If she somehow make it to the end, I really hope the jury holds this against her. I don't buy her apology one bit, she's not sorry at all, and to this day as she is watching at home I bet she's still upset about that EXACT BURGER.
I mean…if I'm F7, doesn't my plan now shift to trying to drag both Q and Liz to the end? I would think that would guarantee me the win, or at least a front row seat to the most batshit final tribal ever.
"Yeah, I threw a monkey wrench in everyone's plans time and again, but it got me to the end, didn't it?"
"THIS MOTHERFUCKER OWES ME A BOURBON BURGER."
Jeff ain't got enough popcorn for that.

I'm a horrible person. Ricky/Cesar: Go straight. Just go straight. Me: Not gonna happen.
It reminded me of how a friend would give directions when she was riding with her gay bestie: "Proceed forward without changing direction."

Kenzie looked like she was about to volunteer her Applebee's spot to Liz.
That's what I thought too. But then Liz just had to go and reopen her yap, and down went Kenzie's hand. Liz's sense of entitlement is unbelievable, so I don't feel bad about laughing like an idiot every time she got a confessional. I'm surprised nobody even floated the notion of voting her out just for being insufferably hangry.
Charlie talking about exercising his hand and forearm to strengthen his grip sent my mind to a very bad place.

Jelinsky. Bhanu. Q. This cast is a relay team of exhausting people.

This is not Top Croquette!
I'm also surprised Kaleena didn't get dinged for store-bought pasta, especially since she initially described it as more of an Alfredo. She must've really killed it on the flavors.
Feeling like the wheat is starting to separate from the (relative) chaff. I guess after bombing in both Quickfires and being B3 in two of three elimination challenges, Kenny didn't have a lot of road left in him anyway.

Nice start for Soo, but why wasn't he just thrown in the pool along with the others? Was his application delayed by a technicality that the producers decided to waive at the last minute? If he makes it to the main competition, people who don't watch LCK will question his presence and have no reason to invest in him. If he doesn't, then this whole exercise was pointless. It just seems so sketchy.
That said, I didn't miss David either, ha!

Wow, so my opinion of David was shared by almost all of you! I am so glad to see the back of him. His idea of stuffing gnocchi made no sense; I couldn't believe TWO PEOPLE thought that was a good idea.
Maybe it was meant in a sabotage-y way? Don't interrupt your competition when they're making a mistake, and all that. "Yeah, cool out-of-the-box thinking, bro, you roll with that. Sounds sexy."
That said, it's always nice when an obnoxious one goes home first; it's like a freebie that gives us a chance to get to know everyone else a little better. (Sure, he could bounce back from LCK, but nobody's taking that bet.)
Got halfway through the episode before realizing I didn't miss Padma after all. Which isn't a knock on her but a seamless changing of the guard.

The fact that this show thought spending an inordinate amount of time on someone like Bhanu - voted out in the fourth episode - just shows how far up their own asses they are now. I'm taking it at face value that Probst thinks Bhanu's "journey" is what the show is all about.
They've drunk their own Kool-Aid if they've convinced themselves this is what we want out of Survivor. "Characters" like Bhanu who have a "story" to tell. This is why all the challenges are lame iterations of the same thing over and over again, they don't care about those anymore, they think we just want to spend time with "characters" like Bhanu. That's what they think makes "good TV."
QFT.
One more vote for keeping separate threads. I don't know why the Amazing Race ones got consolidated, but: not a fan. Sometimes I enjoy live reactions, sometimes I just want the post-game analysis and don't want to dig through 158 posts to find where it begins in #159.

Have we even had that many incompetent Asians on the show before? We’ve had a lot of them be early boots, but I can’t think of many of them that did much wrong. Jenny from 42 had 2 allies who lost their votes when she went home. Helen from 44 didn’t seem to do anything that caused her boot.
Woo comes to mind...
IDK—from casually scanning this list, I feel like we've seen the full spectrum of gameplay, same as any other group. (And somehow I'm still bitter about Michelle from OG Fiji getting totally screwed by a tribal swap.)

Gamers can guess from my profile pic that I could barely focus on tonight's premiere, what with the long-awaited release of Final Fantasy Several tomorrow.
What a fucking doofus. Cheers to Q for leading the charge on getting him out. How dim do you have to be to consider that tribal a blindside?
On names: Jelinsky's first name is David. Soda's full name is Sodasia. Q's full name is Quintavius.

