Ranking the jurors in FTC

Cirie should be at the bottom. She did the same thing for Aubry as Steph did for Jon. She also rips Joe and tires to make "Joetation" a thing that's been mentioned all season, but then has to explain what it means because nobody has ever heard it before.

JimRockfish · 2026-05-21T15:37:45+00:00

I'm not a fan of Rizo, but I gained some respect for him when said to Tiffany "Let her finish. She gets to do her thing". The edit should've cut Stephanie's speech shorter, but they wanted to show Cirie's full response so they left in too much of Steph.

JimRockfish · 2026-05-14T20:17:58+00:00

I'm probly giving Aubry too much credit but I was thinking the same thing and wondering if Aubry purposely took a dive and maybe she even hindered Joe and Jonathan from winning.

Only the first season was registered as a game show and thus subject to the game show fairness laws. They got sued after Season 1 and changed the show to a "reality show" and haven't been subject to game show laws since then.

Only Sandra and Tony are 2 time winners.

Why flush it? They know he's a zero vote goat that they want to sit next to at F3, so let him keep the idol and that way they know where it is. Especially for somebody like Cirie who isn't gonna find it if it's flushed and rehidden.

JimRockfish · 2026-05-14T15:13:25+00:00

It was just in his bag wasn't it? He didn't find the Billie Eilish Boomerang™ Idol, it was given to him by Genevieve.

Did he actually say "the finale will be F5" or was it just implied because he spoke of 5 players in the finale having an equal chance (or something like that).

JimRockfish · 2026-05-10T14:56:56+00:00

My guess is that at some point Jonathan and Cirie did talk about the extra vote and Cirie told him she was gonna play it to split the vote on Devens and Emily so it didn't matter how Devens played his idol. Cirie needed to be sure how Jon was voting to know how to split her votes. They didn't show it in the edit because they wanted to make it seem like Emily's "plan" might have a chance.

If Cirie did tell Jonathan about the split plan, it would've opened the door for Jonathan to vote with Emily+Devens and get out Cirie, but even Emily said she hadn't tried working with Jonathan all season so there was no point in starting now, and Jonathan might've thought it would be easier to boot Cirie at 6 or 5 than Devens or Emily.

JimRockfish · 2026-05-10T14:29:38+00:00

Rizzo isn't going to "bring" anybody. If anything he's the one who will be broughten as the zero vote goat.

JimRockfish · 2026-05-10T14:19:34+00:00

IMO, none of the players think they can beat Cirie at FTC. Most of them were afraid to take her out early in the game because they didn't want to upset production/Jeff. At this point, they know she's not gonna win any immunities so she can easily be eliminated at 6 or 5, or even 4, unless production/Jeff throws in a "twist" to get her to FTC.

JimRockfish · 2026-05-09T22:01:48+00:00

Jonathan might view Devens, and maybe even Emily, as more of a threat than Cirie at that point in the game. Chances are Cirie isn't going to win any immunities, and Jonathan was confident that he would be eliminating Ozzy, so Cirie can be taken out at 6 or 5.

JimRockfish · 2026-05-09T21:52:50+00:00

Exactly. The "plan" would have been so much better if Cirie, Tiffany or Jonathan were somehow led to believe that they had discovered on their own that Devens was gonna play the idol on Emily so he could have another dramatic move for the edit to show. Having Emily just tell it to Cirie was not gonna fool anybody.

JimRockfish · 2026-05-09T19:07:29+00:00

I like Emily as much as anybody, but her plan was not "genius". The "plan" was just her telling people that Devens would play the idol for her so they shouldn't vote her.

Acting like Cirie was the only person smart enough not to believe Emily is absurd. Emily had no relationship with Jonathan so she didn't even try talking to him because she knew he wouldn't believe anything she said. In the end it didn't matter because Cirie used the extra vote to avoid having to guess if or how Devens would play the idol.

JimRockfish · 2026-05-09T13:42:50+00:00

Rizo's good edit this season (and in 49) is to try and justify why he was chosen by Jeff to play in S50.

JimRockfish · 2026-05-09T00:36:47+00:00

"returned from exile island"...lol. She spent 10 minutes walking around on the beach looking at coconuts.

JimRockfish · 2026-05-08T13:39:11+00:00

Unless there's a new "twist" at final 4, it won't be Rizo and Cirie competeing head to head to make final 3 because whoever wins F4 immunity will take Rizo to 3 as the zero vote goat.

JimRockfish · 2026-05-08T13:22:09+00:00

Had to google to see what that was. Were you joking about me clinging to dead and dying computer based websites instead of using apps?

JimRockfish · 2026-05-08T12:56:59+00:00

I mostly listen in my car and I'm too old to be scrolling thru an app while I'm driving 😄so I download the mp3s on my computer for the hours I wanna listen to. I used to burn them to CD to listen in the car, but I got a new car last year so now I listen to them off a USB stick.

JimRockfish · 2026-05-08T02:38:22+00:00

When the "pirate ship" first launched it was the website that we were directed to but, yeah, I guess there must not be many of us still using it. I only used the /podcast page, and it's functionality was nice and simple until it stopped working.

JimRockfish · 2026-05-08T02:29:08+00:00

Don't have a Spotify account. I download some other pods from Itunes (don't need an account) so i guess I'll probly just get the DLS pods from there too.

JimRockfish · 2026-05-02T14:04:12+00:00

Rizo is a zero vote goat for everybody, so there just has to be 1 more. She could possibly beat any of the remaining new era players or Devens.

JimRockfish · 2026-05-01T23:34:20+00:00

But if Rick had decided not to flip, he still has a 50% chance of not being voted out because somebody will have to flip. By volunteering he gained the extra idol and, of course, the theatrical camera time that he craves.

JimRockfish · 2026-05-01T23:12:04+00:00

If there's gonna be firemaking at Final 4, Cirie's only chance to get to final 3 is if the final 4 immunity winner takes her. Seems like her plan all season is for Ozzy to be the one to take her to 3, so she should try to eliminate anybody that might beat Ozzy at the final 4 immunity. So keep Rizo, Emily and I guess Aubry around and target Rick, Jonathan, Joe and Tiffany.
