Behind this rock!” Never puts his wine down His dance after finding the idol He puts the hit on Davie Firemaking his nightmare Rick - Awkward (38.11) Koolaid man! David really liked Rick! (2) Pretty invisible early season  Voting out Chris: idiotic, instantly goes home because of it (4) Insists on working with coma (7) Showman at tribal (8) Just keeps getting lied to and blindsided over and over again Somehow totally on the bottom Catches them going through his bag Grinds out the idols  Removed from the strategy of the split  Constantly playing to the jury at tribal Going after Ron and Julie “You just trying to make me look stupid?!” Excited To See List Coach Christian Stephanie Rick Chrissy Mike  Ozzy Colby Angelina Jenna Cirie Aubry Win Equity List Rick Christian Stephanie Ozzy Coach Aubry Chrissy Jenna Mike Colby Cirie Angelina https://discord.gg/cyTbPtYd
