Was doing a rewatch of Marquesas (AMAZING season so far) and I just watched an enthralling hour of TV.

In one end, it is absolutely heartwarming to see Maraamu finally win something. To hear the HAW HAW of Kathy, to see poor Gina finally smile, and for the whole tribe to be happy for a change.

And in the other hand, it was absolutely horrifying to see John, most likely consumed by paranoia and self-interest, target probably one of the purest, kind, and overall awesome contestants so far in Gabriel Cade. Dude just wanted to hang out with his new friends. And seeing John get snippy and cutting Gabe off when they try to talk strategy is just, ughhh, so disheartening. Sure, maybe a good move game-wise, but in more ways than one, it feels like a gut punch. To Rotu, to Paschal and Neleh, and to the audience. Damn.
