I don't mind the theme to be honest. Yes its now repetitive, but getting those celebs out there is a good thing, and I think just chucking them in the normal tribes and ignoring the fact they have a profile would be strange.

I'm loving how #ArrogantAndy's game has been blown up.
Poor Sarah, clearly had no idea. I had to chuckle at her gloating to the camera that she's got 3 people (her +2) voting for Andy and he's therefore going to go, despite it being a clan of 8 and 3 votes was never enough! haha

Agree re Shaun, poor bugger. Not only sits on the sidelines while his team mates win a flag in 2017, and finishes stranded on 99 AFL games, but then Survivor wacks him on the chumps team! haha. Ah well, don't feel too bad for him, he still gets to go home to Megan Gale.

Yeah, between being better at challenges than Sarah, and his new desire to suck up to David, I suspect David and Luke were keen to keep him over her.

I just love the fact he called himself the best player ever to enter the game, then his *spoiler* was a complete guess. In fact he went as far as to say he didn't even think it was true.

Very surprised the rest of the contenders voted with the champs. They are stuffed now. I suspect a couple will fall into the final 6, but no chance they get control of the game now.

The three champion girls are very tight, won't break them up and Blacky is just following them all the way. Only chance for a real flip is if Luke and Dave decide to shake things up, but I suspect they'll look to do that at 9 or 7, meaning a few more contenders will be shown the door between now and then.

Yep a great exit. Really surprised that hasn't been used before.

I think the Champs may make it 6-4 & then the girls blindside Dave but still gives champs 5-4

If they do then they run the risk of Luke jumping ship on them and taking his chances against the 4 contenders rather than against a fairly tight group of the three girls and Simon.

Good season so far and plenty of ways it can still play out. Hopefully it doesn't fizzle.

I don't look at them cause they have some serious insider trading going on and it gives it away.

Yeh, have not looked at markets this year.

Last year my son and his mates backed Shane Gould to win plenty, inside word from someone who worked on show. So think whoever are the favourites would be pretty close to final three!

If he didn't think he's a white rapper when he talks, probably.

Surprised that Luke didn't send Pia back to camp, rolled the dice and had to bluff Abbey, where as if he'd sent Pia back to camp it would have been an easy vote with Bayden and Harry both voting Abbey no dramas.

I can only assume he was trying to make it seem like a 'big move', but in reality it seemed to be a risk for no real gain, other than building his resume. Will be interesting to see if the jury like him for it or not.

What wasn't clear to me or not, was if he had to play it at final 5, or if he could have held it another episode. IE: if he fails to pick up immunity next time round, could he have sent himself back to camp to give himself a guaranteed spot in the final 3.

This conversation literally happened in my living room about both points you made.
Strange not sending Pia back but the only conclusion I could come up with is if he did, he shows his hand and Baden goes home when I think Baden is Luke's biggest alliance.

I reckon he had to use it last night. Thought he may have sent Pia too.

At the end of the day though, he needs to win immunity at the last two challenges or he is gone, they will all vote him out, If he gets to final two, he is a monty to win.

I hope he does win it, deserves too.

Agree I assume he had to play it, but given how 'badly' he played it, I wonder if he was blinded by building a resume, and failed to consider keeping it another episode.

The other query I had was what would the tie breaker have been had Abbey not fallen for the bluff.

IE: Luke and Pia vote Abbey, Harry and Abbey vote Pia, 2-2 tie.

Normally with 4 left, they go to fire, but technically there are still 5 left in the game, so it should be normal rules, that is, Abbey and Pia are safe as the two being voted for, Luke has immunity so he's safe, and therefore only Harry is left to draw the white rock!
