Round 17

I personally would love an Urbosa win just because she really went for it this game. Her decisions have lead her to this point and I would be very excited to see a Revali vs Mipha vs Urbosa finale because I think it would really be just fascinating over all to see who the jury puts up for. Will they vote the underdog who kinda just was there and lucky, but was social with everyone? Will they vote for the person who returned after being idoled out and slid underneath people's radars, but misplayed two idols and generally hasn't actually executed a specific move? Will they vote for someone who went in on a gamble during the auction and came out victorious along with an unprecedented number of endgame immunity wins, but whose social game is seen as lacking and generally a lot of people aren't sure about? I think it would make for a much more exciting finale.

I think if Kohga makes it...he's just going to win, which although he's played a much better game than I originally gave him credit for, I don't think it will be as interesting of a finale because I think he beats any of the other three.

But I could be wrong! I've been wrong before haha. Just see my epically failure of a prediction list

I would be satisfied with any of these winners. They've all played really hard in a variety of ways, and I can not wait to see what they all bring to the end game here. I don't think any of them just cleansweeps, and it's gonna be a fight, and I am here for it.

Also I think giving Urbosa credit for the auction and framing it as some sort of move on her part is kind of weak...like yeah, you should try for items and she bid well, but it's impossible to know what other people are going to bid and she got really, really lucky. With items, it's more about how well you use them than the mere fact that you have them, and with her items, honestly in the grand scheme of things they impacted nothing, apart from saving Epona for one round and potentially giving her a path to the end without winning final Immunity, but Khoga winning the last IC rendered that totally irrelevant. I guess she prevented other people from having them, but idk, I don't think her use of them was that interesting or impressive.

I really dislike the characterization of her making some huge move in the auction though, like...she did what any reasonable person who didn't feel in immediate danger should have done in that situation, and luckily for her it worked, but she would be here anyway, like it's her Immunity wins and idol play (even though she didn't play it, if she didn't have it she would have gone last round) that got her to this point, so the auction is kind of a moot point, or if anything a negative because of the missed opportunities.

I do think she would be a worthy winner, but the trait I like most about her, how perceptive she is, honestly had a relatively small impact on the game and I get why the Jury doesn't see it and thinks she's just Mike Holloway.

Revali is correct, jigsaw for final immunity is anti-fun.
Though I am amused that he starts with 'I see a jigsaw and I know I'm not winning' when that's the exact challenge that saved him Round One.

Also if you're someone who's bad at puzzles, what are you supposed to do to prepare? Practice jigsaw puzzles a lot? Be more goaty so that people will take you? I guess you could vote off the people who are best a puzzles, but that only goes so far. I don't think I could come up with three people on all of MS I'd feel confident I could beat in a jigsaw, let only three people in a specific game who also need to be the people I want in my F4.
