Thoughts during the episode
-Interesting recap to show stuff from the recap episode and insider videos of Russell footage, why wasn't this included in the actual episode then? Russell shown as controlling Gelu's votes, Jaison worried but votes with Russell anyway
-Ok, so Russell's money comes up, and it wasn't in a regular episode, that's really dumb.I guess they wanted a mention of it more fresh in the viewers minds perhaps
-Russell labeled a jury threat, and Mick surprisingly, doubt about Russell making it to the end with him getting targeted, Brent thinks they may have found cracks in Foa Foa, yeah, looks like another episode of Foa Foa not breaking up.
-Jaison's starting to step up his game again, 15 minutes in he looks pretty darn good this episode.
-Laura waves to Brent and says stay strong, well I guess that Brent vote wasn't so crazy, look he has a jury connection now!
-Mick shown worrying about who Russell will take to the end, Russell worrying that Mick might flip from getting nervous
-Wow, LOTS of Foa Foa drama, I guess the bold Russell move was wearing the HII, clever of him, good show for the jury to.
-So now we know why Monica won't vote for Russell, so far it sure looks like it could be a boy vs girl vote on the jury from Gelu..
-An awful lot of jury talk this episode, surprising how much there was, I mean 3 people were labeled jury threats at some point (Russell, Mick, & Shambo).


I have to say I'm a bit surprised to be shown all that "you gotta vote out Shambo she's a jury threat" stuff for nothing, for even Gelu to abandon the plan. Was it really there for drama over the vote, or was there more of a purpose to it? I can think of 2 other purposes it serves 1) Maybe it was more about trying to portray Shambo as a jury threat, to create suspense when she faces the jury (if she does), or 2) to portray Russell as too willing to do really risky moves, even if he didn't actually go through with it.

So who was INV by the end of the first vote? I think Natalie was up till then, I can't really remember anything Mick said, but I definitely remember him in a few short scenes that didn't focus on him, and others talking to him.

Once again we hear people worry about a Russell/Natalie/Shambo F3, the second time it's come up this season, I think the first was in the recap episode, why bring it up twice?

I actually saw Monica's comments towards Russell, and Russell's comments at TC that they would have been together had they started off at the same tribe, as indications that Monica would vote for him at a FTC.
