Mike, I don't think is winning. He's far too likable and bad at challenges to be able to make it to the end, not to mention his pretty terrible edit so far. Like, when he was on Soko, he had ZERO content, except for being confronted by Joe. Not very winner-ish. Lol Tozza it's a lot of reasons why Chrissy has a bad winner edit, and she's definitely the FTC loser archetype. I'd say she'll be the runner-up but we'll see. Her and Ryan's arrogance is clearly seen in their confessionals, for many episodes, patronizing other players and making themselves something their not. That together with their overbearing screentime make them very unlikable to many people, especially Ryan.

Mike might suck at challenges but we saw some winners already who turn it up towards the end with one or two challenges and suddenly they made it. Also, you don't always need to go by the standard, by the books "winner edit", and it would be nice to see someone you wouldn't expect to win. Make it less predictable, which this season has done greatly.

Anyway, few things about the episode:

- Desi tearing up at the end made me very sad for her. I feel like her edit and screentime didn't do her justice. Out of everyone who went so far, she's the one I cared most for, just for being a great person in general. To add salt to the wound, Ryan HAD to roll his eyes and make faces several times during the episode when she talked.

- Ben didn't struck me as cocky or whiny as I saw some people here think that. Him saying he doesn't like someone in a confessional does NOT equal being cocky, come on. He admitted to his anger and apologized for it at tribal. Unlike Ryan or Chrissy, who would never own up to their faults, he does. While playing as good as them, if not more. That's what makes him likable to me. Along with Mike, Devon and almost Lauren. Her redheads comments, though minor, are the only thing that holding me from loving her completely.

- Ryan having the idol is disgusting. Although, when I saw that preview I screamed. And jumped. And started praying in my head. Amen.
