The idea is to add another layer to the game.
The original note was an advantage.
Jessica could block a vote.
This is where it gets really fun.
A secret advantage (which it is) shows up in Devons bag.
Anybody would assume this is a good thing.
And thats what Devon assumed.
But its all about perspective.
It is definitely an advantage for Jessica to be used against Devon.
She wisely wanted to protect her own and disrupt the others.
So what would have happened if Devon hadnotstopped you before voting to play what he thought was his advantage?
We almost never have a situation where a player attempts to cheat the game in any way.
It remains one of the unseen hallmarks of our show.
So in answer to your question and for future players… um, yes we are paying attention.
Jeff, let me ask you something: WHY CANT COLE KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT?!?
You think hes blabbing, but he thinks hes building trust.
I happen to agree with you (and Jessica) on this one its troubling.
I would imagine that this is something he may reconsider if he plays again.
Cole is a sharp guy, hes just making some early mistakes.
Its SO easy to backseat drive onSurvivor, and lets face it its fun, too!
But we have the advantage of watching the impact Coles blabbing is having on others.
He doesnt yet fully realize it.
If I aligned with Cole and I saw this behavior early, I would blindside him.
Im only playing to win and hes a liability.
I saw it all go down.
She gave the slightest reaction and he knew what to do.
Hes aggressive and he can be rude and he doesnt care who he hurts in the process.
But Joe is much sharper than people give him credit for.
It was one of the most subtle, well thought out plays and she fell right into it.
You get a taste of that next week.
Its a small but very powerful moment that I think will resonate with viewers.
