great, love the show

Looking forward to Sandra going home hahaha. It does seem very early to drop the buffs. Maybe they will do it multiple times since the theme is game changers. That would be cool.

I'm excited they are dropping buffs so early on and hope they continue. I worry that Sandra will slide through the game for a third time. I want her out so badly.

I am also looking forward to saying good bye to Sandra.

They will go to 3 tribes of 6, per last week's Q&A with Jeff.

Seriously I feel the same way Lindsey. I really might stop watching til she's gone. That's how much I dislike that very offensive person. Obviously they were thinking bring back favorites and controversial players. They missed the mark with her. She's not controversial, she's disgusting.

Thanks for the reminder.

I love Survivor so much I can't imagine punishing myself by not watching until Sandra is gone, lol. That would be double punishment!

I dread watching it....yeah....Sandra....yuck! But....I'll watch and hope she GETS GONE 2-nite.

why all the hate for sandra?? i think she played the game great.."as long as its not me, i don't care who i write down." who wouldn't want her on their side.,she's not tied to nobody and the majority can count on her to vote with them...

what am i missing??

I am not happy! Grrrrrr. Those goats were so precious! That is all.

I am a fan of Sandra, too.

Not happy with tonight's show.

Sorry to see one of my favorites go tonight! :-(

Just glad they didn't kill the mama goat!

I fast-forwarded when I saw the goats. I take it they killed them. I hate everyone on the tribe if they did. Disgusting and horrible to come to an island and slaughter the beautiful wildlife. I really hate Sandra now as I heard her agree to it before I switched it off. In fact I might not watch any more this season. I liked Caleb and I really don't like anyone else.

Nope all goats remain unharmed! They really should have kept the Momma and baby around for the milk. They should have at least milked her once. I bet not a single one of those dummies even thought about the milk.

Sandra was disgusting I was terrified for the baby in her arms.

I feel bad for Tai and the chickens since Sandra is in charge of them.

Day 9 is very unlucky for my cowboy dang it.

"why all the hate for sandra?? i think she played the game great..'as long as its not me, i don't care who i write down.' who wouldn't want her on their side.,she's not tied to nobody and the majority can count on her to vote with them..."

The "as long as it's not me I don't care who I write down" isn't unique to Sandra. Pretty much everyone who has ever played the game has felt exactly the same way. With Sandra it's more of a "you write down who I tell you to write down, because if I even suspect you're trying to get others to vote for someone else, I will make sure YOU are gone." And, no, the majority cannot count on her to vote with them. Last week in the second hour, most of her team were saying that they should keep Tony for at least another several days because they need his strength in the challenges. Sandra got p-o'd that they weren't going to vote for who she wanted gone, so she flipped her tune and ganged up on Tony.

And look at the goat incident from tonight. Sandra wanted to eat a goat so she was commanding the others to catch a goat. When it turned out that it was a mama goat, the others didn't feel right about making an orphan out of the baby goat, so they said they had to let the mama goat go. Sandra was not happy, so she then decreed that they would kill a chicken. Bear in mind that she is on a tribe that is at one of the two original camps, so there is lots of food there that they got from the boat at the beginning of episode 1. Those chickens are providing eggs for them.

Here's the recap.

Not happy with who went home! Thank goodness they didn't kill those goats. If Sandra had her way, they would have been slaughtered--another reason for her to be voted out ASAP. I wish they hadn't broken up into three tribes--that put some good people in jeopardy.

Well, that's a relief. I actually thought they killed them and fast-forwarded to the challenge. I was sad that Tai was separated from the chickens. Stupid Sandra. Eggs would be more beneficial than a one time meal of chicken. She's my number one enemy to be eliminated. Who the hell does she think she is?

Just watched last night... Lily I was right there with you - ready to fast forward if I thought they were going to kill the goat! Thank God they all, except SANDRA, had a conscience about it being a mama goat. I hope all the goats hightail it out of that area for good!

Sad to see Caleb go!! So stupid, I really think you can't get rid of the strong players so early on and expect to win challenges. I like that next week's preview said only the winning team would be safe, the other two would both go to tribal.

And there's a bit of hope that someone will be targeting Sandra... yay!!

you guys are funny!! i get that she targeted tony but everyone does it. everyone is trying to cover their A**., they were going to vote out hallie & changed their mind the last minute... it kind of freaked me out about the goats, thank God they voted on it. sandra knew she couldn't buck them or major target on her back, which i think there still is.. she won't make it far unless someone else does something really stupid to freak them out. they will get tired of her being "in charge ". i would;t want her to make it the final three if i were playing :0

caleb was great eye candy but I'm ok with him gone....eh. i think we have to watch out for Tai this season, very strategic., went against his Bro-mance!

still waiting for an All-Girl Alliance!!! when will these women ever get it right??

My All-Girl Alliance:

Michaela, Aubry & Debbie to the final three!!! i love their "game"! aubrey is my favorite!!

Sandra has won twice... she'd be great to take to the final three thinking no one will vote for her to win again... that was her pitch already. If she does make it that far I wouldn't be surprised if she did win again! I remember being shocked when she won the second time! How stupid are these players at times?!

Tai seems to go with whatever the last thought is put into his brain by someone else! I think Caleb would've stuck with him.

I first saw Caleb on Big Brother and thought he was just some country bumpkin. But I grew to really like him a lot, and I think he's sweet and loyal. Was surprised about Tai not supporting him. Boy ,is Caleb handsome. What a face. He could be a model.

While I can appreciate Caleb's looks, he is my son's age. No, the one I was more attracted to (but not the first time he played) was Troy. He is quite an attractive "older" man. He mentioned he is the oldest one playing at 53. He has a great physique and is quite handsome. I wonder why I didn't notice that the first time he played? Nice to have some mature eye candy, lol

share_oh, It is important to remember who Sandra was up against in the last vote--Parvati and Russell Hantz. Parvati had also already won prior, and Russell was widely hated by the jury. Even I was hoping she would win at that point.

If they ever bring Russell back, I will never watch again. He was a psychopath.

yeah, not a fan of Russell ~~blech~~....i think if Sandra makes it to the final 3, she will win. if they are that stupid to keep her there, they deserve to lose/she deserves to win.

i liked it better when there was just 2 finalist. having 3 does nothing for the finale.
