Little Nurse Miller was assaulted and then shipped off to some sort of home for sad women and never spoken of again.😕

What did happen to Maxie? Did she run off chasing a rabbit and couldn't find her way home because the snow covered the scents? What were those shotgun noises for that morning? What killed the goat? Can a fox kill a goat? Why did the old guy flag down the younger guy who he knew hated him? Why carry puppies around in a box? Why set it on the road? Lots of unanswered questions in this one, but I doubt if anyone shed a tear for the puppy killer. Horrible, just horrible. Smart girl.

If the final immunity challenge is one of endurance, I think Sue has a good chance of winning it. I'd love to see that happen just to shake things up a little. This week Rachel and Genevieve let their sense of superiority as "smart professional women" show and I started wanting anyone but them to win.

I don't think she's joking. I think she really believes we all want to try the mud contouring method in the hope that we'll look as sexy as she thinks she looked on the show.

Yes! And on the first episode they can all congratulate each other on making it to the final 18!

Whaaat? Split finale? Did I miss something important?

Sue Theory #7 I think Sue believes she's a legend in her own time, a feminist icon who will have her own TED talk and wildly popular Youtube channel as soon as she gets home. After all she owns her own business and can fly an airplane. She also believes that the Survivor fans at home are saying, "Wow! Look at Sue! Sue's so tough, she's not afraid to get down and dirty. Not Sue, she's no sissy girly, girl. In fact she's dirtier than anyone out there which means she's playing the hardest and she's a strong, badass, boss!"

Yes, it was an odd episode. All the friends and neighbors just loved good old Kevvy but I thought he was quite annoying right from the start. Inviting Darren over for the first time and then asking him to contribute 2000 dollars for a fancy fence he didn't want? I've had friendly invitations to come over for a few snacks with other women, only to get there and find out it's a Tupperware Party. Even that made me irritated, it makes you feel like a fool for thinking you've found a real friend. Maybe Kevin would have fixed his drainage pipe and the area would still have flooded but Darren didn't know that for sure. The shovels of mud thrown against Darren's house was pretty serious to me, but all the neighbors acted like that was no big deal. Of course nothing justifies a knife through the heart, but Kevin wasn't just an innocent guy minding his own business.

That's @Diana Berry. Makes me laugh every time. All of you make me laugh, I'm particularly loving all the names for Sue this episode.

I'm counting on it! Teeny disappointed me with her grudge against Sam based entirely on his type. I share that bias, but I don't lean into it with such gusto. We're seeing the real Genevieve, too. The way she dismissed Teeny in mid-sentence gave me a peek at how it must be to work with her. I think it's pretty clear now that Sue does not have a skin condition or an allergy to water, she's purposely wallowing in the mud because she thinks it makes her look badass. The finale should be exciting. I wish they wouldn't always rush the ending, Two more shows would be great.

Canadians have a system like The U. S. social security system. It pays monthly Survivor income for children whose parents have died as well as the disabled and senior citizens. I may be being too hard on Susan and I don't doubt she loved those boys, but I thought she bragged a little too much about taking them in when it wasn't she who was working to support them but the tax payers. It was her daughter's story about her mother spending so much money on herself and not on her children that made me suspicious.

Susan is so proud of herself for being a single mom of 6 kids that she will never ask anything else of herself but that. She lost me when she said her husband didn't seem that interested in being a husband or father so she left him -- when the baby was six months old. I don't think she gave him a chance. I expect she just wanted to return to being the much admired single mom, living it up on the dole. I imagine she got a social security check for each of the four boys to add to her "health insurance" for that anxiety. Funny how she got through the gigantic, stressful hoard purge without a panic attack but could never manage a quiet office job -- even though she's saved a few hundred pairs of shoes for it. I felt like the only truthful moment was when her daughter said that whenever she asked her mother for anything, she was told she couldn't afford it and then Susan would go spend $200 at Family Dollar. Something made Susan think spending all the family money on clothes for herself was okay because it was at second hand stores. Absolutely. I really wanted someone to call her on, "I bought these things for a reason." Yeah, tell us some of those reasons Susan. I'd be interested to hear the reason for the 78th pair of black pants or that special candle-a- bra.

Not that I know of. They all three seem like nice girls to me. That's why I don't mind if any one of them wins and why Sue is the only one I'll be rooting against.

Spot on, Helens. Kyle was my favorite with Sol in second place, although Sol's recent clothing choices have caused me to think a little less of him. From now on I'll just be rooting against Sue.

I understand your frustration Molly, but how were they supposed to do that? Friends and neighbors can't call up mental health workers and make appointments for other people, or force the mentally ill to go to them, even if they could. We have a woman with schizophrenia in my family and you'd be surprised how impossible it is to "get help" for her even when she's in the midst of serious psychosis. The men in white coats with straight jackets don't exist anymore, you have to call the police to come and get them, and the police kill far more mentally ill people than actual criminals, that we hear so much about. It's not the police's fault, they are dealing with very unpredictable people, but some estimates say that as many as half of all law enforcement homicides involve someone with severe psychiatric disease. Old neighbor Lynda was my hero in this so I hate to see her blamed for anything. I couldn't believe that Lynda managed to make that kitchen sparkle like that in such a short time -- and then Christine walks in and instead of being amazed at the bright cleanliness, she walks straight to some flowered oven mitts and starts raving about them. The girls were the same, finally getting some free space in the basement and their rooms, but showing more excitement over spotting some little "stuffy" they hadn't found for awhile. This show made me wonder if hoarding might be more on the autism spectrum than OCD. Autistic people have often been known to love objects excessively. Are there no rules for homeschoolers? All across America children are growing up with no education because their mothers are claiming to be teaching them and doing nothing.
