  1. I dislike all of the hidden immunity idols.  Pretty much when you find those things in the wild they go straight into the unwashed nether regions of the men or women or the cleaner option of the unwashed chesticle region of the women.  Either way everyone loses LOL.  Especially when they kiss the idol my squoink meter shoots up.

  2. The only reason I’m watching it now is because it’s after Survivor and my BF plays pickleball during that time lol.  I record Survivor but this is the first season I’ve seen it live.  If I went back to my normal routine I would neither watch this summit show nor record it.

    Why cooperation?  This show would be better in a cutthroat format with sabotages or sabotaging others.🤣

    The rope bridge they had to crawl over looked both terrifying and exhausting. It was interesting to see the different techniques they used. But, like all of the obstacles on this show, it went on for too long.

    I wish they'd give a better sense of how long it takes if someone falls for them to get back to the other side. Is it like 10 minutes or 30? Do they have to get themselves back somehow? Does a crew member help them?

    I think they did vote out the right person this time, considering her injury. Also, I was confused, as I thought they had to choose between the people who didn't carry the food or an extra backpack. I thought Dennis carried something extra, but maybe I'm wrong?

    That’s a good point….some time context would be great in terms of the delay.  They are trying so hard to make it seem like they are alone out there with the editing but you can still see some of the crew.  Just be transparent with it….the line catches you and drops you to the safety point where you started.  It’s not like you go hurling to the bottom.  It would have been more fun if you don’t make it on the first try you’re out.

    The whole last person takes the backpacks was dumb….hooked up the backpacks with help from the crew would have been more accurate.  And they didn’t have to be any more trustworthy than anyone else.

    trying to figure out what would make this more exciting under this format and I can’t think of one.  The mountain hiking is steep…got it.  It’s occasionally cold…got it.  Wow snow…got it.  Wow these bushes are thorny….got it.   Yep…this mountain is still steep.  Wow it’s kind of slippery here…got it.  Hey watch out for the hole here!  And uneven terrain again!  Got it…cue the helicopter!

    and didn’t they say the next location was inhospitable so that’s why they had to carry the food?  Was that the lake adjacent location or was this a multipart episode since we didn’t see any tents either?

  4. Entertaining episode and the grubs were back.  Disgusting to watch but reminiscent of the OG days of a harder and dirtier Survivor.  I wonder how bad their clothes and shoes smell.  That huge crochet cardigan looked warm but all I could think about was how nasty everything must be.  Ocean water makes everything smell bad!

  5. I guess I’m annoyed at how fast we label someone a liar and untrustworthy.  Seems different than being strategic and manipulative on survivor.  Denis just seems like he wants the villain edit and thank goodness he’s willing to play a role so we have some type of edit each week!  If I were him I would have said “ i won’t carry anymore stuff unless you agree not to vote me out.  Let Amy or jennye carry the load then if they have such big mouths to get me out and how they won’t quit….but them not quitting is just for them to pull their own weight.  Here’s my backpack jennye!  Meow.”

    ...and eliminates the opportunity for the girls to walk around all day in wet underwear.

    Very true!  I do feel like survivor used to be much more formulaic in terms of casting a girl with a huge rack, or fitter bodies but now the formula isn’t adhered to as much, or at least I don’t seem to notice it.  Although it could be discussed that the lady who is 45 doesn’t get much naked time with her implants versus showing younger gals buttcheeks.  
     

    on this show it would have been nice to contrast Jojo siwa with a more Barbie type, unless there were some and I didn’t see the early episodes.  At least in terms of forming alliances or even dalliances lol, which we still don’t even know if there is a point to alliances.  I’m not getting the social experiment.  Maybe they should just cast really fit people.  Or maybe they should just keep this to one season lol.

    you can see the same amount of adventure on Gordon ramseys uncharted.

  7. Reminds me when Peachy said they don’t do survivor in cold locations because freezing doesn’t translate well on tv…much like starvation doesn’t really resonate either.

