The Daniel quote that Robbie posted on his confessional literally made me roll my eyes. Way to sound shady and desperate. I'd post it here but my phone won't let me. Also where the fuck is kurtis ?! I wanna read his hilarious thoughts.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the Chikara/Saaki deal is the first time it's happened... I don't recall two tribes working together to win Immunity.

Long post warning!
Get off the Jose hate train! I feel like people are calling his gameplay "sloppy" and implying that it's "willingly sloppy" based on the reasoning behind it. Ok that was a little harsh and I understand yall's opinions, but this is mine:
I think Jose's downfall at the beginning was how instantly Billy and Sami clicked. And that's not exactly something he could have controlled, so the constant criticism against him makes it sound like he's a crappy player with no awareness. Jose is clearly a bright guy and well-spoken. I know you all know that, but I don't think writing it off as "sloppy" does the issue justice.
If you take the Billy-Sami bond out of the equation, Jose may be sitting at the top of his tribe with solid relationships across the board. And let's not forget that Jose is very popular, and entered the game as a huge threat because of that (similar to Sassy). So for all the additional pressure and eyes on him before the game even started, I applaud his effort and I think the middle of the road strategy he chose was probably his best chance. He made mistakes, and those mistakes are unknowingly under a microscope because the Doc Pac is so in control, which is making everything worse as well. But he does have connections with people and hasn't been out of the loop like Jamie and a few others in the cast. For whatever reason, others don't see him as a "#1 Ally" type of guy for them, and I don't know if he could have controlled much to prevent that. Had he been super under the radar or tried being an outspoken leader figure, he may have been the first boot. And he's still here. It's not over till it's over.
The current situation is more of a testament to how impressive Billy and Sami have been at keeping the rest of the tribe from realizing they are the power couple running the show. With that said, I don't think we need label Jose as "playing poorly." I don't see it as a black/white issue. In fact, I think he'd probably be safe playing the way he has on any other tribe. So to conclude this, I think we need to throw some bad luck into the explanation for why Jose is in trouble. The kid loves this series and I think he deserves some love back. So Jose... I hope you can figure out the real tribe politics going on soon before it's too late, and do something about it!
I'll skip back on over to the Jose love thread now.

Btw, that confessional from Daniel wasn't 77 minutes lol, it was like 12, idk why it says 77 it's probably just from the site he used to upload it.

Both Billy and Sami respect big players, Craig fills that quota and Jose is second fiddle to him. He didn't ready himself for a four tribe scenario and is just existing rather than securing himself.
His game rests on how much Dog Pac want to keep him over Jamie.

Those are some good points, Stephen. But I still say it's sloppy because he opened his mouth a little too much. He was too open with the idea of booting Billy or throwing Craig under the bus. Not knowing about the Dogpac or Billy and Sami being tight isn't the point at all. He will never know the full extent of people's relationships unless they fill him in. He's got to keep a tighter lip is all. He can still bounce back for sure. Nobody can be counted out until those votes are actually in.

I love how Jose refers to the elimination process as "boating" someone out of the game. As if we are directly placing these poor outcasts onto a barge set for the edge of the earth.
LOVE JOSE.

Jose's latest super positive/sad confessional was so adorable. I love this kid so much, he has one of the most beautiful souls/minds I have ever seen.
