Wow, didn't expect Spencer to stick with Jeremy and Tasha - I thought for sure he'd take the goats to the end and guarantee himself a million dollars.
I wonder if what won him over was Tasha's appeal to "what would the fans think?" which I thought was kind of a bogus argument. The fans voted Abi and Keith in just like they voted Tasha and Spencer in - and taking goats to the end is a valid strategy for winning - it means you got the best of every other big threat in the game and outlasted them all, placing yourself at the finals with people who didn't play. If you're making the argument that the jury should value strategy over who they like the best when they vote for the winner, sitting at the end with goats is a winning strategy and it does take work to make that happen.

Tasha's swimming emergency was scary. I'm really glad that the couple big medical interventions this season haven't meant the players have to go home; I really hate to see players medivac'd.
Spencer's puzzle win was incredible! I need to rewatch that part of the episode because it looked like he just walked up to the board and placed every piece correctly the first time.
I'm going to predict here and now that Jeremy and Kelly with both play their idols at the same tribal and that it will cancel out all the votes cast and they'll have to revote. And I'm really wondering if this happens at the final five rather than the final six. No real reason for that though, just thinking that big moves tend to happen at the odd-numbers, and it would make for a really exciting final chance to play the idols.
