Him calling Drea “aggressive” despite her calm and measured approach to the conversation was not a good look. Of course, Jonathan’s reaction at Tribal Council is what stands out the clearest. It seemed likely that would eventually come to a head. He was trying to keep his temper and ego in check. We’ve known since the pre-merge that Jonathan was biting his tongue around his tribemates, particularly around Lindsay and Maryanne. The heel turn might have come as a surprise on the surface, but there have been these subtle underlying hints as we’ve covered in previous weeks. This episode was a real downturn, to the point where I feel confident ruling him out of winner contention. Jonathan - As I said last week regarding Jonathan’s edit, “I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop.” Well, here it was. Reminder, the nine players that received intro confessionals in the first episode were: Jonathan, Drea, Omar, Lydia (full confessionals), Daniel, Marya, Lindsay, Hai, and Mike (one line confessionals). Let’s take a deeper look at the character edits. Other players dropped in stock, some stayed steady, and others began to rise. In the end, Drea won the battle with Tori, even bringing up how Tori had been gunning for her since Ika at Tribal. Rocksroy’s rigid, old-school gameplay was his ultimate undoing, while Tori was ousted because she wasn’t as liked or trusted as Lindsay.

And Lindsay received a key focus that brought to mind a previous Survivor winner (I’ll get into that more in the individual write-ups). Jonathan’s edit took a downturn as he was shown to be bullheaded and a lousy listener. Both Drea and Maryanne came across as strong women with complex thoughts and feelings. In terms of Edgic, there were things during this scene that expanded upon the character stories and pointed at potential foreshadowing. It was a moment bigger than the game, and I’m glad the edit gave it the focus it deserved.
The discussion that took place at the episode’s second Tribal and the words spoken by Drea and Maryanne were deeply important. While I will try to keep things focused on the edit, it would be a disservice not to touch on the events of Tribal Council. While intended as a condensed version of Edgic, for this season, I will be including my ratings for each castaway at the end of the article. Hello all, welcome back to the Edit Bay! This weekly feature takes a dive into the edit of the latest Survivor episode, analyzing the key stories, main characters, and top winner contenders.
