@Ethanimale I think their response to the block has strategy behind it. Jason and Mallory had similar arguments to stay (fighting back at the HOH) but not loud enough to convince enough voters. On the block against Angela, they had to really commit to give themselves a real chance.
@Miss_AngelaH I think a big part of it is the way Survivor built hype for season 50, they’ve leaned too hard into forcing viral moments (celebrities, bad twists, Jeff rap)- people were getting tired from that, and Survivor wasn’t as obnoxious as a brand when Cirie was on BB25
@billygiese The factual only way they can redeem this season is if they use this twist to add Jen Johnson to the game with a friendship necklace. We’re in a dire state.
@JunDishes Where was she last week? Oh right, the block was all people who’d go against the vets. She emerges when their vet pet/Beast connection is on the block though.
