Blindside

[Odog]

Last season, we saw more "blindsides" as Jeff calls them.
So far only two episodes were aired and both resulted in a blindside.

I'm kind of getting sick of them.
Do you enjoy the blindsides or do you see them as a cheap gimmick.
What ever it is, they're getting stale and boring.

I've gotten to the point where I cringe when I hear the word. The first time definitely wasn't a blindside and this most recent vote...it's really really debatable if that one would be called a blindside either.

Ya, it seems like we've gotten to the point where, unless everyone that's voting walks up to the person they're voting off and tells them before TC, they call it a blindside.

I agree,
Carolina definitely didn't get blindsided, she only said that to convince herself and the audience that she had a chance.

..which is stupid because "votes" in general are supposed to be confidential. When people vote for the president of the united states, they're not "blindsiding" the other candidate.

Maybe they should change it to
Expect the unexpected / Look for new twists / Get blindsided
