When Emily voted she succinctly declared the reason why Drew, and others, wanted to vote Julie out. She promised if Julie makes it to final three she has her vote. The others should be concerned that she will get jury votes if she goes to the final three. That's the reason she needs to be gone. Austin's name got thrown out there for the first time last night. The positive thing that went his way was flushing out Julie's idol. What a stupid move to give her the idol in the first place. Next week is the last time he can play his amulet so he should play it and not take a chance of going home with it burning a hole in his pocket like dear old Bruce. Drew is the only name that hasn't been thrown out there by anyone. I hope he gets to final three. Don't think he'll get the votes for the million though. Austin wants Dee, or himself, to win the million and to ride off into the sunset together like Boston Rob and Amber. Not going to happen. Dee wants it badly. She wants the million more than she wants Austin. Nothing wrong with that. Jake is still there. LOL. Katurah, what a back story. Good for you for all you've accomplished.

Bruce, you are now a member of the club that no one wants to be in. Getting voted out with an idol in your pocket. I have a good feeling about Emily. If she's able to maneuver through the upcoming landmines she may arrive at the final three. If the final three end up being Dee, Emily and Drew she has a chance at the million. I don't think any of the jury members have warm and fuzzy feelings for Drew even though he is a very smart, strategic player. I think Kendra and Kellie have hard feelings towards Dee. Their expressions at tribal council are hilarious. So bitter. Caleb has a soft spot for Emily. She can easily get jury votes. The next few weeks should be good. Jake is still there which is an accomplishment in itself.

Drew and Austin are the brains behind who gets voted out at Tribal Council. Their target has been voted out the last few Tribal Councils. Drew is constantly thinking strategy. The camera lingered on Drew during the conversations he was having with the other tribe members convincing them who they should vote for. Austin and Drew are a team of two and they have the loyalty of Julie and Dee. Thy also have Emily and Jake for now. I suspect something will go wrong though because it seems too predictable. We'll see. Austin is a strategic player. Good for him solving that math problem. During tribal council he was staring at Dee with eyes of love - haha - as she spoke. Is there a blossoming romance?

Awesome tribal council. This is why I watch Survivor. Drew, Austin and Emily are the power trio. Hope they continue to work together.

The Golden Bachelor ladies and Gerry are my age group. I've enjoyed this season. I don't think a Golden Bachelorette season would work as well. As some folks have already said, watching twenty-five 60-75 year old men hanging out in the mansion wouldn't be as fun as watching this fun group of gals. I have a close group of ten girlfriends - we call ourselves "the gal pals" - that have been friends for over fifty years since high school. We love to have fun. We dance, we cook, tour wineries, travel, hike, party it up and laugh a lot. I don't see men in our age group doing this. Don't beat me up for saying this, but "old guys" are kind of boring. Of course, this is a generalization. We all love our own Dads, Grandpas, Uncles, brothers, etc., that are this age, but watching a group of men on a Golden Bachelorette just doesn't sound great. After watching the Women Tell All, my uninformed, non-spoiler prediction is that Gerry chooses Theresa as his final choice and, if I was the producer, I would probably pick Ellen as the bachelorette. She seems real to me. Not fake and full of plastic. Looking forward to the finale!

These folks are my demographic! Driving in a convertible at night on a California freeway. Not a good idea. I live in Southern California - land of the freeway. It was amusing when Gerry mentioned more than once "I'm from Indiana. I've never driven on a California freeway." (paraphrasing) Theresa's hair was getting blown all over the place. Poor thing. Not fun. That date would have been fun during the day. Also, you really have to wear a scarf on your head in a convertible when you're blazing down the highway. He has to keep the numbers for the process but it seems he's really interested in only 3 - 4 of the ladies. Theresa, Faith and Leslie, maybe the blond woman that got the framed photo. I forget her name. Anyway, I'm enjoying this iteration of The Bachelor. So far. I watched the first few seasons of The Bachelor but stopped watching long ago when it stopped being enjoyable and turned into catfights, jealousy and shallow, vapid people.

Brandon - another cast member, like Hannah, that robbed a worthy competitor from being selected for this season. His speech at Tribal Council was over the top. Not even upset about being voted off and having to leave the competition. No fire in the belly. Everything, according to Brandon, was unicorns and rainbows. "Gee, willikers! I made it to Survivor. My dream came true." Now that he's gone let's get back to the real competitors.

When I started watching last night's premiere I knew I would miss Yam Yam, Carolyn and Carson, but was hoping there would be some real characters I could root for this season. So far, doesn't seem like it. Don't beat me up. I know a lot of folks on this forum weren't big Yam Yam fans. I was. Hannah going through the entire process of being selected and then getting out there and realizing it's harder than it looks when you are watching at home. Duh! I've been a true blue Survivor fan since day one but I would never consider auditioning because it looks like it's damn hard out there. I'm too old now - too many aches and pains - but when Survivor started I was in the right age group but I knew I wouldn't be able to handle it. Clueless Hannah.

Statler brought up her sexual antics with Dempsey's friends for shock value She thought she'd sound cool and edgy. Instead she sounded weird and strange. Dempsey's friends couldn't wait to get her alone and tell her to run far away from this odd person.

90 Day Fiance producers, I have a request. After this season please don't cast Gino and Jasmine in any future programming. Thank you!

Dempsey is one of the most well-adjusted people that has appeared on any of the 90 Day Fiance seasons. She's calm, articulate, level-headed, nice, reasonable. She's a cool person and seems to have her act together. Enter Statler. Weird, chaotic, unstable, clingy, needy. Statler needs to slow down, go home, and evaluate things before she pressures Dempsey further. Who tells someone "I'm moving to England and I'm moving in with you!" Statler had an entire one-sided plan figured out for her life. Only problem is that Dempsey wasn't consulted. I have no words for Nikola and his family. What a painful first visit that was. It's all on Nikola. What the heck does Miesha see in this guy?

Kimberly screaming and whining about not being able to cook with garlic has to be the most petty argument she could wage with TJ's family. Really? She sounded like a shrew. After yelling about sacrificing so much to come to India and marry TJ her confessional comes on where she states that "TJ's brother argues like a Virgo." She sounds like a fifteen year old girl reading the horoscopes in Teen Vogue. She's been in a permanent snit since arriving in India and seeing the kitchen. Get over yourself. The world doesn't revolve around you. Well, in her mind, it does. Can someone tell me what she was wearing on her head?

Adios, Chad. Colombia, and its women, will not miss you. He's an embarrassing caricature of a country hick. The end credits said he is engaged to a German woman he met online. What are the odds of the fourth engagement lasting? Maybe she already broke it off after the show aired. Wishing Noureddine and Stanika good luck. I think it will be eye opening for him when he arrives in Mississippi. If he's expecting to arrive in the land of milk and honey and the bright lights of big city USA - NY or LA - Jackson will be a letdown. For Michelle and Pavel and Harold and Michaela, I think the phone calls and texts from Prague will eventually wind down and become non existent.

I hope things work out for Stanika and Noureddine. I like them. They seem mature and compatible. Only time will tell. It's so clear why Chad has three broken engagements. What a mean, selfish brat. Did he think that beautiful woman was going to jump for joy when he asked her to join him in Hicksville, USA to mow grass with him? Adios, Chad, and good riddance. Harold you're rushing things. Take it slower.

I like Noureddine. His mother and his family appear to be very nice, kind and welcoming to Stanika. There isn't a lot of drama with this couple which is fine with me. Mark is full of himself. I don't think he'll find a match in Morocco. He's no prize.
