I would hope that if the powers that be ever decide to bring Dan back on any upcoming season, the backlash from the fans would be quick and severe.
Bringing back a cast member like that really ticks me off as a Survivor fan. I hated when they brought back Colton. Do NOT bring back Dan.

...especially with Rodney making hand talking signs as Shirin walks by.
Which Shirin possibly didn't see, but Jenn, Joe and Hali clearly did, and reacted to.

The bonus clips make it pretty darn clear that Dan does not see himself as a goat. He talks about the moves he has to make at the right time so that the jury appreciates your game. He really thinks he has a chance to win.
Yeah, he is pretty darn delusional
True story. The scene where Mike asks Dan how he's feeling about tribal council was pretty funny upon second watching. Mike is staring at Dan, and while Mike is in voice-over discussing how Dan wasn't the person he thought he was, the camera kept cutting to Dan running his mouth and counting something on his fingers, but we couldn't hear what Dan was saying. Mike's glazed-over eyes said it all, though.
I feel like last week Jeff really wanted to just slap some sense into everybody left, especially when they started applauding when Shirin got voted off.
And WHY on earth would you applaud the exit of the NEXT JURY MEMBER who is going to play a huge part in whether you win A MILLION DOLLARS?
These people.....

The idea of Tyler, Carolyn, Rodney and Mike all slobbering over Dan in order to bring him to the end is just so ICKY. Would Dan even realize that he is being brought to the end because of his goat-ness? Because I can see him believing that it's his amazing strategic gameplay that has the other survivors fighting over him. It's sad that dragging two of the most despicable survivors I can remember (Dan and Will) to the end to guarantee a win is the best strategy, but I guess they've got to play the cards they're dealt.
It will be interesting to see if Carolyn and Tyler can get in Dan's head to sway his votes, knowing he has the extra vote but not being able to coach him on how to use it.

I can't wait to hear Dan's douche-splaining when he finally reveals that he has that extra vote. Since he is in love with the sound of his own voice, and prefers the dramatic, oddly-punctuated monologue instead of regular conversation, it's sure to be a good time.

I'm puzzled as to why we have had no more references to the Joe idol. It's been 6 days since Joe departed. Have none of them been searching for this? Nobody except for Mike knew that he had found the original Blue idol until last night's tribal. As far as they should have known, there could have been at least two idols out there.
I hope Mike finds the Joe idol. It is supposed to be in a "sea of green" and "floating". I think it could be tied to a big rock just offshore and floating in a bed of seaweed.
Excellent point! For that matter, both Tyler and Mike have the clues to this as yet undiscovered idol - why on earth would they both not be looking for it? We know Mike doesn't sleep anyway, I'd think he would've found it by now. And then Tyler would simply take it out of Mike's bag.
Also, the fact that Tattletale Tyler hasn't yet told anyone that Carolyn has an idol fascinates me. Such restraint on his part. Next week's preview of him cowering like a big baby in front of Dan's wrath had me LOL-ing. As much as I hate the players this season, I cannot look away and breathlessly await every new episode.

If I missed this, forgive me - but has ANYONE in the BC tribe ever questioned who has the WC's immunity idol? Or do they all assume it went away when Joaquin was voted out? I mean, it's kind of a big deal, yes? All it would take is one look at Carolyn's perpetual smug expression to figure it out.
And does anyone else think that Dan spent weeks practicing his sound-bites and facial expressions in the mirror before he went off to Survivorland?

They scare me. I think she had them tattooed, but it's a really bad tattoo & you can see both the tattoo & her real eyebrows at the same time & it's creepy.
Her eyebrows are becoming Joker-esque.

Dan had so many fine moments in this episode! It's impossible to choose my favorite!
1. Hawking up great gobs of spit while insisting to Shirin that "I'm listening!"
2. Devouring 3/4 of a hamburger - I'm sorry, a CHEEEESEburger, in one rapturous, ecstatic, revolting bite
3. Whispering to Rodney during the IC: "You want it, baby! You know you want it!"
4. Adoption > domestic violence
5. Telling Shirin that he was sorry about what happened while desperately trying to arrange his facial features into something resembling compassion (that must've hurt)
Who do I want to win this season of Survivor?
1. Ozzy (Cook Islands)...still bitter
2. Mike, but only if he promises not to talk during the entire reunion
3. Sierra's left eyebrow

I'm a newbie here, and have tried to read every post in this thread. I have watched this episode four times, and forgive me if this has already been covered, but I have to ask: what was Tyler doing during the auction? I was watching him carefully, and I am 99% sure he did not bid on any food. Why did he not go after the advantage with Mike, Carolyn and Dan? I understand that the players might get to keep the money if they choose not to spend it, but this makes zero sense - hold onto $500 in order to forfeit a 1 in 4 chance at an advantage for a possible $1,000,000? If anyone can explain his non-moves to me, I would appreciate it.
I have been a Survivor fan since Episode One, Season One, and I don't think any episode has captured me, for good and bad, like this one did.
EDIT: I have also been wondering - if you want to win the million, you bring Will the Villain to the end with you. If you're on the jury, do you vote for the person who brought the villain to the end to guarantee a win, or do you vote for the villain because the other final Survivor took the easiest route possible? (This is assuming a Final Two, I can't wrap my mind around a Final Three with this group of morons).

I have just discovered this haunting gem, and I have to disagree with the siblings not resembling each other. In Part 1, the four are standing close and talking, and I could see where John and Meg could be brother-sister, where Danny and Kevin both have that disheveled look, like their father (Sam Shepard). I also thought that Kevin and John could be brothers, but in that Dennis/Randy Quaid sort of way, where one brother clearly gets the better genetic hand dealt to him. The only thing that bothered me just a little is that none of them remotely resemble Sissy Spacek. But, no matter, just an observation.
I had a feeling that once I pressed "Play" for Part 1, I'd be hooked, and I am. But I would follow Kyle Chandler anywhere. Looking forward to a rainy day binge watch in the near future.

I cannot abide Mike and his nails-on-a-chalkboard voice. His speech to Dan about how they built their tree fort with blood and sweat...I found myself saying out loud, "Please STOP. TALKING. JUST SHUT UP." And what was up with saying he is not the kind of person to dupe everyone into not taking his letter from home, when 5 seconds before, that is exactly what he was planning to do? It was only the reactions from the rest of the tribe, and possibly Probst, that made him change his mind.
I have watched Survivor, every single episode, since season 1. I will continue to watch this season until the end, even though I could not give less of a crap who wins. Between Tyler the Shady, Carolyn the Smug, Mike the Patrick-From-Spongebob, Rodney the Psycho, Dan the Misogynistic Creep....the players that are currently left are collectively disgusting.

I've been lurking here awhile, so please forgive me if these topics have already been covered:
1. Mike's voice seems to change from Bobcat Goldthwaite-esque to normal, so much so that when he does speak normally, I always have to do a double-take to figure out who is actually talking.
2. Why does Jeff now call the bench at challenges the "sit-out" bench? I don't remember him ever doing that before. By definition, those who sit out and take a seat on the bench are sitting on the "sit-out" bench. Silly Jeff.
3. If Joe and Hali had children, those children would possess the most magnificent manes of hair on the planet.

S30.E11: Survivor Russian Roulette
in Survivor
· Edited by laurakaye
There was a talking head where Dan said something along the lines of realizing that others see him as being on the bottom of his alliance, but he doesn't necessarily think that's true. I can't remember how he justified this, but I do remember him saying it...I think it was after the cheeseburger boat ride.
