldn’t be the determining factor. If it’s a leg injury, the need to X-ray means that there is a possibility of a cracked leg bone. It might also be a knee injury, but they hurt like hell and the joint bends differently, and you pretty much know the story right away. It’s harder to tell whether a leg bone is cracked (and she would have to be pulled) or just badly bruised (and she could painfully continue), and you would need an X-ray to know.

51. "RE: Regarding the Missy injury tease." |
An ankle injury is non-lifethreatening. I spent 6 years in high school and college working with sports injuries. They would want to X-ray an ankle injury to determine if there is a fracture or ligament damage. Sometimes a severe strain an be worse than a break, but if it is something they need to set, they would want to X-ray and do that right away before there is too much swelling. If she chooses not to have the X-ray, they could still stabilize the ankle and she could opt out of any challenges--with this F6, she will not be voted out for doing that. From personal experience, I know that you can recover from a broken ankle that is not x-rayed or set, but that it can lead to problems later on. But, for $1 Million, I'd take that risk again. With the knee you usually don't need to x-ray because you are dealing with soft tissue--cartilage and ligaments. You usually MRI knees. Medical did not pull James when he had his knee problem. He stayed until he asked to be voted out. A broken tibia would be highly painful, so she would most likely seek medical attention. IF there is a crack or a hairline fracture in a bone, it usually doesn't present immediately. There is usually pain that does not resolve with ice and heat therapy.

54. "RE: Regarding the Missy injury tease." |
Ankle Fractures (Broken Ankle) http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/topic.cfm?topic=a00391A broken ankle is also known as an ankle "fracture." This means that one or more of the bones that make up the ankle joint are broken. A fractured ankle can range from a simple break in one bone, which may not stop you from walking, to several fractures, which forces your ankle out of place and may require that you not put weight on it for a few months. CauseTwisting or rotating your ankle Rolling your ankle Tripping or falling
Impact during a car accident(Note: First 3 causes seem consistent with an injury in that Immunity Challenge and probably a mild fracture where Missy can still walk) Symptoms Because a severe ankle sprain can feel the same as a broken ankle, every ankle injury should be evaluated by a physician. Common symptoms for a broken ankle include: - Immediate and severe pain
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Tender to touch
- Cannot put any weight on the injured foot
- Deformity ("out of place"), particularly if the ankle joint is dislocated as well
(I'm assuming Missy has the first 4 Symptoms) Imaging Tests If your doctor suspects an ankle fracture, he or she will order additional tests to provide more information about your injury. X-rays. X-rays are the most common and widely available diagnostic imaging technique. X-rays can show if the bone is broken and whether there is displacement (the gap between broken bones). They can also show how many pieces of broken bone there are. X-rays may be taken of the leg, ankle, and foot to make sure nothing else is injured. (Survivor doctor is probably recommending X-ray for the above reasons but would have to pull Missy from the game to do the x-rays. Since it is not life threatening it is probably Missy's choice) Nonsurgical Treatment You may not require surgery if your ankle is stable, meaning the broken bone is not out of place or just barely out of place. A stress x-ray may be done to see if the ankle is stable. The type of treatment required may also be based on where the bone is broken. Several different methods are used for protecting the fracture while it heals. ranging from a high-top tennis shoe to a short leg cast. Some physicians let patients put weight on their leg right away, while others have them wait for 6 weeks. You will see your physician regularly to repeat your ankle x-rays to make sure the fragments of your fracture have not moved out of place during the healing process. (I'm expecting Missy will have an ankle brace of some sort or a high-top tennis shoe) Outcome Although most people return to normal daily activities, except for sports, within 3 to 4 months, studies have shown that people can still be recovering up to 2 years after their ankle fractures. It may take several months for you to stop limping while you walk, and before you can return to sports at your previous competitive level. Most people return to driving within 9 to 12 weeks from the time they were injured. --------------- (Missy photo is mid October which is 3 months after she would have been injured. Seems consistent to be all cleared for sports 3 months later if she had a mild ankle fracture which was stable.
