I kind of like Kendra, Dee, J. Maya and Julie. And Austin and Brando also seem fine.

I assume that, for the scales leg, they passed that portion as long as neither scale touched the ground?

I don’t know if they’ve officially been told, but I wonder if they’re calculating how many more days it is until day 100, and deducing that there has to be another double in order for the scheduling to work out.

Production couldn’t have been bothered to give Chanelle a confessional after she finished and placed 2nd? Or shown whether Michaela was medivacced or actually made it to the the finish line? Come on now!

Do we know if Jag is eligible to win this week’s HOH? I think he can play, but I’m not sure if he has to throw it.

Tori also failed at it

I think Dee was the one with the long big toes segment. J, sadly, had 0 notable moments before tonight. Dee got a decent amount of airtime last week, vocalizing in multiple confessionals that she and Julie are working with Austin and Drew but don’t fully trust them.

Wonder who Probst is going to blame in casting for two people this season having quit. It won’t be Adam Klein, whose clients of Brando, Brandon and Kaleb haven’t quit, despite the fact that Probst has no respect for what Adam does. Can the show stop purpling Brando, please?

I actually like Cory though I think he’s played fairly poorly since the Jared eviction. But he has been nominated before, by Jared during the initial Cam eviction. Granted, Jag won veto and took Cory off the block, but still. I do wonder if Cory would be getting this much disdain from both fellow players and fans if he were more conventionally attractive.

Oof Sabiyah. I admire her ballsiness in just putting that thing in the fire, but she got overconfident there. Why did production not give a lick of airtime to Sean during tribal council, on a tribe of 4? And why does the majority alliance on Reba not like J. Maya?? Finally, some Survivor players aren’t threatened by there being a lawyer on the cast. These days, I think of that profession as being oversaturated more than a threat in a game!

Jeff was ridiculous for bashing Adam’s services. I don’t see how it’s any different than working with a coach who helps you in interviews for “regular” jobs. Maybe he’s pissed that Adam knows what casting is looking for, when he previously wanted that criteria to be more elusive?

Wait, how was Cirie’s initial answer wrong in OTEV? Wasn’t Luke the first one evicted, making Kirsten and Riley the second and third evicted?

I don’t see Cory voting to keep Cam. Cory knows how much Cam hates him.

He did win All Stars 3 recently.

I hardly think Brandon and Hannah “took someone else’s spot.” They applied for the show and went through the same level of pre-game Ponderosa stuff as the other 16 contestants. Whether you like them or not, challenge performance isn’t the end all be all of a player. Otherwise, casting would just pick 18 athletes/gym rats.

Not sure how likely that is. No way production wants to bring back someone like Boogie from BB7, Adam from BB9, or Jackson from BB21. Plus, I’m not sure they’d be even able to find people like BB6 Maggie

Err as much as I like Australian Survivor, I’d hardly consider it balanced in the edit. Production usually purples/gives practically no screen time to at least 1/4 of the cast.

I wonder if Sabiyah would be allowed to her tribal council torch to melt the wax?

She was killing it for the first 40ish days but had a couple of her close allies get voted out. Now she’s doing reasonably decently. Not a power player or with a ton of allies, but not many people’s targets. Sean, did Brandon really fuck up the puzzle in the first immunity challenge? Or did he just not get a ton of time on it because of his performance in the wall portion?

Whatever happened to Nina from season 2? The one who took over as the building’s president and wanted to make all of those changes to the Arconia?

The Cory backdoor plan might not work if America, Jag, Matt and Bowie (who seems to be closer to Matt and Jag than anyone else at the moment) vote to save him.

How is Bananas never an option for the men to vote in? Did his social game improve immensely?

Why oh why does production think the Sweat vs. Savvy challenge is compelling TV?

At one point during his BB season, when Michael was going on his comp run, Monte had complained about their not being enough ball competitions. Well, Monte, you got your wish, and it was your demise this season.

I know Wes has his fair share of detractors, but I’m surprised the non-vets weren’t willing to work more with both him and Amanda this season. Wes is one of the few vets that likes working with the rookies, and Amanda seemingly has nobody but Josh in this game. Targeting them seemed pointless from a Survivor standpoint.
