Bit gutted to see Ozzy go already, even though he doesn't appear to do any strategizing so I don't think he could win anyway. Debbie being the one to come up with that plan and even using the double vote to ensure it happened was a bit out there. Those sorts of plays are great because even if you don't like Debbie (I don't) you can't disagree that she has influenced the game. If she somehow gets to the final at least she made moves on her way, unlike Ozzy.
Zeke is definitely playing too hard. I don't see how he can get to the final now. He was already a huge target after the Verner reveal and then he goes and starts betraying everyone.
Tai has to be a strong favourite even without his TWO idols. Something has to go seriously wrong for him not to get to the final.
I can’t put my finger on why but I felt this double episode was a little lacklustre, it’s kind of how I’ve felt about the entire season so far to be honest. I think it’s at least partially down to all the best characters and players being booted early on and post-merge we’re left largely with some rather uninteresting/annoying players. The Ozzy boot encapsulated this sense of fatigue because of the way it came about. Debbie suggested it, we aren’t shown if there was a reason behind it, and the majority went along with it. Despite there being 11 players left there’s only about 3 that are interesting (Brad, Cirie and Zeke), 3 that are just straight up annoying (Sierra, Debbie and Tai), Aubry is good but is not getting any screen time and the rest I don’t care about. Some other random notes:
-Tai won’t get to the end in this season because he isn’t cut-throat enough.
-Nice to finally see Cirie get her breakout episode this season, long may it continue.
-Interesting to see that the other players see Sierra as the Alpha in the Sierra/Brad relationship whereas we the viewers have been shown it the other way around.
