Rachel left with an idol YIKES. Post thoughts here!

im so sad for rachel but so appreciative of what we got from her. ugh rip queen

Getting voted out with an idol aside, Rachel actually has really good instincts - better than most people I've ever seen. This was a pretty straightforward, easy-to-pull off blindside, and she still almost sniffed it out - despite this being her first ORG and still just getting used to the social dynamics of these things. Her top-notch instincts probably serve her better in live games, but I also really hope she plays more ORGs, because now that she's gotten one under her belt I think she'll be able to have top notch reads in the next game that she plays.

Also, just an amazing character too. Between this and what she brought to the table in Survivor BC 6, she's approaching the Danny Butler tier of people you auto-cast if you're organizing a game.

I learned to really love and appreciate Rachel in this game. She continued to fight, despite being left out of things in the past, and almost figured out that votes were coming her way this time.

Going out with an idol, especially when you almost play it, hurts and I feel for Rachel. She was a great addition to the cast, and I am so glad we got to see her play her first ORG.

Now moving on to this round, I am shocked that Lakota lost a challenge. With that though, they have had so much tension building, and with the fight last round, I am excited to see what actually comes of this tribal. Off first instinct, I believe it will be Jake or Danny B, but I could see it re-bounding over to Jordan or Ricky if things get weird.

Lots of mistrust happening on Lakota now. From what is being pieced together from a string of calls, Jordan threw Knight's out to Nolan as a "test" to see if Nolan would run around and spread it. If this was his actual plan.... then Jordan was so dumb in that moment!!! Nolan went back to Knight and now Knight has confronted Jordan. Jordan did a poor job defending himself so his true messy side is starting to bleed through... I think Danny B could still be in trouble tonight, but I am curious to see if this drama boils over. Knight wants to call tribe chat and Jordan didn't seem game... will record once it happens.

Love Rachel, such an outstanding example of pure wit and entertainment. Not to mention the idol sting hurts very very bad. Hope she plays more in the future cause as Devon said she has great instincts. I just wish those killer instincts came into play when she was voted out!! But I die with Rachel in suicide so it's kind of poetic. Gonna do a more in-depth analysis of each castaway left as this game gets more and more cracked by the hour. These swap tribes have really worked in our favor as they're causing lots of drama and lots of blindsides AHHHH! Also, Danny Butler officially won the $25 prize for best round six confessional!

A lot of this drama really is stupid lol. Danny Butler did the smartest thing by just staying quiet and letting the others implode but they should've been aware to the fact that he was hiding so much in order for them to mistrust each other. I think if they recognized his absence then a lot of this he said she said stuff could have been avoided. But also Jordan is Jordan LOL. What's off to me is he tries to catch people in a lie by telling a lie therefore doing what he gets mad at said person for. Everyone on this tribe is running around like a chicken with their head cut off. Multiple public fights occurred this round before and after tribal. Knight tried to do a tribe call before tribal to air out the bullshit therefore thinking he got the votes off of him in the split situation. After the tie came out, everyone FREAKED out. Multiple callouts and a 2 hour long tribe call full of screaming and yelling. One of my favorite ORG calls i've ever seen tbh. Mojo stands his ground and starts to revolt against Ricky's condescending yelling basically pleading why the fuck shouldn't he try and flip the votes if he knew he was going to get a stray vote in the case that Danny Butler had an idol when Mojo is the one who has it all along hahah. This tribe is truly cracked and this is why we need Lakota to keep losing cause tbh this is merge gameplay and we're 3 rounds into the swap LOL. The vote tied 4-4-1 and Danny Butler was sadly voted off in a 6-1 revote. Round 9 commencing soon!
