In terms of physical threat. Sierra even though she never won immunity, did really well in team challenges (she was the one that did shooting hoops challenge). There were also several times she barely lost to Mike when, Mike went on his immunity run. Sandra in her pregame interviews, was very astute. She wanted to target that Koah Rang 4, because she said that in all-star seasons, the seasons that have the most representatives always did well (Australia--> All Stars, Cook Islands--> Micronesia, Micronesia--> Heroes vs Villains, Cagayan--> Cambodia). She also wanted to target people like Sierra, based off of the trend of unknown female doing very well.

Sierra is a threat makes sense. In returnee seasons, young females that everyone has no recollection about tend to do very well (Amber, Parvati (Micronesia), Amanda (Micronesia), Kelley W etc.).

Even if Sandra, gets voted out next. She is still impressive. I mean she survived 3 tribal councils (when she should hands down be the first one voted off). Richard and Tina couldn't do that in the first all stars. JT of course repeating history, by making another stupid mistake. Hilariously though, he is the first perfect winner ( no votes against, all jury votes).

This is an amazing rap video from Hali. Can't wait for her to talk compare Survivor to the colonies flipping.

One of the biggest strength of Brooke, is that she is really creative in challenges. There is never a lot of similarity in her dishes. I remember season 10, she did frog legs and mussels as her surf and turf dish, which is really different from everyone else (Almost everyone did some form of bacon and scallops). It might also, because Josh from season 10 was so unversatile, putting bacon in every dish. Also in the blind dish taste challenge, how did John think cream cheese tasted like flour? I get that its a hard challenge because its blindfolded. But that is so off the mark.

Brooke and Sheldon had a pretty good relationship going back to season 10. It seemed like the final 4, were pretty tight. Random Brooke and Sheldon moment from season 10 (not sure if people remember this), was when they got into their new living accommodations in Alaska. Brooke was checking out the rooms of the house. She checked one of the closets and Sheldon just pops out and scares her. The next scene they show is everyone consoling, but making fun of Brooke, while she's crying (but laughing). Its even better, because Brooke's whole arc in season 10 was her phobia of different things (riding on boats, planes etc.)

Sheldon, when Shirley talked about her childhood escapades.

Huge spoiler for next episode So the next quickfire....is another death round quickfire. WTH top chef?! Everyone that is present at the elimination challenge. Shirley, John, Silva, Brooke, and Sheldon. So looks like Casey is gone. Looks like Sheldon, John, and Brooke are struggling. The other preview clip, is Sheldon talking to his family on his cellphone. Which does not look good for him in an editing standpoint.

Really impressed by Brooke by the blind tasting challenge. 16 out of 20 is really impressive. Especially when timed. I noticed that some people were going really slow, because they were freaked out by what they might be eating, which really hurt them. Yikes at Shirley eating a giant chunk of ginger.

Not a huge fan of Casey, but man Padma is so shady. Her making a snide remark about scallops towards Casey in the tasting challenge seemed pretty low. Padma seems to have issues with some women chefs I've noticed. Couldn't stop laughing at Sheldon's face during Shirley constant talking about her crazy childhood escapades.

In terms of Front of House Winner, Stephanie Izard won restaurant wars as FOH in season 4. Seeing as so many people failed as FOH in the past, Stephanie was boss. She was a good front of house and made two dishes (a pasta dish, and a cheesecake dish).

Not really anything revealing the next preview clips. -Sylva was shown struggling in this challenge. The weather that day was really hot, so his food was falling apart. Wonder if several other people will struggle as well. -Sheldon looked kind of pissy, although obviously that could be a red herring. -Brooke is attempting to make 100 crepes @.@, uh hopefully she can pull that off.

