It was nice to get a glimpse into the dynamics of tribes besides Brawn. Beauty really seems united & that all-female alliance seems rock solid... though who knows how it will hold up with a tribe switcheroo. Caleb & Tai are the cutest couple ever! And my favorite part of the episode was when Ben said "this Nick guy is a robot" literally moments before Nick said "some people say I'm like a robot." I would not be sad to see him go!
Brains tribe is a scheming snake pit as it turns out. Liz & Peter were extremely disappointing in their self-congratulatory "masterminding" of the game. Really, anyone who wants to vote people out of their own tribe after being in the game for less than a week deserves to go home. Debbie is proving to be more of a player than we all thought. I dislike Joe, though that might not be merited. I'm cheering for Neal, Debbie, and Aubry though!
The Teams:
Some team names are still needed!
Bagdrea "Beautiful Mind" - 37 points
- Caleb (10 pts)
- Tai (15 pts)
- Nick (10 pts)
- Joe (2 pts)
- Anna (9 pts)
- Jason (8 pts)
- Peter (3 pts)
- Debbie (2 pts)
- Neal (3 pts)
- Julia (9 pts)
- Scot (3 pts)
- Aubry (2 pts)
- Liz (-2 pts)
- Jenny (-6 pts)
- Michele (9 pts)
- Cydney (3 pts)
Dreg: Alecia - 3 points
Power Rankings:
1. Beautiful Mind: Last week I said this pool was wide open. Now I'm thinking this might be a runaway from Bagdrea unless one of their key players gets medevacked. Tai had an idol, Caleb is in a good spot, Joe is too. Even if they lose their robot next week they are going to be tough to beat!
2. MoonBee: Turns out that Neal/Aubry is definitely superior to Peter/Debbie! I still have my doubts about Scot, but otherwise I like this team.
3. Michal & Ben: Yikes, who could have predicted that Debbie would be the mastermind of the Brains tribe? That may say more about the rest of the tribe rather than Debbie though.... We got really lucky that Peter wasn't voted out last episode. I hope he's learned a lesson & reins in the arrogance, but that's probably just wishful thinking.
4. Doug & Bri: Liz really was the bigger threat over Peter, but considering how obnoxious he was during tribal I'm a little surprised they didn't change their minds. Doug & Bri's best bet at making a mark this season is to oust me from the "lowest score recorded" category.
Douche of the Week:
Peter!

Peter's lack of social awareness was incredible and DoW-worthy! Even though he is on our team, I wouldn't personally be sad to see Nick go.
Peter for DOW for sure! Shocking to hear such arrogance from a doctor! ;-)
I thought this was a fun episode as far as watching the machinations at the Brains camp. It felt like no one on that tribe was what we viewers had been led to believe.
It's hard to believe that Alecia and Deb are still in the game....
I like the comment by Ben about Nick being a robot, but my reaction to him was - psychopath. This thought came right after the comment, "You don't have to have any emotions out here, you just have to pretend that you do." But then again, I suspect true psychos are much skilled at it and have a less robotic smile!
Brutalization. We could definitely be in the running for that "lowest score ever" spot. The confidence I saw in Liz and Jenny turned out to be super over confidence. Both talked their way right into a vote. It was hard for me to decide if Peter or Liz should be going home, but it was fun watching their faces as they saw the tides turning.
Hopefully our other 2 ladies lay low and keep their mouths shut so we can hang in this for a few more weeks.
Peter is worthy of DoW, but I'm throwing my vote to Jason for his idol retrieving strategy. Against a stronger player than Alecia, there probably would have been a fist fight. He is also going to have a huge target on him once the tribes flip. I thought Cydney played that situation well. She still has trust from both sides and doesn't have a target on her.
We're having a hard time choosing a name since most of our players haven't done or said anything yet... BUT we will choose the name "Dairy Kings". Dairy in honor of Neil's ice cream business and Kings in honor of Scot's basketball heritage.
Also, DoW is an obvious Peter. Ugh, arrogant doctors makes my PTSD flare up from my early nursing days...
We are modifying our team name to 'Cock of the Walk'.
Peter is Dow based on his absurd comments and also for starting every response to a question at tribal with, "Oh yeah, absolutely".
Kyle the Jason was also super douchey stealing the idol.
Our fighter pilot, chemist, ninja, Red Lobster server is a fun/annoying douche and also likely a super hero.
Our team is filled with douches.
Maybe we should name ourselves Walk Like a Drewche.
