That was a surprisingly enjoyable finale. The twist at final four helped set the tone, and we had a great time watching it all unfold from there. What did you think of the Finale challenges?

There was a lot of hope that we might finally get a major, strategic turn with some excitement, but unfortunately the frustration continued. It's fair to say at this point, that this will not be remembered as a great or favorite season by most. The one thing it has delivered is uncertainty, and we expect more of that in the finale on Wednesday!

That was a double whammy of disappointment! The logic of both of those Tribal Council moves left us sad. If you have any insights, we would love to hear them. How did your assessment of the castaways change after this episode? Who is most likely to be a no vote goat? Who has played the best strategic game? Who has played the best social game?

There is a lot of building frustration expressed in this week's feedback. We're all scratching our head and wondering how this group is making voting decisions. Surprisingly, the Journey challenge ended up being a highlight. A lot of our hopes for this season pivot on how the expiring advantages are played in the next episode.

The consensus from the fans this week is that we are seeing really poor gameplay from one alliance combined with mildly competent gameplay from the opposing alliance that has delivered this "failure to flush" scenario three weeks in a row. In spite of the frustrating lack of progress, we are still excited to see how the balance of power may shift next.

We thankfully returned to a full Tribal Council this week, but this is the second week where a clear, logical plan is traded for another fuzzy outcome. Are we watching the results of a single skillful player or the bungling results of an inept alliance? Who do you credit with this week's results?

No surprise we got a wide variety of feedback on this last episode. Some really disliked the move back to tiny tribes, some thought it was exciting because it was unpredictable and others thought it was just meh.

Overall feedback remained positive this week with some saying it was the best of the season, but quite a few were left feeling a bit empty given the vote out. The one thing we all agreed on was that we prefer a real merge with everyone vulnerable and voting. We're excited to see where the game goes next now that the battle lines have been drawn.

Relatively speaking, that was a pretty solid Merge episode. We got a surprise ending, and we may get to skip the Mergatory silliness of the 40s. Which do you like better, earn the merge meal or everyone gets to eat? How long do you think this majority alliance can hold together?

Production loves Tiny Tribes, and the "nowhere to hide" concept. It did allow one castaway to finally exact some revenge for another's duplicitous actions.

Feedback on this episode was a mixed bag with the majority settling on "predictable" as the primary adjective. There was some excellent gameplay that was celebrated, but most are simply looking forward to the merge at this point. The idea of shuffling to tiny tribes did not excite anyone.

While the fans saw this as an improvement over the last episode, many are still lamenting the lack of suspense when it comes to the vote out.
