That episode would have been perfect had it been Dale voted out over Kelley. OH JACLYN WHY DIDN'T YOU VOTE FOR DALE?? It's okay though because I forgive you. Now I'm just praying Jaclyn merges so both blondes aren't stereotypically pre-merged after we had high hopes for both the blondes after the last episode. But now that one is down, there's only one to go, and I bet Jeff Probst would be willing to stick a dagger in her knee so she can be medically evacuated so Probst has Jon all to himself to fan-girl over *sigh*
But speaking of Jaclyn, HOLY AIRTIME!!! Jaclyn getting so much airtime was odd lmao, but then again, her and Jon had to get a lot of focus as they were the swing votes, but seeing insight from Jaclyn and going through her thought process was a lot of fun. I honestly hope this keeps up and Jaclyn goes deep into the merge. I don't want to see her either medically evacuated or quit as many have speculated. But I think the fact that her edit has gotten progressively stronger might be indicative that she doesn't exit the game due to severe circumstances. If she quit, or got taken out due to injury, wouldn't her edit get weaker? But the fact that she got her second strong episode this late into the game with a quit still looming makes me second guess whether Jaclyn really is the person who quits/gets taken out. But overall, good episode for Jaclyn.
Also a great episode for Missy. We needed a Missy episode for her to still be considered in the running, and we got it. Missy totally got the stereotypical hag edit. But thinking about Missy's entire edit, the common theme to her edit has been the protection of her daughter.
Honestly, that is all we have from Missy. For instance, take Missy not wanting to battle Baylor in that one immunity challenge because of her busted lip. And this episode we saw Missy get all self-defensive of Baylor after finding out Dale had wanted her out. I think this might be leading up to either of two things:
a) Baylor votes Missy out and Missy comes out the fool
or b) Missy finally builds up enough will and confidence to shockingly go against her daughter, and vote her out
IMO, the chances of a Laura/Ciera-like situation happening again is slim. I honestly don't see loved ones voting loved ones out, but given Missy's content, which has solely been based off her wanting to protect Baylor, I could totally see either of those two things occurring to finish her storyline. Either her protection of Baylor costs her, or it's something she learns to leave behind to further her game by voting Baylor out.
As for everyone else, I was also intrigued by Natalie, despite her not having gotten any confessionals. I honestly think Jeremy/Natalie/Julie could be this years Tyson/Gervase/Monica, with Julie being dragged along as Jeremy & Natalie's "lapdog". And concerning the Alec situation, I do think Alec flips and is the reason Reed gets the boot as his edit continues to remain non-existant. And about the singles alliance, I could totally see Dale teaming up with them at the merge, and maybe Josh as well if Reed is voted out? Holy shit that would be awful @.@, but I'm fine with a Jeremy/Natalie/Julie Final 3, despite it being a little predictable.

"I honestly think Jeremy/Natalie/Julie could be this years Tyson/Gervase/Monica"
I can't remember who orginal told me this but I think baylor gets med evact since they keep showing her picking her scabs so maybe one gets infected and missy quits to be with her. Althought I think baylor would vote out missy I'd be shocked if missy voted her out. The difference in those 2 vs laura is that laura could potentially win the game where I don't think missy would be a threat so I don't see baylor taking her out unless she is brainwashed.
