This post reminded me of one of my favorite moments of the episode- Carolyn's pronunciation of "bag". We lived in Minnesota for 9 years while my kids were going through elementary school. My daughter and I would have that exact conversation about the words bag, flag, etc and she was sure I was pronouncing it wrong by using the short "a" sound 😁

I have no idea how Josh thought telling people two versions of the idol story was going to help him seem trustworthy. Guess he has a tree mail bead souvenir. Carson should have certainly slowed down the puzzle solving- they are in the individual phase now and he just grabbed that spotlight as a puzzle beast. If Matt can't stop gushing about Franny, can production please stop showing it to me. We get it- you have a seriously nerdy, giggling crush. Play the game of move out of the way so she can!

This episode made me laugh out loud more than once. It's been a rough couple of days so a little comedy was needed. I liked the theme that aspiration is not all it takes for achievement. All the shirts and pillows with 'Dream' and 'Follow your heart' gloss over the fact the those things are just the seeds that only grow with dedication and hard work. And Gregory's' touch my hand with your positivity' example made me laugh.

That challenge was quick to fall apart if you lost a moment of focus. Well done, Karla- as a woman who has had more than one hand issue and surgeries I can tell you that was a sacrifice to hang on that long. It was making my hands ache just watching! James will not be missed. He was incredulous that Owen wasn't happy to be lied to. And then the "Let's see how far you go" after he was voted out- what??? So glad this game got shaken up. It was definitely time.

I liked it. Of course, you have to suspend your disbelief that she and her baby survived that amount of trauma with such few injuries. But I liked the story, even the flashbacks. Many people don't get therapy and going through this intense experience made Liv face her childhood and helped her heal. It pulled me in.

No.........Dwight! That stinks. Wasn't expecting all the Ryan votes. James isn't hiding in his buff now. All smiles

Got some toddler actions there- Cody chewing on his necklace James hiding his eyes

James has some serious, authentic vocal fry going there

According to Cody he's also good at this game and has always been "kinda eerie" to him (don't ask me what that means) And Jesse thinks it would also weaken Noelle

Oh goody, knowledge is power is back. Let's see if it can actually be an advantage this time And of course, James is spreading the info around. That'll help

And Gabler is still yammering on......

Well, that was disappointing all around

Gabler "This one's for my dog; my furry faced son." Seriously

But sometimes they untie knots, crawl under barriers and do a slide puzzle!

Those eye rolls from Cassidy during tribal were huge! As a fellow eye roller; she better get those under control once the merge happens. A little hard to be cagey when your feelings are that obvious. And Karla needs to be careful with the big, dramatic pauses. Keep your tribal council answers simple and light. "Anything can happen in Survivor, Jeff"
