I was so happy for a second when Jaime found the idol, only to immediately turn sour when it turned out it was just some Matthew superfan bullshit. It's even worse when Danny was so much more engaging and entertaining in doing the same exact thing a scene prior.

Danny was smart. He planted an idol to bus whoever found it to take any attention off of him. He then used it to force Matt to trust him. All this worked well. He won't take any heat for it because he was clever and subtle.

Matthew was dumb. Jaime already trusted him. And when she realizes she was duped, she can shoot daggers at him on his way out and blow up his game. Nobody will trust him after that. After all, he basically led her there.

Plant your fake idol for an enemy to find. Don't lead an ally there.

Purple is easily my favorite tribe. It's not close. Carson is somebody to root against, as he's interesting for a cocky superfan. Helen should have been higher than #12 but we were deprived of her in the edit. Probably was deliberate, to protect the fandom from themselves.

Orange is lame. Nobody in my top five, four in my bottom six. That tribe is greater than the sum of its parts. You'd think that the episode 1 shitshow would have produced more interesting individuals.

This episode was an episode. Got some nice character scenes and fun stuff but I'm not really excited by this show like I used to be. It's not the show, it's me.