Speaking as someone who has lived in the UK all her life, I've always heard both, interchangeably. The main distinction I was aware of as a child in the 80s was that strict churchy people preferred to say 'happy Christmas' because they associated the word 'merry' with strong drink! But a lot of people prefer to say 'merry Christmas' because they can then add 'and a happy New Year' without having to repeat the word 'happy'.
I do not, however, know what the popular preference would have been in the 1940s.
Interesting—I also had the impression (as an American) that it was only in recent decades that people started using the two more interchangeably. Same with Father Christmas/Santa Claus, but maybe I'm wrong there as well.

I don't remember him mentioning his wife prior to this episode.
He mentioned being married in passing several weeks back. That's when he officially became my second favorite. Totally unrelated, of course. I will miss the accent, though.
A work thing came up last night, so I haven't watched the finale yet; I just came here to see which Not Dahmere won. Debating whether I want to take two hours out of my schedule to see it or if I can just assume it was the usual Gordon tropes with zero surprises.

We finally get rid of Jason, and suddenly the edit positions Johnathan as the resident dickhead. Not sure we needed a villain at this stage, but whatever.
Dahmere will go down as one of the bullshittiest eliminations in the show's history, but I suppose this clears the path for Ryan, who best fits the whole American Dream narrative they've been pushing anyway.

I don't see it but I hope you're right. Then at least there's one funny/interesting thing happening in the finale lol.
There's basically zero hope for actual surprises tonight, right? The bros bro down to the very end. Frank Eudy, Jr....I mean, Matt wins handily because Jag perfectly replicated Paul's game. The jury has probably been advised that there's one secret twist that's gone unrevealed until now, and coached to act more shocked about whatever it might be than they actually are. Matt or Cirie wins AFP. See you for the special winter edition, love one another.
It's sad that the thing I'm most intrigued about is the reaction to the revelation of Bowie's age/background. ("Shouldn't you be smarter, then...?")

Why do people even agree/apply to be on this show??
They just want to make friends for 100 days and give your friend the money??
IT'S A GAME - if you're not going to play to win, why bother??
Stockholm syndrome? You're stuck in a house with strangers (...usually), you form bonds with them, and even though you're ostensibly still jockeying for position, the connections you make muddy those waters and it's harder to keep your eye on the goal because on some level you may be rooting for others as well.
That's one reason I'd be reluctant to go on the show—by the time I reached the jury stage, it could be hard to keep cutthroat focus on the money because I might actually like or at least sympathize with some of these people.

Well, ya know, that's just the kind of 3D chess those of us with a mere one or two majors can't possibly comprehend...

Well, this season’s been withering on the vine since Zombie Week, but I’m glad we all stuck it out anyway—it’s the people you meet along the way who make the journey suck less. I don’t even know why I go into the episode threads, all the cool people are here. Thanks as always to the feed watchers for keeping us apprised on every bit of in-house stupidity and I look forward to y’all’s thoughts as we march toward that final disappointment.

Taylor said she thought the letter from Reilly to Matt was stupid and she assumed it was set up by production. She also hates Blue's Kitty Kitty Purr Purr

Something kind of sweet -- Cirie has collected a photo from every HOH winner's photos. I don't know what she plans to do with them given the way she's talked about everyone. Maybe she just wanted an excuse to hold on to a few of Jared's family photos.
OR, she could be planning some kind of Dark Arts ritual once she gets out.
Maybe nothing so arcane.

SEVEN DAYS, YOU GUYS. Seven days left in this group experiment on sunk cost fallacy.
I’m already wondering what the post-game dynamics will be like. How long will Reilly pretend to be interested in Matt, especially if he loses? Will Cameron and Red rebuild bridges? Will anybody acknowledge Bowie’s existence?
I’m assuming Cirie will just go back to Survivor alum circles and pretend this summer never happened. Like most of us!

So basically, the only time a woman won a Veto is when Jag couldn’t win twice. At least in this instance. 🤔

So if that rumor's true, then the breakdown could be:
Next out: J. Maya, Sifu (first casualties from original Reba)
Early jury: Bruce, Kellie, Kendra/Katurah (all original Belo)
F8: Kaleb, Emily (the end of Lulu)
SITDed?: Drew
F5: Austin, Dee, Julie (three Rebas), Jake, Katurah/Kendra (two Belos)-

Although -- what if Felicia wins? The only possible explanation would be that God loves her more than the others. (I've noticed that God isn't crazy about Tennessee, at least when they play Alabama or Florida.) After anointing Felicia on finale night, he or she might even smite Jared.
He'll be right there on the stage.
The scariest thing about the idea of God intervening directly on this dumb show is how insufferable Julie would be about it ever after.

S46 Ep. 10 "Run the Red Light"
in Survivor
"Dear Santa, I would like ALL THE CHAOS."
Am I crazy for kind of hoping Liz goes off on someone else next week? Liz Roulette!
