Fill me on this since I missed so much. What are the actual dynamics right now in the game from your perspective?
Well Michelle is a rogue warrior kinda by herself that'll likely scoop up Sydney. Steph and Voce are maybe together but hard to say after tonight? Hali is a woman alone on an island but will likely rely on Steph going forward.
Essentially what happened was Voce kinda came alive right around your vote it seemed like. He got really close with Steph which I was fine with because I was kinda in a place of being torn between Hali and Steph. So there were essentially three pairs in the game, Michelle/Paul, Hali/Mike, Steph/Voce. The first two pairs had control but obviously Michelle/Paul looked like the strongest pair that was the biggest threat to win out. Steph/Voce were the weaker more beatable pair so Hali/Mike fell into line with them. blindsided Paul, and then Michelle won immunity again which then put Mike in the hot seat at tribal. Paul told Mike right before his boot that Michelle had an idol so Mike tried to misdirect, claim he was going for Sydney but got Steph and Hali to pile on to Voce with him. Voce played an idol for Sydney, Sydney played and idol for Voce and then Michelle just flexed she had an Idol I think? I don't know - at that point I knew I was cooked so just started prepping goodbye messages LOL.
So yeah - I'd say post Mike boot Hali is on the outs huge, Steph has some work to do to repair the relationship with Voce but I'm sure it'll be fine, Michelle gained an ally in Sydney and, while still a tempting target is poised to make a legit run at the end.
