Maybe, but they left one team to be completely decimated before. One theory is two teams of 7 plus one person sitting out (Exile Island?) and joining the team that loses someone. Or 3 teams of 5? Who do you like? I thought Patrick went out exactly as I expected, no class. He has such poor social skills, and I'm sure Ali knew all about him. He was completely untrustworthy.

I was very happy with Tony winning. I would've liked it if Natalie had won as well. I was SO happy Sarah didn't make it to the final 3 so we didn't have to listen to her drone on and on. I liked her in the season she won but not so much this time around. I actually felt sorry for Michelle not getting a vote. She was the easy choice to take to final 3. Michelle seemed like she was making fire easily. I think the only thing Nat could've done differently was to pick Sarah and then make Michelle & Tony battle out the fire challenge. Boston Rob is crazy for saying Nat should've taken her chance beating Tony in a fire challenge - no way should anyone give up their guaranteed final 3 spot ever. There's no way he would have done that so I was disappointed he'd say it. Natalie did have a huge part in the game. When she re-capped all the advantages she sent back into the game, I was impressed. But I think Tony did play the better game and he's certainly entertaining to watch! The time he thought he had an advantage that turned into a disadvantage, his reaction as he was reading it was my favorite part of the entire season!

It's an interesting idea. I guess to keep long time Survivor fans watching, they have to come up with different concepts. Surely the others knew that the person sent solo to the island for 2 days would be offered some kind of benefit, but wouldn't imagine the exact deal. If she decides to turn back time, I think we're in for some drama!

Here's the recap. I liked the person who was voted out, but the tribe was in agreement. I agree with the decision. Hate to see people I like go. https://ew.com/tv/recaps/survivor-43-recap-episode-3/
