Okay I have to talk about Lee for a hot sec.
First- he was left out of a vote so it's obviously okay to feel bad about that. They had their own reasons to get rid of Miranda instead of him, but it's ok to feel icky about the move to take out her instead of him if he was their main target.
As he mentioned, he may have successfully spooked them that he has an idol- though I'm not entirely sure why Miranda was the boot of a 3-2 vote split if that was the case.
However, the personal attacks are too far. His latest confessional is a disaster of a paradox. He hypocritically states several times that this is just a game and that he's stirring up shit just "for the drama", but some of the shit talk occurred before he was even blindsided. For example, with Casey and the unemployed comment- this is a particularly sensitive time for that topic, so going there with his statements is far outside the game and inappropriate.
He continues to talk about how it's just a game, but then makes things personal with Louise and Juju. Lee, if you're reading this- do you really not see how backwards this is? Try looking at this from a different lens, one of their perspectives, and you might be able to understand.
As an audience member, we want to see drama, sure- but not the kind that leaves people hurt, and definitely not the kind that is "manufactured" for "the audience" at the expense of the other players' morale.
Being the "villain" just because people don't buy his shit (which they haven't all season, btw) and then essentially flopping the challenge makes it seem like he is quitting and trying to put an "I'm oppressed" spin on it. He made his bed- but I sincerely hope that he can re-frame his bias and treat all of the players like the humans that they are.

basically echo what tom said - all i wanna say on Lee’s behavior is that is a straight up ASS and doing this doesn’t help his game at all, he’s practically given up and digging himself in a hole when he is this close to a possible merge and anything could happen and you’re never out until you’re out - so who is the strategic idiot now?
also, obvi upset at miranda going at his expense too, but if he reads this and wants to know why these ppl weren’t strategic idiots - they put the 3 on miranda was bc they could see through his idol bluffing and thought miranda more likely had it, so they voted her to flush it. duh. also - you’re so out of it you don’t get this was literally abby’s plan so you’d think she was left out too. if you’re fully game botting and proposing a 3-2-2 in several different ways to everyone in this tribe and dont tell your ppl what you’re doing you’re gonna look messy af. like idk how you expect to have trust w ppl when you don’t have the emotional and social bonds and are all over the place. your not the hot shit you think you are.
the people on this tribe are LOVELY, ENTERTAINING, and HILARIOUS, when right now at least, you’re def not. ratings are going down bruh! this audience member has been over you since the start.

Have had a very chaotic week and haven't gotten around to writing my thoughts, so I recorded them.

It’s been a week and I still think about “Fuck you Lee and I’m not unemployed”... everyday.
oh, and Abby didn’t throw the scavenger hunt (the most fun challenges of ALL fun challenges) for everyone thinking it might’ve been her mastermind plan. I think she just straight up didn’t care, and for that reason, I no longer stan her! (also since she’s fake to Marissa grr)
