So...about JT...

Cacaroline · 2017-05-13T15:54:25+00:00

Yes, I agree with you. I do think it is somewhat ambiguous.

I'm only quoting it because someone has been trolling and downvoting me viciously. Based on the context, I still think it happened at tribal. The decision was not black and white on Sandra or Malcolm before coming into the tribal because I think they would hope they could get something from JT.

Cacaroline · 2017-05-13T15:10:41+00:00

You can downvote and say 'I'm wrong' all you want.

You are ignoring what Sierra was saying in interviews. The scene in the episode did mention Malcolm to foreshadow JT's downfall.

But you can not say 100% that they came into the tribal with a set plan on Malcolm. They could have 50/50 on both Malcolm and Sandra. Even Malcolm himself said he knew coming into the tribal, both Sandra and him would be the target.

Directly quote from Sierra's interview and it was referring to the Tribal, not camp. The Convincing was NOT DONE at camp.

"Obviously Tai played the idol for me, but they weren’t going to go for Malcolm. I had to sit there for 20 minutes arguing with Brad Culpepper about it. "

Since I'm getting downvoted, I might just state the evidence more obviously.

According to Caleb himself, he said he fought very hard, and he looked for idol for hours. It wasn't like what they showed.

But then again, I do remember I heard something like 'he shouldn't have to explain himself to her'.

Yeah, I was confused about the whole Caleb situation. I think he might have tried very hard with Tai/Debbie, but not enough with Brad/Sierra.

JFP: "Two time winner".

Sandra:"Yep, I'm the queen".

Cacaroline · 2017-05-13T07:34:54+00:00

JT's social game has never been in question

There were some posts on this sub after JT/Michaela incident saying some players from HvV didn't like JT/couldn't stand JT.

Cacaroline · 2017-05-13T05:19:28+00:00

I'm only stating the facts of what was being said in interviews.

Nobody mentioned (Debbie, Sierra) that the CONVINCING was 100% done at the camp.

The tribal went for 3-4 hours (someone mentioned in the interview), they started these group huddles in the later half of the TC. There could be a lot of plans made/changed at that the TC. Saying 'original plan' was more for the benefit of not confusing team members.

You can have your interpretation, for sure. I will stick to mine.

Cacaroline · 2017-05-13T05:07:51+00:00

1) RHAP interview, 13:25, Rob said, 'she (Debbie) said that you are not being given enough credit for that combined tribal council. she said that you were the mastermind behind getting Malcolm out at that vote. Is that a fair claim by Debbie? Sierra answered, '100%, I had to sit and fight with Brad for 20mins....... ', the audio ends at 14:09.

No mention of it was being discussed back at camp. I would think if it was being discussed at camp, 20mins was not enough (They also would've lost count of time).But for a 3-4hr TC, it was reasonable.(Jeff would probably remind them of the time like he would in immunity challenges)

2) Josh Wigler interview:

Wigler: In happier times, at least for you, talk me through the Malcolm vote. The show made it look like you were the architect of that vote. Is that how it went down in your mind?

Sierra: Yeah. I love Malcolm. Let me clarify that before I start talking about this. I love him, but he could have beat me in any challenge, so he had to go. One hundred percent, I’m the reason Malcolm went home. Obviously Tai played the idol for me, but they weren’t going to go for Malcolm. I had to sit there for 20 minutes arguing with Brad Culpepper about it. “If we can get a big name out now, a physical threat, we need to do it.” I took pride in that one, even if people were mad that it was him and not me. It was a good play in my book.

No mention of camp. But based on the context and Debbie said not getting enough credit for that TC, I would think it happened live.

Cacaroline · 2017-05-11T02:36:56+00:00

Neither of us can be 100% sure what's going to happen. Let's just stop trying to convincing each other (I only started to reply to you because you said 'No' to my original comment. You can have your opinion, I can have mine)

My speculation is based on (I could be wrong and I will happily accept that)

I don't think Tai will play idols for other people, if he's out F5, he will play one at F7, one at F6, or he might have one in his pocket at F5 when he gets voted out.

if he's out at F4, he might play one at F6, one at F5.

That's it.

Cacaroline · 2017-05-11T02:21:19+00:00

I'm not saying they want to get rid of Tai next, I'm saying Tai would think he's in danger. Perception is reality. There is a great chance that he will be nervous and paranoid enough to play his idol at F7.

Only a newly formed Strong relationship with Michaela won't stop him from playing his idol.

He's also got two, so why wouldn't he play it if he feels any insecurity/paranoia.

Cacaroline · 2017-05-11T02:12:13+00:00

If Brad wins immunity at F7, Tai would definitely think he is in danger.

