Tony unanimously unless an EoE member is in F3, like Rob or Parv or Jeremy or Natalie, then the EoE person might get some votes and/or win. But Sarah gets ZERO against Tony. As does Ben and Denise and Michelle. Someone like Adam, Wendell or Nick coming back from EoE would also get ZERO against Tony. Here is a thought...maybe they were waiting for the EoE to be done to vote out Tony so he can't get back in. Risky but a possibility. I do think maybe we'll see him be the target next week. And I still don't like Michelle. But like Jeremy so I was rooting for those 2 last night. Michele just doesn't really do much. She may have kicked it into gear to win immunity when she needed it. But she's been pretty dull up to then. And as mentioned above, she didn't work hard enough to get Ben or Tony or even Sarah voted out. Watch F3 be Ben, Michelle and Sarah. Ugghhh...least deserving 3 left in the back half of the game. Maybe the whole game. I loved Sarah on her past seasons, especially the one she won where she was so cut throat. But she really hasn't played this time around. I would guess Michelle would win if this is the F3 as she'd have Wendell, Jeremy, Nick, Parv and who all else's votes.

True. And while he sucks at the game and bugs the other players...the drama it causes makes for some interesting TV. Better than Michelle and her 'why didn't you ever call me, Wendell' obsession. And now that Wendell is gone she's back to even more boring, piece of furniture, Michelle.

So exactly how would Sophie have dug out that idol and handed it to Jeffy if she got an inkling she was on the chopping block? Boy, THAT would have been something.

Watch...Tony will go next. Then 😴

We got Tony...and Ben. Tony took it up a notch. Ben needs to kick it into gear. Sarah is pretty cray at times too. Adam's going to go nutter and/or do something embarrassing. I'm all in for it. Don't let me down, Adam. And I like Adam but, man, I need some good TV right now. This show is all I got. Stupid ass Westworld jumped the shark in The Lost fashion.

Something is gonna go down with Adam. Tyson telegraphed that. And Sopie seemed to take her blindside badly. I said at the end..."Sophie, go talk to Adam". Cause it seems they will both be losing their shit over where they went wrong. Why da eff did Jeremy give a token to Tony? Why? I was screaming at the TV...'no, don't do it....don't'. Surprised Tony didn't pull a Parv viscous slitting throat (Erik) and oust Jeremy. Really thought that was coming. Tony really is all about a meat shield. And Ben ain't it...I guess. Lol.

Yeah that whispering has got to stop. One of the seasons I just binged (6 or 11) Jeff actually told them to stop talking. He was quick to put a kaibosh (spelling?) to it. Them were the days.

It's just evolved and it will evolve again. It's amazing to watch. It really is a great social experiment. I just wish the show would take the natural approach and not try to force the social agenda so much. There are plenty of opportunities naturally that they really don't need to create it artificially. Though with a more PC society maybe it's not as visible as it was, say, like on Amazon (with the sexism and even a brief delve into homophobia). So maybe that's why they really force the issues. MAybe they should get back to hard core surviving then. Hunger and brutal challenges and bare bones living and the torrential rain and long painful stamina challenges. The one on Guatemala at the end with Rafe, Steph and Danni...that was brutal. And bring back the auction. And when a person wins a reward, have them go solo like they used to or bring just 1 person. Now it's like 6-10 of the tribe gets to go.

