Did Austin switch his egg? We revisit our predictions, react to the result, and admit how invested we’ve become. Then the final night brings family videos and plenty of debate about how reality television pulls on our emotions.
Bryce and Taylor discover that only one of them can reach the finals. Has Beans returns, Bryce makes his choice, and the remaining players face another tempting offer: take extra coins without knowing what they do. Was Gabrielle being greedy, defensive, or smart?
Spoiler warning: This recap covers Episode 8 and earlier episodes. During the coin discussion, we briefly get ahead of ourselves and discuss some early Episode 9 gameplay. The series winner is not revealed.
