Here is my favorite move that you did NOT get to see on the show (don鈥檛 tell everyone I鈥檓 giving you all this behind the scenes scoop):
At tribal council, in the most elegant, well-spoken argument, Shirin went off on So for lying and throwing her under the bus. Apparently, there was a lot of back and forth at camp and So was particularly surprised and thrown off balance when Shirin came at her this way. Once Shirin鈥檚 tirade was over, it was clear that So was beaten. Then, Carolyn came in for the kill.
What I gleaned from watching the first tribal council in which So was voted out, was that Shirin is a major threat in this game. If she and Carolyn team up, there鈥檚 no stopping this power couple.
patrick319 why do you think they didnt show shirins going off on so, when they showed carolyns???? do they want like carolyn to look like the OTT one while shirin is the more calm, cool and collected one???
blueu22 I have no idea how to read the Shirin/Carolyn edit. Regardless of what placing Carolyn gets, she had to be highly visible in the premiere because of her conflicting storyline with So and because she finds an Idol on top of that. Carolyn's portrayal isn't necessarily indicative of how far she goes. She can easily be pre-merge and I fear she will.
I think Shirin got mostly a positive edit. She barely got any flack for fucking up the challenge. She didn't even get a post-challenge confessional.