Even with it's shit seasons...this really is the greatest show of all time. The game is a work of art. It's like making a mosaic. You have all these pieces of differing sizes and shape and colors. And whichever player completes their picture and has the best looking mosaic is the winner. The pieces are being smart and cunning or playing dumb or crazy...being a comp beast or not being a threat at all...being social and well liked and managing jury or being the villain to be taken to the end....even working at camp or being lazy would be pieces. There are just so many pieces to the game and the player who puts in THE right pieces and completes his picture the best wins. But you also have to watch that other players don't steal your pieces or smash your picture. It is a very delicate intricate crafting. If you're like, my Survivor crush, Joe A and just beast out comps and that's your only pieces you make your picture out of...it won't work. If you're also too big a villain and those are your only pieces...or very strategic and conniving like poor Adam....using just those pieces without fitting in some others then you just have one big solid color square. And you lose. It's also why I prefer OG Survivor. They showed all the pieces whereas now they tend to just show folks trying to outwit. They focus on that so so much. I think it's to push the nerds are winners narrative. Can't show the nerds struggle in the comps or, more so, can't show them lose BECAUSE they struggle in the comps. I think it's why they highlight puzzles so much now.

Judd and Jaime good TV there. Also Rafe was really the mastermind behind a lot of what was going on. And let Steph take the blame. His big mistake was telling Dani she was free of the deal they made. But he should have been brought back. I would say he is very under rated and one of the greatest players of all time. He managed jury well. He won comps. He masterminded flips and ousters without being know. Everyone thought it was Steph but I think it was him who got those 3 so far. I wish Jeff would have asked jury who they would have voted for if Dani took Rafe.

Binge watched season 6- Amazon on Saturday to see what Rob C was all about. Pretty interesting season. All the sexist talk that would NEVER fly today. Rob was a great gamer and Jenna an undeserving winner IMO. But she outlasted. Rob was maybe a bit dumb and blinded by her girly wiles to cut her like he should have. Though Rob dragging cray cray Matt to the end was much like Boston Rob with Philip. Binge watched 11- Guatemala on Sunday.. Guatemala was boring. And had a couple douche bros and another slightly undeserving winner. Steph should have won but bitter jury. Though she didn't do proper jury management and had too big an alliance. Much like Paul on Big Brother. Playing the godfather of this big alliance. Gets you a bitter jury.

I'm in. Intrigued as a married mom who had many thoughts of just bagging it all and running away. Never would have, but just had that fleeting contemplation every now and again. If a married mom says she's NEVER had that thought, she'd be lying. But it is vile to leave your kids. Unless it's a planned getaway where you say you need time to yourself. Like a ladies trip to the beach or something many moms do. But to just RUN like Ruby did. Not decent. However, I am thinking that maybe they aren't her kids. Maybe she's with a divorced guy who has kids from previous marriage. Actually, maybe he's a widower and uses her to fill the role of dead mommy. Hmmm, that seems fitting. In the beginning, in Target parking lot, she did seem deflated and empty. As if she was just going through motions of a life not hers. I've had those feelings so it could be a married mom feeling dead/numb who has lost view of herself...but I am guessing this isn't like that and the kids aren't hers and she really isn't all that into this guy. Just maybe felt sorry for him and got sucked in. So I am all in to see what plays out here. I like the chemistry too. She could also be a nanny to this guy. He's a single dad. Maybe she had been the nanny and the wife died and she still is but way more is expected of her. I am going with that. She is too embarrassed to tell Billy that she didn't make it in her career and is just a nanny. Though why did Billy smile when he saw that photo? You'd think he'd feel guilt and regret and be sad faced, not happy faced?

So, yeah, overall...season 1 rocked. Then it all jumped the shark. Much like The Lost and Walking Dead. So so sad!

Yazzzz!! Just watched Shining TWICE. Yes, twice. (not great to watch right now...just saying). Loved that they included this.

A quick google look and I found article that said jar of PB was 1 token. Maybe she kept the other tokens.

I am alone on my island of 1 who likes Adam and was sad to see him go and in such a way. Hate Tony and starting to hate Ben. And, for the love of all that's holy, please do not let Michelle win this. She is so blahhhh and yet never really on anyone's hit list. I was a little excited when her name was mentioned tonight. But then EVERYONE'S name got mentioned...twice or thrice. I like Sophie, Jeremy, Denise and Sarah. And kinda Tyson. Like, WTH they keeping him around for???? He said, right when he won back in, that if it were him he would vote himself right back off every chance he played. Was that an editing clue? Tyson goes to F3? Nick and Kim are okay. Tony, Ben and Michelle gots to go, ASAP! Oh, and I hope Rob wins back in (very very disappointed in Parvati spilling the beans on the advantage thingy...she's lost her mojo).

