What I will say is this: Shane and Jennifer will both make the merge, losing their loved ones early is going to really help their games.
Trevor will win this season, and I love his confessionals.
Speaking of loving confessionals: #GoRosie #GoAndrew Hassan is interesting to watch, I like him as a fan of the show, but his eventual epic blindside will be even more fun to watch.
All of the young people: mikey catrina arielle whoever else, won't make the finals. Not enough up in the brain department.
I don't really know what to say about other people other than: Maranda is back from Russia and got Constance out, which was probably the best thing for her game AND Tierra please play heartless and fuck shit up

CONFESSIONAL BREAKDOWN:
Andrew - Wants to target those "making waves" (mentioned Hassan and Joanne), I'm gonna see if he follows through with that. Doesn't want to be with Rosie which is understandable, he wishes not to be a target. Weary about a possible returnees alliance, might be some truth in that statement. "Poop in the ocean" - Uhhhh yeah, TURN OFF!
Dan - Okay, he is sounding disrespectful right about now. This is a Survivor game, there WILL be twists - I thought you knew that coming into iS. Still looking out for Maranda which I suppose is nice, but she can't stand you for the time being.
Davis - Inserting himself into different alliances, which could be messy if him and Tierra aren't well-informed. I do like that he's feeling out the competition at this stage, but I worry that if he makes too many deals that it could bite him in the ass.
Hassan - Boy you are messing yourself up big time. No surprise to see no showmance between him and Jen. He's already become an early target, and isn't rectifying his relationship with his blood partner. I like the character thing going on, but if you don't have the game to back that up and keep it around, you're basically a sitting duck.
Jennifer - I'm glad she is here to stay, this is her chance to prove herself as a player. Not a lot of information coming out from her, other than she's burnt bridges with Hassan. Might be beneficial to her, might not be. Just gotta wait and see. UPDATE: It seems that she messed up big time with the tribe selection according to Shane by picking existing pairs. That kind of strategy can be both dangerous but beneficial at the same time, especially if they're pairs who have already formed an alliance of sorts that can easily dispose of her - or on the flipside, use her as a number.
LeBlanc - I feel sorry for him, that Hassan isn't paying attention to him. At least he reminds us that this is a game you entered in with someone else - something that Hassan has failed to realise. Wants to build a bond with Andrew/Rosie. I hope they give him a chance, but he does need to put himself out there more. I sense him getting the Diva edit!
Rosie - Becoming increasingly likeable in the PW chat, and I can see why! She seems probably the most relatable out of any of the contestants so far, and she can't trust her boyfriend. She's in a great spot at the moment with everybody, they seem to like her for the most part. OMG That confessional KILLED ME. I AM A FAN!!
Shane - I've always been the type to run my mouth when I have a lot to say, so I take it that he's the same. Especially in moments of frustration (Tierra's "Hating Ass Bitches" confessional in Tibet anyone?) Anyway, he looks ready to come after all of them bitches! Wants Scarola and Mikey gone, so I hope he gets his revenge.
Tierra - She's right about being in a good position during Day 1, considering that she had connections ready. LOL @ how she thought she knew Davis, OMG that cracks me up. I hope that playing this game with Davis won't add a bigger target on her back, so hopefully if they split during tribe swap then they could both develop their own games this season since they are so different!
Trevor - Oh boy, he gets bored easily. But I can see why, he wants to start playing the game already which is great. Maybe build some bonds in your free time, with or without Joanne.

I did NOT know we were supposed to post here too. Well shit hahaha.
Quick thoughts - Andrew and Rosie are probably my favorite pair and quite possibly my 2 favorite individuals as well. I think they're both super dedicated to the game, smart players, and really interesting.
With the way the tribes shook out, I think dD/Tierra/Adam Hassan/LeBlanc for sure and possibly Andrew/Rosie with them as well, will form a couples power alliance. They'd be stupid not to to be honest. That would give them 6 which is majority and could probably bring them all the way to merge. What would that mean for everyone else? I lose a fantasy pick in O'Henry and we lose wine confessionals from Chris. WHOMP WHOMP. I'd be super sad to see that happen, but I would be SO excited to see these 3 pairs hook up and make a power alliance. channels my inner ESPN and sends messages to all of them to make this shit happen.
The other tribe? Kind of a snore fest!!! I mean there are a couple of my favorites over there, but I really don't see that tribe doing as well. But who knows!

