I thought this was the weakest episode so far, to be honest, but hey, I was surprised to see my winner pick (Ali) go, and Victoria is seeming more and more
interesting every week. I just wasn't a fan of the tasks, which didn't really bring that much to the table, sabotage-wise.
Paul is damn good at this game. At least, he's good at distracting everyone from it. As long as his obnoxious, argumentative behavior is part of a strategy, I'll support him as a pretty savvy player. I noticed he was green-screened at some point during the execution, but it wasn't shown. Not sure what the editing strategy is there, but it's not the first time they've done it this season, so I'm not putting too much thought into it.
Bobby was a predictable boot. The basic editing strategy for the eliminated player each week is pretty blatant. Build up the person with a bit of personal characterization, have some people suspecting them, show their potential sabotage, and then "shockingly" evict them. And his comment about never taking the bribe, even if he had a 50/50 shot of going home, sealed the deal. Hopefully they mix it up in the future, and more of our boots are like Ali, who I did not see coming.
Speaking of Ali, now that she's gone, Victoria is my official winner pick. She's also my #2 Mole pick, following right behind Kristen.
Oh, and nice to see Bobby pulling a Corbin with those hidden clues. Hopefully the paranoia really starts to get to these people soon and they start freaking out as much as we're accustomed to seeing on this show.
