And Then There Were Two

Last episode was a breath of fresh air, but here we are right back in advantageddon. Genie and Naseer both find a beware advantage (+5), Liana a new Knowledge Is Power advantage (+5), and the three idols are now activated. This will be scored similarly to week 3, where you score points for *finding* the beware advantage, and again for succeeding on the opportunity given. This is especially important this week, since Genie found the advantage, but it's Shan that activated and possesses the idol. That means another 5 points in the immunity/advantages column for Shan, Naseer, and Xander. (Welcome to the game Xander!)

Note: If you have not seen last week's updated gamelog, it was brought up that I had missed that direct questions from Jeff at *challenges* also score points - These episodes were revisited, and scores updated. This week, there didn't seem to be any direct questions. 'How are you guys feeling', without a name to direct it too, no points. Thank you to the player who brought it up!

Yellow team pulls off another immunity win, and Naseer keeps the blue tribe strong, shutting out green tribe yet again. Blue tribe now represents half the remaining players in the game. Deshawn's worries about a post merge alliance between the other two tribes might be eased, but the teaser for next episode implies something new.. (+4 immunity points to yellow, +3 to blue for second place, +3 to both tribes for reward win)

With another green tribal, and Shan being chosen to go to Shipwheel Island, she knocks out a staggering 13 confessionals, by my sources. She also says the episode title, 'The Strategist, Or The Loyalist', for another 3 confessional points.

No voting confessionals this time around, as it would give the result away - Genie and Shan get a couple of pointed tribal questions, and Ricard gets 3. 2 points to both Shan and Ricard for surviving yet another tribal.
