The one survivor

Yes, yes I am. She had just been attacked by Agnes and lost a lot of blood. She was most likely in shock. So how smart was it for him to go wake her up and take her down to the basement so she could see Matt (the man he already knows she's in love with) screwing around with the witch? He had to know nothing good was going to come of that. I'm sure he had no idea she would snap like that, but still! If he'd left her asleep and just minded his own business Shelby wouldn't be guilty of killing Mattat least not at this point. Oh well, the odds are they will both end up dead as well, so I guess it really doesn't matter. I still think he's scum.

I have a feeling at this point the survivor will be Shelby. We just saw her get injured, and she has been one of the main focuses since the start. It'd be kind of hilarious considering she just killed Matt too. She'd basically get away with murder.

Maybe she won't get away with it. Even if she survives the blood moon, the ghosts, the flesh eating stoner hillbillies, the blood loss, and everything elseshe was still on camera smashing her husband's head in a fit of rage. Maybe the 10th stand alone episode is going to focus on Shelby's trial? Or maybe we will skip right to the part where they give her the lethal injection after she gets the death sentence for murdering Matt.

I guess. But if she would be found insane, how could she ever live with herself? I think I'd want to die if I had done something like that to someone I loved. Even if I wasn't in my right mind when I did itonce I came back to myself I wouldn't want to live. She beat his head to a pulp!

In principle you're right about both. I could see her taking her own life out of guilt over Matt's death. And Dominick was trying to stir up trouble. So far he seems to be landing on his feet - he's the only one who hasn't been attacked. I hope it doesn't mean he'll be the last one standing.

I'm starting to get a nasty feeling Dominick will be the oneif indeed ANYONE survives. I still think that disclaimer was worded in a very tricky way. It said everyone died under mysterious circumstancesexcept for one. That doesn't mean anyone actually survives. Maybe one person's death is actually not mysterious. And it could be Matt's, because Shelby actually killed him and it was captured by the camerasthat's not really so mysterious.

Hah, you're right, hadn't thought of that. Of the deaths so far - Sydney and four crew members, Agnes, Rory, and Matt - all were killed by ghosts except Matt. But if that theory holds up, it would mean no one is killed by the Polks., who are live people being recorded. Based on RM's interview, Finn Whitlock is supposed to play a deeply twisted character, so I figured some of the deaths were going to come at his hands.

Sydney and some of the crew members weren't killed by ghosts, they were killed by Agnes. So their deaths aren't really a mystery either, cameras documented it and Agnes confessed to killing them when she was filming herself in the bunker

Then your guess is as good as mine. Maybe it was a mystery to whoever saw the found footage? Maybe they didn't realize it was Agnes. But they put that disclaimer there and worded it the way they did for a reason.

sjzaz,
Do you have an opinion as to why Dominic has been so calm? When discovering Rory's blood, Dominic was calm.
Dominic is calmly sleeping on the downstairs sofa. After everything wouldn't Matt, Shelby, and Dominic stay in the room? Past history and hurt feelings seem to trump a chance at safety when in the midst of a bloodbath.
Matt and Shelby are sleeping together in the room they shared as man and wife in 2014. A time according to Matt when The Millers was already over - Matt says that their marriage was over as soon as they moved into their Sappony property.
Matt wakes up in a trance. Matt goes downstairs which gets Dominic's attention. Following hypnotized Matt down into the basement Dominic sees The Witch.
Dominic does not appear to lose his calm demeanor. It would seem more likely that seeing The Witch would cause Dominic noticeable fead, distress, and panic.
Matt wakes up Shelby. Perhaps Dominic felt as though Matt needed assistance - Matt was in immediate danger and needed help / saving from The Witch. Dominic feels Shelby is the best to rescue Matt.
Dominic remains calm going back down into the basement with Shelby.
How is it that Dominic does not appear to be rattled by seeing The Witch? Has The Witch bewitched Dominic? Is Dominic the object of The Witch's affection now and not Matt?
What were The Witch and Matt doing when Shelby saw them together in the basement?
Thank you sjzaz, or anyone that responds for taking the time to answer so many questions. -

Hey, WinkerAugusta, I actually do have a theory about Dominic.
Up until now, I don't think he believed ANY of this was real. I'm going by what he said in his "confessional" about being hired to be the "bad guy" and how the bad guy is always the star. He seemed to really get off on the idea he was there to cause trouble. Remember how at the very beginning of the episode last week, Sidney told whoever was behind the camera to keep filming, no matter what? I think he probably told the same thing to the actorskeep acting and going along with whateverit's all staged. Sidney's motivation seemed two-fold to meratings and to induce Lee into confessing to Mason's murder.
Audrey didn't even seem too upset at first after Rory disappeared. She seemed more angry at Sidney for scaring her than anything else. She seemed to believe Rory left for the job on the Brad Pitt movie. That's also why Dominic wasn't upset about the blood on the floorhe assumed it was fake and he was playing along, even though he pretended to believe it was real.
Even when Agnes attacked Shelby, I don't think Dominic thought it was anything more than a crazy woman who snapped and showed up with a cleaver and an axe to grind (no pun intendedhaha) I think he was genuinely scared to go out and get helpbut not scared of ghosts, scared of Agnes!
I'm sure when he went and fetched Shelby to go down to the basement to witness Matt having sex with the witch (or whatever they were doing) he thought he was acting on Sidney's orders. Remember, at this point the people remaining in the houseMatt, Shelby, and Dominichave no clue what's going on outside with the rest of them, or that Sidney and the crew are dead. At this point, I think Dominic thought he was still acting a part.
He might be catching on now, though. Even when he was comforting Shelby after she killed Matt, I think he was probably thinking "Oh crap, now she's done gone killed the dude, what do I do now?" But when the actual ghosts show up and he sees the REAL Butcher whack Agnes in the head with her cleaver, maybe he'll be a believer!
I think we will see a major change in Dominic's demeanor in the next episode. Shizz is getting REAL nowhaha -

Not necessarily. I was just thinking about Charles Manson. No doubt, everyone in the Manson Family was completely crackers, but Charles was definitely the most twisted. He's the one who was able to get into all of their heads and get them to commit all of those murders all for him yet he didn't technically commit any of the murders. He just made sure that they happened. Finn's character could be equally twisted and arrange the deaths of everyone, including his own family, without ever actually stabbing or shooting anyone. Just a thought.
