    Another person that Carolyn now reminds me of:

    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 😁

  2. 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!

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

    I didn’t get the reasoning behind voting out Dwight. ??

    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

    I'm so sick of untangling ropes and scaling walls and tossing balls and diving for keys and putting puzzle pieces together. 

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

  8. 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"

  9. Really liked Dwight's hair after Nneka got done with it. Really looked good. 

    I agree with those saying Ellie and Jeanine made an unnecessary enemy of Gabler. And by extension Sami (can you believe he's only 19 not 22?!). There was no basis for their superiority. If you really think these guys aren't that bright then play them with the subtlety that your superior intellect should afford you.

  10. Got nervous when Noelle got featured before tribal council. Thought it might portend her exit. Nneka seems like an amazing, kind.person, but sadly not a puzzle master. While Jesse was lamenting about voting for her would be like voting for his mom I was telling g him through the TV that isn't how Survivor works.

    Ryan did a great job during the challenge. He's still one of my favorites, even though we really haven't seen much of him. I thought he'd be the lone hold out for Karla's quest for the beads. His bead was really unique and he wanted it for his girlfriend so I thought he might not trade that easily. She pulled it off well so another idol is in play.

    I meant to ask: is Owen too young to be a curmudgeon?

    The Oxford dictionary defines it as an ill-tempered person, usually an old man. So I guess he can be an unusual curmudgeon.

    His low-key griping and pep talks to himself were cracking me up. Muttering about how he had to haul the water because these people weren't drinking enough seemed quite curmudgeonly and caretaking at the same time.

  12. That snake challenge looked tough. I was wondering if putting the tail over first would have created enough weight to help pull the heavier head section over as the body went down, but I'm not sure that would have worked.

    Can't say I'm too sad about Justine. Especially after her confronting Jesse and Dwight about how untrustworthy they are when they had just agreed to vote with her. Way to shore up your alliance. But then again, she should know untrustworthy when she sees it, just like fellow salesperson Cody.
