I thought tonight was another good episode. I wasn't the biggest fan of the premiere to start this season off but the last two episodes were enjoyable so I'm currently high on this season.
I loved Michael's lie at Tribal even though him announcing to the tribe that the Malolo's were going to vote for Bradley really didn't give the other former Naviti's any incentive to flip. Why flip if you know who the Malolo's are voting for? But Michael did his best and I appreciated his fight. He's my personal winner of the episode. I liked Brendan but he was kind of boring and Bradley has greater downfall potential so I was pleased with the end result.
On Naviti, I'm glad we saw more from Laurel. I haven't been the biggest Laurel fan this season and I still find her a bit too gamebotty for my taste, but I'm always open to seeing more from her. Her and Donathan are becoming the potential swing votes on the tribe especially if the Malolo4 + Chris & Angela do decide to split their votes between Domenick and Wendell. If Naviti go to Tribal I do think Chris gets sent home because the edit is suggesting that Domenick "wins the war" between the two of them, and Chris leaving will probably solidify Laurel as a trusted ally of Domenick's. I think Donathan would have room to be more flexible in his gameplay though no matter who goes home.
