Don't forget Survivor tonight!

3 years ago

I didn't miss a single episode when i was in the hospital, but I'm happy to be home this week.

Time to talk about who you like. I was going to say that Gabler is a carry-along, you know, the harmless one who'll never get any votes. But last season, that's what I said about Maryanne until her master performance at the final TC. I like Cody and Jesse, both of whom seem to have the kind of street smarts that Tony had. But the previews seem to indicate that others see them as a dangerous team to break up. I like Karla, again, street smarts, and Sami, wise far beyond his age (19?). I like the others, Owen and Cassidy and Nicole, just not sure they can win.

So what do you think?

The flaw in the entire premise of Survivor is that the most deserving players get voted out because they're threats. Others survive only because they are in the right alliance, and they are often weaker players.

Well, there's a Nicole! And she's quite a wonderful person, too.

Edited later, that's Noelle, I had her name wrong.

I was SO disappointed in that vote! I actually felt bad for Jeremy because he kept saying he didn't want to be voted off first. Natalie is beyond annoying. Why are they swapping teams already? I thought they usually did that if the teams start to become too lopsided. Right now the Davids are down 2 and Goliaths 1. I'd like to see them stay together a little longer. I hope whatever team Natalie ends up on that she does what she said she wouldn't do - team up with the Davids. I'm liking the wrestler guy - he's cute and he seems like he's a nice guy. He seemed pretty arrogant in the beginning but seems to have calmed down some. I have no winner preference yet though. Too many players that I have no clue who they are. I agree - 2 challenges would be much more interesting. Wonder why they stopped doing that?

After the first episode, our family was discussing how much more interesting it would be if each of the players voted off, that wanted to continue, got an individual beach of solitude. The odd ending on this one, makes me double wonder if there would be no Reem meetup, even if Keith chooses to continue. But probably not.... I'm probably just trying to drum up my own interest in a season I find distasteful due to the four returning players. I hate partial returnees, because it throws everything out of balance, editing wise and fairness wise. And it eliminates one of my favorite things about the early game--getting to know the new players.

I agree - snooze fest so far. I still have no clue what most of their names are. The buff switch meant to switch things up did absolutely nothing! I kinda liked the guy voted out - would've preferred the girl who wasn't feeling well but she really didn't want to go. I thought maybe with their love fest going on she'd volunteer to get out of there. lol

I'm rooting for Devens to win. I think he's played a good game; he's been busy finding idols; he has never presumed he's so safe that he hasn't given his best effort in challenges; and he hasn't been really underhanded to anyone. On the other hand, there isn't anyone I really can't stand among those who are left, although I think my least favorite is Victoria, followed by Lauren, then Gavin, then Julie.

So glad to see you back, Sushi! It's time to vote right now, I think it's going to be Jesse or cody that goes. A blindside. But we will see in 10 seconds.

Here's the recap.

Did her reward challenge performance doom her?

I agree, Eileen. Noelle was so likeable and admirable that if she made it to the end, she would surely win. Maybe all the strong people should form an alliance and pick off the weaker ones first. The only way someone athletic or likeable can win is if they constantly win challeges and find idols, otherwise the regular folks will pick them off.

The slogan on the Survivor logo is "Outplay, Outwit, Out last". Voting out your strongest competitor is outwitting them. And before the merge, the tribes routinely vote out the weaker ones that won't help them win team challenges.

ha ha.....I was thinking....my name and I can't remember their names?! 🤣

I kept saying, when Noelle was struggling on that challenge...how unfair THAT challenge was! Then the next challenge didn't use "legs" and Noelle didn't win....and THAT challenge was fair. 🤧So sad to see her go....and so deserving of a million dollars. Where's Sia? Where's Ponderosa? Those were the good ole dazs.....
