Joint Tribal DELIVERED
In the end, Palma outplayed Cabrera. Cabrera went for the obvious target (Jake) and missed. Palma knew to not go for the obvious target (David) and came out on top. Cabrera could have played that SO MUCH BETTER.

Palma (the homo tribe)
Jeff is in the best spot in this tribe because Lamont and Jake are messy af. I'm not putting Sean at the top because he is still involved in the whole throwing the challenge bit - Jeff has somehow managed to stay above the fray without having his name thrown out as a target. FYI - Jake and company want to throw the challenge to get Lamont out because of the little stunt he pulled with Sean and Jake after the joint tribal council. Additionally, I think Jeff will be able to go back to David and Ashley while making Jake think that he's with them. Jeff will make the merge and be a key player in how things go down in the early rounds of the merge.
Sean threw a hinky vote to Lamont and somehow has everyone convinced that Lamont voted for himself. He also convinced Lamont that he wasn't the vote. Now the target is on Lamont and it all started with the hinky vote. After the joint tribal council Jake told Lamont he thought Sean voted for Lamont and they needed to get rid of Sean, so Lamont made a group call to the tribe chat and made Jake confront Sean about the hinky vote... or something like that, I was asleep, this was at 3am. Sean has been able to expertly maneuver his way through the mess he created, yet again, and has Jake eating out of the palm of his hand. I said it before, Sean will take out another big player before he goes out, and its looking like it will be Jake. Also, Brian and Sean have managed to make Jennifer and Duke on the other side think that they are running things in new palma. Old Palma might be strong at the merge.
Brian is surprisingly playing a good game at the swap. He has made a solid alliance with Jake and April, made a decent connection with Jeff, and still has his connection with Sean, Jennifer, and Duke. It definitely helps they sent Duke nest watching yesterday and are sending Jennifer today. Jennifer and Duke already mentioned how they see this as a sign that Sean and Brian still have their backs. If they can find their way back to each other at the merge, they will have a lot of power. Brian by no means will win this game, but I can see him getting far at the merge and causing trouble. He said it to everyone at the beginning, alliances are fleeting and are only good until you don't need them anymore, not sure why they are trusting him at all.
Jake's ego got way too inflated when he played that idol right at joint tribal that he's forgetting to cover all his bases and is playing way too messy. This is the beginning of Jake's downward spiral. He should have gone under the radar after that idol play, but instead he's greedy with power and trying to run everything. You need to hide Jake! Unfortunately, there's no one to hide behind... Bodhi, Jordan, and Kaylee are gone and there's no way to hide behind April or Logan.
April NEEDS TO STOP PLAYING JAKE'S GAME. She hasn't really tried to make any personal connections with anyone else in new Palma outside of the group chats Jake adds her to. She's upset she played her idol when she did not need to, but girl, David was saying PINEAPPLE PINEAPPLE, and that was you, so you definitely should have played your idol, even if it did change to Strawberry (Jake) during tribal.
Lamont... overplayer of the swap. The little stunt with Sean and Jake was NOT a good look. He OVERREACTED to the hinky vote big time. This is where you can see the growth in Kaylee's game. She did not overreact when Brian voted for her, she instead tried working with him. Lamont just couldn't take the heat. Also look at Sean, Sean's name was thrown out by Jake after joint tribal, Lamont tells Sean, and still Sean is working with Jake. You need to understand that in this game 1. your name will be thrown out, and 2. you will get votes, both which are FINE. When they happen, you need to go into game mode and repair those relationships, not blow up and paint a huge target on your back to the point people want to throw the challenge to get you OUT. Unless a miracle happens, or Sean gets bored with Jake's pretty face, Lamont is the next one out.

Cabrera
David is STILL at the top of this tribe. He got them to send TWO Dragos nest watching... iconic. This is the real winner contender this season, and what a redemption that would be if he pulls it off. He has worked to get Jenn F on his side, and has Ashley as a loyal ally. He also has Jeff. I think unfortunately he will be in the minority at the merge if Lamont goes out the door, and this will be where he will need to work hard to survive, and if he does, he will win this game.
Ashley SHOULD have gone home at the joint tribal. She was the plan, but then people got confused when Lamont played music (music was code for change the plan) and they switched their votes to Amber. Lamont wasn't trying to change the plan, he was playing Lil Wayne because David had just been to Lil Wayne concert and was trying to signal to David that he was safe... makes total sense. So Ashley survived by one vote because Palma got confused LMAO. Still, she is in a good position in Cabrera and has a solid alliance with David who she can hide behind.
Jenn F has put in the work with David and it is paying off. It also helps that Jenn C is overplaying again and sketching David and Ashley out. So based on the circumstances, and her connection with David, she's in really good spot again. Jake thinks she betrayed him, but she didnt really have another choice. I think she'll do a good job at explaining this to Jake, but he's so set on his ways that he won't believe her and go after her.
Duke is laying low af. Granted, he IS playing another game right now and in the final 3 for that game, so I think he's just distracted and paying more attention to that game right now. But his finale is on Sunday so I think his game will ramp up then. Either way, he's in a good spot. Not at the top, and not at the bottom. No one is targeting Duke right now.
Jennifer C is back to her old Palma ways. She is overplaying and sketching people out. She had made a good solid alliance with David and Ashley, but she overplayed her hand and now they are moving away from her and towards the more calm and collected Jenn F. If she becomes aware of this shift, it will actually help her game and hurt David/Ashley because she will reunite with Sean and Brian at the merge and she'll join Jake's group in the majority.
Logan just hasn't been able to make a good connection with anyone on this tribe. Poor guy, he's such a sweetheart, he needs to reunite with Jake and April pronto. Thankfully they are throwing the challenge to save him and vote Lamont out, otherwise he would not be making the merge.
