So Matt or Steve blindsided cause Benji will prob use his immunity idol.
Well to be anywhere near as exciting as the promos suggest you would think both Matt and Benji play their Idols as weâve had successful Idol plays before (e.g. Heath)/ We know Steve canât be going either because weâve seen a promo for the second half of this season with him wearing an immunity necklace and he is yet to win immunity.
The necklace that Steve was wearing was a hidden immunity idol not a regular immunity idol. Could it be that Mat gives his immunity idol to Steve thinking that people are targeting him at tribal and Benji plays his idol, resulting in Mat being voted out?
Seems like all will get their wish. Benji will go in one episode this week. There is no coincidence he is in Melbourne this week.
Unlikely that he goes this week after what happened tonight.
Why else would he be back in Melbourne though?
Good Old Collingwood Forever?
Is he a pies supporter? Thatâs a massive turn off!
Donât know but he still has his idol. So unless he is really stupid he is not going tomorrow.
Just watched that episode. How did Benji manipulate Sharn like that and how was that allowed haha?
Great episode.
Wow. That was a jaw dropping Tribal Council. Undoubtedly the craziest that weâve had on Australia Survivor. I was screaming so proud of Sharn for playing the Idol on Matt then so angry that she then let Benji manipulate her. Argh.
Iâve completely changed my tune this season. I was all about the Contenders (apart from Benji) but I would just love to see Sharn, Steve or Shane get revenge now. If any of them can do anything to topple him it would be so sweet. I just canât stand Beniâs arrogance and how dirty he is playing. What he did to Sharn last night was dirty way to play but at the same time I donât know why she was swayed so easily. Hopefully this Idol we know Steve is eventually going to get is played well and knocks Benji out.
It wouldnât surprise me at all if things flip on Benji. He is so arrogant now that if enough people decide to take him out he may not play his Idol thinking he is the mastermind. Surely the people in his so called new alliance arenât dumb enough to allow him into the top 5. Although Monica/Fenella/Brian/Shonee are the worlds biggest floaters. They are clueless to the game.
I am interested in otherâs thoughts though. Is it fair that after the votes have been cast and someone has played an Idol on someone, to then be able to change it to someone else? I think once everyone has voted and you say you are playing it for someone it should stay that way. I assume there must be a rule like that in the US because I donât think weâve ever seen that happen (unless Iâve forgotten a time itâs happened?).
All this blindside and Benjiâs manipulation would not occur had Sharn not carelessly dropped the immunity idol in front of fellow castaways.
I just donât understand your Benji hate. haha
I wouldnât call it careless. I was actually impressed that she got all the way over there and it into her pocket without anyone getting too suss until she got back and it dropped out. It was a good try and she did the right thing using the Idol right up to get any target off her.
His cockiness and arrogance is like a mini Russell Hantz. He plays a similar game. He has been a lot of talk and no action this season but when he makes a move itâs with a lie or dirty way of playing. I want him knocked down a notch.
Well I for one was extremely happy with the result of last night, it is an annoyance of mine that each season they all profess to be big fans but they never make the big move to get rid of the top dogs when they can. Mat was completely blindsided and unlike so many episodes there was no obvious vote out.
I donât discredit what he did at all. It was amazing to see some strong gameplay on Australian Survivor, something we lacked the first few seasons. I think though the season would even become more exciting if other players can now get rid of him cos if it pans out how things turned last night then the final 5 would include Monika, Brian, Shonee and Fenella (snooze fest from a gameplay perspective).
Iâm actually super excited to see what Shane Gould gets up to in tonightâs episode to stir the pot. It probably means sheâs going home this episode but hopefully means nobody F$%^s with Shane Gould and gets away with it!
Benji is an fake human being, from his accent to his back story! Itâs only a game but the look on his face when things go against him says a lot about him. I hope he goes soon!
or the fact a camera person was filming her by herself while the others didnt think that was suss?
How does his accent make him fake? There is scientific research to suggest when you live among people that have an accent you can get that accent. When I was in the UK my sister, when she came to visit, said I had an accent. It wasnât like I was doing it purposely.
Plus it is a show. If hiding your job and how much money you have gives you a better chance at winning you would do it. I know I would if I was out there playing that game. Fact is he is actually playing a pretty solid game. Its just you donât like the way he is playing it.
@Chris I wouldnât discount Shonee as a floater just yet. She was dirty on Benji just a couple of episodes ago; I reckon it suits her game to be in with him to get rid of champions, then she can mobilise the rest to kill him off. She is playing a smart game. And as you pointed out a while ago, she is getting an odd edit for a backgrounder.
Monika is still total snooze fest though no one has realised sheâs not voting with champions any more.
