I'm really interested in the Eagle/Rat dynamic. Former best friend goes awol then leaks your thoughts to a potential target... I can see why Eagle left Rat out of the Bunny vote. Rat’s pov isn’t stupid though, apparently he WAS still sending Eagle what he had, his activity had just dropped. The leak is still the key thing there, though, to me Trust is naturally lowered from the activity drop, and then you leak... now I still think Eagle’s move was a mistake most likely but I’m talking just in terms of the personal dynamic with Rat

Most of us were on board with Eagle's move when he was making it, so maybe it won't work out for him, but I do think it was defensible and it's nice to see aggressive play.
With that said, I don't think he took into account other people's perspectives enough. Like I do think the Rat is wrong about how terrible this move was for Eagle and why, but the terrible part is that Rat is having this reaction, and I think Eagle could have anticipated that.
Idk, I often say that if you're a threat, you should lean into that and be a threat, but it is true that people get especially scared of you as a threat if you pull one over on them in particular instead of being a threat in a general sense, so maybe the real problem with this move was the fact that Rat, Lion, and even Kestrel all feel like it's a "point" Eagle would have over them at FTC which solidifies him as the biggest threat. Which, of course, he already was, but in a more nebulous sort of way where maybe with the right final tribal, they'd be able to argue their case

I'm rooting for Rat just because I identify with him: having my ally blindsided by my other ally, and then being frustrated but needing to play nice because my position has just taken a massive hit.

i wonder if rat winning multiple challenges increases his threat level for basically no reason

The returnee coming back is a huge boon for Rat tbh, bc a Rat, Capy, returnee F3 is very much on the cards

Surely it depends who the returnee is?

My favorite left is Eagle, followed by Kestrel probably? But I don't especially want Kestrel to win because the player behind them has enough wins and I think it would mean more to Eagle.
