I saw the preview. Dude said he'd never forget this moment. Deep.....

I can recall several scenes in previous years that were really something. When Zeke talked to Jeff about the generational differences the coming out experience. And then Jeff outed Zeke as transgender at a tribal council. That was jaw-dropping.

I don't even know their names. I am not heavily invested. I do watch of course lol. Remember originally they even had to boil all the water before they could use it. Now they just go to the well and get good clean water ready to go.

"When Zeke talked to Jeff about the generational differences the coming out experience. And then Jeff outed Zeke as transgender at a tribal council."

To be clear, it was contestant Jeff Varner who outed Zeke, not the host Jeff Probst.

Thank you for fixing that!

Zeke is still one of my all-time favorites, along with Christian.

Suspense up until the last moment...love it!

No kidding, that was one heck of a tribal council!

Best one so far. We have made our selections. Son in law prob won't do it this time. He is taking classes and hasn't really watched any this season.

I'll post tomorrow who we all picked.

Happy, happy!

Anyone here wanna pick their person to win?

Are they all cliffhangers now? And I also remember when they had gross things to eat and had to boil water and got so skinny from lack of food. The game has changed so much.

I think that the "well" is a barrel of water that's kept stocked and treated. There is no need to make people sick for our entertainment.

Here are the recap and Jeff's interview.

Exactly lily! Doesn't seem to be near as much surviving as there is social maneuvering and pity me going on. But last nights tribal was really good. I was cursing Aaron for being a shifty snake haha. Good editing for sure.

I really enjoy seeing how shocked everyone is to see Sandra and Rob.....but.....I had assumed... until last night .....they were staying in a hotel inbetween appearances.......maybe with their families. Rob made it sound like he & Sandra are bunking together. She snores. lol They need to renegotiate their contract, ha ha

I liked the "going home" pick. I think Elaine has a target on her back. I rarely pick the "one-who-wins" correctly.

They've always said the social game is just as important as the physical challenges. They film what occurs and real people have real feelings, which are intensified by the harsh conditions. I pay more attention to relationships and conversations. The physical challenges have become so repetitious and I don't want to watch two an episode. I really don't care which team wins a reward. I do like the individual challenges.

I like Elaine, but she sure does have a Target on her back! I hope she makes it to the end.

It was definitely an interesting experience at tribal. All the scurrying around whispering lol. Didn't help.

I like Elaine. She is a straight shooter. And the way some people were talking about her last night was extremely disrespectful!

I like Elaine, as well. And I completely love Jamal.

Ok here are the family picks:

DH Randy ---- Jack

Son Nick ---- Elizabeth (the Olympian)

Daughter Amanda ---- Tommy (red head 4th grade teacher)

Mom Kathy (me) ---- Elaine

Against my gut feeling I picked Elaine. I like her. She won't go to the end, she has too big of a sad story/struggle. She would be the winner, but I still picked her. Haha.

I almost picked Lauren but I greatly disliked how she and Missy busted on Elaine abt. how she's not smart enough. Jerks. I also considered Kellee but kind of forgot abt her til the previews and we had already picked. lol

I'm bad with names. I like the cute curly-haired guy who apologized for saying du-rag. (spelling?)

That was Jack. He and Jamal were already allies.

I like Elaine too, sure wish she'd start scouting about for an immunity idol or two, with that target on her back she'll need a few just to make it to the merge.

I was so happy with Tribal outcome!

I had no idea that “durag” (I always pictured it as doo-rag) is a racial term. Every biker I know, male and female, wears one and collects them. Huh. I felt bad for the guy for thinking he’d belittled or insulted his friend.

I like Elaine, she’s cute and enthusiastic. I was worried about her getting that advantage. Was she supposed to announce it like that?

Yes, she had to read it to everyone before the vote.

FlamingO, I had no idea do-rag was a racial term, either. It certainly isn't in my area. The only people who wear them here are bikers,too, and I was confused by such a big deal being made about it.

I like Elaine too. I loved how happy Rob and Sandra were when they found out she got the advantage.

I thought it was do-rag... had no idea it could be racial either.

I thought the whole thing was overblown - the hype beforehand... guess I just don't understand it. The Zeke situation, now that was something major. It seems like they are looking for things now to make a big deal over. I'm glad that everything worked out between the 2 guys though.

Loved the voting outcome. I thought Aaron was about to make a big mistake. Glad Elaine's advantage did work out to her advantage and not her getting voted out!
