So I don't know if anyone else watched Taylor Street's 23 minute confessional (-_-) but I did make it through the whole thing, and while most of it bored me, one thing really stood out for me. I guess he took Sassy aside in a skype call and asked her, "What's your biggest fear in this game?" hoping that she would open up to him and they could bond.
Her answer: "Coming in 30th place."
But Taylor didn't give up. He then told her that his biggest fear was going on all the skype calls, because it's so different from his seasons and he's shy, and that in group calls he wouldn't talk as much and would become on the outs. Then, she admitted that she felt the same way. And this response from Sassy was what Taylor was trying to get out of her! I think it was just so brilliant of Taylor how he knew how she felt and got her to admit it and open up to him. It was just a really good way to use strategic self-disclosure. I think that was a brilliant subtle move both socially and strategically.

Can someone remind Taylor Street that nobody wants to watch him blab for 23 minutes?
But oh my gosh, I love this tribe-split twist. I love it so much. The way it was delivered, the timing, the historical tie-in, everything. Awesome, awesome. I can't wait to see what happens.
HLC surviving the first round. <333

Nax is locked in for 30th place, Craig, Derek and Ryan have already cast their votes. Renee is locked in for 29th, Britti and Jacob have voted her and Ricky is intending to vote her out as well. These people are so mean towards the older player  |

Ryan's manipulation plan for this episode was brilliant. Alyx fighting really hard is really dull on your part as your now on the bottom.

As much as I want to see Ricky fail... Nax being voted out is probably the best thing that could happen to his game! He is without his main man, which means he is a tad bit vulnerable...which means people won't see him as a big threat since he isn't in a partnership.. or maybe they will because Nicole is still in the game...
Not sorry to see Rene go... not surprised either!

I will say it's interesting to see people who were so used to winning tribal challenges in there previous seasons finally lose a first challenge. I was surprised and a bit sad to see Nax go. I was really looking forward to seeing hime play. I do think it was a good decision for the future game of Ryan, and I think it's really nice that he feels so bad. He said he kept someone (Derek) who he feels doesn't deserve to be there. The drama between Derek and Alyx will take any attention off of himself. He is doing well playing all 3 of them! This tribe of 4 needs to get it together or they aren't going to do well.
Derek please learn to look at your camera for confessionals!!
