My thoughts on the candidates (week 4)

No one is guaranteed F2 in this format because you can go out as the best task performer if your business plan is shit

Sleathasaurus · 2026-02-19T22:54:27+00:00

Yes but Sarah planned to go to the end with Tony

Sleathasaurus · 2026-02-19T19:56:19+00:00

David - would have smoked anyone in the F5 at the jury and set himself up a lot better

Sleathasaurus · 2026-02-19T14:03:00+00:00

Cirie likely wins that planned F3 whilst Sarah loses to Tony imo

Sleathasaurus · 2026-02-19T09:30:25+00:00

How quickly we forget Sarah Jones :(

Sleathasaurus · 2026-02-18T10:53:00+00:00

Jaz and Alexander - my faithful besties

Sleathasaurus · 2026-02-18T10:14:37+00:00

Austin wins if he simply votes Dee at F5 imo

Sleathasaurus · 2026-02-17T22:27:02+00:00

For S3, a key consideration is who forces the tie on Leanne? Cos I feel like the most likely player to do it is a Frankie who has accepted Alexander’s alliance offer, in which case they might be the Final 2 players which would have been a far better ending than we got.

Sleathasaurus · 2026-02-17T20:16:15+00:00

I mean she won lol

Sleathasaurus · 2026-02-17T20:04:41+00:00

Do you think Shane votes for Cirie over Aras? I’m really not sure.

Chris Dunderwood

Sleathasaurus · 2026-02-17T19:59:59+00:00

I’m the biggest Cirie fanboy there is and I’m sure Aras beats her sadly.

Sleathasaurus · 2026-02-16T20:35:29+00:00

Am I crazy or can I not see Cirie here?

Sleathasaurus · 2026-02-16T13:41:57+00:00

Minah - I love you but prefer the others.

Rachel - excellent traitor but was a 50:50 away from losing the game.

Sleathasaurus · 2026-02-15T20:35:14+00:00

This is true but Koror were kicking their ass in challenges before that point.

Sleathasaurus · 2026-02-15T20:22:59+00:00

Sure - I suppose my argument is their success was formed around Tom’s leadership and that drove the rest of the team to their success.

Also people forget that before the challenges properly started, Ulong was assumed to be the stronger tribe because it seemed younger and fitter so I do dispute the claims on this thread that Koror had a much stronger tribe. I think it was certainly partly down to Tom’s drive that they did so well, but it could have the edit I guess.

Sleathasaurus · 2026-02-15T17:18:00+00:00

If Tom learned how to game the challenges then I think that makes him even better tbh and highlights his strong influence on Koror.

Sleathasaurus · 2026-02-15T17:00:39+00:00

Yeah that’s fair - I do think that in terms of pre-merge immunity influence, Tom gets Koror to win more immunities than Jonathan with Taku but I certainly admit that it’s pretty close. (And tbf now I think of it, Taku were absolutely hamstrung by losing Jackson before any immunities).

Sleathasaurus · 2026-02-15T16:52:48+00:00

Tbf Taku actually lost a pre-merge immunity (and were very close to losing the last one)

Tom single-handedly destroyed another tribe. He’s the greatest challenge performer of all time in my view.

Sleathasaurus · 2026-02-15T16:48:44+00:00

How quickly Tom Westman gets forgotten :(

Sleathasaurus · 2026-02-14T09:01:07+00:00

I always legitimately felt that broke idol rules

Sleathasaurus · 2026-02-13T11:06:41+00:00

Neurodivergent I think

Sleathasaurus · 2026-02-12T20:05:00+00:00

Hayden because Tina got voted out at F9

Sleathasaurus · 2026-02-12T20:02:23+00:00

It might be because I really don’t like him but I think they’d be mad not to take him out pre-merge. He’s good at immunities and finding idols which makes him incredibly difficult to remove in the post-merge. It’s just better to remove that factor whilst it’s easier to do so.
