Now that he hs brilliantly won the merge for his tribe, he's going back to his stupid sabotage strategy just be an asshole. This seems correct. Having been hyped as the biggest villain, only to turn into the fan favorite, we will see him behaving like a villain again. We'll get the story of How Russell Loses, along with a stronger winner's edit for Mick, Natalie, or Jaison. Perhaps if it's Russell's antisocial acts of mischief that do him in with the jury, Mick's "bland nice guy" edit could fit for a winner.

But then again we all know that the Natalie support isn't actually based on edgic, don't we?

Jaison has potential depth with the quitting thing, but if that was a winner's theme they'd have milked it more than they have. Shambo's depth is being ostracized by her tribe and being a sort of underdog, which is a viable winner's theme even if most of the time the person with that storyline doesn't win. Monica's theme is basically shot dead with Laura gone, unless it's about her recovering from losing her ally and making a comeback, which I'm not going to rule out yet. Dave's depth is being comic relief. John's depth is being the strategist of Galu, but he's not been around enough to really be a winner. No need to even mention Brett. Russell's been 90% of this season, no need to go with them. I honestly believe that Brett's insanely weird UTR1 edit is a more viable winner's edit than Mick's at this point. At least Brett's edit is original for a male, so they may just be going for the "out of nowhere" edit approach since this season's been dominated by Russell anyway. Mick has as much depth as Brett so far, except with decent numbers because of Foa Foa being the complex tribe. The season's fucking theme is leadership, Mick was the chosen leader, the editing made a huge fucking deal about Russell S and Shambo being leaders, but they never even fucking bothered with Mick. What kind of winner would be fucking ignored if he was an integral part of the theme? You'd think the editors would eat that shit up if the winner was also a leader of a tribe. Mick isn't going to win. I will literally kill myself if he does. I'll get a gun, point it to my head, and blow my god damn brains out if Mick wins Survivor: Samoa. I'd be more willing to bet for Brett to win than Mick. Mick's got the eighth-worst edit left out there. Can anyone seriously tell me five things about Mick? About what makes Mick stand out from, say, Monica or even Dave? About why Mick has a winner's edit besides having Marcus-like numbers without any of the depth Marcus had pre-merge and then falling to Kelly-level invisibility post-merge? Are you people really that god damn stubborn with your "don't change winner's picks post-merge" bullshit that you're going to embarrass yourselves by sticking with some emotionless dud of a character who's only there as fucking fodder? God damn. Get the mop and bucket out!

And haven't heard any Natalie supporters say they support any one else. I'm still on board as well. It's not rational to discount one UTR on Natalie. Shall we look at Mick's (soon to be) three UTRs?

Oh, I forgot we're doing "combo editing" this season so her edit is actually combined with Monica and Ashley's edit. My bad.

But then again we all know that the Natalie support isn't actually based on edgic, don't we? This is a season where every single one of the contestants breaks key edgic rules. So which one do you support that you can say something like that? Russell is N with a 5 visibility almost every episode. And Mick has 3 UTR's right at the merge. Natalie has a CP, MORP and UTRP at the merge, that's much, much better than the other two contenders.

God damn. LOL. This isn't critical to life on this planet. Edgic is a game. The rules (unless someone in AuthoriTAY) says otherwise is: Make your pick at the merge. So frigging what if we pick wrong? It ain't bullshit. It's a game. It ain't being god damn stubborn. It's a game. You wanna change your pick? Go right ahead. no one's stopping you. To think that picking someone who doesn't win is in any way embarrassing is funny. Go smoke some weed, dude. Mellow out.

Natalie did have a shitty pre-merge, Mick does have a pretty bad post-merge thus far (I don't think to the degree of Natalie's start but that's not the point.) However, they don't even correlate with each other at all. Mick's post-merge does not take away from the fact that Natalie had a shitty pre-merge that, in my opinion, should've kept her ruled out. I wasn't even supporting Mick, I'm just not supporting Natalie

Monica had about as much depth as Mick, can you call that good for Mick's chances? And after tonight, Monica has more depth.

Practically true. Even our non-INVs (Mick, Russell, Jaison, Shambo, Monica) are nothing like a typical good edit. Mick has been UTR all post-merge so far. No depth whatsoever. Winners generally have some depth. Mick gets credit of is an introduction, that's about it. Monica was UTR all pre-merge basically. No depth either. Once again, winners generally have some depth. Jaison has been jumpy with tone. P in Ep 3, N in Ep 4, 6 and 7, then P in 8 and 9 again. He's the closest to edgic in this season, honestly. Shambo and Russell, we've never had edits like Russell, and Shambo couldn't be a more obvious distraction. So how are they not breaking key edgic rules? Not getting INV?
