Well what a crappy round for Stephen. If only his tribe had won the immunity, unless he can make a move, it's bye-bye stephen tonight
This game is going to become a hot mess once merge next round just think of all the conflict that will arise!
Corey vs Blake Corey vs Mikki Corey vs Eric/Mike Regan vs Her Non-existent Social Game Casey/Blake vs Feji
I think once we hit merge this is going to be a game for the UTR players and the OTTN players will leave one after another.
Corey - Still a psycho by apparently calling Mikki some crude things, easy boot come merge Mikki - Pissed about Corey, but she actually has the connections to make something happen about corey Blake - Playing a very good game right now letting Casey call the shots on everything and essentially using her as a shield until he hits the merge. Casey - Playing hard and I see her being a target straight into merge Kyle - Who? Besides Mike's F2? I think Kyle is the goat that will be dragged along once Mike is inevitably gone. Mike - Has "The Conquest", but seems to be on the outs in terms of the game, wouldn't be surprised the see "The Conquest" played by Final 8 in order to save himself. I'd see him going over Kyle in situations though. Regan - Social game still not on fleek, easy boot come merge Eric - Actually in a decent spot if he uses his idol I think. If he gets rid of the idol this TC, then he can get back into the Knarr and hopefully find it before Corey does. Feji - She has come a long way and saved herself from elimination a few rounds ago, still has the idol which is only known by Mike/Eric as people believe Poteet has the idol. Johnny - Could see him going far in the merge if he just lays low and takes over Stephen's roll after his possible boot tonight. Stephen - RIP
Contenders come merge - 1. Eric - Eric is running this game right now, as long as Stephen goes, Eric has Mikki, Feji, Johnny and Mike set for merge. If he gets that group together and still has every power in the game, I don't see him getting stopped 2. Johnny - I see Johnny really taking over Stephen's roll and being UTR starting next round and riding the coattails of the bigger threats 3. Blake - I think Blake is seeing the game as here are his targets, here's what he can do. If he takes out Corey, he gains Mikki as an ally. If he can get Corey out, he still has targets in Casey/Regan which he can ride out to the Top 7, because I don't see Casey/Regan winning immunity. 4. Feji - Feji has a new light in this game, not only with an idol, but the critical thinking Feji is back in this game, and it'll be interesting to see what she'll do come merge. Knowing she hasn't made a merge before, I'm looking to see big moves from Feji.
In trouble come merge - 1. Corey - Read above 2. Casey - Read above 3. Regan - Read above
Predictions for the rest of the game 11th - Stephen 10th - Corey 9th - Mike 8th - Casey 7th - Regan 6th - Mikki 5th - Eric 4th - Blake 3rd - Feji Final Tribal - Poteet/Kyle

Regan vs Her Non-existent Social Game
Regan - Social game still not on fleek, easy boot come merge I feel like everyone is a bit too hard on Regan unfairly. At the beginning of the game she was seen as a bit of a joke, but legit, Regan has played a pretty decent game and isn't in a bad position. Although her social game hasn't been amazing, it hasn't been bad. I mean who is Regan in a bad position with, Corey though they haven't fought at all on the new Vagar, potentially Feji though mostly due to association with Blake/Casey. Regan is actually in a solid position and to say it has nothing to do with her social game is doing her a disservice. I think Regan can fairly easily make the Final 6 at this point and maybe even go further. She has been no slouch on the challenges and she's positioned as someone who isn't going to be a target early on. Do I think Regan can win the game? Probably not, because even if she makes the Finals I'm not sure who well she would do in a FTC and how well she could vocalize her gameplay, but Regan is definitely someone to watch in this game for the long haul, and a lot of that has to do with her social game, which unironically has actually been somewhat on point.

I also totally agree that Casey is not entering the merge in a good spot, she definitely has a "first merge boot" potential, especially if her and Blake try to immediately target Feji.
I was a little down on Stephen leaving this round over Corey, but overall I actually like the dynamic this adds to the game. Although Stephen has been amazing to host, it's the "unpredictable" factor that makes watching and hosting these games fun. Who will we get more out of a merge, Corey or Stephen? I even have no idea who Corey is going to side with because so many people on each side don't like him. Will he be the first merge boot? I honestly don't think the players this season will take the easy choice, but who will he work with. Feji will have just voted out Stephen and is working closely with Eric who Corey is wary of. Mikki and Corey have beef, Blake and Corey have beef. Will Mike be welcomed back with Eric/Feji/Johnny after being on another tribe for a week and building ties there. Will Regan turn on Blake/Casey to work with Eric?
The first round of the merge can really go any way, but I think the two people that should be most worried are Casey and Corey.