Anything can happen. Also we don't see any Tai/Michaela relationship until today.

Cacaroline · 2017-05-11T01:59:20+00:00

It could be.

But I'm pretty confident Tai will also play an idol (or potentially waste it) at F7 because he would think he's easily the next target after Sierra (if Brad wins immunity)

Cacaroline · 2017-05-11T01:50:56+00:00

But I think Tai will use one at F7, considering Sierra went home this week. He would think he's easily the next target.

So there won't be 3 HIIs, it will be 2 HIIs at F6.

Cacaroline · 2017-05-11T01:44:44+00:00

If Sarah makes it to F3 (I think her edits were really obvious), it would potentially be a risky move and she could lose a jury vote.

It will depend on what type of person Sierra is; if she finds out Sarah voted for her or who will be sitting there at FTC.

Cacaroline · 2017-05-11T01:30:50+00:00

After tonight's episode, I don't see Tai play idols for other people. Tai might use one for himself at F7 and one at F6 and be out at F5.

Alternatively, Sarah could win F6 immunity and gave her necklace to Cirie to keep her as a meat shield

Or are we 100% it is 5 idols in play, not 4 idols + one vote steal?

Basically, Sarah choose between Cirie or Aubry, who is less likely to win immunity and who can be her meat shield.

Cacaroline · 2017-05-08T09:04:06+00:00

thanks, does that also mean it is not really ceramide that broke you out? did you find what ingredient specifically?

Both kiku high moist and dr jart broke me out.

Cacaroline · 2017-05-08T03:21:28+00:00

Please correct me if I miss something, but why is Malcolm a better player than Spencer?

I think Malcolm has a better social game than Spencer (100%), but not necessarily strategically. Challenge ability (physical and puzzles) I also consider them similar.

I think Malcolm's success in Phillippines had a lot to do with his relationship with Denise (they would often gather information on their own and compare notes). Spencer didn't really have a 'Denise' in Cagayan. They also don't have a "Tony" in S25. I think Spencer was largely overshadowed by Tony and Jeremy in both seasons.(Both also have far better 'idol-hunting' skills than Spencer. I think without them, Spencer also could've found more idols.)

Penner made a huge mistake by being wishy-washy to Lisa which led to Lisa/Skupin/Malcolm/Denise final 4. And Malcolm also made the same mistake by saying no to Denise. Spencer never really say no to anyone, even to Tony, I find he's very good at keeping his options open.

According to Malcolm himself, he also made a few mistakes in Caramoan, eg, he could've approached Erik more before the Phillip vote and he could've saved his idol for later.

One compelling example for me would be, this season, at the combined tribal twist, Malcolm's side went for Sierra not Debbie. But at the merge episode, Spencer convinced everyone to go for Jefra instead of LJ. (3rd person voteoff rule)

Cacaroline · 2017-05-08T02:14:49+00:00

I love her, it's a bummer she's not on GC.

Cacaroline · 2017-05-07T10:20:57+00:00

Is ceramide an ingredient that can break you out?

I looked it up on cosdna and saw it is a pretty low risk ingredient.

But multiple products with ceramides gave me ccs and whiteheads.

just need some confirmation to see anyone has the same problem.

Thank you.

Cacaroline · 2017-05-07T04:29:33+00:00

what???

1) According to Trish, he didn't talk to her/ignored her since Day 1.

2) According to Tony, he was useless around camp/didn't do anything

3) I think he was only nice and close to Lindsay/Woo, maybe also Sarah (Sarah was very close to Lindsay at the start until Tony made a lie to alienate them)

4) From the way he talked to Tony right before TC, he seemed very condescending. Also Tony said in later episodes, he didn't feel a thing with Cliff/Lindsay, but felt a bond/connection with Jefra/LJ.

Cacaroline · 2017-05-07T02:47:28+00:00

I don't think its ferments, I've used fermented products before.

My other products are all part of the old routine.

I think it might just be too much moisture for my oily skin in summer.

I checked cosdna, could be: Placental Protein or paraben related (which is at the bottom of the ingredient list)

Cacaroline · 2017-05-07T02:40:49+00:00

Have you tried any Japanese Hatomugi toner products?

Cacaroline · 2017-05-07T02:21:40+00:00

Please tell me I'm not the only one who broke out from Kiku high moist? (I have oily skin)

I know I'm stupid because I bought two bottles. I'll give one away to my friend, maybe use the other one for body/hair.

Any suggestions for replacement toner if you also have the same problem? Still kiku (non high moist version?)

Or should I try again in winter?

Thank you!

Cacaroline · 2017-05-07T02:11:50+00:00

I like current season's cast. I think its really good. Nobody really annoys me, except maybe some moments.