I love Rosie, i think she's likable enough to have a great social game that can make her get far into the game. She isn't over playing it and just taking it a day at a time and just basically having fun with it so she may not come across threatening.
Adam and his partner really need to get on the same page in the game if they want to do this together... Adam gotta chill with the messy game if he can't cover his shit because people are already questioning his pre-game posts and now Jennifer told everyone Adam threw them under the bus.
Chris Brown mentioned how he is close to Andrew/Rosie- piggybacks to what i just said... It's easy to gravitate towards them because they are likable so let's see how they work with that.

Okay so lets take a look at the tribes
Gallarus: I dont know if it was really that smart to choose three pairs and then Tierra/David and Hassan/LeBlanc. Those 4 are gonna work together for sure. I also see those 4 working with Rosie and Andrew and probably Joanne too so that could be the majority. I think Chris should be fine in this tribe since he has some connection with Tierra for example. I think O'Henry, Mary Beth and Jennifer could be the first targets here. People wanted to vote O'Henry and Ty already in the first vote so why not again? Mary Beth seems as Afk as Josh to be honest and i dont see her having any tight bonds with anyone and Jennifer... I dont know. Hassan wanted to work with her but looks like she threw him under the bus so Im not sure whose support she has right now. I am slo a bit worried about Joanne because people think she is a bit bossy and loud and tries to take the leader role and I just hope that doesnt come back to bite her sooner or later.
Túath: Here we have Mikey and Carina as a pair probably working with Arielle since they made an alliance on day 1. Then we have Dan and Maranda (im not a fan of those 2) who will maybe work with Shane – at least Maranda since Shane said he trusts her. I could see Scarola and Trevor teaming up since they are both seperated from their partner and their main alliance because Trevor wanted alliances with Tierra/Davud/Rosie/Andrew who are all on the other tribe. I hope Josh and Eddie get their work done now that they are both there and I really hope they dont get voted out. I would love to see Trevor/Scarola/Ty/Eddie/Josh to team up maybe with Mikey and Carina too and that they all go after Shane since his targets are Eddie/Josh and Carina/Mikey.
Looking at the tribes I 100% think that Gallarus will be much stronger in competitions because they have some good competitors on their side. But you never know. And now after Gallarus won Immunity I think Eddie/Josh could be in danger but I also think Shane is not that safe and I really hope Eddie and Josh make a miracle happen and get Shane out next because his additude after Sydney was gone is very childish and i cant take any more 15 minutes confessionals of him.

Alright - so I get back and we have tribes... and I am still mixed on how I feel about them!
I like the #TribeJennifer because it has majority of my people on it that I am rooting for, with a good shot at having healthy alliances. Davis, Tierra, Jo, Marybeth, Hassan, LeBlanc... they could easily control the vote over there. I think that will be one side of the tribe with Andrew leading the other side... 6 v.s. 5... can the underdogs get someone to flip? could be interesting...
#TeamShane I do not like... I do not like it because Trevor is over there by himself. well, really just away from the people I want him with. I think he will do ok over there though. Once again, you find yourself in a situation where you have 6 people( 3 pairs ) v.s. 5 individuals. Will the pairs pick off the lonely love ones? Maybe this is what Ty is up to. Maybe Ty has this plan to utilize the exile island twist to blindside someone? If he tells everyone he wants out, they all vote for him... then he tells like 1 or 2 people that he's taking exile and they vote for say Dan... all the Ty votes are cancelled and Dan goes home... or maybe I am giving Ty too much credit?!?!?!
I think Mikey is giving himself a little too much credit to with his "I make people say Ty's name so I don't have to say it" but when Ty is the only one who got a 0 for the tribe, I think its clear what ur saying when you talk about people sucking and causing you to lose. I don't know.

Well Josh is gone now. #RipMyTeam
Makes sense though because he wasnt around as much but I thought he was absolutely going to dominate at the beginning

Are Dan and Miranda always naked? Why does she not want to work with Dan? Dumb move in my opinion. You can't cut out an ally. Even if you don't want them you have to keep every single person you can trust. Plus I really like Dan.
I love that Ari seems safe in the middle of that tribe. I know Chris taught her well but being able to execute strategy takes some brains. Love her already.
I guess I haven't watched all of that tribe. I got bored listening to the dick sword fighting between the guys in Tuath.
I am in love with Andrew and Rosie. I am so happy Chris is in with them!
