I am VERY dissatisfied with the two boots this episode. Don had a great spirit and was super dedicated, he basically got voted out as collateral damage which is truly the worst way to go, nothing he did at all. Just a back-up plan. Jake was voted out because of pre-existing relationships over someone who has not really done anything, Taylor can be great but she honestly deserved to be voted out. Both miss out on a swap which they could have really benefited from, and we lose two great characters.
Hoping these new tribes bring life to some of the greats like Adam, David and maybe even Ryan who were in a very precarious position in their tribes.

I'll make a full write up later but ....
I think Ahmae legitimate seduced Ryan on call to the point where he went from wanting Ricky out for having too many connections, to not only making Ahmae his number 1 9 minutes into a call(someone with a lot of connections) but including Ricky on a vote to get rid of Adam..

So a Tribe Swap happened! This really made the game more interesting. The way the tribes were split up, literally nobody is safe except for Billy who is on Exile island. Ill give my Thoughts on each new tribe.
Casaya-
Casaya is really interesting. Old La mina really lucked out with them now having the most people on the new tribe from the old ones. All 3 of them will 100% stick together. They just need one more person to have tribe majority. What’s left to see is if Caleb/Christen and AJ/Aman team up to get La Mina out. I personally believe Christen and Caleb will vibe more with Lee and the La Mina girls. AJ and Aman are probably going to be on the outs, especially with everyone knowing Billy is coming to them if they lose the first challenge. AJ is a really good player though, so he may be able to muster up something but they need to win the first challenge for sure.
Viveros-
Viveros is going to be a MESS. Literally most of the messy messy players ended up on one tribe. It also includes each old tribe’s next target if they had lost in Adam, David, and Ryan. So all three of them lucked out. Adam’s tribe was going to also throw the next challenge to get him out. With all that said, he is still in a terrible position as the first thing ricky and ahmae said to each other when they met up was how they need to get Adam out. I see him being the first boot for sure. David is the only one from his old tribe and he may be able to align himself somewhere and last for a couple rounds. I see Ricky and Ahmae running this tribe until merge tbh.

First Tribe Swap Happened!The new Casaya is AJ , Aman , Caleb , Christen , Dayle , Lee and Taylor The new Viveros is Adam , Ahmae , Alex , David , Ricky , Ryan , Trevor Billy is in exile island and received Immunity for this round.It's quite disappointing how 3-4 well known "good players" can take so much from gameplay and bring so much personal straight forward plans. With that being said, Viveros tribe will be extremely interesting tribe with all the past connections and drama within the tribe. Casaya has less drama and connections which allows more for interesting gameplay.
Adam - If anyone was to tell me that Adam would've been an underdog this season, I'd call BS on them. This kid barely went through anything in his original tribe compared with what he is going to face now. He is now in a tribe with Ricky , Ahmae and Trevor who have something against him. That makes 3/7 people in the tribe, it'd take the other four to make something happen - but the likelihood of that happening is not good. Regardless what Adam does, it will probably be used against him in his tribe. He is determined to be a Pre-Jury boot.
Ahmae - She is again in a great, powerful position. Anyone can argue that its because her past connections, but somehow people that didn't even know her are just giving them all this information 9 minutes into meeting her (Cough Cough, Ryan). Ahmae is now working with Trevor , Ricky , Ryan and Alex - Leaving David and Adam as the only two people who she's not directly aligned with. What is impressive is how open she is about connecting with all these people and having other people of her original tribe in the other tribe, no one is concerned about this beside Adam?! I can't point if she's playing a GREAT game or everyone else is just being oblivious. Also Ahmae really thinks Ricky is wanting her to be his number 1.
Alex - He has really disappointed me this season. Despite being active in competitions and overall tribe-calls/chat, he is socially off. He isn't making a lot of social connections and isn't really socially aware of what's going on. I hope he is just laying low now and start picking up strategically and socially eventually.
David - He is the ONLY person in his tribe that is looking at the tribe swap in a strategic overall game stand. He is aware that the Yellow's tribe is still in tact so if they let it stay in tact in a merge, they will just murder! Sadly, David's past games are coming to haunt him. I think he is set up for a pre-jury boot as well.
Ricky - I think Ricky is playing a very good game. I really hope he doesn't choose old connections over his new ones. But I totally see him using his old connection to help him reconnect to his new ones. If Ricky survives this tribe swap, which he is likely to, he is getting far in the merge.
Ryan - I think a tribe swap is new life to Ryan in this game. He is well aware that his position in his last tribe wasn't the best. I think his position in this tribe is better for sure, there's bigger fish to fry. However, I don't think he is seeing this tribe looking at the bigger picture. Ryan always seemed to be concerned about the amount of people Ricky knew in the game which is a legit reason to want someone out because Ricky would be the glue to many people. Somehow, after Ahmae revealed to Ryan all the people she know, including Ricky, he proceeded by wanting to make her his final 2... o.O Now he wants to join the plan to work with the entire tribe to get rid of David and Adam. I think that is a terrible mistake for Ryan. There is a possibility that he will make his way in to a point of getting far, but there's the risk that once those threats (less-connected) like David and Adam are gone, the well-connected people will be safe, he may become the next target for being the next least connected. Maybe his mentally is "if you can't beat them, join them"... But I don't know, in his confessionals there wasn't any hints that he is aware of how dangerous/connected Ahmae was. Did he get BOOTY BLIND?
Trevor - His game is extremely disappointing. I was really excited for what he was bringing to the season, I expected more than following "friendship". He may last long in the game because he doesn't come across as a threat to anyone. Don't get me wrong, he is a great and nice guy and all but gameplay wise, not all there. Trevor seems to be very shy and refuses to speak to people really. He is depending on Ahmae to pretty much keep him safe and tells her everything that other people tell him, instead of making connections on his own.

