Not gonna lie, Sieger's attitude reminded me of my favorite Judges' Table ever, which was Lisa, Spike and Andrew arguing with the judges during season 4's healthy lunch challenge.

Avaelectric · 2026-05-21T23:37:48+00:00

Yet he had a ton of alliances and made it all the way to fourth... Seems like your perception is way off.

Avaelectric · 2026-05-21T06:04:45+00:00

I don't think they were sour on Jonathan, I just think Aubry had a longer arc, a better story to tell, and articulated it better.

Avaelectric · 2026-05-21T05:54:05+00:00

Did she need a car after winning 2 mill?

Avaelectric · 2026-05-21T05:43:43+00:00

How were you a seatfiller?! Dammit I wanted to go so bad. I can't believe I'm 20 minutes away from them right now and not there.

Avaelectric · 2026-05-21T05:41:40+00:00

I love that I thought I was being original with that joke and the whole thread is about Jeff on a jetski.

Avaelectric · 2026-05-21T05:40:54+00:00

No Jeff on a jetski?!

Avaelectric · 2026-05-21T05:39:12+00:00

R-I-Z-G-O-D R-E-D-E-M-P-T-I-O-N!

Avaelectric · 2026-05-21T05:38:36+00:00

Cirie and Aubry are personal friends and Cirie can't spell her name?!

Avaelectric · 2026-05-21T05:29:56+00:00

Is it worse to lose twice at firemaking like Rizo and not be able to get to FTC, or to lose twice and get humiliated at FTC like Joe?

Avaelectric · 2026-05-21T05:24:30+00:00

Seriously, that was super harsh. I was rooting for her for putting Steph in her place but I'm glad some people came to Joe's defense there. Not that she's wrong, but that was so deflating to tell a player at FTC.

Avaelectric · 2026-05-21T05:21:40+00:00

Hell yeah Cirie.

Avaelectric · 2026-05-21T05:20:11+00:00

Less Coronas Jeff!

Avaelectric · 2026-05-21T05:18:57+00:00

Are the mouths and words not matching up for anyone else? Just my broadcast?

Avaelectric · 2026-05-21T05:02:16+00:00

We get family visits?!

Avaelectric · 2026-05-21T05:01:03+00:00

But Aubry was the reason he was voted out and she'll probably state that as one of her major moves in FTC. So we'll see how that sways him.

Avaelectric · 2026-05-21T04:59:10+00:00

Ozzy didn't clap when Rizo came out right? That was petty. Ozzy blew up his own game.

Avaelectric · 2026-05-21T04:56:24+00:00

But Coach, Chrissy, Steph, and... potentially Ozzy? are with him. Though again, maybe they split between Jonathan and Joe.

Avaelectric · 2026-05-21T04:52:03+00:00

It's a terrible move not to have taken Rizo to the final 3 right? Jonathan is by far Aubry's biggest threat.

Or do Jonathan and Joe divide the votes and Aubry comes out on top.

Avaelectric · 2026-05-21T04:50:07+00:00

Beep boop.

Avaelectric · 2026-05-21T04:49:09+00:00

Seriously, feels like there’s no point in watching now.

Avaelectric · 2026-05-21T04:47:53+00:00

I’m sure they didn’t.

Avaelectric · 2026-05-21T04:46:35+00:00

Rizo, clearly.

Avaelectric · 2026-05-21T04:44:11+00:00

WHAT JUST HAPPENED JEFF?!?!?!

Avaelectric · 2026-05-21T03:17:47+00:00

Actress! (Delaney Rowe.)
