I'm shocked none of them suspected Karishma of idol-hunting. Isn't that usually what people do (or what others assume they do), when they disappear for a long time?
Another example of the people in power, underestimating players they believe are inferior.

I don't know if she has children, but she's ready to have a toddler!

Dean's completely inflated sense of how well he's doing in the game is just about the only entertaining thing left in this season.
Haha! I thought surely he must be including himself in the "goat army" comment. Such an army of misfits: Dan, Karishma, Noura, Dean. Except he doesn't seem to have any self-awareness or sense of humor.
I guess that leaves us with Tommy (semi-goat, indistinct edit), Janet (FTW!), or Elaine (FTW part 2!)
ETA: Oops, forgot Elizabeth! I believe she is not long for the game.

Missy was the biggest gaslighter of all this season, if by that you mean asserting something patently false and trying to convince people it's true. From her unbelievable performance last week snowing Janet and Kellee, to baldly telling Tommy she wasn't coming for him, when in fact, she had just written his name down, to saying how much she loved Elaine before basically putting out a Survivor hit on her.
Also, I HATE when people boast about how proud/happy they are to be their own precious selves. It's particularly rich coming from a young woman who clearly has a big chip on her shoulder and just last week displayed some pretty appalling, unethical behavior (lying about sexual harassment to further her own interests).
Yeah, Missy, we're happy that you are so proud to be who you are. I'll take Karishma any day, with her ability to be humble, think objectively about her position, recognize a bully, and show sincere gratitude for what she has.
And Jeff was right, there was probably no way he could have brought up the fact that there were two African American immunity winners without it seeming patronizing and bigoted.

Have we ever had a final three with three goats?

I'm a little ashamed at how much gleeful cackling was heard in my house when:
1. Elizabeth and Missy saw Aaron sitting in the jury
2. Missy, one of Elizabeth's number ones, got voted out.
High and mighty Elizabeth had such a cartoony bug-eyed shocked face, that I LOLed for a long time.
Ok, I'm not really that ashamed.

and it went by quickly, but didn't one of the guests say (was it on a phone call back home?) that it was horribly, miserably, hot? Yeah, not a good advertisement. I was in Hong Kong this past August, and can concur that there are times to visit, and times to not visit, certain places! (and I'm not even talking about the protests!)
The first few episodes, they were frequently putting up a chyron with the temperature to show, for instance, that it was 93 degrees when the crew was doing their morning duties. I notice that they've stopped doing that.
Though we do get frequent complaints from the deck crew about sweating so much.

And I feel like this whole season has been a commercial for why not to go to Thailand - it's stupid hot, ridiculously humid, germy as hell and will make you uncontrollably shit, vomit and/or nearly lose a limb.
LOL. Don't forget that the alcohol is "different" and will make you drunker/more hungover.

It's hard to believe Simone is a 29-year-old, who has worked as a stewardess, and still doesn't know how to pour beer or open a bottle of wine. Most 29-year-olds should know those things, but even if you're a teetotaler (which she's clearly not), surely her job has required those things? Moreover, she's in a service profession but seems to be uncomfortable actually speaking to guests. I'm a fan of hers, but she's another one, like Abbi, who seems to have chosen the wrong profession.
I think she's very beautiful, though occasionally she looks kind of fang-y, like a vampire or something.

If you have a separate identity for your drunken self, you might have a drinking problem. Just saying.
Brian does not need ice, anti-inflammatories, or ace bandages. He needs antibiotics. Infections in the joints can be serious. On Survivor, they pulled a player when a skin infection near the knee got bad. He probably needed IV antibiotics to save the function of his knee.
Between that worrying situation and all the puking and bathroom sounds, this season is really pushing the envelope with the queasy-making health stuff. Didn't this show used to be just fun?

I think this is more analogous to a workplace situation than a criminal complaint situation. I don't think Dan needed to commit an actual crime to violate the rules of the game (whatever those may be) and be ejected. Does the Survivor "workplace" require a formal complaint? Maybe.
On Project Runway years ago, someone was ejected for using pattern books, which is against the specific rules of that competition. Obviously that is not a crime in the outside world. I think some other contestants tipped off production and Tim Gunn investigated and summarily dismissed the guy on the spot. How "formal" that complaint was, who knows? But it seems like other shows act more forthrightly when rules are violated.

I pretty much think Karishma & Noura will be dragged to the end.
They are looking like more viable winners each episode!

Re: weight loss, Jamal told Doctor Joe (?) that hunger wasn't a big issue for him out there. That's likely because he had much more storage fat to burn than, say, Jack, who said that the hunger was much harder than he expected.
Beef up, people, if you're going on Survivor!

Does the Survivor contract really not have a clause that unwanted touching isn't allowed and grounds for ejection?
In all the bajillion pages of their contracts?!?

But, with the talk of Dan apparently not being a fan of Karishma, it did cross my mind that maybe the two are talking about Dan.
If Dan manhandles Karishma after everything that went on last week, I could see her reporting him to the producers and asking for him to be removed. It would also explain why we heard earlier about Karishma's standards of modesty and her faith - both things we haven't heard about since.

But isn't there a spoiler that someone is removed?

And he thinks that he is such "a nice guy" that if you have problem with it, it must be your problem. If you say "no" it must be because you misunderstood what benign intentions he had.
If doesn't matter if he is trying to flirt (I don't think that's the case), or getting sexually aroused himself (ick), or if he just likes putting his meaty paws on young pretty women (I think that's more the case), no means no, no matter how nice a guy you think you are.
3 minutes ago, Rachel RSL said:Isn't it convenient that when Dan feels the need to touch someone because it's freezing cold, or he has to get by them, or run his fingers through someone's hair for a random dirt check, or tickle someone's toes for no reason...it's always a woman? Funny how "Gosh, I'm just an affectionate guy" Dan only seems to have that affliction when he's around the women.
It's always the young, thin women.

Because Dan seems clueless and ineducable about these matters, I speculate that next episode, we see him back to his usual Feely Dan ways, sleeping at night with his hands all over one of the women, and the producers eject him for not heeding their warning to cut it out.

It's not a straight man touching a woman's hair, or feet or cuddling with a woman while she is sleeping. That is straight up sexual. Men who I'm not in relationships with don't do these things to me.
The one clip of him moving hair off Kellee's face -- that action might not seem sexual to some, but it was certainly intimate. And this with a woman who had repeatedly told him she didn't want him to touch her.

I think once this was all being discussed in the open CBS was praying that one or more of the players would request Dan's dismissal and they could pull him out of there.
If an employee makes a complaint at work, it's not up to that employee to decide whether the offender should be fired or not.
If the producers did indeed not remove Dan because Kellee or any contestant didn't explicitly request his removal -- an unfair burden IMO and a terrible precedent to set -- that's a pretty egregious abdication of their responsibility.

Wait, WHAT? I don't remember Janet saying that. Didn't Janet say that Dan did all of this stuff but she was fine with it? That's different than Janet claiming Dan has never touched her.
I think Janet said that she hadn't seen it happen, but she believed the younger women.

Missy was even more clueless on Twitter. On Monday, she put a picture of herself in the Obama "Hope" poster style, with "DOPE" written across it.
I really hope she "goes out like a punk" now.

S39: Ponderosa (Possible Spoilers)
in Survivor
· Edited by Special K
And yet....this week she says that she "only had Missy" to keep her warm. Um, what about Dan?! He seems to like keeping young women warm at night.
