Been awhile since anyone commented on this season. Up until the past week or 2 it's been a pretty lackluster season compared to some of the recent ones which I think were some of the best on the show's history.
This week was a good one though with Lauren stepping up and coming up with a good plan then watching Joe and Mike think they all the sudden were back "in" with an alliance now when they were just being played as fools. Two blindsides were good ones, Joe's especially was great.
Of those left I'd like to see Ben win but I doubt he will as everyone knows he would probably win at this point if he made it to the end so he's going to get blindsided at some point probably. Other than Mike, Ryan, or Chrissy I really wouldn't have a problem with Ashley, Lauren, Devon, or Ben winning because I think they all have played things pretty well so far. Lauren especially has gone from fairly quiet and on the outs early on to a pretty bold and strategic player lately. Ryan and Chrissy are just too scatterbrain and clueless that they don't know what is going on around them even though they think they have some power in the game. Ryan especially is now just grasping for anyone he can align with and Mike called him on his BS how he can't trust working with a guy who just wrote his name down at tribal. Ben playing the double agent is pretty funny because those other idiots never caught onto what he was doing but it's also genius for the other 3 too because it somewhat keeps him out of their conversations too where they already hinted he may need to go sooner than later.
Hopefully the end of this season has more action than the 1st part did because the first half of the season was pretty dull I think. Some of these new hidden advantage twists have been interesting but so far no one has really used them or when they have it hasn't had much of an impact on the game so far.
