Not sure how I feel about this twist yet. Okay, so the tribes being jumbled every round is very similar to how the season in India was designed, but the inclusion of so many magical idols kind of convolutes things a little too much... almost to the point where this is not quite Survivor. There is too much to keep track of immediately and I am a little worried that it could force overly passive play from people who are not willing to step out into the light for fear of earning a target on their backs. I feel as though either one of the twists function well enough on their own and not piggybacking off each other.
But...
... I have not had time to go and read through everything happening this round and there might be some key points I am missing with the twist. I also have not yet had enough time to think up scenarios where I would use the twist to entrap my foes and then how to use the twist to worm my way out of the situation if the roles were reversed - so my opinions may change later.
Either way, a twist is only as strong as the players who are forced to play through them. These guys could cop out with safe and boring strategies, or some could really take it and run with it, provided it is balanced enough for them to do so.

Honestly, I don't know how I feel about Taylor leaving this round. I want him to stay versus someone like Charlie who is absolutely the worst. However, Taylor played his cards WAY too hard and early thus sealing his fate. I guess the moral of the story is that even if you have a sexy accent you can't be saved.

I really like this twist! Kind of reminds me of the Challenge this season where the strongest performers in the challenge are safe and the weaker go off for possible elimination. As for who is going to get out, there is no question it will be either Charlie or Taylor, most likely Taylor. I wish it was Charlie but I don't mind that Taylor is going

I really like Taylor but he made his bed and now he's gotta go lay in it. You couldn't have scripted all of this any better TBH.
Thoughts:
I'm in LOVE with Jared. The guy is so sharp, sassy and just on the ball. He tells it like it is and doesn't hold back but he has heart and he has game. He's an uber threat but he owns it and he's playing the social game in a way that few are capable of pulling off. I LOVE how he handled Taylor and I love how he's thinking of contingency plans in case of a HII.
Also really loving Jacob. The way he called out Katie in his most recent confessional was amazing. What your BI is, seems like such a stupid thing to lie about at this point, especially when Katie's specific BI isn't anything too good or too bad. And if you're gonna be stupid enough to lie then at least make your lie believable. SMH.
I love VicTina BUT Vic's JFrey bashing has got to stop. I can't wait to see Jess strike when the time is right. She's way smarter than they know. Go JFrey!
The Nikki hate by certain people is stupid. So glad that the haters couldn't get her... for now.
Joanne falling ass backwards into the role of Jacmel sweetheart LOL <3.
Yapp is a scary good liar.

This is so crazy! I love it though. Literally anything can happen any round now with all these crazy idols. I don't feel bad for Taylor leaving. He overplayed this round and was cocky and #1 rule is never be cocky in survivor. Like, don't people say that enough that you think people would finally learn it? #lovejoanne Kurtis and I couldn't disagree more. I didn't lose cause of my cockiness it was because of my stupidity. Stupidity is the #1 rule in Survivor. Don't be a dumb ass. Just ask Bobby-Bob. Heyo!!!!!!!! Even dumber: Joanne saying her idol is useless. Not even Trevor is that stupid. HEYO AGAIN!!!!!! Lots of shade tonight from "ya boy".

Yapp is my hero <3 So far the best at manipulating this season and I can't wait to see him continue it and hopefully go all the way and win Sad that Taylor is going though, regardless of overplaying I really like him and I absolutely loathe Charlie. Still Yapp/Katie/Jacob ftw!

My contribution today is called: stop playing survivor with your genitals, people!!! Your brain has a function besides keeping your skull from collapsing and making your ears slam together.
Amanda – needs to pull her head out of Katie’s butt and work on other relationships. 4 is not a majority. Charlie – FFS I can’t even. Cristine – she’s oooked out by Vic, but she seems to be closer to Taylor. She’s making a huge mistake hitching her wagon to that star. Looks like she might not really have a grasp on what is really going on. Derek – Blah blah blah…he’s caught up in Taylor and it’s going to be bad for him. Hodges - <3 I really want him to do well. He’s so dang adorable, and he’s playing so well. He wants to make a mix tape!!! Bless! Jacob – completely on the outs. Targeting Jared??? Jared - seems to be putting things together. Merge/not merge. I really like the hostage reference. He’s thinking about how to use the situation, other than to just be vengeful. Jessica - I’m sorry, I can’t listen to her voice. It grates on my nerves worse than the singer from the Fine Young Cannibals. Joanne – I really want to like her. I like that she’s excited about the game. I like that she seems to be playing her own game. I just… eh. Katie – I just…she’s aligned with Charlie and she doesn’t even understand what power she holds in that idol! She can give it to someone else to protect her alliance, she can use it herself. How could it possibly be bad? Nikki – Smart. Katie is great at double reverse psychology, but it looks like Nikki sees through it. However, she’s got Nikki’s head spinning, so it looks like it might work. 0_0 Taylor – I was all prepared to feel bad for him, then he posted a video making fun of Jared. Blah. Done. Vic – Who’d have thought from his interview that he’d be a dancer and that he’d be all Audrey about his idol??? BAHAHAHAHA He’s like a combination of Dru and Audrey! OH NO…I hope he doesn’t fall for Katie’s bullshit. Yapp - Here’s a note for Charlie: if YAPP thinks you’re not very bright…wow. Then Yapp said something about lying to Taylor and playing pokemon with Jacob. Then, some talk about throwing challenges. And we all know how I feel about throwing challenges. HRMPH.
