As far as I can tell (which might be a bit inaccurate as I haven't been reading as much as I usually do), Nadiya/Jac/Val are still at the center, while Dale is involved in that (strongly connected to Nadiya specifically) and Joaquin is included as well (more strongly connected to Dale to anyone else, iirc). I don't have a good read on Reed (ha) and it feels like nobody really talks to So much (Joaquin more than anyone else maybe? Reed?).
I get the impression Reed and So are the outsiders but Val is constantly targeted. Meanwhile, Joaq has been targeted from the other side (for having believed he has an idol when he doesn't) and yet has gotten off scot-free.

Still, as a spectator: clusterfuck > mastermind win. ![icon_razz icon_razz](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
I am always afraid to pick the obvious person to win because someone has to take a shot at them, right? It can't be that easy for Nadiya so I don't think she is my winner pick at this point despite being the frontrunner. I actually think Joaquin will win at this point.
And, barring any big moves from here out, I'd be underwhelmed by anyone minus Nadiya or Joaquin.

I think he's been a dead-man walking for a few rounds now and they (Nadiya/Jaclyn/Val/Dale/Joaq) finally decided he was too good to allow him to go any further. Seemed like a pretty easy group decision.
