Sami proves he’s a teen titan with a move that absolutely should not have worked… but did.
How did he do that?
Who am I talking about then?

Look, I’m not gonna sit here and front.
But it didn’t, and he may have just pulled off the move of the season.
Let me set the table before we go any further.

All they had to do was stay quiet.
But Sami didn’t.
Instead, Sami went to Karla and basically told her that the vote was going against James.

On the surface, this seemed like pure lunacy.
All she had to do was tell James and he could potentially steal the steal-a-vote and flip everything back.
Why would Sami risk everything by telling Karla?

with 8 question marks, because apparently seven was not deemed sufficient enough.
What was he thinking?
Ah, impetuous youth!
Struck down by inexperience yet again!
Yet somehow, some way, Sami actually convinced Karla to vote against her biggest ally.
I don’t knowhowhe did it.
I don’t know if he promised Karla a custom-made chakram.
I don’t know if he arranged a private audience for her with Lucy Lawless and Renee O’Connor.
But however he did it, he did it.
If the current contestants are similarly clueless, they may find themselves on the jury sooner rather than later.
That just doesn’t pay dramatic dividends for me.
That way we would get new tribe dynamics.
People that might be safe in a full tribe were all of a sudden in danger.
And we certainly saw all of that this week.
Anyway, I would probably retire this particular challenge, in which Karla (with a busted finger!)
The Tribals lacked sizzle.
Again, I’m not talking about idol plays and live Tribals and all that.
But nobody has been sharing.
That changed this week when Owen and James continued their feud into Tribal.
Honestly, neither sound great.
But also, neither sound terrible.
That’s the game.
(Was he trying out Marlon Brando’s famous Don Corleone mouthpiece?)
“Okay, we’re done.
I’m done with it,” she announced.
BOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Can’t we all justnotget along?
Four people have now possessed it and no one has yet to use it successfully.
Once someone announces they have something at Tribal and displays it, it can’t be taken away.
Instead, they kept their pre-merge vendetta intact and Ryan ended up on the losing side of the vote.
Personally, it seemed like Cassidy was the smarter play to oust, especially after James was knocked out.
And we got the goods for you.
Interested in getting on the show?
Well, then go read it!
But hopefully not before a return with a Thanksgiving sized scoop of the crispy!
