JEFF PROBST:Its a great question.
Putting aside my own personal feelings, Id say yes, its a legit strategy.
As for whether its sore losers, Im not sure it has to be one or the other.
It can be both.
There is a bit of sore loser playing out.
I am fascinated by what happens when Scot and Jason are together versus when they are apart.
Both were really nice guys in casting.
I liked them very much and never saw this coming.
Its a thin-slice look at the many nuances of this game.
One personality can shift another personality and that can shift an entire tribe dynamic.
Scot is a former pro athlete those guys play for keeps.
They have huge stakes, millions of dollars on the line, plus personal pride.
Jason chases other humans for a living.It doesnt get any more personal than that.
So I think both of them were triggered by their fight or flight instincts and this is the result.
The bigger question from a game point of view can it work?
What was your reaction when Julia volunteered to go with the guys?
I cant say enough about Julia.
So young and so mature and so brave.
Shes playing a reckless game and that is to be commended.
She is playing one of the most aggressive games of anyone still left.
Every move comes with a potential negative consequence.
But as you and I often talk about in this column, Monday morning quarterbacking is for couch potatoes.
Many, many, many winners have played two or even three sides.
And many, many winners needed a second shot, or more to make it happen.
If that alliance stays strong, as a player can you even target them with all that idol power?
Its a great question.
I agree, they played it beautifully and with extreme confidence.
No matter which one of the three you pick, they will be safe.
And you have to assume they will throw their three votes on one player.
And … the other big question is what happens after youve used it?
Because now both the idols are gone and youre vulnerable again.Survivoris a never-ending series of what ifs.
What was it like interacting with her at challenges and Tribal Council and how sad are you lose her?
Debbie is one of a kind.
She is wacky and she owns it.
She knows a little about a lot.
He was gold every single time she said anything.
She earned her keep out there and should be proud.
I miss her already.
Tease us up for next weeks episode!
