Three pro poker players, three bad players.
The worst one being Garret.
HOW RUDE!
Anna was a good player who got screwed by a swap
I believe it’s To Tang and Matsing.. 😕
Weren’t Jim, Jean-Robert, and Garrett all poker players? So Anna would be the 4th?
Jim was classed as a “medical marijuana dispenser” on Survivor.
Who was the other poker player besides Garret.
Has there been a season prior that has had so many consecutive women voted out? Apart from Darnell in week one, it’s been all women. Caleb was taken out, so doesn’t count.
The first five people voted off in Fiji were all women, as well as the first four in Gabon and Panama.
Hmm, not sure I’d agree that Anna thought she had the majority. She thought she might survive through an idol play with a minority or at best an even split.
I agree with you. Unless there is something I don’t know. The plan was a 3-3 split vote for Peter and Anna. Tai would play his idol for Anna sending Peter home.
3-3 is a tie, not a majority.
