Interesting decision tonight by Laurel and Donathan. It's a tough call. Obviously they trust Wendell and Dom more, and from what we've seen I think that is correct; I think they can trust them. That is the easier almost certain path to the final four, but you're in the final four with them. If you flip now you probably break trust with what is left only to flip to the bottom two in a five person alliance that you don't trust nearly as much. But those people would be easier to beat.
For someone I found kind of grating at the beginning I've grown to really like Dom. He seems like a stand-up guy.

Since Wendel didn’t play his idol, I’m guessing the editing made things seem closer than they were. Maybe Laurel and Donathan are thinking a final three with them and Sea Bass? That would really be up for grabs.
While I’m no fan of the loved ones episodes, I liked the twist (giving up the reward for an advantage). Props to Wendel for going for it, even if if didn’t pay off for him.

Kellyn was sitting pretty up until last week and then her paranoia got to her. It seems like she's completely losing it out there and isn't playing a good game any longer. Saying that it means she'll probably win.

Well, there goes my theory that the finals would come down to Wendell and Chelsea with a non-entity sitting beside them.
I had those two and Dom in my likely winners-list but figured that Dom might get taken out first. At this point, he's got a clearer path, IMO. He's strong enough and clever enough to challenge Wendell. Donathan has proven smarter than a lot of previous contestants who lent idols or played them for someone else, but I don't see him as a serious threat for jury votes. Kellyn is feisty and capable, but it seems that she gets too emotional (or fatigue is playing a factor). Don't really see Angela or Laurel posing much of a threat in challenges or strategy at this point. If Sebastian can survive (!) somehow to Final Tribal, he's well-liked, so that is in his favor.

Really hoping Wendell or Donathan can pull out a victory as Kellyn is one of my least favorite Survivors ever.

I agree. Early on, I liked Kellyn very much...now I'm seeing why (possibly) her marriage failed. She's not a very nice person. On the other hand, I disliked Dom early on and am rooting for him now.
