It's likely just my personal bias showing, but I was happy to see Adam blow it at Tribal and get sent off. I thought his gameplay was less impressive during his season, and this season among the all-stars he's been a paranoid mess. I actually started to worry someone might carry him along to the final tribal because he seemed so unliked/distrusted by the others, but I agree with you Jason, now that he's at Exile I don't see much of a path back. (And I'm not particularly sad about that.)
Does anyone think it's interested how Kim is flying below the radar? When everyone was like, "all the old-school players are gone," Kim was standing right there. She's had such a small edit to date, I wonder if she goes far.
Well, three years ago Dalton Ross picked her as the best winner ever. It's a great question - if I had to pick, I think I'd go with Yul, Tony, and Tom - in that order. Maybe Kim ahead of Tom. Despite Dalton's rules, part of my choice is based on the fact that they all won in their first try. I think the best player of all may have been Terry - and he got very screwed by an unfair final immunity challenge.
This season has been amazing. They needed it because I didn't watch the last season and after talking to friends didn't feel the need to go back and do so. The fire tokens are a great addition even though I was skeptical at the start. The post immunity challenge scramble this week was awesome. It's hard to tell who is control of the game and it feels like anyone could win at this point - and maybe even be worthy. It feels like Denise might be able to fly under the radar enough and "middle" her way to the end even though she had the epic Sandra ouster. If only she had kept the second idol, but it was the right move at the time. How many people go home with idols in their bag? I am surprised Tyson has lasted this long after re-entering the game. I wouldn't be surprised to see him go this week - and maybe buy Nick one more tribal council.
