Alright fam, Round 3. Some fixes to Cirie, Ozzy, and Jamie for Round 2. Anyways, Tom gets another CPP, mostly due to being an underdog and probably boot on a tribe containing Osten. Chelsea also gets a P instead of toneless because of her having to deal with her father in the hospital, and I wish him the best. Sierra got a CP3 and Kimmi got a MOR4, because I felt like Sierra provided more unique information and helped document the awfulness of Penedo well, while Kimmi echoed sentiments she had previously said. Ian gets an UTRN2 by merely existing, because he continually gets shit. Most surprisingly, Joaquin came out of the gate with a strong , albeit a tad boring, confessional which just threw shitloads of information at us. Crystal also got a CP3 for her insight, mostly because we hadn't seen much from her before. The ever wonderful Matty kept his CP streak alive, with a 5, and he's the closest thing to the primary narrator of the season. Jeff also had another good confessing round. Contenders 1. Matty - Matty has really risen up as the frontrunner in my eyes. His tribe loves him, he's a smart guy who has a good pulse on the game, and I think going into the swap he's in a good spot. He has the social skills to stay around and get someone like Tom on his side, or throw someone else under the bus and jump ship to Cirie/John. My only concern is his social skills might work against him, and make him a target if the Barras stick together and are able to get a majority.
2. Cirie - Cirie is number two for all the reasons Matty is number one, but I have more faith in Matty than I do Cirie. Amber and Sierra both played in Warriors with her, and Tom watched, and I'm not sure how that plays out. (Sidenote, Amber and Sierra hate each other and I think Sierra will learn who Amber is in an instant).
3. Jeff - Jeff rises up as the number one for Old Penedo, and number three overall. He and Chelsea emerged as the true power couple of Penedo, and now he's on a tribe with much bigger targets due to their own social ineptitude (Ian and Osten), so I can't see him going anywhere. He also has Chelsea with him still, so I think the two of them make it out unscathed.
4. Sierra - This one is questionable, because of her issues with Amber and the fact she's a Penedo on NuBarra. However, I see Sierra working as a swing vote between Novais and Barra, and I think they'll both see that too. Cirie and Matty could very easily go at each other, and they'd need Sierra's help to do it.
Kimmi was left off because of her low standing on OldBarra. John and Crystal both had Cirie as their number 1, while Ian and Joaquin have each other. She's lower on everyone's totem poles, and while this might pay off long term and make her less threatening, I'm scratching her out for now.

Netflix and the Steam Summer Sale have taken over my life, so odds are this will be a bit off. Feel free to suggest changes, I'll probably be taking a lot of them.

Ozzy and Stephanie swung the last vote I think one if not both should be cp. also I think all of barra have too high visibility. If it was an episode it would be all about penedo.

I figured I'd go for a more story-based round that focused on who the major players were in the episode, and not just confessional count. I'm also going to write-up the bigger players of the episode, or moments where the rating is debatable. Kimmi, our fallen hero, was someone who could've been contrived as a P or an N depending on if you're a Cirie/Kimmi fan or a Matty/Sierra fan. She had OTT tendencies, which were natural given the circumstances, but she was able to give us a lot of important information with minimal hostility, but there was hostility. It wasn't enough to justify a CPM, so she gets a plain CP4.
Amber wrote very little, but gets an UTRN2 for her general negativity about how boring everyone (besides Cirie) is, something we've seen that isn't really true. Her post-TC antics are going to be in the Round 7 Edgic.
Chelsea didn't do too much, and the attention was really on Barra. MOR2.
Cirie had some good insight, but it was pretty much destroyed with her reverting to "Ebonics" (1. I don't like the term Ebonics and 2. WHY THE FUCK DO TWINKY ASS WHITE BOYS TRY AND BE A ~B.LACK G.ODDESSssssss~. Seriously, it gets old as fuck when people try and play intentional OTT characters and try and make them "ghetto". If you're playing NaOnka to be NaOnka, that's different than turning any black person into a stereotype). Some OTT stuff about Ian also furthered this, but her post-TC lashing at Tom will be documented next round.
John gets an UTRN2, even though he didn't confess, due to NSPV for backstabbing his allies and joining with Sierra, who he knows out of game.
Matty gets a CPN5 for being the biggest person in the episode, and I think a lot of his decisions/judgement weren't the smartest. He's really starting to overplay, and we saw Tom, Sierra, and Kimmi all comment on it. He wasn't truly negative in his confessional, but his misinformation and the fact he took out Kimmi with Sierra, a close friend and John, someone Sierra knows, also helps earn him an N.
Sierra didn't do much, except for post conversations between she and Amber because they absolutely despise each other, and earns an N for it. I'll go more into my thoughts on this big brouhaha in the Episode 7 thread.
Tom got a CPP4, which was mostly because his long confessional at the end was recapping this round even though it took place in Round 7. We actually see Tom as the voice of reason, someone who tried to protect Kimmi from Sierra and the Goons. The P also came from Cirie going after him about Kimmi, which is ironic. He's the only Barra to come out of this looking better. I'm probably going to split the difference and give him a CPP3 both rounds due to protecting Kimmangel/fighting with Matty for this round and then his actual recap confessional coming from Round 7 + Cirie going after him.

Proboards deleted my longest write-up yet and I'm not going to write a new one. Here's a picture:
Make sense of the contenders chart, because seriously, it's a crapshoot.

A few quick things. Chelsea is TERRIBLE at predicting things. She's the James Miller of TSG, because any time she tries to guess how someone feels/what's going to happen in the game, she's off. Jeffbot seems like he'll win the whole thing at this point, but let's hope that someone can take out the robot built to win ORGs. Stephanie is fucking hilarious and actually is in a good spot. She isn't a glaring threat, she hasn't picked tons of fights, and she hasn't been practically inactive. Jamie's confessionals are actually getting really insightful and informative. Lots of good info there.

This took so long to catch up on. Contenders = Jeff and 3 other names because only one contender at the merge is Grade A bullshit. Tons of CP from the big players which is great, let's hope that someone can dethrone Jeff.
