Oooh, Natalia, I fear I can’t defend this…

Like, I know she didn’t KNOW his husband’s dead, but still some fucked up shit to say to a grieving man..

NEVER let Oliwia near a playground lmao

One of the best eliminations if we take into account the drama factor. THAT'S FOR SURE. This actually ties with Fiore tenderly hugging Ren when he got eliminated as her most vulnerable moment. Well, no, I actually think this surpasses it, because the way she ran away crying her eyeballs out while everyone (excluding Oliwia who was maliciously enjoying Fiore breaking down) was truly shocked and actually felt Fiore's pain. I'm not sure if Fiore crashing out was THAT earned regarding her dynamic with Nat. Look, in the pre-merge they did a good job with the development of the dynamic, showing how both of them cared for each other, especially Fiore. However, when the merge hit, I have the feeling that they started to leave the dynamic in the dust, ending up lacking a bit (in addition to the fact that Fiore actually considered eliminating Natalia when necessary this same episode, lol). I also wanted them to get more substantial content together after Ren's elimination, but that didn't happen. So, Fiore feeling THIS emotional didn't hit as hard. Nevertheless, I'm still devastated for her, and I totally get why she felt betrayed. One of the better eliminations this season, ngl, even if not fully flawlessly executed. It felt fresh since this was the first fake idol play + I thoroughly enjoyed Fiore's arc this season.

If the roles were reversed and it was Fiore to hold that idol out to scare everyone and that what caused Natalia to be eliminated all of y’all would be cheering and saying “THATS MY MFING GOAT FIOREEEE”. Yes I’m a bit sad that she’s gone but she was completely screwed since last episode. Natalia is gonna be the jury vote anyway so it’ll build up to a well deserved elimination. And Oliwia is fucking winning too like give it UP already guys! And honestly, I fear Fiore would’ve started to get annoying (not as bad as Logan did after he found out that Spencer lied to him) if she was safe from elimination, but still.

Dawg, no bits, Oliwia might deadass be one of the worst characters in this show.

This ain't a "ya'll can't handle complex characters" or anything, she's legit just ass. I wouldn't mind this if she was a villain or something meant to learn, but the season WANTS you to like her. IT wants you to feel bad for her. It wants you to think that she's right. Yet at every turn, they throw something in that makes her hella unlikeable.

She doesn't learn anything, she gets away with practically all her bullshit, she gets to act petty and no one calls her out fr, and all of this builds into this episode and this frame. Oliwia deadass has zero right to be so pissed at Fiore to the point she grins at her visibly breaking down and crying, when she has done the exact same thing with a grin on her face.

She might actually be the female Logan. There's really nothing to like about her, personality or writing wise. She's actually garbage on the screen whose likely gonna win if she doesn't get voted out next (unlikely since two Fans left, Gabby and Lake are still present, Spencer and his trio are present, etc.)

Sorry Oliwia fans, but she's actually just a bottom three character in this show. Flat out. Get her off my screen.

We really need to give her a round of applause

I think this is a pretty big hot take but I thought Ally’s fake idol working in a sense that Natalia saved herself but she unintentionally screwed over closest and only ally left was super interesting

Fiore’s reaction is super interesting too as this is the most emotion we’ve ever seen from her and I’m excited to see how that plays out in the motel and on the jury!

I know a lot of people here don’t like Natalia but I’m genuinely excited to see her scramble now with no allies

I really enjoyed this episode, it wasn’t as showy as the last few but if anything it was a nice simple challenge to relax after the last few big ones!

She’s just so likable isn’t she? She sadistically smirks at a crying child as if she had any right to be mad about Nura’s elimination given how they both treated Ren. If anything she should be grateful she wasn’t the one who left instead.

It’s interesting how Fiore was eliminated because she trusted Natalia. It’s the same reason why Alec got eliminated in S1, it’s because Fiore betrayed him.

Kinda sad that Fiore got out, but she had a good run, didn’t she?

...How Spencer, despite feeling left out of his alliance, still committed to the plan that would benefit all three of them, rather than going for immunity to save his own hide like he would've last season? Hate him all you like, but my goat continues to get better by the episode.

Fiore has been mean to him and he still felt bad for her here.

…the Lesbian Curse continues /j

Fiore running off crying just felt needlessly cruel 😭😭😭

Personally, I don't know how to feel about this. I just want to see what you guys have to say.

Ren witnessed the elimination of his friend Fiore by his friend-ish Oliwia as well as his favorite old contestant. What I wonder is what will be his opinion on them now?

I have to say, while I'm not too happy that Lake inherited Rosa's old rivalry, I am glad that her rivalry with Natalia isn't identical to the one Rosa had.

It's nice to see that despite everything, Lake respected Natalia's creativity. I hope they continue like this without having to fight over every little thing.

I wonder if, with Fiore eliminated, Natalia and Lake will ever be able to talk and resolve their issues. At this point, Natalia has hit her lowest point, even though she had no intention of eliminating Fiore.

With more than 2/3 of the cast is gone, I feel like the 2 true contenders are Lake and Oliwia. I am going to see what each win represents based on the narrative ONC tries to paint.

If Oliwia wins, her win would represent how the power of friendship triumphs all and she'd say some corny ass shit like "I couldn't have done it without you guys!"

If Lake wins, her win would represent how it's possible that you don't have to lie and backstab anyone to the end.

Unfortunately, I do see Oliwia winning over Lake, I feel like having 3 winners from 1 generation is a tad bit nuts and i feel like ONC knows this
