    Yeah I was incredibly disappointed starting up this week’s batch of episodes to see them immediately revealing the AI.

  2. I haven’t caught up on the newest batch of episodes yet, but yeah, fully agree with this. That should’ve been a reveal much later in the season once the players had built stronger connections

    also the pair thing could have been interesting, but since they didn't allow the players to talk about who they were paired with at all, and didn't even have influencers for the blocking, it made it just kind of a random blocking (at least for 1 of the 2 people)... and there's no way they don't both choose to stay. Kyle for sure should. "Paul" knows he was the one rated last, and should suck it up and choose to sacrifice, but there's a 99% chance that doesn't happen.

    Completely agreed, both of the major twists this season have played out in really disappointing ways.

    i hate when a show is like "CHECK OUT THIS HUGE TWIST" and then takes it away immediately. So when they did the buddy thing i got really annoyed when they immediately turned around to say actually one of you might not go home.

    I just hope they make them come back as a catfish. I like when they do that. It reminds me of the old forum days of getting banned for talking shit and making a new account to keep talking shit lol

    One thing I’ll give this season is that I really like the cast, almost all of them are putting strategy first (even if some of them are doing it badly) and that’s kind of refreshing for this show.
     
  7. All caught up. Aside from the AI thing getting played up a little too much for what it ended up being, I’ve loved this season so far

    I really hope “Paul” chooses to sacrifice, but it doesn’t seem like that will be the case. Think they’re playing a pretty terrible game overall and must know they were the lowest rated player lol

    Does Jordan like… know Myles from real life or something?? Why does he hate him so much, it’s so irritating lol. There’s being strategic and then there’s just being a weird little asshole

  10. Also I totally assumed the ride or die thing would cease after that blocking. Very surprised to see it keep going

  13. All caught up. Hell of a cliffhanger. I was rooting for QT most of the season because she’s so good at the game, but the past few episodes put Brandon/Olivia at my #1. I don’t want to see Jordan get the satisfaction of playing a part in Myles getting blocked, but if Brandon truly feels like that’s his best move then I’m for it

    Yeah I feel like for sure Olivia is going to block Myles. As he was saying it out loud it makes sense. With Myles gone there goes QTs shot at being #1 ever again, it’s basically taking two out at once.
    I hate that it’s what Jordan was trying to mastermind, though. And I really hate that his strategy has actually been working lol

    Just caught up as well, been a weird season. Feels like less total player than usual and there's only been one traditional blocking all season!

    Also I can't believe how quick they had AI quit, it was actually interesting to watch, Max should have stuck around longer

  17. Wonder if they’ll have Max show up for the finale rating lol

    I still adore this show, but I think this season has been a little underwhelming overall. Seems like there’s far less new players and blockings and everything like that moved at a much slower pace. I can’t stand Jordan and will be irrationally angry if he somehow wins, but I can’t see any way that happens. Bound to be Myles or QT going home next, but the whole “most emotional blocking” has me worried it’s gonna be Kyle, which I’d hate. Kyle and Olivia are my favorite players this season

    What a weird finale. The host didn't even show up?

    This show is its own worst enemy. Abandoning good twists too early and letting bad twists go on too long plus casting a literal psychopath… they still have a lot to work on. Also 3 weeks of 4 episodes and another week to drop the last one is whack. Especially when Jordan cratered the last batch of 4 so I just ended up skipping through this episode.

    Or the whole face time with the family at the end. They didn’t get dinner either lol. Makes me wonder if they’ll continue the show honestly seemed like this season was bare bones on the budget

    How bad did the AI chat bot wind up being? When I saw that in the trailer it immediately killed any interest I really had in the season.

    Yeah that was a weirdly unceremonious finale

    couldn’t be happier about the winner though. him and kyle were my two favs by the end
