even though Mike and Jonathan (and even Romeo) were just as involved.

Were they though? Maybe initially but they clearly did not want to take the chance and vote out Omar. They wanted to play it safe and take out Romeo.

I think his over sell of that helped persuade some jurors into thinking it was a this huge move in the game when it really wasn't all that big of a deal.

It was a testement to her strategic play as well as her social game. It was a better "move" than anybody else in the final 5 could claim.

Jonathan said at Final tribal that he and Mike approached Maryanne about blindsiding Omar and she agreed with that assessment, so yeah I think so. The guys still put two votes on Romeo as a backup in case Omar had an idol, knowing that Maryanne had the extra vote.

In the essence of full disclosure, Omar had some enlightening things to say about Drea. LINK

The full interview he did with Rob has even more info aside from just being a good post game interview.

That's fricked up. I honestly think the jury should be isolated from each other until after the final vote.

fuuuck.

Wife and I just finished the Maoist Struggle Session esque episode known as Episode 8.

Gee whiz was that awkward, nonsensical, and unnecessary. Anyone who’s finished the season - should we stop here? Or does the winner win from playing the game the best or win based on the color of their skin? (not white)(no spoilers please)

shite was incredibly hypocritical. Drea voted Chanelle off. And 2 gay guys and a Muslim voted off Rocks. But because the 3 white players were about to vote of Drea or Marianne….we gotta play the race card. Convenient.

Or maybe Chanelle was a bitch that burned her alliances early. And Rocks was a fricking idiot. That’s why they were voted off, not some fabricated racism tale like Spleen and UMRealist want to spin it as.

No, don't stop. It's basically never brought up again.

Some great game play coming up.

sweet. I used to watch it with my parents a long time ago and enjoyed it. Stopped for basically the last decade and wifey has never watched a single season. We were really enjoying it up until that episode. Glad to hear.

Any badass seasons in the past we should go back and watch next?

39 and 41 suck... 39 especially.

40 is one of the best, but it's an all winners season, so might go back further.