I like princess. As a Survivor watcher, she reminds me of the Queen. A little. Otherwise, lame episode.

I think Dolores is still in Hale and the visual of the Hale body being created was an old one. I think someone else is in the Dolores body. Was thinking Bernard but could be Maeve. But Maeve and Dolores dont have that kind of relationship that was shown in that hotel room. Did Dolores, or whoever is in her body, show fake Hale 4 balls plus Bernard's ball? Or 3 plus Bernard's? We have the 2 gals and then 4 or 5 other balls. Who could the 6 or 7 be? Maeve, Bernard, Dolores.....? The others in this season are Sizemore, Stubbs and Hector as well as the 2 worker guys (forget their names) and William/MIB. And Hale. Hale could be Hale. Or her ball is in Dolores. Was Hale shown to be a host last season?

I haven't read all the responses yet. But I think real humans are the rarity and many of these 'people' are robots. When Dolores says she is the last of her kind or something like that (in like epi 1) I think maybe she is dead wrong. Maybe the human race was going extinct and someone created a virtual world for all their memories to go. And it's on auto pilot. I was thinking it's Dolores' ball is in Hale and Bernard is in Dolores. And maybe the Man in Black (William) is THE only human. And all this is a game he built to not be alone in the world. I too have forgotten some of what we learned last season. It's been a long time. And I thought season 2 was kinda lacking so I don't want to rewatch. Loved season 1 and this season is interesting so far.

Aubry too Culpeppers could be in that list (though I am no fan of them)

Wendell was tight with Dom. They were ride or die. But Wendell also kept that chick, forget her name (was it Lauren?) in his pocket. She too thought she was ride or die with Wendell. But that season the jury ended in a tie between Dom and Wendell and we found out what happens then. The 3rd, no votes person, gets voted to the jury and they are the sole deciding vote. So......Wendell won. Michelle is playing the ?Lauren? part this season. Though Wendell was actually nice to ?Lauren?. Edit...her name was Laurel. I think Michelle is in love with Wendell. And she is such a terrible player that she puts her feelings for him above the game. But I also suspect his douche-y-ness towards her is just a show. To throw folks off that they are really a duo. Cause he wasn't like that on his season. So sad to see Yul go. He was my fave on that tribe and one of my faves still left in the game. Can I also say that Rob is the one true sovereign of Survivor...the King. Not Sandra, as she noped on out of there. Meanwhile, there is the portly fella (Rob) shooting up that hillside and pocketing 3/4 tokens (or whatever they were...I MAY have been imbibing a tad too much last night and didn't catch all the details). Oh, and, it was said something about Sandra still remains queen as she bailed out. To that I replied (out loud and with a slur)..."unless one of the ladies wins this season". Because then there will be 2 queens...2 gals with 2 wins. And, for fuck sake, it had better not be Michelle. But I am getting that kinda edit. Her and Wendell in F3. So I still like Adam. Also like Sarah. Like to see their whole tribe stay in the game longer as I don't mind any of the 4. Like Jeremy and Denise. Hope Wendell, Michelle and Tony are next 3 out as they are my least fave.

This makes me think this will be another Michelle win. Blaaahhhh.

Thanks for the 3 sneak peek clips. Don't really need to watch next week as all the pertinent info was in the clips. LOL.

Yeah, that is one season I will NEVER re-watch (along with last season). My 2 least fave.

I don't remember Michelle ever being with Aubry. Aubry's person was old Joe. I don't remember Cydney even being with Aubry so much. Cydney was on her own from what I recall. But Julia and Michelle were close. Though I think she went along with Julia's demise.