Yeah, I'm glad to see Katsuji go (Him slow clapping was so ugly). John has bad moments, but I just totally side with John, in the John/Katsuji feud this episode. John also defended Emily too, when Katsuji was being a dick to her in the beginning of the episode. Katsuji making a giant mess in the kitchen (and having Casey clean after him), also makes me glad he got eliminated. I can't imagine seeing him in his restaurant. Maybe he should not cook with 20 ingredients, for the sake of his cleanliness. I can't stand Padma, but I was glad that she advocated for sparing Casey. Poor Sheldon. He looked so uncomfortable during judges table. At the end, you can clearly see him standing further away from John and Katsuji. With his red hat, he looked like a turtle wanting to hide inside his shell. Lol

I dunno, last week's preview was Jamie, John, and Emily fighting with each other (and they did end up being the bottom team). The sucky thing about Restaurant Wars is that its always either the Executive Chef or head of house that goes home. This is true for majority of the seasons. So unless one of the others really screw it up, Shirley, Brooke, John, and Casey are definitely the ones with targets. I can totally see Emily being sous chef so that she doesn't get eliminated.

So preview next week is Restaurant wars. Teams are the following Blue Team Katsuji, Sheldon, John, Casey. Casey is definitely front of house, she is wearing a yellow dress at judges table. John looks to be Executive Chef. Red Team Silva, Emily, Shirley, Brooke Front of House is Brooke Looks like Shirley is Executive Chef, since she is shouting orders at Emily. Hate to be bearer of bad news, but I believe it looks like Emily slips by again and Blue team loses. I could be wrong, but here is my reasons, based on looking the clip. The judges comment (on the losing team), about how their is tension causing the team to lose. Unless its a red herring, they showed John and Katsuji arguing. There is also a quick second of Katsuji and a waiter (or busboy) clashing, and nothing on the red team. The red herring, is showing a clip of Emily crying in front of Shirley. However she is in the house, so I'm pretty sure this is right after the drama of Jamie getting eliminated, and Shirley comforting her and not a Red Team drama as the producers are trying to frame it.

This challenge was so stupid. I do not want to be reminded of the terrible challenges that top chef texas had. Let's not chip blocks of ice next week, okay? That being said, I just thought it would be hilarious if John, Emily, and Katsuji were on the same team. John would lose it with Emily sucking at navigating and Katsuji walking.

Teams for next week look like the following. Red team John, Jamie, and Emily Yellow Team Shirley, Silva, and Sheldon Black Team Casey, Katsuji, and Brooke Uh, have no idea where Jim is. Wonder if he won immunity so he doesn't have to compete (or if he got eliminated). Promo has John saying I don't want to get eliminated during the quickfire. Both black and red team are standing in front of the judges table. Since Emily, John, and Jamie are fighting, I'm guessing both are at the bottom and yellow is on top?

Did anyone see look a good examination of the preview clips? Looks like Sheldon and Shirley seem to gone decently far (seen them in a ton of clips). Sheldon may possibly be pulled out due to a back injury.

Surprised no one remembers Amanda. She did some pretty ridiculous things on her season. One episode the chefs (split into teams) had to serve healthy cafeteria food. Amanda decided it would be a good idea to braise chicken in brandy as a dish (so many lawsuits could happen if this happened in an actual high school). Was really surprised she didn't get eliminated for that. She was known to put everything in booze.

Lmao. I thought you were talking about all the asian females getting voted off.

Hope she does well. She looks okay so far, but the fact Abi has made her the "RC" is kind of dicey.

Ugh can't believe T-bird and Shane didn't get on. Stupid America with the minds of a goldfish.

You guys need to vote for all (or at least most) of the pre-micronesia people. The last thing we need is to have 2/3 of the cast come from the past 2-3 seasons. This lady must be on. She got screwed over by not being on all-stars.

This is a good podcast. Rob had three females talking about the social issues of the past episode. http://robhasawebsite.com/survivor-2015-worlds-apart-women-female-will-sims-shirin-fight/

I wonder if the kid that Carol scared off is a huge foreshadowing. It seems like the finale will be the giant zombie outbreak. Wonder if the kid would be torn apart like what happened in the comics.