Have not heard much from the Casaya Tribe, alliance wise or confessional. Based on the swap, it is not looking good for Aj or Aman based on the original Casaya Tribe having all their members. It'd suck to lose them this early due to a tribe swap but I'll update about this tribe as I get more information!

Adam has such an outstanding spirit. The fact that he knows he is screwed but is still trying to go hard and make connections, and try to find a way in, and keep a positive attitude despite the fact so many people are already against him is truly something to admire. He is being painted as such a villain in both tribes, but clearly he is the hero we deserve. Was he sneaky? Yes. Was he ever mean or done anything "villainous"? Not at all.
Also, can someone tell Ahmae to not make 30 minute videos? I started, but then realized I was unwilling to waste half an hour of my life to hear her talk about stuff I can prob get from other videos.

Thoughts on the Casaya tribe before their tribal. It looks like it might be a explosive tribal. Lee seems to be going at this point and he is aware of it. I know he won’t go down without a fight so the tribal should be very entertaining
Christen- Absolutely LOVE how she’s handling this round. She is making what i believe is 100% the right move by getting rid of a red. This way once Billy joins the tribe, she will still be in the middle as the guys will now TRUST her and the remaining la mina will NEED her. If she took out a yellow, the Green and Yellow would both have 5 and would both be equal targets, number wise. I also love that she is standing her ground and not giving in to past game connections. Her standing her ground against the ‘I thought we were friends” and “We played together before” Bullshit is so awesome. Huge props to her for this round.
Caleb- I would give credit to Caleb as well for this move but i don’t know how much he even had to do with the decision. He has been contemplating quitting the game which is really disappointing. I had high hopes for Caleb but he has really regressed and turned into a dud recently. I hope its just him having a bad day and that he’ll be able to get over it and turn it around.
AJ- Coming in to this, i thought AJ was toast. He was the obvious target if they wanted to weaken Casaya. He built a connection with Christen and is using it to save himself this round. Great play by him. He has played the best game overall since the start.
ShasayAndStay alliance (Old La Mina) - These guys aren’t happy campers right now and understandably so. From their perspective it makes no sense to go after them when they’re already down to 4, but they needed to build connections and not just hope the others have the same mindset as them. Also, using the “But we are friends, HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME?’ strategy is sooo wack. This is a new game and you have to play the game with a fresh slate. Not just depend on the relationships you made in previous ones.
Aman- The way Aman plays the game is really entertaining tbh. He is definitely not playing a great game and his social skills are lacking but at least he is trying hard. I commend him for it.