    This show doesn’t covey risk very well….there isn’t a chance anyone is going to die on the rapel or zip lines any more than when we do it.  They aren’t tying themselves in and there are professionals there to check their harnesses.  They just have to manage fear and physicality.

    This is driven home by the point where the Patis aren’t the obvious choice to go home.  If the players felt like They were in danger of not getting to the summit they would cut the slow people.  If they don’t care, we don’t care.  Hiking and rappelling in a big group for days isn’t really that compelling tv.  They should have done it more like competing teams with compasses.  Wasn’t there an adventure show like that from mark Burnett?

    and there is no point to alliances when the producer can change the elimination at any time to “get rid of X or Y.”  Kind of like what they did also on this weeks Survivor.

  8. So. So many tears.

    Not making the jury on survivor should not be such a heart wrenching loss.  Nothing really that matters in life was lost sweetie.

    good episode nonetheless!  Didn’t the planted advantage seem too perfect to get the outcome?!

  9. So…..the producers sent their ghoulish messenger with the contrived plot twist that basically said “Patti isn’t good tv, we have to keep a camera crew back to film her so y’all need to eliminate her so we can keep this thing moving. Eliminate denis later you dumbasses” ….only to find out that everyone was still conflicted on who to vote off… the pace setter or the anchor….in a race to reach the summit of a mountain in an allotted time.

    yeah.

  10. I guess I don’t get how you can have alliances on this show.  If the challenges are such that you are pairing up where some of the followers are physically or mentally unable to complete the challenge without the help of a leader, then why should the leaders help at all?  They should have been given the parameters of the challenge beforehand so that leaders could pair up with other strong leaders to manipulate the eventual tribes that were formed.

    The premise of this show dictates they help the weak in order to advance the team to get to the summit.  Making a challenge that uses the premise….to then backfire against strong players….is crappy.  Bait and switch.

    At least it was interesting when the cat ears woman froze on the climb and refused to move. But then a few more encouraging words and she went right up.

    It’s not that I enjoy seeing people fail or be terrified, but they put so much emphasis on how hard these tasks are and how some contestants are so scared, and then everything always turns out just fine. It undercuts the drama when you start realizing no one will actually fail or quit. 

    Exactly. In my own adventures I’ve seen people freeze and get stuck for hours. Once your brain says no it’s difficult to reroute. And your body energy drains out of you.  These people have more physical limitations and a healthy fear of heights…but there are more levels of Foh that we aren’t seeing for good reason. They wou,d be off the show pretty quickly and there aren’t many easy ways to actually pull  someone off a rock face lol.

  12. I can’t believe the lady who Robert helped up the climb ended up voting him out. Pretty brutal.  Very rpoud of Jeannie for navigating that by herself.  Helped that she was taller…rooting for the Trader Joe’s lady lol.

    theron? So he’s one of 18 kids and his sister and dad were both murdered? And he has a fear of heights?  Yeah he has my vote for the money.

    what I’m not feeling is the sense of urgency.  Part of me doesn’t believe they can’t/won’t allow this show to end without getting to the summit.  So I don’t feel the gravity of the situation when they get snowed in and waste a day.  If there really was pressure we would be eliminating the slowest.  Pati accepts Roberts companionship as they hike but then votes him out too.  Maybe I missed too much of the beginning to see how they initially all pissed each other off lol.

  13. Coming in late…I’ve only seen the last 2 episodes so I get some stuff and am baffled by other things…like the cringe host and the open voting.

    I like the girl who looks like Jo Jo siwa.  Her talking heads have her talking strategy that I don’t get but she has good energy for the show.

    i also have an extreme fe of heights that I have helped curb by doing challenges like this in the last four years.  Much like freezing and starvation, the sheer weight of it doesn’t translate on Tv.  I can still feel my feet sweat or stomach drop when I watch parts of this show.  And it causes you to drain energy quickly.  I did the rock face climbing they just did and honestly it was the worst if you have a fear of heights.  It feels like dangling death.
